Just wonderful

If you haven't seen Steve Sabol presenting his father Ed Sabol for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and have 10 minutes to spare, give it a look.

It's got a short biography on Ed Sabol, pre-NFL Films, the story of the start of NFL Films, and one last Ed Sabol directed short, including so many of the classic captures we've come to love, with narration from John Facenda underneath them.

I really hope the rumors aren't true, about what the NFL Network is doing to NFL Films. But even if they are, and this amazing company will never be the same, nothing can take away the 50 years of gems NFL Films has given us.
