That sucks. I spent many a sick day home from school watching Steve Sabol in the Super Bowl highlight shows on ESPN.

RIP Steve.

It's funny. I'm not hearing anything either. I just heard on the radio here in South Jersey...about 15 from NFL Films.

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

Rich Eisen just tweeted about it, said that everyone at NFL Network is mourning the loss...think it's official

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

All of us here at @nflnetwork are crestfallen and mourn the loss of the genius and iconoclast Steve Sabol. May he rest in peace.

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

Yeah, it's confirmed on NFL.com and Twitter....

Man this is sad news. Any one who ever watched the NFL, even for a minute, owes both Steve and his father.

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

Yeah they just announced it on NFL Network. Rich seems to be nearly fighting through tears.

RIP Steve. Its hard to imagine what the NFL would be like without him.

[jamie1981]

So sad. I miss all of the 90's NFL Films specials that he hosted.

So sad. Here's one of my all-time favorite NFL Films vignettes:

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

It really is hard to imagine NFL Films without both Steve and his father Ed. I just hope it never loses the vision which both men put forward, both worked so hard to achieve.

In a way.. NFL Films also loses a little bit of its magic just because of the passing of Steve.

Throw your rivalries and match ups out the window. The next week should be spent honoring the Sabol name.

Wow... He's the voice of NFL films. RIP

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

Very sad day. He started my love of the history of the NFL by doing the intros on the old "This Is The NFL" 25 or so years ago. He practically did everything at NFL Films from writing the scripts John Facenda so eloquently read to giving the ideas to what he wanted Sam Spence to use for those iconic songs. He just seemed like a regular guy that loves football. Like me. R.I.P.

I think that's one of the reasons why we're all going to miss him so much. He wasn't one of these owners or someone who just did it for money, he did it because he loved football. And football loved him.

He was just one of us, a fan of the game. Just watching NFL Network, seeing Rich Eisen almost in tears.. I'm finding it hard myself to hold back.

Re: RIP Steve Sabol

You brought so much of the game to me that I would not have seen otherwise. You will be missed.
