Steve Sabol Obituary
In March 2011, Sabol was diagnosed with a tumor on the left side of his brain after being hospitalized for a seizure.
He started working with his father, Ed - NFL Films' founder - in 1964, and they introduced a series of innovations now taken for granted today, from slow-motion replays to sticking microphones on coaches and players.
"Steve Sabol was the creative genius behind the remarkable work of NFL Films," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement from the league confirming Sabol's death. "Steve's passion for football was matched by his incredible talent and energy. Steve's legacy will be part of the NFL forever. He was a major contributor to the success of the NFL, a man who changed the way we look at footb all and sports, and a great friend."
Ed Sabol was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year. The two received the Lifetime Achievement Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 2003.
Steve Sabol has also received the Pete Rozelle Award, presented each year to someone who made an outstanding contribution to professional football. In 2007, the Hall of Fame honored him with the Dan Reeves Pioneer Award.
"We see the game as art as much as sport," he told The Associated Press before his father's Hall induction. "That helped us nurture not only the game's traditions but to develop its mythology: America's Team, The Catch, The Frozen Tundra."
Sabol received 35 Emmys for writing, cinematography, editing, directing and producing. No one else had ever earned that many Emmys in as many different categories.
He began his career as a cinematographer under his father. He was the perfect fit for the job: an all-Rocky Mountain Co nference running back at Colorado College majoring in art history.
The Sabols treated sport as film and changed the way Americans watched and perceived games. Their advances included everything from reverse angle replays to setting highlights to pop music.
"Today of course those techniques are so common it's hard to imagine just how radical they once were," the younger Sabol told the AP last year. "Believe me, it wasn't always easy getting people to accept them, but I think it was worth the effort."

My condolences to the Sabol family,my thoughts and prayers are with you. I was sad to hear about the passing of Steve. And my sympathy to his NFL FILMS family as well. May GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. May the LORD grant you strength, and give you peace. About two years ago, I wrote to NFL FILMS. Just telling Steve how much I enjoy his work. And that I was a Steelers fan. He sent me a letter back,to tell me he appreciated my kind words about nfl films. And also sent me Steeler dvds. Which was very nice of him to do. And totally unexpected. I never met Steve, and he did not know me. I thanked him for the gift. There is a reason why some people are great. They know how to treat people. They just act,and carry themselves the right way. We lost one of the great ones. Steve and his father ED SABOL,were pioneers. They brought the NFL into your living room. The sights and sounds. The voice of JOHN FACENDA,And later HARRY KALAS.And the music. I was hooked. I remember the Joe KAPP one. How he never gave up. Win or lose he was the best he could be. How that would pump you up. Or BUTKUS crushing somebody. OR UNITAS, OR WALTER PAYTON. FRANCO, BRADSHAW. I loved hearing their stories. It must be great doing something you love for a living. Steve was blessed to find his calling in life. You could tell that he and his father were football fans. What a great life, and legacy. Entertaining and bringing joy to millions of people. Steve you left your mark. Both of you are responsible for making new fans, and for making the NFL the popular sport that it is. THANK YOU. R.I.P. STEVE. With sympathy, BILL LOVELAND. SCRANTON,P.A.

Nobody did it better. Steve and NFL Films were and are every bit as important to Professional Football as television. What a shame that major league baseball doesn't have a "keeper of the flame" that has preserved its history the way Steve and NFL Films has preserved the history of Professional Football.

To be united in effort creates a bond. Mr. Sabol and his father had that bond. Together they made something for all mankind to enjoy and we do. We set in our homes and hear everything going on miles away on the football field. This is the way The Father and the Son worked together in creating mankind and all that we see in the earth.Gen 1:26 He The Father and He The Son were one because they worked together and were in agreement in purpose. may you be comforted by these words.

Every NFL player and owner should reflect upon this and say a prayer tonight for Steve and his family.

To the Sabol family.
I am writing for my husband, Conan Cantwell of Dallas Tx. Conan and Steve were college room mates at Colorado College their junior year. What a year it was for "Sudden Death Sabol."
Conan speaks so fondly of Steve and Ed Loosli. Conan has had tongue cancer and a stroke these past two years. He is doing well as of today. Conan would love to share a photo with you but we do not have your address. If you wish to receive the photo, please reply. Conan sends his best to Steve's parents.

I would simply say "the voice". I loved the warmth and the passion that he gave to us in telling the story about football. When a person has so much to give, the question beggede to be asked, Why? Why do good people die? Roman 5:12. However the promises of God will come true. 1Cor.15:54-57

Anyone who is a fan of the NFL knows how much both Ed and Steve Sabol mean't in bringing this game we love into a new place that everyone could enjoy. The innovations they created are lasting tributes to not only their brillance but their vision for all future fans of the NFL. The game has lost a big part of what it is and the Sabol's will always be remembered for their contributions to the NFL.

The Sabol's- I can't imagine the pain you'er experiencing at this time. Certainly, if a person such as your husband, father and son has the ability to give all of us great memeories as he did, one can only imagine what private memories you all shared. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into an artistic, serious, but funny and always class mind and poet, by way of word and film. I appreciate those moments that allow us to celebrate things in life such as a football game shot and delivered by Mr. Sabol. May the God who comforts us bring you all some measure of peace during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all- Richard and family (Oakland "The Autumn Wind" Raider fans)
