NEW YORK ? NFL Films President Steve Sabol has died from brain cancer. He was 69.

The NFL said Sabol died Tuesday, 18 months after he was diagnosed with a tumor on the left side of his brain. Sabol started working with his father Ed, NFL Films? founder, in 1964, and their innovations revolutionized sports broadcasting and helped make the NFL the country?s most popular sport.

Back in the days before ESPN - yes, there were sports before ESPN - "This is the NFL" was the only place to get highlights of all the games. I couldn't wait for that show every week. NFL Films did a lot to make me love football. I feel like another part of my childhood died today.

I miss a good mud bowl like this one between the Chargers and Browns:

I'd love to know why sometimes videos imbed and other times they show up as links when I post them the same way every time.
