NFL Films' Steve Sabol was a Philadelphia Legend: Fan Reaction

Every life is a symphony. There is an abstract soundtrack to everything we do out there somewhere. It'd be interesting to hear it, although I suppose we can each determine on our own what ours would be. For Steve Sabol, it'd be hard to imagine hearing anything but the rolling orchestral arrangements made famous by his family business -- NFL Films.

Sabol passed away Tuesday at the age of 69 after a year and a half battle with brain cancer, and in his passing, the city of Philadelphia lost another sports legend with close ties to the South Jersey based company.

Sabol once told Hall of Fame sportswriter and a longtime NFL Films employee Ray Didinger, "To me, football is more closely associated with music than any other sport. I think of the drums and the bands and thought the music in our films should be more theatrical."
