We’re actually closer to pitchers and catchers reporting than we are to the end of the World Series.  How can the picture NOT have been changed?

It’s laughable that there have been threads locked for not being “baseball-oriented in content” but apparently the powers-that-be have so little baseball knowledge that they think the Phillies are still world champs.

Unbelievable.  And the fact that this has been brought up so many times by so many people just makes the fact that the pictures hasn’t been changed even more petty.

Sabol came home to Mount Laurel, New Jersey and started working with his father in what used to be called Blair Motion Pictures and became NFL Films in the mid-1960s, when then-Commissioner Pete Rozelle was impressed by the Sabols’ work, and became convinced of the importance their efforts would be in creating a mythology around the game.
The Sabols became the caretakers of the league’s history, and their incredible work has captured the excitement and emotion of football for generations. Ed Sabol was finally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011, and the company has won a total of 97 Sports Emmys. Steve Sabol has worked with the company in just about every possible capacity — from cameraman (he shot the Ice Bowl, among many other historic games) to producer to emcee to company overseer. When it comes to overall influence in the game of professional football, there may be a few people more influential than Steve Sabol, but it’s a pretty short list.

Everyone at Shutdown Corner would like to pass along our thoughts and prayers for Mr. Sabol’s quick and complete recovery. If you would like to pass along your well-wishes to Mr. Sabol, you may do so at Sabol.nflfilms@nfl.com.
