Quotes

I never thought of what I was doing as a way to sell the NFL. I was making movies about a sport that I loved, about players and coaches that I respected. I wanted to convey my love of the game through film. And most artists convey their love through art. And my art and my love was expressed through film. Steve Sabol
There have been nine Super Bowls in New Orleans, and not all of them have brought the best of luck to NFL Films. We got robbed twice there, got food poisoning, and my hotel room was broken into on the day the Bears played the Patriots in January 1986. Steve Sabol
All this technology has not changed the way NFL Films does business and our process. Yes, with one touch of a button now you reach millions of people but it is still the same approach that my father and I started out with. Steve Sabol
Steve Sabol quote: "How about that? You can hear NFL Films music on everything..."

Steve Sabol quote: "Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that..."
Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that in our films. Steve Sabol
NFL Films has had one continuous, creative vision for 47 years. These are timeless things; timeless stories that we capture just like people go back and read Greek mythology. Steve Sabol
Covering a Super Bowl is actually one of the easiest things we do because our most experienced people are there. We'll have 25,000 feet of film and there's no way you're going to miss anything. Steve Sabol
The only other human endeavor on which there's more 16-millimeter film than pro football is World War II, and we're going to pass that in 2013. Steve Sabol
