Host/NFL Films co-founder Steve Sabol has died at the age of 69 from a brain tumor.

How sad. I grew up watching all his clip shows (and blooper specials) on ESPN in the afternoons, how he and his capsulized the entire history of the NFL and made iconic coaches/players larger than life, a mythology of past titans that stunned and awed you with their God-given talents and self-earned victories. As a kid they somehow made pivotal moments (Jets win SB3, Norwood goes wide left, Ice Bowl, etc.) all come off on the level of friggin Pearl Harbor.

Good shit.
