NFL Films President Steve Sabol has brain tumor

The President of the beloved NFL Films industry is in the hospital, undergoing radiation and chemotherapy after a brain tumor was discovered in the filmmakers brain.

Sabol, who is the son of Ed Sabol, a World War II vet, who's passion for football and film, created NFL Films, became the voice of the industry since the late 1970's.

Steve was always seen introducing highlight films for Super Bowls, season recaps, and many fun things like NFL blooper videos at the beginning of each film. With his father, Steve Sabol brought new life and understanding about the game of football and the passion its players put into the sport.

A sample video that looks into the production of NFL Films is here.

Ed Sabol is to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in August, let's all pray that Steve will be there to watch his father's enshrinement.
