They had a unique way of telling the story of a football game. Be it a regular season grinder in week 8, the pressure cooker of a playoff game, or the grand dame, the Super Bowl, NFL Films would build a great narrative making the game legendary. They had the knack of crafting the ebb and flow of the game into a great story. I could imagine working there and turning sport into art.
Unfortunately, it seems their days are numbered. With the advent of the NFL Network, the powers that be want to destroy the best that they got. NFL Network is slowly suffocating NFL Films with its ESPN style format converting the beautiful into the hyperactive.
They're wrong to do this.
