    Much of what we enjoy today as football fans in terms of seeing and feeling the game; we owe to Ed Sabol's visionary skills.

    During his tenure at NFL Films from 1964 to 1995, the organization won 52 Emmy Awards.



    NEW YORK --

    " Ed Sabol, the NFL Films founder who revolutionized sports broadcasting and reimagined pro football from an up-and-coming league to must-watch theater, has died. He was 98.

    Sabol died Monday at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona, the NFL said."
