I like to give a belated heartfelt thanks to the late Ed & Steve Sabol, for "NFL Films", the priceless gift they gave all football fans . Here in the UK, in the 80's they were very hard to find and I treasured everyone. Go Hawks

I wasn't born until 67, so I didn't get a chance to see these games live. However, every year my Grandparents took me to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. They showed many of these older films there and they all were amazing! It was always fun! Great times! The Sabol's Company, NFL Films was a great and perfect match for pro football! They nailed it every video/movie/short. It was/is/and will always be, pure excitement and pure entertainment!

These films show how great we once were. Nobody is going to believe it otherwise.

The NFL could lose every digital print from 1990 , until today. I wouldn't miss them at all.

He could name every offensive lineman. So I'm not alone after all. I was 4 yrs old in 1962, but I know all these players just the same. Thanks to the Sabol family.

Because the metal film canisters are rusted shut the rust has taken all the oxygen out of inside film canister thus the film is expertly kept in its original state. That helps the colors to remain vibrant. This film is a true historical goldmine. THANK U SABOL FAMILY THANK U DEARLY.

Never understood why NFL Films never wanted to merchandise any of this material to the general public...I would love to be able to watch old NY Giant games for example...

I have NOT watched NFL in recent times, especially since the dishonor of our sacred flag in recent times. I use to eat, sleep, and drink pro football 24/7 all during late 1950's, 60's, and 70's. The "rule changes" of the 80's started me on the way out of a passion I had since I was a kid in the 50's. The desecration of our sacred flag by ungrateful, disrespectful, unpatriotic scum finished me off with NFL. I had went to Fulton County Stadium to support our Atlanta Falcons and as time passed, I noticed a "change" in the players, in the owners, in the coaches. Gone was the sense of loyalty to the city the team played in! Gone was the honor-code of the players to the team they played on! Gone was the positive image once set by pro football players! The NFL, inside and out, changed for the worse, as has the country. These NFL film clips are wonderful memories of a great nation, great sport, great players, and great fans! Wonderful! You talk about tough! These guys were the ultimate tough guys without steroid use! My heart longs for those days of past when the game was played by players who loved the game! Played in bad weather! Played on real sod-grass fields! Loyal to the country and was honored by a call from the president after a championship win. Last year the Eagles "refused" to go to the White House and be honored by President Trump. This is how far NFL has sunk now! I hate seeing fans in the stadium watching NFL now. These people are just as bad to go there and support, with their money, the further desecration of our flag and country. These films are of a wonderful time period, maybe the best ever, for this nation. As an old man now, I can remember and remember well these great times recorded by NFL films of yesteryear days.

One of my favorites. I wish i was alive during the era of pro football in the 60's. I would've kept up with the NFL and AFL. RIP Steve Sabol.

The Sabol family helped popularize the NFL. The NFL owes them much.

In my opinion NFL films is only second to National Geographic as far as documentaries goes. They've really brought a type of history, albeit American sports history to as clear a picture as has ever been shown.
