Steve Sabol Memorial

Yesterday afternoon NFL Films employees had their own memorial to honor Steve Sabol's legacy. At the ceremony, the following permanent fixtures at NFL Films were unveiled:

1) The address has been officially changed to "One Sabol Way."

2) An "SDS" flag ("Steve Douglas Sabol," better known as "Sudden Death Sabol") was raised in front of the building. It will fly alongside the American flag and "NFL Films" flag.

3) A small tree was planted beside the flags, to symbolize the continued growth of NFL Films.

4) The area outside of the Main Lobby has been renamed "Sudden Death."

5) Behind the reception desk now hangs a photo of Ed and Steve Sabol, along with one of Steve's favorite quotes: "Life is great...football is better."

6) Steve Sabol's parking space, which was originally painted with his name, now has three stars added to represent the Past, Present and Future of NFL Films.

I feel that the best way for the employees of NFL Films to honor the legacy of Steve Sabol is to continue it.
