Before Ed Sabol delivered his NFL Hall of Fame Induction Speech, we were all treated to his last NFL Films production, which he began to put together after he learned of his enshrinement back in February. For the founder of NFL Films, Sabol capped the essence of what he did so well for decades: relate and bring to life football to its legions of fans. The camaraderie, the struggle, the triumph--it was all there.
Ed Sabol Hall Of Fame Speech: NFL Films Founder Thanks His Fans
“I dreamed the impossible dream,” Ed Sabol began his speech, son Steve behind him. “And I’m living it now.” He was unlike many of the other Hall of Famers who thanked their coaches during their speeches. But he did have fans: “All of you out there are my fans.” He thanked everyone, but realized that wasn’t quite enough to acknowledge all that they did to help NFL Films become a success.
Sabol kept his speech short, but that was all he needed to do. His legacy at NFL Films speaks volumes unto itself.
