Rubes Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I know this is about Facenda (the greatest), but this just reminds me of one of the greatest albums I had as a kid... The Music from NFL Films (Vol. 1) 1

Ed and Steve Sabol, together with John Facenda, formed the Holy Trinity at NFL Films...they were the right people at the right time, and their talents turned the NFL, not into America's pastime, but into America's passion. My generation, us old geezers in our sixties, began our love for the game thanks to this magnificent trio. THE voice of the NFL belongs in their HOF. Period! I know Dan Patrick has talked about this a lot and said he even wrote letters. 1

He did get some sort of award in 2003 but imo he was THE best sportswriter to ever cover football and especially the draft. If he was alive today he would be a multi-millionaire He died WAY too soon. 😟 Having a lifetime award during next NFL draft would be nice. At Hall of Fame induction they could include a segment on players who he did film on being awarded. 1

Sargent Hulka Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Not to highjack the thread, but watching that video, where Raiders Ben Davidson sacks Jack Kemp and gives Kemp's ankle an extra twist as he gets up. Davidson also broke Joe Namath's jaw, and speared Len Dawson with his helmet in a game made famous after the Chiefs Otis Taylor retaliated and went after Davidson. Davidson was a dirty SOB of a player 1
