I Was Kicked Out Of School One

To Me, Football Is Very Personal. Even As A Kid, I Looked At Football In Dramaturgical Terms. It Wasn't The Score That Interested Me, It Was The Struggle.

Football Is Such A Great Game, But Football Players Are So Dull.

My Dad Hated His Job. He Sold Overcoats, But He Wanted To Make Movies. He Had A Failed Career Working With The Ritz Brothers - They Were Like The Marx Brothers, Only A Tier Below. I Always Had A Picture In My Mind Of Him In A Straw Hat.

Look At A Football Field. It Looks Like A Big Movie Screen. This Is Theatre. Football Combines The Strategy Of Chess. It's Part Ballet. It's Part Battleground, Part Playground. We Clarify, Amplify And Glorify The Game With Our Footage, The Narration And That Music, And In The End Create An Inspirational Piece Of Footage.

I Have Loved Football As An Almost Mythic Game Since I Was In The Fourth Grade. To Me, The Game Wasn't Even Grounded In Reality. The Uniform Turned You Into A Warrior. Being On A Team, The Mythology Of Physical Combat, The Struggle Against The Elements, The Narrative Of The Game.
