Life Is Good. Football Is Better.

My Father Always Used To Say ‘treat Everyone As A Gentleman; Not Because They Are, But Because You Are.’

I Think In The Nfl Knowledge Is Power, And You Try To Get The Knowledge By Whatever Means.

I Never Thought Of What I Was Doing As A Way To Sell The Nfl. I Was Making Movies About A Sport That I Loved, About Players And Coaches That I Respected. I Wanted To Convey My Love Of The Game Through Film. And Most Artists Convey Their Love Through Art. And My Art And My Love Was Expressed Through Film.

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.

When We Started Nfl Films, There Were No Focus Groups, There Were No Demographic Studies, There Were No Surveys. Every Decision That We Made, We Made With Our Hearts, Not With Our Heads. And, In The Very Beginning, We Really Didn't Even Have A Business Plan.
