The season premiere of Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the New York Jets landed on HBO and Liev Schreiber made a surprising appearance dropping in on Aaron Rodgers via a helicopter.
Rodgers had been vocal about not being thrilled about doing Hard Knocks but said that the only thing that he liked about the show was “the voice of God, who narrates it,” and hoped he got to meet him.
The wishes of the future NFL Hall of Famer came true when Schreiber literally dropped in and descended from the sky via a black chopper. As the helicopter landed, Rodgers is seen telling his teammate Zach Wilson that it was “the narrator of Hard Knocks… the voice of God” who was coming to practice.
“Full disclosure, I wanted to drive but the producers thought a helicopter might be more dramatic… I should’ve ironed my shirt,” Schreiber narrated as he...

NFL Network‘s Rich Eisen knows he’s carrying on a great NFL Films legacy as narrator of NFL Icons. Under the leadership of filmmaker Steve Sabol and with the power of John Facenda‘s baritone voice, NFL Films documentaries enraptured generations of football fans. “When I get the scripts sent to me from NFL Films, I hear Steve Sabol’s voice in my head,” Eisen says. “I do hear Facenda’s voice in my head, because the scripts are written in the same way. The story that I’ve heard many times from folks who’ve worked at NFL Films is John Facenda, when he got a script and a line in a script that he liked, he said, ‘Now that’s a horse I can ride.’ The number of horses I’ve been able to ride because of NFL Icons, I’ve lost track.” Currently in its second season,...

Steve Sabol, who died Tuesday of brain cancer at age 69, wasn't the founder of NFL Films, but he was its heart and soul. Here's a look at some of the ways Sabol helped his father, Ed Sabol, turn a $240,000 deal into a force that changed TV sports, the movies—and especially Sundays: 1. The Mythology: The 1965 deal struck between the league and the Sabols, who committed to documenting every NFL game of every NFL team, helped transform a game into a religion, and highlight reels into drama, complete with tantalizing slow motion and, in the early years, "the voice of God," narrator John Facenda. The touch of the younger Sabol, who was a film buff as much as a football fan, was evident....

Steve Sabol, who revolutionized the way sports are covered in America as the president of NFL Films, died on Tuesday from brain cancer, according to NFL.com. He was 69.
In the early ’60s, Sabol joined his father Ed Sabol in creating a new style of looking at the sport of football — it was intimate, passionate, and brought fans used to watching from the stands, or their living-room La-z-Boys, closer to the field than they had ever been. It was one thing to watch a game on TV on Sunday, it was quite another to relive it the following week thanks to the Sabols,...

AMC Jon Hamm as Don Draper in “Mad Men.”
So, if things continue on this path, it’s safe to say there definitely might not be an NFL season this coming fall. And, if the glum news from AMC is correct, we won’t have a new run of “Mad Men” until 2012.
Which, to millions of Americans, stinks quite royally. No NFL Sundays? No “Mad Men” Sundays? What about all that suddenly spare time?
Not to worry. Here’s a...
