    Who cares. I mean, besides this dudes family whom I hope are hanging in there why do we have to deify some video producer?

    RIP Scott Jones - the slop bucket guy from the hot dog stand outside section 332 at metlife stadium.

    Nobody is saying he was a deity. NFL films taught us a lot about the history of the NFL and players who got the league to where it is today.

    Truly sad day.

    I was hoping to hire this guy to narrate a video about the awesomeness of my dad's life.

    Sometimes when I'm going on a glorious gambling run the music from NFL films is the soundtrack in my head.

    Take some time to show respect, boys. Steve's been described as a genius, and I concur.

    Holy shit, his stuff was good. Facenda voice and the great music. The Super Bowl recaps were great, and somehow they never got old.

    Got damn, RIP Steve. Take a whiff, boys, we'll all be gone soon enuf.
