  • Our picture montage is a collection of some of the great all-pro linebackers in NFL history over the years.

    The classic NFL music in the background is a song from Autumn Thunder from NFL Films.
    "Round Up" by Sam Spence
    The music is riveting and riveted into my memory from the 1970s when it was featured on "This Week in Pro Football" regularly. The NFL Films composer of this song, Sam Spence, is a favorite of mine.
    Featured are some of the following top NFL linebackers of all-time:
    Andre Tippett, New England Patriots
    Jack Ham, Pittsburgh Steelers
    Andy Russell, Pittsburgh Steelers
    Jack Lambert, Pittsburgh Steelers
    Junior Seau, San Diego Chargers
    Bobby Bell, Kansa City Chiefs
    Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears
    Dick Butkus, Chicago Bears
    Tommy Nobis, Atlanta Falcons
    Jeff Siemon, Minnesota Vikings
    Roy Winston, Minnesota Vikings
    Clay Matthews, Cleveland Browns
    Bill Romanowski, Denver Broncos
    Cornelious Bennett, Buffalo Bills
    Mike Curtis, Baltimore Colts
    Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens
    Mike Singletary, Chicago Bears
    Ted Hendricks, Oakland Raiders
    Derrick Thomas, Kansas City Chiefs
    Zach Thomas, Miami Dolphins
    Willie Lanier, Kansas City Chiefs
    Lawrence Taylor, New York Giants
    Robert Brazile, Houston Oilers
    Ray Nitschke, Green Bay Packers
    Harry Carson, New York Giants
    Rickey Jackson, New Orleans Saints
    Enjoy!

I know I play all these Spence songs on my NFL home hangouts with freinds. And put that Fn Kaepernick in the corner of the field when we play these Awesome tunes like a lil punk.

    What I love about this composition (Round Up) by *Sam Spence* are the movement and the rhythm. This song *IS* a football game. The entire song has the same rhythm-you can set a clock to it. Parts are *fast* and flowing-like a well-run offense. Other parts are *bruising* and tough-like an *unstoppable* defense. The song has slight *stops and starts* like a football game. The pauses are not bad, and the underlying *rhythm* keeps you going-you know there is more-the game is not over. Just a *perfect* composition-great and high art. Awesome.

    • @matts5247
      @matts5247 Před 8 měsíci

      What you just described is “music”
      You can set a clock to any song on planet earth (the term us musicians use for that device that works keeping time is called a metronome)
      But all the moving parts you described that move at different paces that’s just having multiple instruments
      That’s the beauty of music having all of those different instruments weaving in me out of eachother while at the same time sounding uniform.
      This is especially noticeable with orchestral music where there are many different instruments making many different contrasting sounds.
      And the changes in pace is called a time signature change which is basically using a different count for notating the passage of time per “round” (or in music lingo, a measure).
      So I find it kind of funny from my point of view that as a non musician thts when hearing a football theme song in your mind it reminds you of football. But that’s just because this is a football song. But ll the things you said would also apply to like Australian Aboriginal tribal music or a bunch of homeless people beating drum rhythms with various trash cans and buckets or even the most cringe pop song like Rebecca blacks masterpiece 😉 “Friday”

      @brycematthews9328 Před 8 měsíci +1

      ​​​​​@@matts5247Basically, the sounds of the strings, flutes, and trumpets make an uplifting sound, which is similar to what he described as the NFL offense that is trying to have a good drive. The trombones are what makes the sound of the defense, the hard nosed tough part of the game. The piece is basically a march, just like a team would try and march down the field. The snare drives the best the entire time (which is normally true for an orchestral piece) throughout the song, which is what he meant when describing what you thought was describing the tempo.
      Now I understand that maybe it wasn't the most detailed description of how to describe the song, but it is simple to understand their point. You don't have to rag on them for not being a music nerd. They simply enjoyed the song and wanted to share what their feelings were about the song.

      @@brycematthews9328 I wasn’t ragging on him.
      And what you’re saying and what he is saying is different you’re mentioning specific instruments whereas he described general elements that could apply to any type of music
      I just thought it was interesting from the perspective of a musician since most people don’t actually think about what makes music music so in this example he related it to football but all of his examples were applicable to all football
      I just thought this was interesting although I do understand what he was getting at and don’t disagree with that it’s just the way in which he described it I found amusing
      (I don’t mean that in a hateful way)

      Dunder Jones what’s your favorite song? Mine is Round up. Man this hits me right in the throat. I can remember all of us kids humming this song if you had the football playing tackle on cement in front of my school with some very mature rose bushes as one of the outer bounds. So many cuts and bruises and beatings for ripping clothes but I didn’t care and after awhile my parents just let me be. However I never took a beating on the cement and I truly think it toughen me up and by the time I started playing organized ball playing on grass was like playing on memory foam. Football is a mans man sport. I started playing at 4 with the older kids and the first thing they gonna wanna see is if you got heart? You see in the hood they didn’t care how old you was but if you playing then you better be ready because ain’t no such thing as take it easy.

The best teams, uniforms, rivalries, stadiums and announcers plus the magic of NFL Films and their music. Today there is no MTV because there is no longer any music. Today there is no NFL Films because the NFL no longer deserves it.

    When football was special ! The voice of the guy that narrated these films, and this music is something spiritual . This should definitly be placed in America time capsule.

      The guy that you must be thinking about is the late, great John Facenda, who will always be THE VOICE OF NFL FILMS.

    It don't get no better than this! This music still hypes me up like it did when I listened to it when I was a kid. Then you put the greatest nfl linebackers of all time in the montage. Oh Man, I love it. I grew up watching the NFL highlights with Brookshier and Summerall but it was John Facenda, the voice of the NFL that made the highlights so good. Thank you for this post!!!

    That opening photo of Butkus with his helmet off, the look on his face over some prone Ram player is what this league is all about or used to be anyway.
    The orchestra at 1:21 sent chills up my spine. Goodbye Mr. Steve Sabol and thanks you.
