"Pro football is a mirror of early America, reflecting toughness, courage, and self-denial." LOVE IT.
DAMMIT! WHAT HAPPENED?
@@jonmolina948 It sill does but many fossils today are childish and think everything today is bad. They can’t roll with the changes.
@Jon Strickland boomers..
Its so far from that now. Over paid pussies with all the new rules.
And gues what pro football is now? a mirror if modern day America, reflecting snowflakes, soft liberals, and being a complete joke
This should be shown weekly in every middle and high school 👍
If Mr John Facenda doesn't get you ready nothing will...
Agreed!
Couldn't have said it any better! Brilliant! Pure brilliance!
I love John Facenda!
Nothing has ever been said that is more true.
Back in the day John Facenda would do football highlights with the nfl films music playing in the background. As a kid, I use to watch the highlights, then go outside and play football on the street block with a bunch of friends. That's how I became a football fan. I wish we had the old nfl films music back again with narrators like him. He seemed to use words that would literally put you on the field and make you feel as though you were right there at the game. There aren't any announcers like that anymore.
I agree. You can thank the late Steve Sabol for writing most of those narrations. He had a flair for the dramatic. He left us way too soon.
@@24sweetroller7 :
John Facenda was before Steve Sabol. Sabol family did the filming while Sir John Facenda did the writing and narration
Totally agree! No voice and no narration like the legend John Facenda!
Couldn't wait til NFL highlights!
I grew up the same way Casey. I think thousands of kids in the late sixties/early seventies did as well.

Par Tillman-He made the Bay Area and his country PROUD. RIP BUDDY ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸 49ers fan
God bless Mr.Facenda & all his people. We"ve enjoyed his voice thru the years May he R.I.P in Jesus name Amen
Totally Agree!
AMEN Brother!
amen
Amen
Agree completely - I especially love his Wake Up The Echoes - watch it EVERY September - just before the first game!
What a voice. The legendary Voice Of Doom of my childhood in the 60s. Nothing like it.
57 YEAR OLD MALE WATCHING FOOTBALL SINCE I WAS 6 FACENDA MAKES ME CRY EVERY FUCKIN TIME I TURN THIS ON AT THE START OF THE SESON
Equally as brilliant as John Facenda was Sam Spence and his music behind the voice. The 2 made an unmatched duo. R.I.P. Sam Spence 2/6/16.
+muckerwood So true and very sad to hear of his passing. I heard nothing about it and shame on the NFL for not issuing some kind of statement, unless I missed it? Can't believe nothing was mentioned during the broadcast yesterday, especially since he was a San Francisco native.
I was not aware he passed.. I agree with you 100%
Nor I and I totally agree. The music of our game is so indelible in my mind that I cannot see the game, even today, without it.
Waterboard Kaepernick at Gitmo with this clip 24/7. Go America and Football!
me too, only new the voice of God Facenda.
John Facenda's voice is just incredible.
Now that I listen to him on this, I recognize from all kinds of other documentary films from the '60s and '70s.
What makes NFL films very enjoyable? The narrations by John Facenda and Sam Spence's music.
Back when football was FOOTBALL! You heard them say go out there and tattoo somebody...man that's great...HTTR
Now all the players are covered in tattoos.
“It could be one man rising above the obscurity of the grim and no glory duty of special teams.” -Summary of my high school football career.
Though it may have been a short, minuscule moment in the grand scheme of things, I still take pride in what I did.
So you rose above? Awesome!
Same! I’m a football announcer for a reason lol
Goosebumps.
Pat Tilman one of America's ultimate warriors...R.I.P.
Our own government and it's greatest ally did 9-11.
They really did him dirty. He was killed by his own unit because he was gonna expose what we were really doing over there
@@adam2009ization evidence please
@@nala3038 google is your friend
@@donalddonald348 Google is so damn biased it isn’t funny.
glad that i got to enjoy the 70's and 80's NFL
Same here .
Imagine if they played this in madden opening cinematic
Madden has been garbage since madden 12
@@trashman7906 All that reflects the sad commentary that displaced football with xbox and turned a great sport into a tech match.
Too late it is a 989 sports Game Day classic.
When i was kid it didn't matter what i was doing. When i heard this voice i stopped in my tracks and watched
This is an example of high art.. The narration, writing, music, photography and of course the players. Ed and Steve Sabol, Sam Spence and John Facenda aka the voice of God should have been extremely proud of their work. This is a landmark in American artistic expression. Thanks for posting.
+TheGlass50 Thanks. I have always loved the old NFL films footage. I bought the CD years ago and had fun finding some of my favorite players pictures and syncing them with this song. Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow a Best Ever Comment nominee. Well said 50. What the first name of the first song to this clip, I here Battle Cry second.
smbake - How much and where?
Sorry it's taken so long to respond..The song on the CD, which I bought on Amazon in '98, is titled the Power and the Glory. That is also the name of the CD.
TheGlass50 one of the best posts ever. The Autumn Wind CD Box set is essential listening for every fan of NFL films.
John Facenda, the greatest voice over and narrator of all time. As a kid and teenager I dreamed of and even as an old man today still dream of being a pro football player whose highlight film is being narrated by John Facenda to the NFL Films music of Sam Spence.
NFL Films and John Facenda did the music of a Journey documentary called "Frontiers and Beyond". It was about their 1983 US Tour.
On one hand: Domestic abuse, sexual assault, ludicrous rule changes, steroids, cover up of head trauma, greedy owners exploiting cities, too many commercials, national anthem protests...
On the other hand: The Power And The Glory
Thank you for reminding me why I fell in love with watching professional football despite the NFL's endless efforts to make me hate it.
That sums it up well.
I miss what it used to be.
"Professional football in America is a special game. A unique game. Played nowhere else on Earth, it is a rare game. The men who play it, make it so."
John Facenda, you truly were "the Voice of God."
God damn.
It doesn't get better than this.
You have to love John Facenda, the voice of God!
Should be the first thing played on every pre game show at the beginning of the season...never gets old...
Man, I wish NFL Films would make all those shows from the 60's and 70's available to watch online. Loved watching these back in the day.
CZcams
How GREAT is it to see PAT TILLMAN as the last freeze-frame!!!
i once heard it said that John Facendas' voice was so compelling, while narrating the highlight films for the NFL, that he could 'make a grocery list sound like Armageddon'.
If Baseball is America's Past Time... FOOTBALL is its' PASSION!!!!
So true .
63 YEARS OLD BACK AGIAN FOR ANOTHER SEASON 2024 TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY FACE
Not gonna lie, seeing Pat Tillman at the end hit me a little differently. 😢 Much love and respect, always for Mr. Tillman. 🙏🏼🏈🇺🇸
John Facenda. A beautiful and such a true assessment. "Go face them again be savage again".
someone once said that John Facenda could make a laundry list sound epic. The guy was epic
Brought me to tears.
Me too brother me too
That's awesome. Glad you liked it.
Hearing this makes me miss the hard hits we just don't get quite as much now a days ❤
Damn this is absolute beauty
RIP Jim Brown!! This one’s for you ❤❤❤
Before it was ruined by too many commercials, reviews and freaky halftime shows.
and soft rules pampering fake QBs like Brady
@@sniper5880 and, only the "chosen" qb's get the calls
@@sniper5880
You can say that again! I use to watch NFL Ball religiously every Sunday until the 21st century came and then my viewing dropped dramatically.
Free agency may have ruined football. Hard to have rivalries when teams have almost completely different players every 3-4 years.
Also indoor stadiums. If Green Bay ever goes indoors, you know football is 100% dead.
Pat Tillman at the end....classy touch.
TheCoreContingency friendly fire
NFL Films has such fantastic music.
THIS is how I remember football, a game I loved until my body could no longer take the pounding. I never played on the professional or college levels, but I played for several teams and loved every minute of it.
Ed and Steve Sabol, Sam Spence, and THEE John Facenda, were an absolutely perfect team for the last great era of artistic expression of this game. They set the standard which will never be surpassed.
Beautiful and awe inspiring.
Thank you for posting.
This is the NFL at its best.
Goodell is Fn it up.
NFL in its Golden Age
Thanks for this vid - John Facenda, Ed and Steve Sabol of NFL Films and all those great classic themes - they were all great
They were. R.I.P.
You can't go wrong with Sam Spence music and John Facenda the voice.
It's like two gods making great NFL show!
You 've got that right,Andrew-boy,I do miss those days!!
willow11st Me too at least I get to see my Patriots win the Super Bowl again.
I was pleased to see that outcome occur,too-even though I'm an Ohioan,I'm a big Tom Brady fan!! When I was a kid,I think NFL films was almost a bigger kick than the games because of the Sabols Sam Spence,and.of course,John Facenda!!
willow11st I from Boston it's all about sports in this city. Football is number one for me.
John Facenda's voice could make craigslist ads sound like the march to Bunker Hill.
+Dan Martino He could have read the dictionary and made it sound badass.
.
Ask me for my demo sometime.
RIP Ed Sabol. Ed is up there with Steve and John, makin' highlight reels for the Big Guy. And I doubt he would ever stoop to saying "deflate-gate."
I feel like I lost a friend in Steve Sabol. Watching NFL Films growing up, it was tough watching him pass.
I will admit, I don't watch football ( well, I have seen the last few Superbowl's ) But I'd watch it all day long with Sam's music & John Facenda's voice narrating it! :)
Love the music mix and THE VOICE GOD John Facenda. Awesome now and forever....
The smell of sweet dew on the blades of green grass, the feeling of cool in the Autumn air. Football season awaits us in a few months. Be patient everyone.
Ladies and gentlemen, John Facenda.
Janette McClelland F-in' A. He was a legend. The music rocks also.
Nice compilation of images from the men who we cheered on every Sunday afternoon...and some Monday nights, too. Well done!
Football is America. Harshness and brutality tempered with beauty and transcendence. Teamwork and hard work meet to accomplish great things. Football is life.
If this doesn't like your fire, then the pilot light is out!
This should apply to any fan that watches this! The best voice ever, behind The Price is Right's Johnny Olson!
@Jerry11606
The song with the lone trumpets is called "A Chilling Championship", the fast paced one that follows is "Up She Rises"
For everyone who raves of John Facenda and Sam Spence, and any fan my age should, don't forget that most of the words were written by Steve Sabol. Steve was the one was writing about the "Autumn Wind being a Raider," and of games that were fiercely fought, but frightfully flawed. Papa Ed started the business, but Steve gave it the soul that we all felt. I'm done, you may continue.
Been looking for this thank you!
Fn Goodell should mandatory have ALL stadiums play this sound clip after the National Anthem for 2016.
Jon Fecenda. Sam spence on the music. Magic!
I agree
@DrinkSomeSodaBitch It's called The Power and the Glory by Sam Spence, who did the music for NFL Films, and of course that's John Facenda doing the narrating.
Today it is now a 3 1/2 hour carnival (4 hrs for the Super Bowl)
Thank you for this video!
How many packs of unfiltered camels did John Francenda have to smoke to get that perfect voice. God Bless him!
RIP JIM BROWN & FRANCO HARRIS!
Thank you for your post. You gave great information.
I heard this last night at my high school an hour before the football game started. That's why I came to this video.
I wonder if they play this at other high schools across the country.
LETS GET IT ON 2018 SEASON 50 YEARS NEVER GETS OLD
The intro song is "Drunken Sailor." Lol.
This is how I wake up in the morning! Blasting Trumpets!
GOD I LOVE THIS!!! NFL nothing better baby!
This is a little did you know about John Facinda. On the movie Boston strangler. There is a little bit in that movie where you'll hear John Facinda's voice. As a news broadcaster.
Rip Sam spence😿🙏🏾⚰️
Ramblin Man From Gramblin is straight fire
I had the original commercial on tape because they use to play it on the NFL package and, god dammit, I can't find it anywhere
I know it's driving me crazy. The original video with all the highlights with this sound was frigging amazing. They used to play it on nfl network years ago before the season started and i can't find it for the life of me.
YoshimizRobots:
Your brother probably walked off with it
Mr john facenda im italian you make us proud thank you paisano rip you were the best, sam spence rip thank you.rip ed sabol.
I didn’t leave football….football left me.
This has become my football season is Apon us tradition, it’s July, but I just can’t help it
The Voice of God.
- John Facenda
*I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!*
@xptwillie Well done! A couple of the others: Dennis Brown, Johnny Olszewski and Bob Kalsu who after his rookie year for the Bills was killed in 'Nam..
Cool Video! Thanks
@mont1le Thanks for the comment. It was fun putting together and I had to include Tillman and Kalsu in their somehow.
it's the game it"s about the game that matters thank god football is back see u at the game!
@Jerry11606
A few years ago I bought a cd thru Amazon called The Power and the Glory: The Original Music & Voices of NFL Films.....This song is track #2...The Power and the Glory. I'd recommend buying the whole cd, it's pretty good.
Who else is ready for the 2016 football season?
And FWIW, Ed Sabol, the creator of NFL Films, was inducted in the Football Hall of Fame this year.
You smell that?! That's the smell of football season!!! #Football16
beautiful
@smbake I was running out of room, otherwise I had the jersey numbers, too. And the "regulators, mount up!" is an obvious homage to the film "Young Guns" with Emelio Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland and LDP. And props for putting in Pat Tillman and Slingin' Sammy Baugh. Where's Norm van Brocklin or Alan Ameche? ;-)
@Jerry11606 no problem and thanks. It was fun putting together.
Greatest sport ever
@smbake Thanks for the help! AWesome video by the way!
LOVE THIS
This is football cocaine. I need to snort all of it
Tis the season.
Kevin J. Stoll In my opinion the best football was played from the 60's to maybe the mid 80's. The players weren't super rich and were more humble.
In fact my 9th grade shop teacher was a former offensive guard for the Detroit Lions. He was an all pro at one time. He never got rich and turned to teaching after he retired.
THERE IS A VIDEO FOR THIS!!! WHERE IS IT!!!?? I used to own the VHS tape I cant find it anywhere! Made by NFL films
Thanks man!
Is like Rugby but with expensive gear !
There used to be a video to go along with this same audio on CZcams.. I can't find it anywhere someone please help!!
Been trying to find the Good Old 1960's CBS NFL Intro music ?
I don’t like this video…..I LOVE THIS VIDEO !!!!! NFL Films brought us the voice of John Facenda and the music of Sam Spence and helped to make pro football what it is today.
John Facenda.....the voice of GOD.
