Overview
The world of pro football is a game that is often seen but seldom heard. Indeed, the sights are sensational, but the sounds of the game are what truly reveal the intensity of the conflict. When the audio is combined with the visual of the NFL, the results reveal a world that fans have witnessed but few have ever heard or understood. A pioneer in wireless microphones and location sound for over 25 years, NFL Films has been specializing in uncovering what is being said on NFL gridirons, sidelines and in the stands of pro football. The results have been fascinating, informative, funny and highly entertaining.
