And its well-deserved.
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission today is placing a state historical Marker at 230 North 13th Street in Philadelphia recognizing the location as the "Birthplace of NFL Films."
"The filmmaking arm of the National Football League brought the NFL into the forefront of popularity of American sports," the commission says. And the commission is right.
Recall it was NFL Films that dubbed the Cowboys "America's Team."
Here's Jerry Jones' take: " It is most appropriate that this site is being recognized as a historic landmark, because, since its inception, NFL Films has preserved and honored the history of the rich history and legacy of the National Football League. For nearly half a decade the Sabol family has dedicated their passion toward the artful documentation of our sport. In a city that has played such a significant role in the history of our country, this is a worthy recognition for an American institution."
By the way, NFL Films is now housed in Mount Laurel, N.J.
