FOOTBALL LIFE, A: SEASON 2 DVD DVD

Another Fine Release From NFL Films And NFL Network
If you enjoy NFL Football and like to take a peak behind the scenes, you’ll love this DVD set. A Football Life, Season 2 follows the same pattern as season 1 with an inside look at the players, coaches, and people that make the NFL special.With profiles of former players Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen, and Ray Lewis to coaches Jimmy Johnson and Tom Coughlin, this set shows the diversity of what personalities are under the football gear or headsets.My two favorite episodes are from the early years, mainly late 60’s to early 70’s. The Immaculate Reception from the ’72 playoff game between Pittsburgh and Oakland is a classic game that people still debate to this day. The controversy whether Franco Harris caught a legally thrown ball to the protest of Raiders players and coaches, this is stuff you didn’t see on tv or hear about till years later. John Madden did not want to be interviewed for this show, which proves how much emotion is still in the air today.The Fearsome Foursome is an inside look at the front four of The Los Angeles Rams. From the early years of racial tension, to how Merlin Olsen, Rosie Grier, Lamar Lundy and Deacon Jones became close teammates and remained close after football.I hope NFL Films and NFL Network keep putting out these wonderful DVD’s for the fans who deserve nothing but the best.

Another outstanding collection
NFL Films have built on the strong foundations of the first season with another diverse collection of “football lives” ranging from coaches to owners to players past and present through to the iconic “Immaculate Reception”. Each story is stunningly told, crafted with loving care, whilst some have genuine emotional power, notably Chris Spielman and the Fearsome Foursome. I particularly enjoyed the story of Bill Belichick’s last year in Cleveland as the owner works to take the team to another city. Some episodes are less compelling than others, however, this probably comes back to personal choice. There is something worthwhile in every episode and some of the game footage is stunning, especially Barry Sanders and Marcus Allen running the ball. As I said in my review of Season 1, this is world class sporting television, highlighting the humanity of the subjects, as well as their talents. I recommend this unreservedly to anyone interested in sports and inspirational stories, as well as fans of American football.

Great Quality for a great price!
I bought this DVD and Season One for my husband as a gift for Valentine’s Day, and it came in perfect condition. We enjoy watching the show on television, and had seen most of the episodes previously, but I thought it would be nice to purchase all of the episodes so that we could catch up on any we missed, and re-watch our favorites at our leisure. The package arrived on time, which was nice, and was packaged nicely so as not to damage the items. They were listed as “New”, and arrived in plastic wrapping with no scratches or dents. Definitely worth the money.

This is a terrific series. Very well directed and very interesting
This is a terrific series. Very well directed and very interesting. My favorite episode is Cleveland 95 which they talk about how the groundwork for the Ravens winning the Super Bowl was paved by Bill Belichick. My wife loves this series and is really not even a hard core football fan.

Thanks!
