Description:

The four programs on NFL 2000: A Century of Pro Football provide a lively look at football past and present. A program entitled "In Their Own Words" features some of today's stars speaking directly to the camera, commenting mostly on their emotional involvement in the game. Their statements are juxtaposed with game footage, which, in typical NFL Films style, shows them at their heroic best. "Passing the Torch," a program in which NFL Hall of Famers meet with today's outstanding players, includes some hilarious and entertaining moments. For instance, legendary defensive end Deacon Jones demonstrating to Michael Strahan of the Giants how he'd hide a metal plate in his hand and use it to "ring the bell" of opposing linemen is priceless.

The mental aspect of the game is chronicled in "Coaching 2000," an intensive look at the fanatical dedication required to be a head coach in the NFL. Coaches are seen (and boy, are they heard) whipping players into shape in training camp, spending lonely hours watching game film during the season, and even bickering with referees. The NFL as family tradition is the theme of "Generations," a program about fathers and sons including Bob and Brian Griese, Archie and Peyton Manning, executives Dan and Art Rooney of the Steelers, and a family of fans whose devotion to the Green Bay Packers has endured for more than 80 years. These programs provide a mostly reverent, but occasionally quirky and comical, look at how pro football has endured and evolved. --Robert J. McNamara
