And you do it like this!
RE:
I dunno wad to say really..
3 minutes, to the biggest battle of our professional lives.
All comes down to today
Either, we yield, as a team, or we gonna crumble
Inch by inch, play by play. Till we're finish
We're in hell right now. Gentleman
Believe me.
And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us
Or we can fight our way back, into the light
We can climb outta hell
1 inch at a time.
Now I can't do it for ya', I'm too old.
I look around I see this young faces.
And I tink, i mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man can make.
I pissed away all my money, believe it or not.
I chased off anyone hus ever loved me.
And lately I can't stand the face I see…in the mirror.
you know, when u get old in life, things get taken from ya
Dats part of life
But u onli learn dat when u start losing stuff.
ya find out life, is as the game edges.
So is football.
Becoz in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small
I mean..1/2 a step too late or too early and ya dun quite make it.
1/2 second to slow, to fast, ya dun quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are at every break of the game, every minute every second
On this team we fight for that inch.
On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch
We claw with our fingernails for that inch
Becoz we know when we add up all those inches, thats going to make the fucking difference between winning and losing.
Between living and dying.
I tell u this in any fight.. it's the guy hus willing to die hus going to win dat inch.
And I know if im going have any life any more, it becoz I'm stilling willing to fight and die for that inch.
Becoz, dats wad living is.
The 6 inches in front of ur face.
Now I can't make u do it.
U gotta at the guy next to ya, look into his eyes.
Now I tink ur going to see a guy who will go dat inch wif ya
Ur going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team becoz when it comes down to it, ur going to do the same for him.
Dats a team, gentleman
And either we yield, now as a team or we will die…as individuals.
Dats football, guys.
Dat all it is.
Now wad r u going to do?
