I upvoted this just for the modesty card over her ladybits . Made me laugh . <| sep |> Al Pachino Any Given Sundayedit It isn ' t in a movie , I also love Coach Flowers ' I am a Champion speech . Text is Pachino . I don ' t know what to say really . Three minutesto the biggest battle of our professional livesall comes down to today . Eitherwe healas a teamor we are going to crumble . Inch by inchplay by playtill we ' re finished . We are in hell right now , gentlemenbelieve meandwe can stay hereand get the shit kicked out of usorwe can fight our wayback into the light . We can climb out of hell . One inch , at a time . Now I can ' t do it for you . I ' m too old . I look around and I see these young facesand I thinkI meanI made every wrong choice a middle age man could make . I uh . I pissed away all my moneybelieve it or not . I chased offanyone who has ever loved me . And lately , I can ' t even stand the face I see in the mirror . You know when you get old in lifethings get taken from you . That ' s , that ' s part of life . But , you only learn that when you start losing stuff . You find out that life is just a game of inches . So is football . Because in either gamelife or footballthe margin for error is so small . I meanone half step too late or to earlyyou don ' t quite make it . One half second too slow or too fastand you don ' t quite catch it . The inches we need are everywhere around us . They are in ever break of the gameevery minute , every second . On this team , we fight for that inchOn this team , we tear ourselves , and everyone around usto pieces for that inch . We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch . Cause we knowwhen we add up all those inchesthat ' s going to make the fucking differencebetween WINNING and LOSINGbetween LIVING and DYING . I ' ll tell you thisin any fightit is the guy who is willing to diewho is going to win that inch . And I knowif I am going to have any life anymoreit is because , I am still willing to fight , and die for that inchbecause that is what LIVING is . The six inches in front of your face . Now I can ' t make you do it . You gotta look at the guy next to you . Look into his eyes . Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you . You are going to see a guywho will sacrifice himself for this teambecause he knows when it comes down to it , you are gonna do the same thing for him . That ' s a team , gentlemenand either we heal now , as a team , or we will die as individuals . That ' s football guys . That ' s all it is . Now , whattaya gonna do ?
