Three minutes,
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either we heal as a team
or we are going to crumble.

Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me.
and... we can stay here and get the shit kicked out of us
or we can fight our way back 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 faces
and I think...
I mean,
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh....
I pissed away all my money, believe it or not.
I chased off anyone 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 life,
things 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 GAME
LIFE OR FOOTBALL
THE MARGIN FOR ERROR IS SO SMALL.

I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
THE INCHES WE NEED ARE EVERYWHERE AROUND US.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause 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'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because 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 guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and 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?


- Tony D'Amato

Shaped but shapeless but yet it has a cause
Done without meaning but yet it means large
Nothing is something because we think about it
It could be something or nothing…then nothing
Particles of what,the question has to be asked
Oh no wheres it gone but what is gone
Treasures are different each to their own
Don’t lose your goals or you lose yourself
And if you lose yourself do you lose your treasure
For make it your own as that’s what you value
Scratch and wonder.
