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 too 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 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 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
that’s 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 any more
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.
[6] 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?

Now, whattaya gonna do?
Hendo behind Lucas, Sterling on the other side of Adam?
I will if you will.
Is that Maxi and Pacheco I see near the white wall?
BTW "That's football, guys" isn't a simile. It's a metaphor.
Second row, immediate left, have we re-signed JAR?
Nah, that's some other
Like I wrote that. I don't even now what a simile is, I thought you misspelled smiley
I was going to give you a like for this, but then you made the ginger remark.
Like I'd imagine you had written it.
Good!
SixCrazyMinutes is a great site but caption threads have long since been its Achilles heel.
Interesting to see the front row pretty much empty. Doesn't matter what you do for a living, when you have to go back to that classroom environment no one will sit in the front row.

I presume he'll be doing this presentation again when the proper players come back
