Transcript of the speech:

0:00
championships in the meantime we’re back another day
0:09
I don’t know what to say really three minutes to the biggest battle of our
0:18
professional lives all comes down to today
0:22
either we heal as a team we’re going to crumble
0:31
inch by inch play by play
0:35
– we’re finished we’re in Hell right now gentlemen
0:40
believe me and we can stay here get the shit kicked out of us or we can fight
0:50
our way back into the light
0:53
we can climb out of hell one inch at a time
1:02
now i can’t do it for you I’m too old
1:08
I look around I see these young faces and I think I mean I made every wrong
1:16
choice
1:16
a middle-aged man can make
1:19
I
1:21
I pissed away all my money
1:24
believe it or not
1:27
I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me
1:32
and lately
1:34
I can’t even stand the face I see in America
1:41
you know when you get old in life things get taken from me that’s that’s that’s
1:47
part of life but you only learn that when you start losing stuff you find out
1:56
life’s his game inches so his football
2:01
because in either game life for football the margin for error is so small
2:07
I mean one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it one
2:13
half second too slow to fast you don’t quite catch it
2:17
the inches we need are everywhere around us
2:21
you there in every break in a game every minute every second
2:28
on this team we fight for that it
2:33
on this team we carry ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for
2:39
that inch
2:40
yeah when I friend
2:43
don’t do that
2:46
we know when we are not all those inches that’s going to make the fucking
2:51
difference between winning and losing
2:58
and I
3:01
is in any fight it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that it
3:07
and I know if I’m gonna have any life it is because I’m still willing to fight
3:14
and die for that image
3:16
that’s what living is six inches in front of your face
3:24
now i can’t make you do it good with water you gotta look at the guy next
3:29
year
3:29
look into his eyes now i think you’re going to see a guy who will go to a
3:34
ditch with you know you know you’re going to see a guy who will sacrifice
3:38
himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it you’re going to
3:45
do the same for him
3:47
that’s a team gentlemen you know here and
3:51
either we heal now as a tea or we will die as individuals
4:03
that’s football guys
4:07
yeah
4:09
that’s all it is
4:12
now

4:37
for you
