Before youre better off without me before youre better off without me well, ive been losin the grip on what i used to hold i dont want you to be better off without me better off without me if i could get another chance id put it in a ziploc bag and keep it in my pocket keep it in my pocket hut keep it in my pocket tell me when i start to blow it, would you show me what i need to do before you hate me i could never live with that, so tell me hut red 38 before youre better off without me hut martel martel, youre a wimp i cant believe that. Martel goes for a giveup slide. He did look a little cautious. I got one foot in the grave, i couldve scored on that. That could be the last play of the season. In case you havent heard, the players strike became official at 4 p. M. Eastern time. I am very sad that the players demands, which center around a rise in the current salary cap, have been rejected by the owners. Now, i have told my Union Brothers to walk. Get me Jimmy Mcginty. Have him here tonight, huh . Yes, sir. [coughing] im here with washington quarterback eddie martel, and, eddie, there are a lot of angry fans out there tonight that feel the plays are being too greedy with their demands. Um, anything youd like to say to that . Yeah, dwight, look, i know 5 million a year sounds like a lot of money, but i have to pay to my agent, 5 to my lawyer. Do you have any idea what insurance costs on a ferrari, mother uh, pat, uh, back to you. Ok, that was washington running back malcolm lamont. Madden you know, its all about money, folks, but, heck, isnt it always . It usually is. This is Pat Summerall for john madden saying so long from nextel stadium. You look like hell. Wellim dyin, jimmy. Oh, ho ho ho. Come on. Youve been dyin for 20 years. [sighs] salute. Give me a cigarette. I quit. Ohh. Nobody likes a quitte jimmy. See the game today . Nah. Oh, you liar. Could you believe that slide by martel . Whats up . Take a ride with me, jimmy. Look, jimmy, im too old to screw around. Let me give it to you straight, huh . I want you back. Well, illill take care of that. Yeah, like you took care of me. Now, jimmy. You dont have anplayers. They all flew home to their castles in their private jets, remember . Well, were gonna fish the season anyway. Were gonna use replacement players. What a business. Well, we got 4 games left. We win 3, were in the playoffs. Really . Win 3 out of 4, with replacement players . Thats not too much to ask, is it . You won for me once, you can do it again. Oneil whats the matter, jimmy . Look, nobodys gonna give you a better chance than this. After that dallas mess. I was right about that. Its got nothing to do with being right. You went head to head with an 8 million quarterback. Who the hell did you think was gonna win . Im talking about a team of poor nobodies who play to win, not a bunch of bitchy millionaires. I want total control of my team. I want to be able to recruit anybody that i want, no interference. [clears throat] my word is my bond. Uh, i want it in writing. Ok, jimmy. Ok. Heres a list of people ive been keeping my eye on over the years. Theyve all played football somewhere. Not all of them in the pros, but they all have something unique to bring to the game. Were gonna take those people and try to put together a winning team. If nothing else. They should be fun to watch. Daniel bateman s. W. A. T. Team officer, awarded a purple heart for losing a kidney during the gulf war. Ha ha ha ha ha aah, yeah he was a walkon at Michigan State before he gave up football to sneak back in the service for one more tour of duty. Clifford franklin and the fastest son of a bitch ive ever seen. Hey clifford twinkie whats up, man . Whats up . Got any twinkies . But can he catch . Thats why i have you, leo. Andre and Jamal Jackson together, ese guys were the best tandem team of guards in the game. [cell phone rings] yo, jamal yo, andre yo, dre who is it .

Im back with the sentinels. I want you to quarterback them. I found the best guards available to protect you and a wide receiver even you couldnt overthrow. [sighs] im retired. Retired, huh . Well, it looks like things have gone real well for you since. I got no complaints. Its quiet here. Nobody bothers me. Well, thats the great thing about plankton, you know, uh, it pretty much keeps to itself. You know what separates the winners from the losers, kid . The score. Gettin back up on that horse after youve been kicked in the teeth. Ive watched films of your game since the sugar bowl. You should have been carrying a clipboard that first year, not trying to carry the whole team. Is that how you wanna be remembered . I dont wanna be remembered at all. [chuckles] youre still young. If you do well, who knows whatll happen once the strike ends . Im not gonna make you any promises, shane, but why dont you take a chance, huh . Think it over. I have tried so hard to forget what it felt like when someone told me i had colon cancer. We had a follow up cat scan that showed it had gone to her liver.

Hes going to on sunday. Theyre keeping it quiet, so you dont have time to prepare. How do you know that . A friend of mines a cheerleader for detroit. She tipped me off. One of my cheerleaders is friends with a girl whose sister just broke up with van ndy. She says hes been on a drinking binge ever since she left him. Yeah .

Ok, coach, its all yours. Nigel. Last sunday, i saw a team on the field we lost, not because of effort or desire, but because of lack of leadership, lack of trt. One of those issues has been resolved. But leadership Means Nothing if a team doesnt believe in each other. Players spend years together before they develop trust in one another. Im asking you to do it in a week. Not a reasonable request, but these arent reasonable times. Now, i know you all haveconcerns about this sunday. But a real man. Admits his fears. Fears lets talk about them. Fears. Fears. [clifford clears throat] um, im scared of spiders, coach. [laughing] thats not what i meant. Me, too, coach. Im afraid of spiders, too. Yeah. Spiders freak me, too, fellas. What scares us on the field . Quicksand. Hey, quicksands a scary mother, man. Thats not what he had in mind. What you talking about then, coach . Why dont you ask him . Ahem. Hey, whats up, shane . Youre playing. And you think everything is going fine, but then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. And you try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink, till you cant move. You cant breathe. Because youre in over your head. Like quicksand. All right. Thats some deep stuff, shane. Some deep stuff. Anything else youre afraid of . The shipping yard. The auto plant earl prison. The truth is, you guys have been given something that every athlete dreams of a Second Chance and youre afraid of blowing it. We all are, but now our fear is shared and we can overcome it together. Lets lose that fear this sunday and put it into san ego come on ooh [grunting] ohh summerall theres another vicious hit by the allpro hank morris. Thats his third of the game. Its just me, deadhead. Madden i tell you, he is really putting a hurt on falco, pat. Im not sure how much more of this abuse he can take. Same play. Except let morris by. Nobody touchim. What .
