Transcripts
FORTUNE: Tell Jake to make sure the tarp's ready.
We'll check with the weather service by 5, and we'll make a decision then.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
What you doing here? Don't you have practice?
- Not anymore. I quit. - Oh.
Well, since when are you the quitting kind?
(sighs) I don't know.
I just don't see the point anymore.
So you didn't make the dress list.
There are greater tragedies in the world.
I wanted to run out of that tunnel for my dad.
- To prove to everyone that I worked-- - Prove what?
- That I was somebody. - Oh, you are so full of crap.
You're 5 feet nothing. A hundred and nothing.
And you've got hardly a speck of athletic ability.
And you hung in with the best college football team
in the land for two years!
And you're also gonna walk out of here
with a degree from the University of Notre Dame.
In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothing
to nobody except yourself.
And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now...
...it ain't gonna never happen.
Now go on back.
Sorry I never got you to see your first game in here.
(sighs)
Hell, I've seen too many games in this stadium.
- I thought you said you never saw a game. - I've never seen a game from the stands.
You were a player?
I rode the bench for two years.
Thought I wasn't being played because of my color.
I got filled up with a lot of attitude, so I quit.
Still not a week goes by, I don't regret it.
And I guarantee a week won't go by in your life
you won't regret walking out, letting them get the best of you.
Now, you hear me clear enough?
