if you keep talking to me like i'm a five- year-old, i'm going to hurt you.
what the fuck was that?!
bullshit he slipped! he could have scored!
you god damn wimp! you're fired! get out! get out! get out!
get me jimmy mcginty. get him here. tonight.
i'm dying, jimmy.
gimme a butt.
no.
you pussy. i want you to come back as head coach. i fired that asshole tilden today.
we're gonna finish the season anyway. all of us owners decided. we're gonna use replacement players.
us, greedy?! what
no team owner in their right mind is gonna give back those t.v. revenues.
all we promised fox was twenty-two guys with a pulse every sunday. but think about it, jimmy. we got a great opportunity here! we got a chance to put a team on the field that plays the game just for the love of it. like we used to play it.
jimmy, i'm really dying. the doctor says i'll be gone by superbowl sunday. help me bring a winner back to d.c. you did it for me once before. you can do it again.
come on. wouldn't it be fun? a bunch of poor nobodies who play to win instead of a bunch of bitchy millionaires? you can put it together, jimmy. player's love you. they always have.
tell me you're gonna do it.
absolutely.
sure, jimmy, sure.
deal.
shane 'footsteps' falco? this is what you're going to build an offense around?
christ, jimmy, i ask you to build me a team based on balls and the first player i see is footsteps falco?!
and he's got the happiest feet i've ever seen!
what about a safety? we got two a days starting tomorrow and a game in five days! and we still don't have a safety?!
i called a friend of mine who just happens to be the governor of maryland.
don't worry about it.
turn it off. this is going to kill me.
i'll give you 50 thousand dollars for a bite of that steak!
now that's a hit!
where are we gonna keep him?
how did you pull that off?
take this cow piss out of here.
let's keep 'em all. the hell with the regulars.
the hell i do! i'm dying! let 'em sue me.
god damn 'em! then you got to beat dallas. the whole country will be watching. all those millionaires down there deserve to have their noses rubbed in it.
you can pull it off. you proved that winning doesn't have to look pretty. these boys are hungry for it, jimmy.
there's nothin' more dangerous in all of sports than a hungry team. i remember back in '47, we were playing nebraska in the mud.
okay, jimmy, okay. but you beat dallas for me, and then i'll go gently into that night.
