You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I’d do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I’d just push 'em out of the way. Didn’t matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift.

Because that’s what I believe, I can tell you this: I don’t care if you play on the team or not. ---
