films to go through.

Can't you watch them tomorrow?

Not if I want my

team to be ready

To play the

Titans next week.

It's starting again, Coach.

Hmm?

You're ignoring me, this family.

I am not.

Oh, please!

You have sat in here night after night,

forgetting about me

And everything

that matters to you.

Ignoring us is-Is something

that you've never been able to resist,

Like a make-Your-Own-Taco bar

or midget wrestling.

Jesus, Barb.

This is my last shot.

These films matter.

I need them to become

a better coach, to win.

I just don't see how watching

Man-On-Man porn

makes you a better coach.

Why must everyone

question my method?

Why does it have to be so hard core?

Once again, my method!

Can you knock it off, I Pod?

It's a DVD, for God's sakes.

It's open.

Hey, um...

Hi.

- I was just, um...

- I get it.

Practicing ballet will help

with your footwork in the pocket?

Exactly.

It's the footwork in the pocket.

Um...

Yeah, what's up?

I'm supposed to give you these.

Oh, okay.

The Gridiron Gangbang.

The Bad News Bare Asses.

The Longest Nards.

- His method.

- His method. Yeah.

What's that all about?

What? Oh, this?

My dad thought

it might help me

Hold onto the ball

for next game.

Does it hurt?

I'm kind of used to it.

So he's done this before?

Yeah.

Yeah.

There, that'll keep

you from letting go.

Hey, look out for the tr-

Don't worry about it.

They're baby teeth.

You'll grow new ones.

Happy 12th birthday, Lance.

There you go. Drink up.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go to a bar or something.

The thing is, it's all my fault.

I got a great arm,

but I keep dropping the ball.

I always have.

I mean, I don't know how to fix it.

See?

You have no idea

what it's like

To have a father whose

entire world is sports.

Oh, you think so?

Mom, go long. Go long.

- Close your eyes

- Right?

Don't want you to see...

That's my girl,

straight A's!

Straight A's!

Let's just say it

Where are we going?

Illegal use

of the hands.

- Have we gone too far?

- Game over.

Have we gone too far?

Wow.

I had no idea.

Have we gone too far?

I thought that I had the

craziest sports dad ever.

Me, too.

Just close your eyes

What a surprise

Till we get there

You won't know where

See you around

I hope I see you around

Just close your eyes

The way I always do

It's always a surprise

To be with you

You won't know where...

Wow.

They look just like footballs.

Oh.

Oh.

No, wait.

- I, I can't do this.

- No.

Yeah, it's okay,

I can hold onto them.

- No, really, I...

- No, just give me a chance.

It's all wrong.

I have a boyfriend.

- Yeah, I know.

- So I have to... go.

No! I...

Um, Michelle, I... I need

to tell you something.

Michelle.

Out of my way, fat ass.

You finally decide to block

something and it's my locker?

I was just going to

drop off an invitation

To my birthday party.

FYI, there's going

to be a petting zoo.

Nice.

Score one for Trotter,

Which is one more

than he had yesterday.

Ooh...

Look, man, why don't you just

pretend this whole thing

Is a football...

and just drop it?

PLAYERS:

Ooh!

Why don't you act like a barbell

and get benched?

Why don't you pretend this

whole thing is a basket

Full of groceries

and get sacked?

Hey, hey!

Why don't you act like my parents,

Go upstairs

and have some makeup sex?

- Huh?

- What?

Hey!

Knock it off!

Knock it off!

Yeah.

Now, you listen to me.

This is a team.

And the only way

we're going to win

Is when you start

acting like one.

And you can sure as hell bet

that no one is leaving

This locker room

until you understand

What being a team is all about.

Coach is right.

We got to start believing

in each other.

Like brothers.

That's the only way

we're going to win.

Please.

You'll never be my brother.

Si, es la verdad.

We're all too different.

Nothing in this world could

bring this team together.

#Just a small-Town girl #

#Living in a lonely world#

#She took a midnight

train going anywhere#

#Just a city boy#

#Born and raised

in South Detroit#

#He took the midnight train

going anywhere!#

#A singer in a smoky room#

#The smell of wine

and cheap perfume#

#For a smile,

they can share the night#

#It goes on and on

and on and on#

#Strangers waiting#

#Up and down the boulevard#

#Their shadows searching

in the night#

#Streetlight people#

#Livin' just to find emotion#

#Hiding#

#Somewhere in the night#

#Strangers waiting#

#Up and down the boulevard#

#Their shadows searching#

#In the night#

#Don't stop believin' #

#Hold on to that feeling#

#Streetlight people #

#Don't stop believin' #

# Hold on #

#Streetlight... #

And the booster club

laughed at me when I demanded

A smoke machine and laser lights

for the locker room.

All right, gather 'round, take a knee.

Got a letter here from

a little boy named Bobby Taylor.

The kid's sick, real sick.

Probably won't make it

through the night.

Goddamn it.

Bobby has one last dying wish.

That's for the opposing team

to win this game.

Now, we gonna let Bobby

get his wish?

No!

- What do we want him to do?

Die sad!

- Can't hear you.

- Die sad!

Get out there...

- Let's go, Comebacks.

- Yeah, Comebacks.

- Who are they playing?

- Uh, I don't know, the Titans?

Do you remember them?

No, I don't, 'cause

they're forgettable.

Very forgettable.

Okay, listen up.

Since our team got integrated,

I know a lot of you white

players are nervous

About losing your positions

to our faster,

More athletic,

more talented colored boys.

Well, you have nothing

to worry about,

'Cause when the Titans

take the field,

There is no black and white...

just crimson and gold,

- The colors of our uniform.

- Yes.

We family.

Starting lineup, Isaiah.

Come on.

- Williams.

- Yeah.

- Washington.

- Yeah.

Washington.

- Washington.

- Yes.

Damn. Washington.

Yeah.

- Jefferson.

- Come on, Jefferson.

Jefferson, tell your mom

I got caller I D now.

I know it's her.

- Carter.

- Come on, Carter.

Check his eligibility.

- Boyer.

- Yeah.

- LeTroy.

- Yeah! Let's do this!

Where the hell you

think you're going?

You said Troy.

I said LeTroy.

Sit your marshmallow

ass back on the bench.

White boy think he gonna

cover a receiver.

You gonna learn,

Crack is whack

and white don't cover black!

Now let's pray.

Red and white.

That's right, that's right,

that's right, that's right.

Red and white.

Here's the kickoff,

As the Comebacks

try to bounce back

From last week's

humiliating loss.

The ball is loose...

and Trotter recovers!

Yes! Yes!

- That's the way!

- Yeah, yeah! Yeah, baby.

That's the way right there.

Ready, break!

Hmm?

Mm-Hmm.

Hike!

Truman drops back.

Touchdown Comebacks.

Their first score of the season.

Hike!

Juanson picks up the loose ball.

- Touchdown!

- Whoo!

That's how we do it.

All right!

Sorry. I hugged him

a little too hard.

I like your badonkadonks,

by the way.

Let's go!

Set. Hut!

Titans on the reverse.
