Oh, you know, just, uh

Here to see what a real

football team looks like.

Are you referring to your

little cheer squad over there?

I'll let that go

because i feel so bad

For you and your team.

Consider yourselves lucky.

You don't have to do

the playoffs, right.

Okay, um...

I'm gonna finish changing.

It was good meeting you.

We should get some food,

'cause i'm really hungry.

Okay, bye, renee.

You mess with my cousin,

you're messing with me.

See you at school, urkel.

You won't have your bodyguard

To back you up this year.

Let's go.

I can take care

of myself, justin.

Yeah, i know.

I just wanted to make sure

they weren't bothering

Our customers.

You taking an order

for here or to go?

I'm not here for dinner.

I'm here for you.

You're big mack, aren't you?

I don't go by that.

Okay, justin then.

I'm the new coach

at aquinas.

You still want to

play football?

I don't got time for fooling.

The grill's a mess.

I'm about today

and tomorrow, all right?

You can be accountable

for those,

We'll leave yesterday alone.

What do you say?

For real?

For real.

Justin, i'm sticking

my neck out here.

So if i say jump...

I'm hopping like a mother.

High as i can.

Okay.

So we got an understanding,

right?

Yes, sir.

Call me coach.

Coach...

there's one thing.

I'm a package deal.

You're a what?

I'm a package deal.

His cousin, jamal lee

Does he even play football?

Yes, of course.

highly irregular.

Well, he's got

intangibles.

Plus, you said

i get three scholarships.

No, i said we would consider

three viable applicants

Who, coincidentally,

played football.

Now, look, we love

this damien taylor.

Excellent family,

strong grades.

He'll make a fine addition.

But this justin mack...

Do you know why mr. Mack didn't

play football last season?

Because juvenile detention

doesn't field a team.

Aggravated assault

is no small matter.

He made a terrible mistake,

father.

Kids do that sometimes.

And he's paid.

I promise i will have him

on a very short leash.

Come on, father, you're in

the forgiveness business, right?

Careful there.

No disrespect.

You know what i mean.

Fellas, i want to introduce

your new teammates.

This is justin mack.

That's big mack, the kid

that got thrown in jail.

Don't call me that.

Hey, listen,

Everybody's starting over,

all right?

Justin's one of us now.

Damien taylor,

wide receiver.

Jamal lee.

He plays... all over.

Get in there, fellas.

Now look at this.

Sports page.

Hoover, hoover, hoover.

Every story in here

is about hoover.

You know why?

Because they're winners.

Any mention of aquinas?

Not a word. Hmm.

So here we are,

square one.

I don't care who you are

Or what position

you think you play.

Every job on this team

is available to be won.

Now show me some game
