Damien!

Sorry about that one, coach.

You're done. Take a seat.

But, coach, i

That's not the way we do it.

Take a seat.

Rough one, coach, huh?

Ehh, don't worry,

people aren't expecting

Too much around here.

Oh, good, i'll keep that

in mind, thanks.

Your dad coached

in the nfl.

Helped the jets win

that super bowl.

That's true.

You know your football. Thanks.

Well, better luck

next time, coach.

Here you go.

Tough loss?

Oh, yeah.

maybe, uh,

Something a little stronger?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I can't. Uh...

I used to be a little

too good at that,

If you know what i mean.

I do. Believe me.

These kids, you know,

i can train 'em,

I can drill 'em,

but i can't make 'em compete.

You know,

that need to win.

Gotta have it, you know?

Then there's the xboxes,

you know, the iphones.

Everybody gets a trophy.

These kids today are soft,

you know?

I don't know what

to do with them.

Well, remember

they're still kids.

Don't be so hard

on 'em.

That's why

i'm talking to you.

Okay... we lost.

Why did we lose?

Dakota.

They outscored us.

That's funny. Sure.

Right?

No, not really.

Okay, good.

Our quarterback says

Losing isn't funny.

What do you think, jamal?

Uh, not funny.

It's not funny.

My playing days

are long past.

These games are for you,

And they're precious.

Because once you're done,

you're done forever.

So if you don't mind

losing 'em,

You should just go do

something else.

There's no talking

to this guy.

He's too intense.

"Drink your milk,

gentlemen.

"Oh, what,

you don't like 2%?

Goal posts, run 'em!"

That's all he says.

You know, uh...

you know what the problem is?

Yeah, the guy

with the nuclear whistle.

No, no, the problem is

that he's right.

Come on, man, we actually

have a chance

To do something

this season, guys.

I don'tI don't want

to be on a team

That loses again and again

and again and again.

Do you?

No.

So before we say

anything else

About this coach,

you know

Ben, why don't you just

stick to your route

And make sure it's tight.

And, damien,

i'll put it on the numbers.

You just see it through,

okay?

Dakota, you stick

to your man,

And you make sure that

nobody gets past you.

And, jamal...

Just keep them laces

facing out, buddy,

And we'll be okay.

We have a chance

this season.

I know we can do it.

That's

That's all i got to say.

Just want you to know...

I got your back.

# Oh, nostalgia

i don't need you anymore #

Michael...

pull your socks up,

Tuck your shirt in and,

damn it, pull your pants up.

You look good, you feel good,

you play good.

Yes, coach.

# It's legitimate

i'm sick of it #

# Could come and sit

# And tell me something,

anything, keep me guessing #

# I don't know why

i'm falling for you #

# I like the way you dance

i like the way you move #

# You make me wild i tell you
