"Hut!" "OLCZYK:" "Previously on "Playmakers"..." "TAYLOR:" "Look, you want my job, you gonna have to take it." "Hey." "Your shit's already gone." "Then what you got to lose?" "TAYLOR:" "I know you're dropping me... so you can give Harris an extension... save some money, look good for Wilbanks... kiss his ass so he'll pick up your option." "Wilbanks thinks you're a situational back." "He's only saying that now... so he can low ball me come renegotiation." "There's not gonna be a renegotiation." "There are other ways to contribute... with D.H., for example." "Yeah?" "What about him?" "He can benefit from the kind... of veteran leadership you provide." "You mess up, I'll make sure you don't get a second chance." "Whatever." "Today, next week, for the rest of the year..." "You're on my ass." "I got it." "JAMES:" "Leon!" "Leon!" "McCONNELL:" "Cougar men, Hailey's whisper girls..." "I want you to say hello to Beth." "HARRIS:" "What's up, Beth?" "Hi." "Hi, Beth." "What are you doing here?" "You know, I was about to ask you the same thing." "Come on, I'm serious." "What are you doing... with McConnell?" "It's called dating." "He's, like, a serial one-nighter." "It's 2:30." "You want to go?" "This piece of ass..." "I know... ooh!" "Olcyzk!" "He don't give a shit about her." " And you?" " You damn right I do." "Then stop screwing around, man, and call her." "I have a better plan." "I want to be with you." "Sounds like a good plan." "OLCZYK:" "What kind of bullshit was that, huh?" "You want to tell us?" "You cost us the game... maybe the season." "I messed up." "GEORGE:" "He's a drug addict." "He's coming to practices loaded." "It's the first I heard of that." "I am not playing him... until he is cleaned up." "You ready for next week?" "Always." "GEORGE:" "The job's yours." "[Hip-hop music playing]" "[Indistinct chatter]" "D.H., we need to get back." "No, what we need is some more champagne." "JAMES:" "Are you listening to me, huh?" "We got practice at 7:00, and it's 4:30 right now." "Let me get a couple more bottles of Dom." "And how about some breakfast?" "Y'all want some breakfast?" "No." "No, they don't." "They don't need no breakfast, all right?" "Yeah." "Give me one second." "Let me talk to him right quick." "Yo, Buff..." "Tyree and Smalls... they cool with what I did to Cal?" "You did what you had to do after he shot your brother." "They cool with that." "Mm-hmm." "Wilbanks, too?" "For that and me being clean?" "Yeah, you his boy." "Why mess with that?" "It's being his boy that allows me to mess." "JAMES:" "You, maybe." "Not me, all right?" "Look, I'll check you later, OK?" "HARRIS:" "All right, Buff." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Hello?" "Yeah, I'm here." "GEORGE:" "You missed practice." "We're preparing for the biggest game of the year... and you decide not to show up." "You care to explain yourself?" "I overslept." "Yeah?" "Well, the next time... you're a no-show, I will suspend you." "No disrespect, but I thought the idea was to win Sunday." "No, no, no." "The idea is for everyone to follow... the same rules." "Is that clear?" "No, not really, it's not." "You know, I've looked the other way with you... probably too much." "You push me on this, and you will sit." "Coach, we're talking about a lousy practice." "No one is bigger than the team." "That's what we're talking about." "Wilbanks isn't paying me to sit." "It's not his call." "Well, you do what you got to do... but you put Wilbanks between us with the game on the line... the man is definitely choosing me."

"The infighting... the piss man... the injuries." "[Cheering]" "The highs..." "We gonna kick some ass!" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "GEORGE:" "And the lows." "JAMES:" "Do you know what that means, huh?" "GEORGE:" "Chambers!" "CHAMBERS:" "Yes, Coach?" "Playoff scenarios." "Well, uh, we're out if we lose." "Not gonna happen." "Next!" "Well, if, uh... when... when we win... we still need Jersey to beat Phoenix." "Now, the good news is that Jersey... hasn't lost a home game all year." "Point is, we've got a shot."

"Team calls about you in the off-season..." "I'm gonna tell them you got a lot left." "Just not enough left for you." "You've been a stand-up guy... the way you've dealt with Harris... your domestic situation." "I'm gonna be happy to talk you up." "There's nothing else?" "I talked to Bensinger." "He tells me there's a front-office job on the table." "What was on the table was a $150,000-a-year job... glad-handing at card show s." "I make 150,000 a half." "No, you did." "After Sunday, you won't." "I don't need your help." "TAYLOR:" "What do you mean, I need help?" "Well, these are your projected post-contract incomes." "You got three million in liquid assets." "These are your expenses... anywhere from $25,000 to $30,000 a month." "That's $360,000 a year... putting you in the red... 200,000 a year." "All right, what do you suggest I do?" "Well, go over the expenses and see where you can trim." "Ha ha ha!" "Trim 200,000." "McCONNELL:" "Hike!" "Come on!" "Yeah." "Touchdown." "[Crowd cheering]" "JAMES, VOICE-O VER:" "One of fifty guys in the league... weighed over 300 twenty years ago." "GATEWOOD:" "Got your results of your latest physical." "JAMES, VOICE-O VER:" "Today, there's more than 250." "Why?" "What is it?" "Diabetes." "Is there medicine or something?" "Yeah, of course." "Good." "That's good." "It can be controlled." "Possibly." "Your, uh, biggest risk factor is, uh... is your weight." "At your age, unless you have... an incredible genetic predisposition... to the disease, the only reason... you may be diabetic is because of your size." "Then I'll lose the weight." "Lyles won't like it, but how much are we talking?" "Man your size should weigh between 220 and 240." "That's very funny, Doc." "Listen, this is a serious illness." "It can cause nerve and vascular damage." "Circulatory problems can lead... to toes, feet, even leg amputations... not to mention it's a risk factor for heart attacks." "I lose that kind of weight, my career is over." "Over!" "I know." "No, you don't know." "I'd like to run some follow-up tests A.S.A.P., OK?" "Is that cool?" "Yeah, of course." "Thanks." "LYLES: 308." "That is totally unacceptable." "You're supposed to be 315, minimum." "320's your prime." "I'm trying to keep it on, man, but it's hard." "I was 275 three years ago." "Yeah, and so was the guy across the line... but not anymore." "Twelve pounds under your prime... a hundred bucks a pound... fine's 1,200." "What can I say?" "Eat." "BETH:" "Who is she?" "Her name's Jenna." "It was a one-night..." "Let's go." "OK, so one-night Jenna is pregnant." "Now what?" "I took a paternity test." "Meaning you've known about this for a while?" "Couple of days." "Look, I didn't want to say anything... until I had a reason." "Which now you do." "99.9%." "Yeah." "She must be thrilled." "I don't know." "I haven't even talked to her." "Trust me, she's beside herself." "Either way, I'm having a kid." "That's..." "It's a big deal." "It is." "Where does that leave us?" "I don't know." "The movers are helping me pack tomorrow." "I guess I'll cancel." "I think maybe you should." "OLCZYK, VOICE-O VER:" "You put together a life... a good life... and then it's gone." "[Whistle blow s]" "Aw, shit!" "Damn it!" "Pro left 33, countertrap on two." "Pro left 33, countertrap on two." "HARRIS, VOICE-O VER:" ""Pro left 33"... is just a fancy way of saying... they're giving you the damn ball." "MAN:" "Yeah!" "That's it!" "HARRIS, VOICE-O VER:" "No way you need practice for that." "That's it." "Come on!" "Get out there!" "MAN:" "Did the team fine you for missing practice?" "D.H., over here, please." "Did he accept your excuse?" "As a team leader, don't you think... you need to set an example?" "I know I have to be there." "I know I have to lead by example." "I know that." "I'm not pushing that aside... but we're talking about practice." "You've got a crucial game coming up." "Aren't you concerned that missing practice... will affect your preparation?" "See, now, you're right about one thing." "We have a crucial game coming up." "Why is it that we're not talking about the game?" "My problems with D.H. have been the same all year." "I love his competitiveness... and I'm proud of the way he tries in every game." "Now, that's what I'm talking about... the game." "The issues are things he has control over." "He'll have a problem with me if he doesn't take care of it." "I have no problems with Coach George." "To be honest, I don't see why he'd have a problem with me." "He has to be at practice." "He has to set an example." "We've already been over this." "Harris knows if he's willing to do these things... he'll be a Cougar for life." "Look, if I'm supposed to be so good... then why am I here dealing with this?" "I love this team, I love my teammates..." "I love this place." "If Coach George has a problem with me not being at practice... him and I will deal with it." "Harris knows the rules." "He misses another practice, he doesn't play." "No comment." "Yes, you can quote me." "Off the record... benched." "Bullshit, but you didn't hear that from me." "WILBANKS:" "The media is killing us on this." "Will Harris play?" "Won't Harris play?" "This kind of distraction is the last thing... in the world that we need." "You and I agree on that." "We need to be focusing on Philly." "Yes, exactly, which is why I'm here." "I need you to back me on this one, Gene." "One word from you, and it's done." "You're gonna shit when you see the scheme." "I am going with Harris on this." "You want to cut my balls off?" "Is that it?" "Come on, you're overreacting." "I keep things in-house." "You know that." "Me going public with this lets you know how important..." "I think this is!" "I am not benching my starting running back... on the most important game of the year." "We can win without him." "Don't insult me." "It's the truth." "I'm doing you a favor, Mike." "How's that?" "You want your contract renewed next year... you've got to take us deep into the playoffs... and Harris can help you do that." "Come on." "Show me your scheme." "We need a stop!" "Need a stop!" "They're stunting through the six hole." "Shit, they're fast." "You got to adjust and pick that up." "TAYLOR, VOICE-O VER:" "You thought you'd have time... to make the transition... to downsize gracefully." "Then you see how fast it happens... and that scares the shit out of you." "SAMANTHA:" "Of course I remember your demo reel." "We spent a lot of time working on it." "You were gonna show it to your news director... and then everything happened with Robin and me... and I never followed up." "Bill loved it." "Simple as that?" "Uh-huh." "He kept asking when you were... going to come in to audition." "Then you never said anything... and with what was going on..." "I didn't feel comfortable pushing you on it." " Well, I'd like to talk to him." " I'll call him right now." "All right." "TAYLOR, VOICE-O VER:" "You're in this place... where everything's a struggle..." "TAYLOR:" "Buffalo pulled off a fourth-quarter rally... against New Orleans, winning 31-27..." "TAYLOR, VOICE-O VER:" "On the job, at home." "You're 30 years old and going through a midlife crisis... and suddenly you get a break." "Something finally comes easy." "With a well-earned victory over Miami." "When can you start?" "[Whistle blows]" "[Crowd cheering]" "All right, big man." "MAN:" "Let's go!" "DIFFERENTMAN:" "Get it up, baby!" "It'd be nice... you getting your head into the game." "OLCZYK, VOICE-O VER:" "You try and focus... but it's hard." "She's gonna have the kid?" "Hey, man, not so loud." "Guard dog!" "What are you doing?" "Trust me on this." "What's up?" "O needs Carney's number." "Oh, bummer." "Who the hell is Carney?" "Hey, Buff, you got Carney's number?" "O's in need." "This is great." "Why don't we just announce it on the Jumbotron... during the game?" "You took the paternity test?" "Yeah." "It's mine." "I feel you, man." "I'm two for four myself." "A woman's right to choose." "What kind of bullshit is that?" "The only thing they choose is your bank account." "GUARD DOG:" "If they want to have the kid... and you don't, that's fine." "They should have to pay for it." "Then we'll see how much they want the kid." "JAMES:" "I think I got Carney's number in my locker." "Either that, or Meat has it." "Hey, wait, stop." "Who is Carney?" "Carney's a fixer." "McCONNELL:" "Specializes in paternity suits." "He knows all the angles." "He'll get you the best deal." "Deal?" "Yeah, he know s the going rate." "If it's my kid, I'm gonna be involved." "You talked about this with Beth, didn't you?" "Of course I did." "GUARD DOG:" "Whoa, whoa, wait." "The allegation, right?" "Eric, you talked about the allegation, right?" "Not the test, right?" "Oh, shit." "All right, all right." "Here's what you're gonna do." "You're gonna buy her some nice jewelry..." "I'm talking Kobe nice." "McCONNELL:" "Then you're gonna tell her... it was a false positive." "You tell her you retook the paternity test... and the kid isn't yours." "JAMES:" "Ha!" "This guy." "But it is mine." "Do yourself a favor." "Call Carney." "McCONNELL:" "He'll handle all the arrangements." "Yeah." "Listen to you guys talking... about arrangements and deals." "Do you know how messed up that is, huh?" "Do you have any idea?" "I'm having a child, not an arrangement." "McCONNELL:" "Double right scat... 99 seam on three." "Double right scat, 99 seam on three." "Keep 'em off me, fellas." "Ready, break!" "What's the point of this?" "That's my old chart... when I was lifting my weight at 275." "Not doing much more now." "We've been over this." "You need to be 320." "But if you look at..." "I'm not having this conversation." "Gatew ood says I got diabetes." "He ran the test twice." "Came back both times positive." "He says I got to lose weight." "You should take his advice very seriously." "I do." "That's why I'm trying... to get you to see that we have other options." "Look around." "You think any of these guys are trying to get smaller?" "Aah!" "Players are exploding these days... and the bigger they get, the more health problems... they get... arthritis, joint damage... high cholesterol, high blood pressure... diabetes." "It sucks, but it's part of the game." "Gatew ood showed me a study." "It says linemen have a 52% greater risk... than guys who don't play of dying of heart disease." "And compared to other players... we're still almost four times as likely to die that way." " So?" " So?" "I'm scared, man." "I understand." "If I was you, I'd be scared, too." "If taking care of your health is a priority..." "I've got no problem with that... but you can't do that and play football." "You've got to choose one or the other." " What about my..." " No, it's one or the other." "I'm gonna take the weight off." "I can respect that." "You'll still be respecting me... after I prove to you I'm still a player!" "Maybe start a trend or something... be all light and lively and shit!" "[Crowd cheering]" "OLCZYK:" "You're Carney, the fixer guy?" "I prefer manager." "I manage situations." "First, we see if we can get the right price... to make the situation disappear." "OK." "We're not gonna do that." "You'll be surprised what kind of decision... people will make when the price is right." "I'm not asking her to get rid of the kid." "I don't believe in that." "Option two... we take issue with the test." "They said it's accurate to 3/1,000 of a percent." "I didn't say it's a winner." "It might get us some leverage, especially if the girl is... not pristine." "You know what I'm saying." "No, I don't know what you're saying." "It's important we get in front of a judge... who doesn't take particularly kindly... to a bitch who gravy-trains on a guy for eighteen years... that she just banged in a bar one time." "If we can do that..." "I think we'll cut your costs in half." "You know, I'm still trying to get my head... around the fact of me having a kid." "Totally understood." "The kid?" "The kid is gonna come faster than you think." "That's why it's important that you deal now." "Now, I don't know what your cash flow situation is... but I can get you monthly payments... or I can get you annual payments." "A guy's got a family... sometimes he prefers a complete buyout." "That's what I did for Leon." "You did this for Leon?" "That's who said we should talk." "[Crowd cheering]" "Look, man." "The shit you're thinking about... stop thinking about it." "Team needs you." "Now, me, I don't have that problem." "MAN:" "You've been battling Leon all year." "No battle." "Maybe a skirmish or two... but the war ended a long time ago." "WOMAN:" "Would you say it's been a distraction to the team?" "Not at all." "This year is what you would call a passing of the torch... old man getting out of the way... and letting the young buck roll." "[Reporters all talking at once]" "What's up, fellas?" "Could you have your nose further up their ass?" "Hey, is it my fault that I'm the only one... around here who speaks the truth?" "Truth?" "Truth is, you just went public with some shit... that's supposed to stay in-house." "Here you go." "Look, you're part of a team." "You got a problem, you don't take it outside." "Whatever, man." "Look, I don't care what you think about me... and I know Coach feels the same way... but that shit is not for publication." "This is where you challenge me, right?" "The forty, power lift, some shit that show s... that you've still got something left... in that old-ass tank of yours... that you ain't a never-was?" "Name your game, pops." "You tired-ass little bitch..." "McCONNELL:" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Come on, guys!" "Oh, shit!" "Hey, get off!" "Let's go!" "GUARD DOG:" "Come on!" "Hold it!" "Hold it." "McCONNELL:" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, come on!" "Cool it!" "McCONNELL:" "Go on now!" "Go on!" "Go on!" "Hey, come on!" "Get the hell out of here!" "Go on!" "Show's over!" "Go on!" "[Crowd cheering]" "[Crowd cheering]" "MAN:" "Down!" "Set!" "Hut!" "Hut!" "[Whistle blows]" "Hell, yeah!" "Whoo-hoo!" "TAYLOR:" "Come on!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Oh, man!" "That's what I'm talking about." "Get you some of that truth." "Yeah!" "OLCZYK:" "You have a 12-year-old daughter?" "Her name is Lauren." "She lives in Kansas City." "Now, I don't understand." "All you ever mentioned was Gregory and Kyle." "You never once mentioned having another kid." "For six years, I didn't even know I had one." "The only way I found out was through a cousin of hers." "Does she even know you?" "Does she come to visit?" "She even know who you are?" "She's got a good life, all right?" "Her stepfather's really involved... and I've made sure she's taken care of financially." "Robin doesn't know, does she?" "Man, when I found out, I was about to get married... and there was no way I was messing that up." "You were eighteen." "She... of course she wouldn't understand." "Man, I'm not saying that what I did was right... and if you don't want Carney's help... don't take it, but for me, honestly... it was for the best." "How can you say that, you of all people?" "I see how you are with Gregory and Kyle... how involved you are." "You know what that means to them... having you in their lives." "Yes, I do." "But here I am... trying to sort my way through my shit... and the best father I know... tells me he gives his daughter money... when what she really needs from him is time." "Trips left, 63 Charlie on two." "Trips left, 63 Charlie on two." "Handle this guy." "JAMES:" "This is bullshit, and you know it!" "We already talked about this." "You're not even giving me a chance." "Gatew ood, Coach, we all support you." "Philly's got a light line." "Average is 285." "You made your priorities heard." "We're just responding." "By giving a rook more reps in practice?" "Look, let me make this perfectly clear, all right?" "The team is not pressuring you to keep up the weight." "What is that, some cover-your-ass disclaimer?" "Is that what that is?" "Not pressuring me?" "A medical problem was identified." "I'm just encouraging you to act on it, that's all." "You're taking a way my job." "McCONNELL:" "Hut!" "All right, baby!" "TAYLOR:" "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "You're disappointed in me?" "You're a team leader." "I expected more." "But D.H. was ripping the coach." "He was ripping the team." "And it was wrong, and it was being handled... and then you go, and you punch him out... right on camera." "There's no handling that." "Listen, I have dedicated myself to this team... carried the load when needed and stepped back when asked... given you an honest day's work for an honest day's pay... and in return, I have been lied to and disrespected." "Oh... oh, yeah." "You blamed Coach for keeping me on the bench... when you know it was your call... stopped a trade that could have jump-started my career... pressured me to get my wife to lie about me pushing her... so it would save the team some bad publicity." "You have treated me like shit... and the best part about moving on... is to be able to look you in the eye... and tell you what an asshole you are." "I hear you got a job on Channel 12." "Happy for you." "TAYLOR, VOICE-O VER:" "You said your piece to Wilbanks... because you could." "A new career gives you that freedom... makes it easier to let it all go." "TAYLOR:" "He's firing me?" "I haven't even started working yet." "SAMANTHA:" "No, but you're all over our broadcast... punching Harris in the mouth." "What were you thinking?" "Nothing." "I was..." "Look, look, teammates fight all the time." "Why is it suddenly such a shock to everyone?" "Come on, after what happened with Robin?" "Oh, that's what this is about, me pushing Robin?" "I thought I dealt with that." "That was over." "That's what I told Bill... when I said you wanted to audition." "Oh, he asked you about it?" "Of course he did." "It's something that everyone knows about you." "It's a concern." "It shouldn't be." "But it is." "I'm sorry." "Oh!" "Yeah!" "Oh!" "All right!" "We can win this game!" "Yeah, if I get the ball enough, we will." "Yeah, baby!" "Yeah!" "GEORGE:" "We have three days left to prepare for Philly." "Time I could have spent the last day or two..." "I didn't." "That needs to change." "A car and driver will be provided... to take you to and pick you up... from any and all practices or film sessions." "If you give that driver any trouble whatsoever... he's been instructed to call me." "Now, if I receive such a call..." "I will arrange for a police escort." "I have a lot of friends on the force... and they all want to see us win on Sunday." "If that means dragging your ass to practice... not a problem." "Any questions?" "No." "Good." "Now let's get to work." "So you know, I spoke to Wilbanks." "He made his loyalties real clear." "I'm trying to help you, Demetrius." "I'm sorry you can't see that." "TAYLOR, VOICE-O VER:" "You want to make it stop... the time running out on the only life you've ever known... but you can't." "All you can do is stand there and watch yourself disappear." "For the record... the guy will never be the back you were." "TAYLOR:" "Mr. Wilbanks, you busy?" "Oh, no, not at all, Leon." "Come on in." "I heard about the Channel 12 job." "Tough break." "Yeah, um, that's actually why I'm here." "Is that front office position still open?" "Set... hut!" "HARRIS:" "Oh!" "Ohh!" "Ohh!" "Knee!" "OK, D.H., stay down." "Let's have a look." "Aah!" " Yeah, yeah, easy." " Ah, shit." "All right, let's get him to x-ray." "[Crowd cheering]" "Get warm." "OLCZYK, VOICE-O VER:" "You always thought you'd have... a wife, 2.2 kids, and a dog." "[Door buzzer]" "Uh, I thought we should talk, you know... the way we're gonna see this through." "I got us a pizza." "Pepperoni OK?" "I'm a vegetarian, but I can take them off." "I should have asked." "Sorry." "Oh, don't worry." "It's fine." "To be honest with you, I was kind of freaked... when you first told me... but now I'm seeing ways we both can get involved." "Us not being a couple..." "I've hired a lawyer." "Why?" "To work things out." "I don't understand." "Isn't that what we're doing?" "You know, I shouldn't have come." "W-w-wait." "Just talk to me." "I'm sorry." "Jenna, you have to talk to me." "I'm the father." "Please." "I'm moving away." "My client has family in San Luis Obispo." "She feels it's important for her to be with them now." "When the child is born..." "Mr. Olczyk will be petitioning for custody." "Ms. Hoffman is not opposed... to an age-appropriate visitation schedule." "I'm not a visitor." "But a significant custodial timeshare... will not be practical for many years." "That's not true." "Tell them that's not true." "OLCZYK, VOICE-O VER:" "And that's when you realize it's true... that your kid can be taken away from you." "You can dicker about the payments you're gonna make... monthly, annually, lump sum... but as a man, your relationship with your child... can be reduced to an arrangement..." "We understand that Mr. Olczyk... just signed a four-year, $12-million contract." "OLCZYK, VOICE-O VER:" "And that's when you shut down... because it's too damn painful not to." "BETH:" "And there's nothing you can do?" "In a few years, maybe." "Not now." "That's the way it is if you're a guy." "I am so sorry." "Go on, open it." "Yeah?" "They're still yours... if you want them." "Eric... you lost something important in your life... and you need something else to hold on to." "That's not what I'm doing." "Maybe, but that's how it feels." "You got all this sadness and anger... and you're hoping that I can help balance that out." "Which I get." "I do." "It's just..." "I don't want to be in a relationship like that." "It's over." "[Crowd cheering]" "OLCZYK:" "Stay down!" "One, two..." "Yeah!" "Let's go, man!" "Don't move." "[Crowd cheering]" "All right, baby." "You worked for five years for this!" "Let's go." "Let's do it!" "Come on!" "Go on, baby!" "McCONNELL:" "Blue 77!" "Blue 77!" "Excuse me, Coach." "Yeah, what's up?" "I want to show you something." "LYLES: 314." "A couple, three days, I'll make the weight." "McCONNELL:" "Hut!" "Hut!" "McCONNELL:" "Hut!" "What's it show?" "McCONNELL:" "Red 47!" "Hut!" "Hut!" "McCONNELL:" "Hut!" "MAN:" "Hands!" "Speed!" "Speed!" "Speed!" "Hut!" "Time-out!" "Time!" "[Whistle blows]" "Coach, coach." "It's just a bruise." "I shot him up." "He's good to go." "Where do you think you're going?" "You heard the doc." "I'm set." "Yeah, I heard him." "Now sit." "Guess we're riding your ass now." "McCONNELL:" "Let's finish this now, guys." "All right, "I" right, weak 70, outside." ""I" right, weak 70, outside on two." "Stick him in the ground." "Ready!" "Break!" "McCONNELL:" "Let's have a set." "Down!" "540." "5-4-0." "Set..." "Hut!" "[Whistle blows]" "[Fireworks exploding]" "[All cheering]" "Enjoy your five minutes of fame." "That's all you gonna get." "Right on, baby!" "[Cheering subsides]" "Chambers!" "Yeah, Coach?" "An update." "CHAMBERS:" "With 3:12 left in the fourth quarter..." "Phoenix is losing 21-10." "[All cheering]" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Hold on!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Gentlemen!" "Gentlemen, the game is not over yet... but it's pretty damn close." "[All cheering]" "MAN:" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "Hold up!" "Hold up!" "Hold up!" "Hold up!" "Six weeks ago... we were written off... done, finished." "The only people who believed in us... are the people in this room... and now you are the hottest team in the league... and no one wants a piece of you!" "MAN:" "Hold up!" "Hold up!" "Come on now!" "Game ball!" "Game ball!" "Game ball!" "You all deserve this." "Olczyk caused the key turnover." "McConnell... 26 of 38 for 256." "Guard dog... actually had a block." "Taylor." "Get out there, son." "Come on." "83 all-purpose yards in less than a quarter... and we needed every damn one of them." "That was a big-time performance, my friend." "Leon, you da man." "JAMES:" "You good to go?" "What's up?" "Yeah, man." "Just a bruise." "I'm good." "That's good, man, real good... because we're gonna need you in the playoffs." "You know that, right?" "Yeah." "Yo, I got you, baby." "I got you!" "Phil!" "Phoenix just scored." "They tried for two, but they failed." "The score is 21-16 now." "How much time is left?" "Under a minute." "Aw, hell, Phil, you had me worried." "Now Jersey can just run out the clock." "They would if they had the ball... which they don't." "Phoenix recovered an onside kick." "Turn it up." "OLCZYK:" "Luther Hawkins." "I hate that guy." "He's gonna run." "Oh, no!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Hit that fucking guy!" "Come on!" "Get him!" "[All shouting]" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!"
