On "Any Given Sunday"

"You know, when you get old in life, things get taken from you.  I mean, that's part of life, but you only learn that, when you start losing stuff. You find out life's this game o' inches - so is football.  Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small ...  the inches we need are everywhere around us...  On this team, we fight for that inch, on this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch, we claw with our fingernails for that inch.  Because we know, when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the f... difference between winning and losing, between living and dying ...   That's football guys.  That's all it is."        -- Al Pacino in Oliver Stone's film Any Given Sunday.
