It's not just that it's an insult to the backup players, it's a built-in alibi for everyone on the team. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You just can't talk about it. You just can't think about it. You just have to keep on playing.

But when I played, nothing was more important to me. If a big game was coming up, nothing- not my father, who I love, not my family, not curing cancer, not world peace- meant more to me than the game. I'm sorry.

Here I am, moving out of this tower of morality into this den of thieves, and Joe tells me, "You're swimming with the real sharks now, Ernie. If you try to play their game, you'll be eaten alive. Just be the way you are. Vince Lombardi and Art Rooney prove that you don't have to join 'em to beat 'em. And don't ever forget, these people are just as afraid of us as we are of them. They can't handle honesty and integrity, either. That's not the game they play. Play your own game, Ernie. You can be successful playing your own game."
