Best motivational speeches in sports

[Glenn's Take]

#3 Sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper.
#2 Herb Brooks before the Russia game in 1980. Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it.
#1 Herb Brooks before the Finland game in 1980 You lose this game you'll take it to your ####ing grave. (takes a few steps and looks back) Your ####ing grave.

Sometimes less is more.

Let me make something very clear: The PerkiSystem does not work with cheaters like Gerald Garner. OK? How can I sell an infomercial about fat kids who can't keep their piggy little snouts shut? Hmm? Who's gonna buy that, huh?

I didn't realize this was about REAL speeches and not movies. but IDC.







I also want to go on record in that Friday Night Lights was a better movie than Remember the Titans, and it's Disney feel-good cliches. Not only a better movie, but Permian would destroy The Titans on the field. Don't @ me..

You mean Herm Edwards? Dennis Green was famous for "They are what we thought they were" (Which I had to google, didn't know who that was).
