1
00:03:19,581 --> 00:03:21,617
- Go, Green!
- Boo!
2
00:03:29,133 --> 00:03:32,648
Come on, Eagles! You're killing me.
Show some pride out there.
3
00:03:32,886 --> 00:03:35,081
Some pride?
What are you talking about?
4
00:03:35,264 --> 00:03:36,697
These guys lost their pride
two months ago.
5
00:03:36,849 --> 00:03:37,998
What're you doing? Over!
6
00:03:38,142 --> 00:03:40,781
- They're still our boys, Tommy.
- Not this year, pally.
7
00:03:40,978 --> 00:03:43,412
Not in this town. Not in this town!
8
00:03:43,605 --> 00:03:45,561
- Stupid...
- You stink!
9
00:03:46,358 --> 00:03:48,269
Come on! Come on! Come on!
10
00:03:48,444 --> 00:03:49,513
Ball down.
11
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:52,854
Hey, way to pack it in, Eagles!
You're quitters!
12
00:03:53,073 --> 00:03:56,827
31-0 to a team
should've been worse than us!
13
00:03:57,995 --> 00:03:59,587
What a bunch of losers!
14
00:04:01,081 --> 00:04:03,549
Hey! Hey!
Where do you think you's going, huh?
15
00:04:03,751 --> 00:04:05,184
Game's not over yet.
16
00:04:05,794 --> 00:04:07,830
Get back down to your seats, there.
17
00:04:11,258 --> 00:04:12,452
Believe this?
18
00:04:14,011 --> 00:04:15,046
McCormack.
19
00:04:15,179 --> 00:04:20,128
You know what NFL stands for?
"Not for long," pal. "Not for long."
20
00:04:20,809 --> 00:04:22,800
See you on the unemployment line.
21
00:04:22,978 --> 00:04:27,335
Hey, coach! Thanks for the three wins!
You're a bum!
22
00:04:27,941 --> 00:04:29,260
A reminder, Eagles fans,
23
00:04:29,401 --> 00:04:31,756
to place your orders
for next year's season tickets.
24
00:04:31,945 --> 00:04:33,219
Come on!
25
00:04:34,531 --> 00:04:36,328
Maybe next year, yeah?
26
00:04:37,534 --> 00:04:38,603
Yeah.
27
00:04:39,286 --> 00:04:41,516
Maybe we'll all be millionaires.
28
00:04:45,209 --> 00:04:48,360
Way to finish, guys.
Waited a whole season for this.
29
00:04:51,048 --> 00:04:53,608
- The worst team in the league!
- Losers!
30
00:04:55,552 --> 00:04:56,621
Go! Go!
31
00:04:56,762 --> 00:04:58,354
- Watch it. Watch out.
- Go! Go! Go!
32
00:04:58,514 --> 00:04:59,549
Watch out!
33
00:05:02,935 --> 00:05:06,007
- Jeez, Pete.
- Hey, ref, you better make that call.
34
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:07,424
You all right?
35
00:05:11,652 --> 00:05:12,721
Hey!
36
00:05:12,861 --> 00:05:14,055
That's enough!
37
00:05:14,196 --> 00:05:15,265
- I said, come on!
- Come on.
38
00:05:15,406 --> 00:05:16,680
- Pete!
- Yeah!
39
00:05:18,617 --> 00:05:19,970
- Come on.
- You!
40
00:05:21,662 --> 00:05:22,697
I'm gonna kill that guy.
41
00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:25,060
Why don't you try
getting by him first, Pete?
42
00:05:25,249 --> 00:05:26,568
Why don't you shut your mouth?
43
00:05:26,708 --> 00:05:28,221
- Huddle up!
- Come on!
44
00:05:28,377 --> 00:05:30,493
- Hey, get in the huddle.
- Look who decided to show.
45
00:05:30,671 --> 00:05:32,309
Let's go. Huddle up! Huddle up!
46
00:05:32,464 --> 00:05:34,216
- Vincent!
- Yo, wait a minute.
47
00:05:34,383 --> 00:05:37,102
No way! Not him.
You don't show on time, you don't play!
48
00:05:37,302 --> 00:05:38,417
What's the matter, cuz?
49
00:05:38,554 --> 00:05:40,226
Afraid he's gonna
run all over you again?
50
00:05:40,389 --> 00:05:42,823
Would you shut up?
Let's play some football.
51
00:05:44,393 --> 00:05:45,587
What's up?
52
00:05:45,853 --> 00:05:48,208
- About time you got here.
- Sorry, guys.
53
00:05:49,064 --> 00:05:52,818
All right, let's do the one where Vince
kind of runs by everybody on one.
54
00:05:53,068 --> 00:05:54,137
- Ready?
- Here we go.
55
00:05:54,278 --> 00:05:55,393
Break!
56
00:05:56,238 --> 00:05:57,353
- Ready?
- Break!
57
00:05:57,489 --> 00:06:00,561
- Wanna tell me why you're late?
- My car's in a bad mood.
58
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:06,343
- Watch the middle.
- Set!
59
00:06:06,832 --> 00:06:08,584
- Hut!
- Go! Go!
60
00:06:08,751 --> 00:06:10,264
Here we go! Here we go!
61
00:06:11,837 --> 00:06:13,714
- Here we go.
- Get him! Get him!
62
00:06:15,924 --> 00:06:17,596
Good hit. Yeah! Good hit.
63
00:06:18,093 --> 00:06:19,765
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
64
00:06:22,389 --> 00:06:23,788
Set! Hut!
65
00:06:28,854 --> 00:06:31,812
Fumble, fumble, fumble!
I got it! I got it! Yeah!
66
00:06:32,649 --> 00:06:34,082
- Break!
- Break!
67
00:06:35,069 --> 00:06:38,061
- I got one! I got one! I got one!
- You ain't got nothing.
68
00:06:44,078 --> 00:06:45,830
Set! Hut!
69
00:06:47,623 --> 00:06:50,012
Look out, Matt! Come on, look out!
70
00:07:02,638 --> 00:07:03,707
Hut!
71
00:07:08,477 --> 00:07:09,956
- Move it!
- Move! Move!
72
00:07:10,896 --> 00:07:12,170
Ball! Ball! Ball!
73
00:07:12,314 --> 00:07:13,713
I got it! I got it!
74
00:07:22,366 --> 00:07:24,197
- You all right?
- I'm all right.
75
00:07:24,410 --> 00:07:26,321
- Nice save, Vince.
- Thanks, man.
76
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:27,655
Game over!
77
00:07:29,665 --> 00:07:31,178
Oh, man, my car!
78
00:07:31,792 --> 00:07:34,181
- Oh, yeah, huh?
- Pete!
79
00:07:34,378 --> 00:07:36,130
Right there, huh?
Remember that? Come on!
80
00:07:36,296 --> 00:07:38,810
- Pete, come on, cut it out.
- Did you see that?
81
00:07:39,007 --> 00:07:40,235
- We won.
- Come on, let's go.
82
00:07:40,384 --> 00:07:41,612
- You got money?
- Yeah.
83
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,398
You better have money.
84
00:07:44,722 --> 00:07:45,757
Yeah!
85
00:07:49,643 --> 00:07:51,759
You look cold. Come a little closer.
86
00:08:05,075 --> 00:08:06,110
Hey.
87
00:08:12,207 --> 00:08:14,402
Come on, it was only for a few plays.
88
00:08:14,752 --> 00:08:16,185
That's great, Vince.
89
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,059
We're out of work
and you're playing games.
90
00:08:19,423 --> 00:08:21,857
It's not like you couldn't use the time
for anything else, right?
91
00:08:22,051 --> 00:08:23,848
- Look, we're not out of work.
- Please.
92
00:08:24,011 --> 00:08:26,730
The school's giving you, what,
two days a week substitute teaching?
93
00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:28,249
You tend bar at night.
94
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:31,223
What do you call that?
Gainfully employed?
95
00:08:31,977 --> 00:08:33,649
What do you want me to do?
96
00:08:38,817 --> 00:08:42,127
Look, things are gonna get better,
all right? I promise.
97
00:08:42,362 --> 00:08:45,399
When, Vince?
When are things gonna get better?
98
00:09:08,931 --> 00:09:10,603
- Hi, Mr Papale.
- Hi.
99
00:09:13,435 --> 00:09:16,188
So, the assignment was first act,
Romeo and Juliet.
100
00:09:16,647 --> 00:09:18,683
Oh, Mr Papale. May I help you?
101
00:09:19,775 --> 00:09:22,847
I'm sorry. Must be a mistake.
I thought this was my class.
102
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:26,213
Hey, Mr Papale.
103
00:09:27,699 --> 00:09:28,814
Hey, guys.
104
00:09:28,951 --> 00:09:31,943
Mr Papale.
Can I have a word with you, please?
105
00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:35,090
We were trying to call you.
106
00:09:35,249 --> 00:09:37,763
Well, there was a mix-up with the bill
and they shut my phone off,
107
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,632
but it should be back on today.
108
00:09:39,795 --> 00:09:43,583
We were calling you to let you know
that you won't be needed this summer.
109
00:09:43,924 --> 00:09:46,757
The district is forcing us
to make more cutbacks.
110
00:09:47,261 --> 00:09:50,378
And we have a lot of teachers
with more seniority than you.
111
00:09:51,974 --> 00:09:53,248
I'm sorry.
112
00:09:53,892 --> 00:09:55,723
I know it's a hell of a deal.
113
00:10:07,906 --> 00:10:09,862
Well, it's no secret to anybody here
114
00:10:10,033 --> 00:10:12,627
that it's been a rough stretch
for the Eagles organisation.
115
00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:15,023
The last few seasons
haven't lived up to my expectations
116
00:10:15,205 --> 00:10:18,481
or to the expectations of the many fans
of this great team.
117
00:10:18,709 --> 00:10:21,177
But, gentlemen,
today, that is going to change.
118
00:10:21,378 --> 00:10:23,687
The man who's gonna bring us back
recently led UCLA
119
00:10:23,881 --> 00:10:26,076
to a Rose Bowl win over Ohio State.
120
00:10:26,258 --> 00:10:28,169
Please welcome Mr Dick Vermeil.
121
00:10:28,844 --> 00:10:30,960
Thank you, Mr Tose. Thank you.
122
00:10:34,058 --> 00:10:36,572
Well, I'd like to start by saying
what a tremendous honour it is
123
00:10:36,769 --> 00:10:38,646
to coach this particular football team...
124
00:10:38,812 --> 00:10:41,326
- Think he brought his surfboard?
- ... and to coach in this city.
125
00:10:41,523 --> 00:10:43,673
- Surfboard, Beach Boy records.
- The Philadelphia Eagles
126
00:10:43,859 --> 00:10:48,455
have a very long and proud tradition
of winning and excellence.
127
00:10:49,114 --> 00:10:51,833
It's a tradition that's been lost
in recent years.
128
00:10:52,493 --> 00:10:54,484
It's a tradition
that I'm committed to restoring.
129
00:10:54,661 --> 00:10:56,458
Man should be committed
for taking this job.
130
00:10:59,917 --> 00:11:01,111
Hey, Mick, you mean to tell me
131
00:11:01,251 --> 00:11:02,650
you didn't see that guy
clothesline Pete?
132
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:05,309
- I didn't see nothing.
- I saw it from the car.
133
00:11:05,506 --> 00:11:08,066
Hey, that team had you guys beat
by a mile on that play.
134
00:11:08,258 --> 00:11:10,169
Oh, yeah? Then why aren't you
drinking over there?
135
00:11:10,344 --> 00:11:12,494
- Go to their bar, traitor.
- You want that on your tab?
136
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,874
Hey, put a leash on that monkey.
137
00:11:15,349 --> 00:11:17,021
Vince, why does he get to run a tab,
I don't?
138
00:11:17,184 --> 00:11:19,493
Because he's got a job, that's why.
139
00:11:20,979 --> 00:11:24,255
That's great, Max. Yeah,
that's a great way to treat a friend.
140
00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:28,609
Hey, Max. Any chance I could pick up
a few more hours?
141
00:11:28,946 --> 00:11:30,299
- Sure. Why?
- First up, let's bring in
142
00:11:30,447 --> 00:11:32,483
Wade Chambers
of Channel 11 Sports.
143
00:11:32,658 --> 00:11:35,013
Well, the Eagles took their time
on this one. But for the first time...
144
00:11:35,202 --> 00:11:37,955
I'm giving my cousin from New York
a few hours starting Thursday.
145
00:11:38,163 --> 00:11:40,518
- You can have the rest if you want.
- Thanks. Appreciate it.
146
00:11:40,707 --> 00:11:44,461
Owner Leonard Tose announced
the hiring of UCLA 's Dick Vermeil
147
00:11:44,712 --> 00:11:46,270
- as the Eagles' head coach.
- Hey, Grumpy.
148
00:11:46,422 --> 00:11:47,980
You wanna turn up the tube?
149
00:11:48,132 --> 00:11:51,602
... wasted no time before making
this surprising announcement.
150
00:11:51,844 --> 00:11:55,120
Before I take your questions,
I'd like to make a quick announcement.
151
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:59,465
This coming Saturday,
at Veterans Stadium at 9:00 a.m.,
152
00:11:59,727 --> 00:12:02,287
the Philadelphia Eagles
will hold open tryouts.
153
00:12:02,813 --> 00:12:04,565
- We're open to all comers.
- It's open.
154
00:12:04,732 --> 00:12:06,370
- This guy's out of his mind.
- So we can go ahead
155
00:12:06,525 --> 00:12:09,039
- and start with the questions now.
- There you have it, Eagle fans.
156
00:12:09,236 --> 00:12:11,796
So strap on your helmets.
Throw on those shoulder pads.
157
00:12:11,989 --> 00:12:14,298
Here's your chance to play in the NFL.
158
00:12:14,491 --> 00:12:16,846
I guess four wins
wasn't so bad after all.
159
00:12:17,536 --> 00:12:21,006
- Yo, Vince. What do you say?
- What?
160
00:12:21,248 --> 00:12:23,557
You're faster
than half those guys anyway.
161
00:12:24,168 --> 00:12:25,999
Hey, come on. Give it a shot.
162
00:12:26,670 --> 00:12:27,944
Yeah, Vince.
163
00:12:28,172 --> 00:12:29,651
Papale at the 40.
164
00:12:29,798 --> 00:12:32,073
At the 30. The 20.
165
00:12:32,259 --> 00:12:33,692
He's at the 10.
166
00:12:50,694 --> 00:12:51,809
Sharon!
167
00:12:59,119 --> 00:13:00,268
Sharon!
168
00:13:57,845 --> 00:14:00,962
- Hey.
- Hey. Sixteen-hour first day.
169
00:14:01,181 --> 00:14:04,298
- You're not going soft on me, are you?
- Look who's talking.
170
00:14:05,602 --> 00:14:07,081
Well, I found out today
171
00:14:07,229 --> 00:14:10,301
that there aren't any sprinkler systems
on the East Coast.
172
00:14:10,524 --> 00:14:13,914
Only took me a half an hour
to make that little discovery.
173
00:14:18,782 --> 00:14:20,534
You happen to see
that press conference today?
174
00:14:20,701 --> 00:14:22,931
Yeah. You looked good.
175
00:14:24,538 --> 00:14:27,177
The tryout come off
sounding a little desperate?
176
00:14:29,376 --> 00:14:30,855
Maybe a little.
177
00:14:34,548 --> 00:14:36,778
You don't seriously think
you're gonna find someone, do you?
178
00:14:36,967 --> 00:14:39,083
I'm just trying to get people excited,
that's all.
179
00:14:47,603 --> 00:14:50,595
So, Max just told me.
She took everything?
180
00:14:50,814 --> 00:14:53,772
- And she wants a divorce?
- Look, it's nothing, all right?
181
00:14:53,984 --> 00:14:55,895
Just forget about it, Tommy.
182
00:14:58,655 --> 00:15:02,170
Gin and tonic, light on the tonic,
and a Red neat for you, yeah?
183
00:15:02,409 --> 00:15:04,320
- That's right.
- Here you go.
184
00:15:04,495 --> 00:15:06,770
Sweetheart, if you could cook Italian,
I'd marry you.
185
00:15:06,955 --> 00:15:09,867
- Lf she had no legs, you'd marry her.
- Get out of here.
186
00:15:12,294 --> 00:15:14,762
- Sorry I'm late, Max.
- Hey, Vince, we're covered.
187
00:15:14,963 --> 00:15:17,682
- I know, I know, Max. I'm sorry.
- Hey, no problem.
188
00:15:18,008 --> 00:15:19,805
Anything you need, all right?
189
00:15:20,302 --> 00:15:23,374
Vince Papale,
meet my cousin, Janet Cantwell.
190
00:15:24,348 --> 00:15:27,499
- Hey.
- Nice to meet you.
191
00:15:28,352 --> 00:15:30,149
And just so everyone knows,
192
00:15:30,771 --> 00:15:32,250
we have a minor character flaw
193
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:33,797
that we're all gonna
have to deal with here.
194
00:15:33,941 --> 00:15:36,375
- I don't see many flaws, Max.
- Watch it, Tommy.
195
00:15:36,568 --> 00:15:37,637
Hubba-hubba.
196
00:15:38,153 --> 00:15:40,587
My cousin, who is from New York,
197
00:15:40,781 --> 00:15:44,899
who was born in New York,
is a New York Giants fan.
198
00:15:45,911 --> 00:15:47,310
- Go, Giants.
- You gotta be kidding me.
199
00:15:47,454 --> 00:15:48,933
- A passionate New York Giants fan.
- Come on.
200
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:50,116
Max, she's a Giant fan?
201
00:15:50,249 --> 00:15:52,001
- Maxie, come on.
- I know, I know.
202
00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:53,236
62-10.
203
00:15:53,377 --> 00:15:56,210
Giants humiliate the Eagles.
What was that? Three years ago?
204
00:15:56,422 --> 00:15:59,971
And we actually get our players
from something called the NFL draft.
205
00:16:00,968 --> 00:16:02,640
- Yeah!
- What kind of talk is that?
206
00:16:02,803 --> 00:16:03,838
See, Vince?
207
00:16:03,971 --> 00:16:06,405
That's another reason
why you gotta try out this weekend.
208
00:16:06,598 --> 00:16:08,748
- Nobody's trying out, Tommy, okay?
- Why not?
209
00:16:08,934 --> 00:16:11,050
You clean up at all our games.
210
00:16:11,228 --> 00:16:13,458
- He's 30 years old, for one thing.
- Oh, shut your mouth.
211
00:16:13,647 --> 00:16:15,638
Yeah, there's a little difference
between Mean Joe Greene
212
00:16:15,816 --> 00:16:17,215
and Bobby from the Tanker, you think?
213
00:16:17,359 --> 00:16:18,474
Hey, hey, screw Mean Joe.
214
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:20,168
We don't even play Pittsburgh
this year.
215
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,594
- Petey's right.
- Yeah, why not?
216
00:16:21,739 --> 00:16:23,855
Your old lady ain't gonna stop you.
217
00:16:24,575 --> 00:16:26,645
What? What'd you say, Johnny?
218
00:16:26,827 --> 00:16:27,942
- What?
- What do you mean, "What"?
219
00:16:28,078 --> 00:16:30,148
You playing stupid now?
You got a problem with me, Johnny?
220
00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:31,399
What'd I do?
221
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:33,735
Why don't you get out of here, Johnny?
222
00:16:34,334 --> 00:16:35,767
Come on, right now.
223
00:16:44,303 --> 00:16:46,339
Hey, forget it. He's drunk.
224
00:16:47,097 --> 00:16:49,531
He just needs to find some work,
that's all.
225
00:17:18,253 --> 00:17:20,050
You know, you and your thing.
226
00:17:21,048 --> 00:17:23,482
Johnny losing it
'cause he can't pay a bill.
227
00:17:26,637 --> 00:17:27,911
Now, Pete...
228
00:17:28,639 --> 00:17:32,552
Pete ain't been right since his brother
Andrew came back dead from the war.
229
00:17:32,851 --> 00:17:35,160
What about you, Tommy?
You hanging in okay?
230
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:36,582
Yeah, same old.
231
00:17:37,481 --> 00:17:40,041
Bunch of guys
talking about going on a strike.
232
00:17:40,776 --> 00:17:42,095
I ain't worried.
233
00:17:49,618 --> 00:17:52,337
You know I'm serious
about this tryout, right?
234
00:17:55,290 --> 00:17:57,440
Hey. I have, like, eight beers in me,
235
00:17:58,419 --> 00:18:00,569
but I'm serious, okay?
236
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:05,755
Tommy, I mean,
I played one year of high school ball.
237
00:18:05,926 --> 00:18:06,961
It ain't gonna happen.
238
00:18:07,094 --> 00:18:09,654
There's no one I know that is
a bigger Eagle fan than you, okay?
239
00:18:09,847 --> 00:18:10,916
Nobody.
240
00:18:11,348 --> 00:18:13,782
All right, we're talking
about Veterans Stadium here.
241
00:18:13,976 --> 00:18:16,968
Where Eagles dare.
I mean, that is sacred ground, pally.
242
00:18:19,356 --> 00:18:21,824
Even if you're down there
for one hour, man,
243
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:24,501
you're down there.
244
00:18:30,617 --> 00:18:32,972
Old Maxie's ready
to call it a night, huh?
245
00:18:34,663 --> 00:18:36,062
Last call, pally.
246
00:18:37,541 --> 00:18:39,020
Saddest music I know.
247
00:19:10,074 --> 00:19:12,872
- Hi, Pop.
- Vince.
248
00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:17,808
Come on in.
249
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:28,228
I never did like her.
250
00:19:29,593 --> 00:19:31,390
I never told you that, did I?
251
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:37,131
Guess maybe I should've
seen it coming, huh?
252
00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:38,378
What does she think?
253
00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,158
You're the only guy out there
trying to make ends meet?
254
00:19:42,856 --> 00:19:45,370
All those years,
your mother being sick...
255
00:19:49,113 --> 00:19:50,910
Well, that was nobody's fault.
256
00:19:54,034 --> 00:19:55,353
But this...
257
00:19:58,956 --> 00:20:01,311
Pop, I never had to ask you this before,
258
00:20:03,127 --> 00:20:05,482
but I'm gonna have trouble
making rent.
259
00:20:08,006 --> 00:20:09,041
Yeah.
260
00:20:11,093 --> 00:20:13,891
- How much you need?
- Hundred bucks.
261
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:16,906
- I can pay you back as soon as I...
- No, no, forget it.
262
00:20:17,099 --> 00:20:19,329
There've been times
I've needed help, too.
263
00:20:19,518 --> 00:20:20,997
This is family.
264
00:20:21,812 --> 00:20:23,564
We've had some rough times,
you and me,
265
00:20:23,731 --> 00:20:25,608
but we stick on this one, okay?
266
00:20:28,193 --> 00:20:29,421
Thanks.
267
00:20:33,657 --> 00:20:36,091
So, what do you make
of this new coach?
268
00:20:38,704 --> 00:20:40,740
Beat Woody Hayes in the Rose Bowl.
269
00:20:41,540 --> 00:20:43,178
Saying something.
270
00:20:45,627 --> 00:20:48,664
You know, I heard from Maxie
that the guys are riding you pretty hard
271
00:20:48,881 --> 00:20:50,599
about going to this tryout.
272
00:20:51,675 --> 00:20:52,994
Yeah, well...
273
00:20:54,636 --> 00:20:56,228
You know, Vince,
274
00:20:56,889 --> 00:20:59,608
it might not be the worst thing
to let this one go.
275
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:04,278
A man can only take so much failure.
276
00:21:15,949 --> 00:21:16,984
Hello, Philly fans.
277
00:21:17,117 --> 00:21:21,349
I'm here today with literally hundreds
of Eagle hopefuls waiting for their shot
278
00:21:21,622 --> 00:21:25,331
at coach Dick Vermeil's
much-publicised open tryout.
279
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:27,192
Come on.
280
00:21:27,336 --> 00:21:28,928
Now, what brings you
out here today, sir?
281
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:31,363
- Gonna be an Eagle, baby.
- Yeah!
282
00:21:34,259 --> 00:21:36,295
What makes you think
you have a chance out here?
283
00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:40,145
Well, Wade,
two years' high school football, varsity.
284
00:21:40,391 --> 00:21:41,460
Yeah!
285
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,910
I'm 28 years old. Look at me.
I'm in the best shape of my life!
286
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,016
Now, is there anything else
you'd like to say?
287
00:21:48,190 --> 00:21:49,384
Absolutely.
288
00:21:49,525 --> 00:21:55,202
Fight, Eagles, fight
On the road to victory
289
00:21:55,531 --> 00:21:57,567
Fight, Eagles, fight
290
00:21:57,741 --> 00:21:59,174
What more can I say?
291
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,633
That's it. Looking for
some Philadelphia Eagles here.
292
00:22:02,830 --> 00:22:04,548
Lift your legs up. Okay.
293
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:09,959
Go! Go! Come on. Move it. Move it.
294
00:22:13,340 --> 00:22:15,217
Come on. Hustle, hustle, hustle.
295
00:22:15,384 --> 00:22:16,783
Let's go. Four more.
296
00:22:17,553 --> 00:22:19,384
Come on. Hit it!
297
00:22:29,523 --> 00:22:30,797
All right. Beautiful. Let's do it.
298
00:22:30,941 --> 00:22:32,613
You know what?
299
00:22:32,901 --> 00:22:34,653
Forty-yard dash.
Move it. Move it. Let's go.
300
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:36,219
Come on. Let's go, fellas. Do it.
301
00:22:36,363 --> 00:22:37,432
Come on, next group.
302
00:22:37,573 --> 00:22:39,404
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
303
00:22:40,033 --> 00:22:42,706
Move it. Move it.
Don't talk to him. Keep moving.
304
00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:45,429
Go, go, go, go!
305
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:48,295
No, no, this is... This is too stupid.
306
00:22:48,459 --> 00:22:50,609
This is more stupid than I'm used to.
307
00:22:53,589 --> 00:22:56,945
Here we go. Next. Next.
Come on, get those knees up.
308
00:23:00,554 --> 00:23:02,226
- Thanks. Is this the updated list?
- Dick.
309
00:23:02,389 --> 00:23:04,380
- Yes, sir.
- Dick, this is brilliant.
310
00:23:04,558 --> 00:23:06,230
We haven't had
this many cameras here in 10 years.
311
00:23:06,393 --> 00:23:07,872
I want you to meet
three of your best players.
312
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:09,612
We got Dean German.
Come here, guys. Come here.
313
00:23:09,772 --> 00:23:11,125
T.J. Banks. Ronnie Sampson.
314
00:23:11,273 --> 00:23:13,104
Say hello to Dick Vermeil,
your new coach.
315
00:23:13,275 --> 00:23:15,743
- How you doing, coach?
- Gentlemen.
316
00:23:15,944 --> 00:23:18,412
Mr Tose, Channel 8.
They want five minutes.
317
00:23:19,990 --> 00:23:21,309
Get over there. Run a sprint.
318
00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:23,441
Will somebody run a sprint
around here?
319
00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:25,098
You're a joke. You gotta be kidding me.
320
00:23:25,245 --> 00:23:28,282
So, how's it looking, coach?
Seeing anything yet?
321
00:23:29,083 --> 00:23:31,119
You're not worried, are you, T.J.?
322
00:23:31,585 --> 00:23:32,813
Should I be?
323
00:23:33,253 --> 00:23:36,165
Well, last year we had one
of the worst defences in the league.
324
00:23:36,382 --> 00:23:37,497
Offence wasn't much better.
325
00:23:37,633 --> 00:23:39,624
I'd say everybody needs to worry.
326
00:23:40,719 --> 00:23:42,152
See you boys at camp.
327
00:23:44,890 --> 00:23:46,403
We'll be there, coach.
328
00:23:47,184 --> 00:23:48,663
Longer than you will.
329
00:24:10,958 --> 00:24:12,676
Go, go, go, go.
330
00:24:15,713 --> 00:24:16,907
5.9.
331
00:24:17,256 --> 00:24:18,291
Let's go!
332
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:19,459
- Gents.
- Coach.
333
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:20,626
Hey.
334
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,590
- Let's go.
- Come on, guys. Come on.
335
00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:24,035
6.4?
336
00:24:24,179 --> 00:24:26,056
Let's go, gentlemen. Find another gear.
337
00:24:26,223 --> 00:24:27,338
Go!
338
00:24:28,392 --> 00:24:31,145
They do know
they're supposed to be running, right?
339
00:24:31,395 --> 00:24:33,067
5.7. Next.
340
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:35,342
You see?
341
00:24:35,482 --> 00:24:37,757
- How we doing?
- Get your head up. Let's go.
342
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:40,059
I've seen glaciers move faster.
343
00:25:01,425 --> 00:25:02,744
Throw him a few.
344
00:25:32,206 --> 00:25:34,242
You gotta be kidding me
with these numbers, Dick.
345
00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:35,735
Can I please let these guys go?
346
00:25:35,876 --> 00:25:37,514
- Yeah, go on.
- Thank you.
347
00:25:41,548 --> 00:25:43,345
- That's it, gentlemen.
- Oh, that's it?
348
00:25:43,509 --> 00:25:45,101
- That's it?
- Thank you for coming out.
349
00:25:45,260 --> 00:25:47,933
- Whoa, whoa, coach!
- What do you mean, that's it?
350
00:25:49,098 --> 00:25:52,454
Good workout. Thanks for coming.
You worked real hard.
351
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:54,959
Gotta work on your speed a little, okay?
352
00:26:28,762 --> 00:26:30,434
Great. Give me a break.
353
00:26:33,934 --> 00:26:36,323
How long you been
having trouble with this?
354
00:26:36,812 --> 00:26:38,165
Since I bought it.
355
00:26:38,772 --> 00:26:41,730
- I'm Dick Vermeil.
- Vince Papale.
356
00:26:42,276 --> 00:26:43,345
Vince.
357
00:26:43,777 --> 00:26:47,656
Pretty good workout you just turned in.
Any idea how fast you were running?
358
00:26:48,198 --> 00:26:50,871
- No, not really.
- That was a 4.5.
359
00:26:51,535 --> 00:26:54,971
This means you're a heck of a lot faster
than this car of yours.
360
00:26:56,165 --> 00:26:59,601
- Where'd you play your college ball?
- I didn't play college ball.
361
00:27:01,628 --> 00:27:04,062
Vince, you mind me
asking you how old you are?
362
00:27:04,256 --> 00:27:05,575
No, I don't mind.
363
00:27:06,133 --> 00:27:08,488
You mind me
asking how old you are, coach?
364
00:27:13,223 --> 00:27:15,054
- Let's bring in Wade Chambers now...
- Figure that one out.
365
00:27:15,225 --> 00:27:16,783
... who spent most of his morning
at Veterans Stadium,
366
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:18,084
watching Eagle hopefuls.
367
00:27:18,228 --> 00:27:19,263
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
368
00:27:19,396 --> 00:27:21,830
I guess we can call them hopefuls.
How'd it go out there this morning?
369
00:27:22,024 --> 00:27:23,252
It wasn't exactly a banner day...
370
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,038
You had a chance to go and didn't,
did you?
371
00:27:25,194 --> 00:27:26,752
Former head coach Mike McCormack
372
00:27:26,904 --> 00:27:28,895
may not have run the tightest ship
in the NFL,
373
00:27:29,073 --> 00:27:31,223
but at least it wasn't a ship of fools.
374
00:27:31,408 --> 00:27:33,683
- Fight, Eagles, fight
- Look at this.
375
00:27:33,869 --> 00:27:35,939
On the road to victory
376
00:27:36,121 --> 00:27:39,113
That player, no surprise, did not get
an invitation to training camp.
377
00:27:39,333 --> 00:27:40,402
But believe it or not,
378
00:27:40,542 --> 00:27:43,852
new head coach Dick Vermeil
has decided to invite one person
379
00:27:44,088 --> 00:27:45,919
and one person only.
380
00:27:46,090 --> 00:27:49,924
He is Philadelphia native
Vince Papale...
381
00:27:50,177 --> 00:27:51,246
What?
382
00:27:51,387 --> 00:27:53,184
... a former teacher
who didn't even play college ball.
383
00:27:53,347 --> 00:27:54,621
Oh, you must be kidding me!
384
00:27:54,765 --> 00:27:56,084
Congratulations!
385
00:28:00,562 --> 00:28:03,440
Next round's on the house
for my boy Vince here.
386
00:28:06,693 --> 00:28:07,808
I'll have another beer.
387
00:28:09,446 --> 00:28:12,882
Hey! I grew up with brothers,
but I got no problem hitting a girl.
388
00:28:14,535 --> 00:28:16,651
- She called Petey a girl.
- Vince!
389
00:28:17,204 --> 00:28:19,035
Yo, Vince,
she's disrespecting your team here.
390
00:28:19,206 --> 00:28:22,437
I'm not disrespecting his team.
I'm just respecting mine.
391
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:25,580
All right, already, sweetheart.
You're such a Giants fan?
392
00:28:25,796 --> 00:28:28,947
- Name me a Giant. Any Giant.
- Any Giant?
393
00:28:29,174 --> 00:28:32,132
- Dangerous game, Johnny.
- I'm a dangerous guy.
394
00:28:32,344 --> 00:28:35,734
- Sam Huff.
- Everybody knows Sam Huff.
395
00:28:35,973 --> 00:28:38,407
Sam Huff.
All-American linebacker, West Virginia.
396
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,273
Five years, All-Pro. Led the Giants
to the Championship Game
397
00:28:41,478 --> 00:28:45,073
in '56, '58, '59, '61, '62 and '63.
398
00:28:45,315 --> 00:28:47,351
Hey.
How many Championships they win?
399
00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:49,801
- Oh, shut up, Tommy.
- Oh, okay.
400
00:28:49,987 --> 00:28:51,022
The big goose egg.
401
00:28:51,155 --> 00:28:53,225
Oh, Ace wants to get into the game.
402
00:28:53,407 --> 00:28:56,365
All right, teach me something
about your beloved lggles.
403
00:28:56,577 --> 00:28:59,455
- That's easy. Tommy McDonald.
- Oh, that's Vince's boy.
404
00:29:00,414 --> 00:29:02,644
All-American wide receiver, Oklahoma.
405
00:29:03,083 --> 00:29:06,280
Led the Eagles to the Championship
in 1960 over Green Bay.
406
00:29:06,503 --> 00:29:07,538
1960.
407
00:29:07,671 --> 00:29:10,310
And who'd they beat to get there?
Yeah.
408
00:29:10,507 --> 00:29:13,226
The New York Giants!
409
00:29:14,261 --> 00:29:15,694
See, that's what I'm talking about.
410
00:29:15,846 --> 00:29:17,837
All right, everybody, quiet down.
411
00:29:20,184 --> 00:29:23,301
The last year or two we ain't had much
to raise our glasses to.
412
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,953
- Yeah.
- You got that right.
413
00:29:25,105 --> 00:29:26,936
But we sure got something tonight,
don't we?
414
00:29:27,107 --> 00:29:28,222
Yeah.
415
00:29:33,197 --> 00:29:36,428
To Vince Papale, neighbourhood boy,
416
00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:39,589
who, starting two days from now,
will be on the field
417
00:29:39,787 --> 00:29:41,857
mixing it up with Bill Bergey.
418
00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:43,108
Bergey!
419
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:44,397
T-Bone Parker.
420
00:29:44,541 --> 00:29:45,690
T-Bone!
421
00:29:45,834 --> 00:29:47,552
- Frankie LeMaster.
- Yeah!
422
00:29:47,711 --> 00:29:49,508
For that team we still love.
423
00:29:49,671 --> 00:29:50,740
Yeah!
424
00:29:50,881 --> 00:29:52,997
The Philadelphia Eagles!
425
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:17,509
- You okay?
- Yeah.
426
00:30:17,658 --> 00:30:19,489
Let's go outside for a minute.
427
00:30:22,996 --> 00:30:24,270
Max, I'm all right.
428
00:30:24,415 --> 00:30:25,530
I already got some help. Don't worry.
429
00:30:25,666 --> 00:30:27,099
Yeah, well,
you're about to get some more.
430
00:30:27,251 --> 00:30:28,889
Come on.
Pay some bills while you're at camp.
431
00:30:29,044 --> 00:30:30,636
- Max.
- What?
432
00:30:30,796 --> 00:30:33,549
Look, it's not like
I'm gonna be making the team.
433
00:30:33,757 --> 00:30:35,270
Don't talk like that.
434
00:30:35,843 --> 00:30:38,835
You go out there and you play
like you're better than they are.
435
00:30:39,054 --> 00:30:40,612
- Come on.
- I'm gonna make it up to you, all right?
436
00:30:40,764 --> 00:30:42,402
Oh, you're damn right, you are.
437
00:30:42,558 --> 00:30:44,276
- Thanks, Max.
- All right.
438
00:30:44,435 --> 00:30:45,709
Hey.
439
00:30:45,853 --> 00:30:47,525
- Hey, you heading home?
- Yeah.
440
00:30:47,688 --> 00:30:50,282
One of you guys should get back
in there. It's getting crazy.
441
00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:51,631
- Animals.
- I got it.
442
00:30:51,775 --> 00:30:54,608
No, no, no. You should go home, too.
You're in training, remember?
443
00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:56,936
And walk her home while you're at it.
She's on your way.
444
00:30:57,114 --> 00:30:58,183
No, I'm fine.
445
00:30:58,323 --> 00:31:00,917
Right, and I'm gonna tell Uncle Richie
I let you walk home at night
446
00:31:01,118 --> 00:31:02,915
in South Philly wearing that?
447
00:31:03,078 --> 00:31:04,147
Come on.
448
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,155
Good night.
449
00:31:07,458 --> 00:31:08,527
Whoa, whoa.
450
00:31:09,418 --> 00:31:11,568
Wait a second. Are you kidding me?
451
00:31:11,754 --> 00:31:13,984
Wade Chambers
right here at my place?
452
00:31:14,173 --> 00:31:15,367
Is this Max's?
453
00:31:15,549 --> 00:31:16,743
Yeah, it's Max's.
454
00:31:16,884 --> 00:31:18,954
Look at the... Max Cantwell.
455
00:31:19,136 --> 00:31:20,774
- This is my cousin, Janet.
- Hi.
456
00:31:20,929 --> 00:31:24,046
And this is the man you probably
wanna talk to, Vince Papale.
457
00:31:24,266 --> 00:31:25,335
Oh, no, thanks.
458
00:31:25,476 --> 00:31:27,307
People wanna know
who you are, Vince.
459
00:31:27,478 --> 00:31:28,797
All we need's five minutes.
460
00:31:28,937 --> 00:31:31,007
Hey, you could do it
right here outside my bar.
461
00:31:31,190 --> 00:31:34,580
- I gotta walk Janet home.
- Oh, no. I can wait.
462
00:31:37,696 --> 00:31:39,846
- All right, five minutes.
- All right.
463
00:31:41,617 --> 00:31:44,131
- Popoli or Papal?
- Papale.
464
00:31:45,162 --> 00:31:46,834
And all set.
465
00:31:47,331 --> 00:31:49,242
I'm here on Franklin Street
with Vince Papale,
466
00:31:49,416 --> 00:31:51,646
a bartender at Max's Bar and Grill
467
00:31:51,835 --> 00:31:53,712
and perhaps
future professional football player
468
00:31:53,879 --> 00:31:55,198
with the Philadelphia Eagles.
469
00:31:55,339 --> 00:31:56,408
Hey, whoa, whoa.
470
00:31:56,548 --> 00:31:58,823
So, Vince, tell us about your day
at Veterans Stadium.
471
00:31:59,009 --> 00:32:01,204
Hey, Pete!
What are you, a knucklehead?
472
00:32:01,387 --> 00:32:02,979
- All right, let's cut it.
- Going on my kegs?
473
00:32:03,138 --> 00:32:04,617
- Sorry.
- Come on, we're on TV here!
474
00:32:11,021 --> 00:32:13,057
So, how'd you become a Giants fan?
475
00:32:13,774 --> 00:32:16,049
Besides the fact
I was born in New York?
476
00:32:17,152 --> 00:32:20,269
Five brothers, all older.
Not much choice, yeah?
477
00:32:20,656 --> 00:32:22,248
That's why I like bartending.
478
00:32:22,408 --> 00:32:25,127
It's like I'm back home
listening to my brothers argue.
479
00:32:25,327 --> 00:32:26,806
You worked right there in the city?
480
00:32:26,954 --> 00:32:28,069
Yeah.
481
00:32:31,125 --> 00:32:33,559
So, you got something pretty big
happening here.
482
00:32:33,752 --> 00:32:36,186
I'll be right back here in a couple days.
483
00:32:38,757 --> 00:32:40,031
This is my place.
484
00:32:43,345 --> 00:32:45,063
Tommy McDonald, huh?
485
00:32:47,349 --> 00:32:48,782
I'll see you around?
486
00:33:09,038 --> 00:33:10,107
- Hello?
- Hey.
487
00:33:10,247 --> 00:33:13,683
Turn on Channel 11. They're gonna
do your interview in one minute.
488
00:33:26,889 --> 00:33:27,958
Vinnie.
489
00:33:28,098 --> 00:33:29,133
Pardon me, Mrs Spegnetti.
490
00:33:29,266 --> 00:33:32,258
Do you think maybe I could watch
your TV just for a few minutes?
491
00:33:32,978 --> 00:33:34,047
Okay.
492
00:33:34,188 --> 00:33:36,338
Vince Papale, a part-time bartender,
493
00:33:36,523 --> 00:33:39,242
will be at Eagles training camp
in just two days.
494
00:33:39,443 --> 00:33:42,241
- This is no Tinseltown fairy tale, folks.
- Vinnie, that's you on TV.
495
00:33:42,446 --> 00:33:45,563
This is a real-life Cinderella story,
with a cleat instead of a slipper,
496
00:33:45,783 --> 00:33:47,011
right here in Philadelphia.
497
00:33:47,159 --> 00:33:48,194
Eagles, baby, Eagles!
498
00:33:48,327 --> 00:33:50,079
- Oh, my God, my neighbour's famous.
- Wade Chambers, Channel 11 News.
499
00:33:50,788 --> 00:33:52,585
Good luck, Vince.
We'll be pulling for you.
500
00:33:52,748 --> 00:33:54,261
- Don.
- Thanks, Wade.
501
00:33:54,416 --> 00:33:56,407
Certainly a different approach
being taken
502
00:33:56,585 --> 00:33:58,576
by new Eagles coach Dick Vermeil.
503
00:33:59,088 --> 00:34:01,204
In other news tonight,
a three-alarm fire broke out...
504
00:34:01,382 --> 00:34:02,974
Change in game plan, coach?
505
00:34:03,133 --> 00:34:04,805
Just need to shake things up.
506
00:34:04,968 --> 00:34:06,640
If it means doing this
for a couple of weeks,
507
00:34:06,804 --> 00:34:08,203
might not be such a bad thing.
508
00:34:08,347 --> 00:34:09,860
Just be careful, Dick.
509
00:34:10,015 --> 00:34:11,653
This isn't UCLA anymore.
510
00:34:11,809 --> 00:34:13,925
These are the toughest fans there are.
511
00:34:14,103 --> 00:34:16,822
They threw snowballs at Santa Claus.
You remember?
512
00:34:20,734 --> 00:34:22,213
Gonna get some sleep?
513
00:34:23,987 --> 00:34:25,579
I'll sleep in December.
514
00:34:26,448 --> 00:34:27,676
Not if you make the playoffs.
515
00:36:17,726 --> 00:36:19,956
- Hey, Petey.
- Hey.
516
00:36:20,479 --> 00:36:22,868
- What are you doing here?
- Nothing.
517
00:36:23,065 --> 00:36:25,818
I was over at Mom's for dinner.
Sunday night, you know.
518
00:36:26,026 --> 00:36:27,459
Figured I'd just stop
and see if you was here.
519
00:36:27,611 --> 00:36:30,489
- You been here long?
- No, a few minutes is all.
520
00:36:33,409 --> 00:36:35,127
Your big day tomorrow, huh?
521
00:36:35,994 --> 00:36:38,747
I mean, I guess, you know?
See what happens.
522
00:36:40,582 --> 00:36:43,654
It's a good thing, Vinnie.
No matter how long it goes.
523
00:36:44,712 --> 00:36:46,464
Even if it's just for a day.
524
00:36:56,265 --> 00:37:00,019
I never said good luck to Andrew,
you know, before he left for Nam.
525
00:37:11,155 --> 00:37:12,907
You do good out there, okay?
526
00:37:35,345 --> 00:37:37,734
Just don't touch anything
that's not yours.
527
00:38:31,026 --> 00:38:32,095
Excuse me.
528
00:38:33,195 --> 00:38:34,833
My name's spelled wrong.
529
00:38:35,072 --> 00:38:38,860
Nothing personal, but by the time
I get to it, is it really gonna matter?
530
00:39:19,575 --> 00:39:20,724
Yeah. Come on.
531
00:39:20,868 --> 00:39:22,267
- What's up, Cool Breeze?
- All right?
532
00:39:22,411 --> 00:39:23,526
Hey, man.
533
00:39:23,662 --> 00:39:24,697
What's going on?
534
00:39:27,124 --> 00:39:29,035
- Oh, yeah.
- You deserve it, man.
535
00:39:29,251 --> 00:39:30,843
Gonna reach Harold Carmichael stats.
536
00:39:31,003 --> 00:39:32,755
- There ain't no way he's gonna do that.
- Hey, Carmichael.
537
00:39:32,921 --> 00:39:34,991
No, I was talking to Mom the other day.
Everything's good.
538
00:39:35,174 --> 00:39:36,289
Getting D.
539
00:39:42,097 --> 00:39:43,132
You ready for this?
540
00:39:43,265 --> 00:39:45,460
I'm probably gonna hit them hard
right out of the gate, A.C.
541
00:39:45,642 --> 00:39:46,757
See who's who.
542
00:39:46,894 --> 00:39:47,929
That's not what I meant.
543
00:39:48,062 --> 00:39:50,974
- Better be good, golden boy!
- Rookie coach.
544
00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:53,101
- This ain't college no more.
- You got one year, buddy.
545
00:39:53,275 --> 00:39:55,709
- You better be renting month-to-month!
- Welcome to the NFL.
546
00:39:55,903 --> 00:39:57,939
Gentlemen,
you're about to hear me say a word
547
00:39:58,113 --> 00:39:59,990
you'll never hear me say again.
548
00:40:00,908 --> 00:40:02,023
Lose.
549
00:40:03,869 --> 00:40:05,268
Means to fail.
550
00:40:06,455 --> 00:40:11,575
Means to be reduced,
to surrender, to relinquish.
551
00:40:13,003 --> 00:40:15,961
Over the years,
this team has surrendered.
552
00:40:16,173 --> 00:40:17,606
It's been reduced.
553
00:40:18,592 --> 00:40:20,071
This team has failed.
554
00:40:21,095 --> 00:40:22,164
No more.
555
00:40:23,472 --> 00:40:27,306
No more. Starting today,
we are on a path toward winning.
556
00:40:27,684 --> 00:40:30,073
And that's gonna require
a lot more work and sacrifice
557
00:40:30,270 --> 00:40:32,067
than many of you are used to.
558
00:40:32,231 --> 00:40:34,062
Six straight weeks of two-a-days.
559
00:40:34,233 --> 00:40:36,827
We'll go three,
three-and-a-half-hour sessions.
560
00:40:37,277 --> 00:40:39,837
We are gonna shake the rust
out of these shoulder pads
561
00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:41,941
and we're gonna become winners.
562
00:40:42,574 --> 00:40:44,530
And I don't care what your story is.
563
00:40:44,702 --> 00:40:48,536
Veteran, rookie, free agent. I don't care.
564
00:40:48,789 --> 00:40:51,940
You earn a spot on this team
by what you show me on this field.
565
00:40:52,167 --> 00:40:53,202
That's it.
566
00:40:54,336 --> 00:40:55,849
I play no favourites.
567
00:40:57,172 --> 00:40:58,241
None.
568
00:41:01,385 --> 00:41:03,501
All right. Let's go to work.
569
00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:07,228
One, two, three, two.
One, two, three, three.
570
00:41:07,474 --> 00:41:09,544
One, two, three, four.
571
00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:11,240
Work, work, work!
572
00:41:29,413 --> 00:41:30,482
Down!
573
00:41:36,670 --> 00:41:39,980
Get that helmet back on!
What do you think this is, a waltz?
574
00:41:40,215 --> 00:41:42,012
- Run it again.
- All right!
575
00:41:42,176 --> 00:41:43,495
- Do it again.
- You heard the man!
576
00:41:43,635 --> 00:41:45,114
We're doing it again!
577
00:41:47,848 --> 00:41:49,918
Bring it! Down! Get up!
578
00:41:54,188 --> 00:41:58,625
25, 26, 27, 28...
579
00:42:07,993 --> 00:42:09,790
Come on. Keep moving.
580
00:42:21,548 --> 00:42:23,300
Blue 99. Hut.
581
00:42:30,015 --> 00:42:31,733
Look at that white boy run!
582
00:42:33,102 --> 00:42:34,581
Thinks he's a football player!
583
00:42:34,728 --> 00:42:35,877
Hey, old man.
584
00:42:36,563 --> 00:42:38,042
This ain't high school!
585
00:42:38,190 --> 00:42:39,259
Hey, Banks!
586
00:42:39,483 --> 00:42:41,599
That old man just made you look bad.
587
00:42:43,404 --> 00:42:45,395
That's the way to finish, Papale!
588
00:42:56,750 --> 00:42:58,980
Stay on your feet or get off the field!
589
00:43:02,256 --> 00:43:03,325
Come on!
590
00:43:10,305 --> 00:43:11,533
Let's go, rook.
591
00:43:16,478 --> 00:43:17,797
Come on!
592
00:43:20,190 --> 00:43:21,225
Stay down!
593
00:43:21,358 --> 00:43:23,508
You gotta show me more than that, 83.
594
00:43:35,706 --> 00:43:36,855
I'll catch you later.
595
00:43:36,999 --> 00:43:38,876
- Next time, Stan.
- All right.
596
00:43:39,126 --> 00:43:42,436
Oh, dig! What do you think
you're doing out there, Pops?
597
00:43:42,671 --> 00:43:44,821
- What?
- It's the first day of camp.
598
00:43:45,215 --> 00:43:46,853
Might wanna settle down.
599
00:43:48,302 --> 00:43:51,658
Try helping out the ones who are
actually gonna make this team.
600
00:44:04,401 --> 00:44:06,039
- 442, Papale.
- Thanks.
601
00:44:06,195 --> 00:44:07,264
Dinner's at 7:00.
602
00:44:07,404 --> 00:44:08,757
Receivers' meeting at 9:00.
603
00:44:08,906 --> 00:44:10,385
Lights out, 11:00.
604
00:44:10,616 --> 00:44:11,685
Hey, coach.
605
00:44:12,326 --> 00:44:15,079
- Isn't there someone else in here?
- Not anymore.
606
00:44:29,718 --> 00:44:32,186
Hey, big guy. Come here for a second.
607
00:44:34,348 --> 00:44:35,417
Check this.
608
00:44:37,768 --> 00:44:39,406
She's cold-blooded, huh?
609
00:44:41,438 --> 00:44:42,757
Do you dig that?
610
00:45:09,717 --> 00:45:12,390
A Giants shirt? What, are you trying
to get me killed here?
611
00:45:12,594 --> 00:45:13,822
So how'd it go?
612
00:45:14,430 --> 00:45:16,785
I got a room.
Just haven't unpacked yet.
613
00:45:16,974 --> 00:45:18,453
I mean, it's a little different from playing
614
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,192
with Maxie and the boys, though,
that's for sure.
615
00:45:20,352 --> 00:45:21,944
Well, I'll be sure to let them know that.
616
00:45:22,104 --> 00:45:23,981
Hey, you working tomorrow night?
617
00:45:24,148 --> 00:45:25,820
I just thought maybe
if you weren't doing anything...
618
00:45:25,983 --> 00:45:29,100
Not that we'd be, you know,
doing anything official, but...
619
00:45:30,904 --> 00:45:33,020
Well, being as you put it that way,
620
00:45:33,991 --> 00:45:35,504
sure, yeah.
621
00:45:35,659 --> 00:45:37,809
Great. Hey, and thanks
for the package, really.
622
00:45:37,995 --> 00:45:39,826
- No problem.
- All right, I'll call you tomorrow.
623
00:45:39,997 --> 00:45:41,191
All right. Bye.
624
00:45:44,334 --> 00:45:45,562
Take him down!
625
00:45:45,711 --> 00:45:46,860
Good job! Good job!
626
00:45:47,004 --> 00:45:48,562
She was right, old man!
627
00:45:48,756 --> 00:45:51,509
- You ain't going nowhere.
- That's right, German!
628
00:45:54,928 --> 00:45:55,963
Come here!
629
00:45:59,683 --> 00:46:02,834
- Hey!
- Hold on. That's enough! Break it up.
630
00:46:03,062 --> 00:46:04,461
- Come on!
- Back off!
631
00:46:05,189 --> 00:46:06,622
I said, back off!
632
00:46:07,024 --> 00:46:08,901
A.C., get them over to the sleds.
633
00:46:09,068 --> 00:46:10,979
All right, team. Let's move it.
634
00:46:11,153 --> 00:46:13,144
You heard the man. Let's move it.
635
00:46:14,114 --> 00:46:15,308
Move! Yeah!
636
00:46:16,825 --> 00:46:17,894
Game over!
637
00:46:21,288 --> 00:46:22,403
Philly, huh?
638
00:46:23,749 --> 00:46:25,102
I needed a change.
639
00:46:25,876 --> 00:46:27,992
A new city seemed like a good start.
640
00:46:31,423 --> 00:46:32,538
My ex.
641
00:46:32,674 --> 00:46:34,505
- Husband?
- Boyfriend.
642
00:46:36,512 --> 00:46:38,389
He wasn't what he said he was.
643
00:46:39,014 --> 00:46:40,527
What'd he say he was?
644
00:46:42,101 --> 00:46:43,216
Single.
645
00:46:45,854 --> 00:46:48,368
How about you?
If you don't mind me asking.
646
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,618
Married five years.
647
00:46:52,319 --> 00:46:54,549
Showed up one day, she wasn't there.
648
00:46:56,365 --> 00:46:58,242
- Sorry.
- No, that's okay.
649
00:47:00,285 --> 00:47:02,116
So now you play football.
650
00:47:02,287 --> 00:47:04,164
Well, I've been playing
since I was a kid.
651
00:47:04,331 --> 00:47:05,844
Nothing big, you know.
652
00:47:06,291 --> 00:47:07,770
My mom was the one
that got me started.
653
00:47:07,918 --> 00:47:10,557
- Your mom?
- Yeah. Yeah, she was a great athlete.
654
00:47:10,754 --> 00:47:12,312
I mean, she got sick
when I was really young.
655
00:47:12,464 --> 00:47:14,500
Had a lot of medical problems.
656
00:47:15,384 --> 00:47:16,612
What about your dad?
657
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,432
Well, he worked at the factory.
658
00:47:18,595 --> 00:47:20,267
I mean, he'd come home
as much as he could,
659
00:47:20,431 --> 00:47:22,103
but, you know, he had to pay the bills.
660
00:47:22,266 --> 00:47:25,622
I think her medical condition
really bothered him a lot, though.
661
00:47:26,979 --> 00:47:28,617
We always had the Eagles.
662
00:47:29,648 --> 00:47:32,208
You know, he'd love to tell
the story of Steve Van Buren.
663
00:47:32,401 --> 00:47:34,039
The '48 Championship Game?
664
00:47:37,406 --> 00:47:39,442
I have five brothers, remember?
665
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:41,292
Yeah, I remember now.
666
00:47:41,452 --> 00:47:43,124
Anyway, I mean,
he'd talk about Steve Van Buren
667
00:47:43,287 --> 00:47:45,755
scoring the only touchdown
against the Chicago Cardinals,
668
00:47:45,956 --> 00:47:47,469
which won them the Championship.
669
00:47:47,624 --> 00:47:48,659
7-0.
670
00:47:49,543 --> 00:47:51,295
How do you know all of that?
671
00:48:00,387 --> 00:48:02,298
First cut's always the deepest.
672
00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:12,563
Coach wants to see you.
Bring your playbook.
673
00:48:20,866 --> 00:48:23,300
Coach wants to see you.
Bring your playbook.
674
00:48:27,247 --> 00:48:29,158
Bring your playbook.
675
00:48:51,939 --> 00:48:54,658
Coach wants to see you.
Bring your playbook.
676
00:49:15,838 --> 00:49:17,954
Once again, the evening's top story.
677
00:49:18,298 --> 00:49:21,495
Union leaders are now calling
for a strike against Westinghouse.
678
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,835
Two thousand workers
could be on the picket lines
679
00:49:24,012 --> 00:49:25,889
as early as tomorrow night.
680
00:49:26,306 --> 00:49:28,695
And now over to Wade Chambers
and sports.
681
00:49:28,934 --> 00:49:31,323
Well, the biggest news today
from Eagles training camp
682
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,911
is that Philly's own Vince Papale
has made it past the first round of cuts.
683
00:49:36,233 --> 00:49:38,906
The part-time bartender remains
a long shot to make the team,
684
00:49:39,111 --> 00:49:43,150
but the mere fact that he's still around,
well, that's amazing in itself.
685
00:49:43,991 --> 00:49:45,140
Attaboy, Vince.
686
00:49:45,284 --> 00:49:47,036
Vermeil's coaching staff seems to be
focusing on defence this year.
687
00:49:47,786 --> 00:49:49,822
Welcome to special teams, gentlemen.
688
00:49:49,997 --> 00:49:51,988
The only way that many of you
will make this roster
689
00:49:52,166 --> 00:49:54,122
is by proving yourself right here.
690
00:49:54,293 --> 00:49:56,966
To be successful,
you must throw away all fear.
691
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,757
Speed and agility are critical,
692
00:49:59,923 --> 00:50:03,438
but desire and determination
are even more important.
693
00:50:03,677 --> 00:50:04,951
Ready.
694
00:50:09,183 --> 00:50:10,696
Move it, move it!
695
00:50:11,226 --> 00:50:12,341
That's it.
696
00:50:12,978 --> 00:50:14,491
- Got it.
- Way to go, Banks!
697
00:50:14,646 --> 00:50:16,125
Way to bring it home.
698
00:50:17,149 --> 00:50:18,298
- Looks good, right?
- Yeah.
699
00:50:18,442 --> 00:50:19,636
Next!
700
00:50:19,777 --> 00:50:21,210
Keep them on the 20.
701
00:50:28,744 --> 00:50:30,382
There you go, Sampson!
702
00:50:30,537 --> 00:50:32,767
That's what we're looking for out here!
703
00:50:34,249 --> 00:50:36,240
Cream's coming to the top now, Pops.
704
00:50:36,418 --> 00:50:38,249
- Give me some.
- Oh, yeah.
705
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:42,909
What you doing in here?
706
00:50:43,050 --> 00:50:44,449
How am I supposed to run
in all this stuff?
707
00:50:44,593 --> 00:50:46,902
That stuff protects you.
It's there for a reason.
708
00:50:47,096 --> 00:50:48,449
You can't wear quarterback pads.
709
00:50:48,597 --> 00:50:50,110
You won't last a week wearing those.
710
00:50:50,265 --> 00:50:53,496
Nothing personal,
but is it really gonna matter?
711
00:50:57,356 --> 00:51:00,029
All right. Come on. You can do it!
712
00:51:01,026 --> 00:51:02,095
Ready.
713
00:52:07,092 --> 00:52:09,560
- What about Franks?
- They're beating him on the weak side.
714
00:52:09,762 --> 00:52:12,879
He better figure something out
if he wants to stick around.
715
00:53:15,953 --> 00:53:17,272
Chicken soup.
716
00:53:18,205 --> 00:53:19,763
Cures everything, yeah?
717
00:53:21,834 --> 00:53:24,667
- Tommy been in yet?
- Not so far.
718
00:53:27,297 --> 00:53:29,288
Anybody take you to Colombo's yet?
719
00:53:29,633 --> 00:53:31,589
The best cheese steak in Philly.
720
00:53:32,970 --> 00:53:34,244
Anybody asking?
721
00:53:35,305 --> 00:53:37,739
Well, if Maxie
don't have you working Friday.
722
00:53:38,934 --> 00:53:41,892
Long as 9:00 gets you back
for your curfew.
723
00:53:42,646 --> 00:53:43,681
All right.
724
00:53:48,402 --> 00:53:50,552
Hey, Rick, can you make me up
a grilled cheese?
725
00:53:50,738 --> 00:53:52,774
- Make it with fries.
- Oh, yeah.
726
00:53:53,699 --> 00:53:56,293
You're jumping back pretty fast,
huh, buddy boy?
727
00:53:58,495 --> 00:54:01,407
You really think a nice-looking girl
from New York's gonna come back,
728
00:54:01,623 --> 00:54:02,976
start over with one of us?
729
00:54:03,125 --> 00:54:06,515
Just 'cause everybody's
cheering for you trying to be an Eagle?
730
00:54:07,004 --> 00:54:09,837
We're just talking here.
What's your problem, Johnny?
731
00:54:10,883 --> 00:54:12,680
You'll still be nothing, man.
732
00:54:13,677 --> 00:54:16,714
When all this is over and done,
nothing.
733
00:54:17,639 --> 00:54:19,277
Just like the rest of us.
734
00:54:25,105 --> 00:54:26,902
Hey, Rick, can I get some more fries?
735
00:54:27,066 --> 00:54:28,260
Sure, why not?
736
00:54:56,804 --> 00:54:57,839
- Hey.
- Hey.
737
00:54:58,722 --> 00:55:01,316
So, this is the place, huh?
As good as it gets?
738
00:55:01,850 --> 00:55:03,283
Yeah. I mean, it's a little busy tonight.
739
00:55:03,435 --> 00:55:04,550
Yeah.
740
00:55:05,145 --> 00:55:07,454
Hey. You're Papale, right?
741
00:55:07,648 --> 00:55:08,717
Yeah.
742
00:55:08,857 --> 00:55:11,417
I don't care what anybody says.
You're doing a great job.
743
00:55:11,610 --> 00:55:13,282
- Thank you.
- Keep sticking it to those guys.
744
00:55:13,445 --> 00:55:14,958
- All right?
- All right.
745
00:55:16,657 --> 00:55:19,376
- Sorry about that.
- I guess you're still on the team, huh?
746
00:55:19,576 --> 00:55:22,249
Yeah, well,
there's a lot more cuts to go, but...
747
00:55:26,750 --> 00:55:27,785
What?
748
00:55:29,962 --> 00:55:31,873
I was just thinking, you know.
749
00:55:32,047 --> 00:55:35,596
I didn't think I was gonna make it
past the first week of all this,
750
00:55:35,843 --> 00:55:37,640
and now that I have, I mean...
751
00:55:37,803 --> 00:55:40,397
Well, maybe it's just better
if I just think about one thing
752
00:55:40,597 --> 00:55:42,315
instead of everything else.
753
00:55:43,142 --> 00:55:44,336
For right now.
754
00:55:45,144 --> 00:55:46,463
"Everything else"?
755
00:55:51,525 --> 00:55:53,914
Did you think
this was a date or something?
756
00:55:55,696 --> 00:55:59,848
Vince, I'm the last one
that wants to start something right now.
757
00:56:01,452 --> 00:56:04,728
Barely a month ago, I was
with the wrong guy, you were married.
758
00:56:04,955 --> 00:56:07,025
We're not exactly the perfect match.
759
00:56:07,207 --> 00:56:09,641
I didn't mean for it to sound like that.
That's not what I meant.
760
00:56:09,835 --> 00:56:11,632
No, you know,
Max thought it was gonna be busy
761
00:56:11,795 --> 00:56:13,513
at his place tonight, too,
so I'm gonna go over there
762
00:56:13,672 --> 00:56:14,991
and see if I can help him out.
763
00:56:15,132 --> 00:56:17,726
- Janet...
- No, we'll do this another night.
764
00:56:17,926 --> 00:56:19,917
I'll tell everyone you said hi.
765
00:56:44,161 --> 00:56:45,594
Denny Franks, right?
766
00:56:47,289 --> 00:56:48,688
Vermeil's trying to mix things up.
767
00:56:48,832 --> 00:56:51,141
He's putting rooks with veterans,
veterans with rooks.
768
00:56:51,335 --> 00:56:52,404
Crazy.
769
00:56:54,463 --> 00:56:56,135
So, are you like everyone else
around here?
770
00:56:56,298 --> 00:56:59,608
You mean, do I hate you? Yeah.
I'm a centre. I hate everybody.
771
00:57:01,011 --> 00:57:04,003
Yeah, well, your weak-side block,
it's not good enough.
772
00:57:08,811 --> 00:57:09,846
Says who?
773
00:57:09,978 --> 00:57:11,570
I heard some coaches talking...
774
00:57:11,730 --> 00:57:13,129
- What colour are my knuckles?
- What?
775
00:57:13,273 --> 00:57:14,501
What colour are my knuckles?
776
00:57:14,650 --> 00:57:15,719
- They're white.
- They're white.
777
00:57:15,859 --> 00:57:16,974
You see,
white 'cause my weight's forward.
778
00:57:17,111 --> 00:57:18,226
Means I'm coming after you.
779
00:57:18,362 --> 00:57:20,637
If I'm laying back,
the colour comes back.
780
00:57:24,284 --> 00:57:26,752
Tired of watching you
get hammered every day.
781
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,393
I appreciate that.
782
00:57:32,042 --> 00:57:34,192
Is there anything else I should know?
783
00:57:34,378 --> 00:57:37,051
Yeah, lose the Giants shirt
hanging in my closet.
784
00:57:44,596 --> 00:57:46,154
You want a job? You want a job?
Let's go.
785
00:57:46,306 --> 00:57:48,774
- Let's go.
- Go, next group.
786
00:57:49,268 --> 00:57:51,304
- Set.
- Move it, move it, move it.
787
00:57:51,478 --> 00:57:54,914
Come on! All the way.
Touch the line! Touch the line!
788
00:57:55,941 --> 00:57:57,738
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
789
00:57:58,444 --> 00:58:01,277
Come on, gentlemen.
Let's act like you wanna be here!
790
00:58:02,156 --> 00:58:03,350
First group again.
791
00:58:03,490 --> 00:58:05,287
- All right, let's go. Let's go.
- Set.
792
00:58:05,451 --> 00:58:07,328
You heard him, first group.
793
00:58:07,494 --> 00:58:09,371
Right. All the way, all the way.
794
00:58:09,538 --> 00:58:10,687
Shake it off. Shake it off.
795
00:58:10,831 --> 00:58:13,709
Push through. That's good.
Push them through. Come on.
796
00:58:14,752 --> 00:58:16,743
You do know
we have a whole season in front of us?
797
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,433
That's it.
Hit and release. Hit and release.
798
00:58:18,589 --> 00:58:20,307
Come on. Do it again. Do it again.
799
00:58:20,466 --> 00:58:22,696
We're still looking
for the last five players, right, A.C.?
800
00:58:22,885 --> 00:58:23,954
I know.
801
00:58:24,261 --> 00:58:26,536
But do we need to kill the first 40
to find the last five?
802
00:58:26,722 --> 00:58:29,680
Fred!
Nutcracker, other side of the field!
803
00:58:32,352 --> 00:58:33,626
Get in there.
804
00:58:37,399 --> 00:58:39,788
- Come on, rook.
- Put it on him, 57.
805
00:58:41,028 --> 00:58:42,780
- Come on, boy.
- Feel it. Come on.
806
00:58:42,946 --> 00:58:45,460
- Out of nowhere...
- You gotta feel it, Papale.
807
00:58:49,495 --> 00:58:51,929
- What are you doing?
- That's not quick enough, German.
808
00:58:52,122 --> 00:58:53,760
- Come on.
- Run it again. Now.
809
00:58:53,916 --> 00:58:55,429
- Let's go.
- Rook came to play today, man.
810
00:58:55,584 --> 00:58:57,222
German, he's about
to dial your number.
811
00:58:57,378 --> 00:58:58,857
Pastahead Papale!
812
00:58:59,046 --> 00:59:00,718
- Hey, German.
- German!
813
00:59:00,881 --> 00:59:02,155
- Go, German!
- Go!
814
00:59:02,883 --> 00:59:04,157
Get him, get him.
815
00:59:06,929 --> 00:59:09,124
Hey, 57, I don't know.
He's got your number, baby.
816
00:59:09,306 --> 00:59:10,421
Get up!
817
00:59:10,557 --> 00:59:11,672
Let's go.
818
00:59:12,059 --> 00:59:16,052
It ain't over. It ain't over. It ain't over.
819
00:59:17,898 --> 00:59:18,933
Come on.
820
00:59:19,483 --> 00:59:21,041
- Come on!
- Come on!
821
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,276
- Set.
- Take that rookie down.
822
00:59:29,034 --> 00:59:31,867
- You showed him, German.
- Let's move them downstairs.
823
00:59:32,246 --> 00:59:34,714
- All right, gentlemen. Lower field.
- Yeah.
824
00:59:35,082 --> 00:59:36,197
Let's move.
825
00:59:36,959 --> 00:59:38,028
Let's go.
826
00:59:47,594 --> 00:59:49,630
All right, Vince. It's all right.
827
01:00:09,992 --> 01:00:12,950
A less-than-perfect start
for new head coach Dick Vermeil,
828
01:00:13,162 --> 01:00:15,357
the Eagles losing
their preseason opener today
829
01:00:15,539 --> 01:00:17,814
to San Diego, 20-7.
830
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,468
Still with the team,
for one more week, at least,
831
01:00:20,669 --> 01:00:23,308
South Philly's own favourite son,
Vince Papale.
832
01:00:24,298 --> 01:00:26,050
- To Vinnie.
- Cheers, brother.
833
01:00:26,467 --> 01:00:28,105
New week, same story.
834
01:00:28,302 --> 01:00:30,452
The Eagles,
losers of their opener a week ago,
835
01:00:30,637 --> 01:00:32,434
dropped their second straight
game today,
836
01:00:32,598 --> 01:00:35,192
a 14-7 decision to the Steelers.
837
01:00:35,392 --> 01:00:39,101
Well, let's just hope this isn't
the beginning of a long season, folks.
838
01:00:39,855 --> 01:00:41,766
If Dick Vermeil was hoping
for a honeymoon,
839
01:00:41,940 --> 01:00:43,259
he'll have to win a game first,
840
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,871
Miami handing the Eagles their third
straight preseason loss today, 24- 16.
841
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:49,349
Vinnie.
842
01:00:49,948 --> 01:00:51,779
With final cuts only days away,
843
01:00:51,950 --> 01:00:55,147
South Philly's Vince Papale
saw a noticeable drop in playing time
844
01:00:55,371 --> 01:00:59,159
as the Eagles lose
to Cleveland tonight, 21- 17,
845
01:00:59,416 --> 01:01:02,374
bringing their preseason record
to 0 and 6.
846
01:01:28,070 --> 01:01:29,139
Vince.
847
01:01:30,030 --> 01:01:32,498
What brings you back
to the old neighbourhood?
848
01:01:32,825 --> 01:01:35,259
Don't you guys have kind of a curfew
out there?
849
01:01:35,452 --> 01:01:36,805
How you doing, Pop?
850
01:01:38,288 --> 01:01:39,323
You know.
851
01:01:44,378 --> 01:01:46,608
That was a hell of a time
to borrow money from you, Pop,
852
01:01:46,797 --> 01:01:48,389
with the strike and all.
853
01:01:48,632 --> 01:01:51,226
I talked to Maxie.
I'm gonna get my hours back.
854
01:01:51,552 --> 01:01:52,871
They let you go?
855
01:01:53,721 --> 01:01:54,836
No, not yet.
856
01:01:55,889 --> 01:01:57,641
They will, though, tomorrow.
857
01:01:59,226 --> 01:02:00,705
I've just been kidding myself, Pop.
858
01:02:00,853 --> 01:02:03,526
I mean, no one needs some hack
from South Philly.
859
01:02:03,897 --> 01:02:06,730
These guys are playing
the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
860
01:02:06,942 --> 01:02:09,251
Roger Staubach,
Ed Jones, Randy White.
861
01:02:10,738 --> 01:02:13,332
They need a football player.
They don't need me.
862
01:02:14,575 --> 01:02:15,849
Look, Vince...
863
01:02:15,993 --> 01:02:19,303
Look, it was gonna happen
sooner rather than later, Pop, right?
864
01:02:19,621 --> 01:02:21,976
I'm just tired of letting everybody down.
865
01:02:22,249 --> 01:02:24,001
You know, Sharon, the school.
866
01:02:24,168 --> 01:02:27,717
And everything that's going on
with you and Tommy and everybody.
867
01:02:28,255 --> 01:02:30,849
I mean, that's what's gonna
make tomorrow hard.
868
01:02:35,763 --> 01:02:36,878
You know how I used to tell you
869
01:02:37,014 --> 01:02:40,290
about Van Buren
scoring that touchdown back in '48?
870
01:02:40,684 --> 01:02:42,037
Yeah, I know.
871
01:02:42,978 --> 01:02:44,047
I know.
872
01:02:47,066 --> 01:02:51,344
That touchdown got me
through 30 years at that factory.
873
01:02:52,529 --> 01:02:55,407
Got me through all those times
your mother being sick.
874
01:02:59,244 --> 01:03:02,520
When I told you
not to get your hopes up,
875
01:03:04,917 --> 01:03:06,873
didn't mean that I wasn't.
876
01:03:08,629 --> 01:03:09,664
Okay?
877
01:03:30,609 --> 01:03:33,521
Okay, so we got one receiver slot open.
878
01:03:34,655 --> 01:03:36,486
It's either Sampson or Papale.
879
01:03:36,699 --> 01:03:38,894
Let's just go around the table.
880
01:03:39,660 --> 01:03:41,013
Sampson.
881
01:03:41,662 --> 01:03:43,095
Sampson.
882
01:03:45,499 --> 01:03:46,568
Sampson.
883
01:03:47,167 --> 01:03:49,556
But it's closer
than I thought it would be.
884
01:03:50,504 --> 01:03:51,732
Sampson.
885
01:04:01,014 --> 01:04:02,811
Your job's hard enough, Dick.
886
01:04:03,308 --> 01:04:06,186
Go with a guy like Papale next year,
once you've established yourself.
887
01:04:06,395 --> 01:04:09,865
You've got Mr Tose, the media,
everyone breathing down your neck.
888
01:04:10,399 --> 01:04:12,390
A good share of the veterans
don't even like him.
889
01:04:12,568 --> 01:04:13,796
He's got heart.
890
01:04:14,028 --> 01:04:16,781
People don't want heart, Dick.
They want wins.
891
01:04:26,123 --> 01:04:27,317
Knock, knock.
892
01:04:28,042 --> 01:04:29,760
- Hey.
- Remember us?
893
01:04:30,044 --> 01:04:31,159
Yes.
894
01:04:34,548 --> 01:04:35,742
I needed this.
895
01:04:36,467 --> 01:04:40,016
- Hey, Dad, can I try on the helmets?
- Yes. They're right over there.
896
01:04:40,262 --> 01:04:42,059
Put them back where you found them,
though, all right?
897
01:04:42,222 --> 01:04:43,291
Right.
898
01:04:44,099 --> 01:04:46,294
- They wanted to bring you dinner.
- Wow!
899
01:04:47,227 --> 01:04:48,501
I guess we're a little late.
900
01:04:48,645 --> 01:04:49,839
- No, I want it.
- No, I want it.
901
01:04:49,980 --> 01:04:51,971
No, this is great. This is great.
902
01:04:56,362 --> 01:04:59,513
- You look exhausted.
- Well, thank you.
903
01:05:00,991 --> 01:05:02,310
What's going on?
904
01:05:03,077 --> 01:05:04,396
No, we're just...
905
01:05:05,454 --> 01:05:07,809
We're thinking
about letting go of Papale.
906
01:05:08,207 --> 01:05:10,482
"We"? Isn't that your decision?
907
01:05:12,961 --> 01:05:14,758
This time it's a little different.
908
01:05:14,922 --> 01:05:17,959
But you said he was somebody
you could build a team around.
909
01:05:18,175 --> 01:05:21,053
Carol, there's a lot of other things
to consider here.
910
01:05:25,474 --> 01:05:28,864
What was it that you used to say
to your kids at Hillsdale High?
911
01:05:29,103 --> 01:05:31,856
That character is tested
when you're up against it?
912
01:05:32,481 --> 01:05:33,550
Yeah.
913
01:05:33,691 --> 01:05:36,967
And that's not the problem here.
He's got plenty of character.
914
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:39,185
Who said I was talking about him?
915
01:05:52,543 --> 01:05:54,693
Papale, coach wants to see you.
916
01:05:57,047 --> 01:05:58,082
Hey.
917
01:05:59,967 --> 01:06:01,559
- About time he's out of here.
- Yeah.
918
01:06:01,719 --> 01:06:03,869
Got ourselves a roster. Hear that?
919
01:06:04,972 --> 01:06:06,246
Good times, baby.
920
01:06:11,186 --> 01:06:12,744
- Hey, coach.
- Hey, Vince.
921
01:06:12,896 --> 01:06:14,648
Come on in. Close the door.
922
01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:27,066
We haven't had much of a chance
to talk, have we?
923
01:06:27,244 --> 01:06:28,279
Not really.
924
01:06:30,831 --> 01:06:32,230
How you holding up?
925
01:06:32,499 --> 01:06:35,093
Well, couple bumps here and there,
nothing bad.
926
01:06:36,170 --> 01:06:38,730
So, how you doing, coach?
You hanging in okay?
927
01:06:41,508 --> 01:06:43,419
Couple of bumps here and there.
928
01:06:45,262 --> 01:06:46,297
I'm all right.
929
01:06:46,430 --> 01:06:49,103
It's not college, that's for sure.
Everything about it's a little...
930
01:06:49,308 --> 01:06:51,697
A little faster, little harder.
931
01:06:52,436 --> 01:06:54,074
I'm sure you can relate.
932
01:06:55,898 --> 01:06:59,368
Just wanna thank you for sticking
with me for this long, coach.
933
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:09,453
Why don't you hang on to that
for a few more months?
934
01:07:16,085 --> 01:07:17,598
Welcome to the Eagles.
935
01:07:32,768 --> 01:07:35,999
When's the last time you've gone
two days without you needing a jump?
936
01:07:36,230 --> 01:07:38,585
- Sorry. I tried Pete.
- Are you kidding me?
937
01:07:39,692 --> 01:07:42,525
His car's worse than yours.
You'd both be stuck here.
938
01:07:45,030 --> 01:07:46,349
Your cable's good.
939
01:07:49,743 --> 01:07:51,495
Looks like you got a charge.
940
01:07:53,288 --> 01:07:55,722
Hey, buddy,
you sure this thing won't start?
941
01:07:58,961 --> 01:08:00,235
You kidding me?
942
01:08:03,257 --> 01:08:05,976
- You kidding with me right now?
- Nope.
943
01:08:08,679 --> 01:08:10,749
You're a freaking Eagle, aren't you?
944
01:08:11,181 --> 01:08:13,695
You're a freaking Philadelphia Eagle!
945
01:08:15,477 --> 01:08:18,514
- I wanted you to know first.
- This is huge.
946
01:08:18,856 --> 01:08:20,892
This is bigger than when
Tony Pantalano came back from Nam
947
01:08:21,066 --> 01:08:22,465
with the Bronze Star.
948
01:08:23,610 --> 01:08:24,929
Give me the keys.
949
01:08:25,946 --> 01:08:29,177
Let's go to Max's. You're buying.
950
01:08:30,159 --> 01:08:31,228
Hey.
951
01:08:31,368 --> 01:08:34,166
So, how you doing with the strike
and everything? You all right?
952
01:08:34,371 --> 01:08:35,520
I'm good now.
953
01:08:36,832 --> 01:08:37,947
I'm good now.
954
01:08:42,254 --> 01:08:44,131
Philadelphia Eagles!
955
01:08:44,673 --> 01:08:45,947
Yo, get in here!
956
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:48,988
He's at the 40.
957
01:08:49,136 --> 01:08:51,366
- He's at the 30.
- Yo, look who it is. Yo!
958
01:08:51,555 --> 01:08:52,829
- He's at the 20.
- He's at the 20.
959
01:08:52,973 --> 01:08:58,366
Number 83, Vince Papale
of the Philadelphia Eagles!
960
01:09:01,148 --> 01:09:04,060
- My bartender, right here.
- Congratulations.
961
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,237
I was gonna call you this week.
962
01:09:08,197 --> 01:09:11,633
E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles!
963
01:09:13,744 --> 01:09:16,975
Yo! You!
Harold Carmichael, Bill Bergey.
964
01:09:17,206 --> 01:09:18,685
You're gonna be playing
with these guys.
965
01:09:18,832 --> 01:09:19,981
That's right.
966
01:09:20,626 --> 01:09:21,695
You did it.
967
01:09:24,296 --> 01:09:26,730
Your seats are gonna be
so much better than ours this year.
968
01:09:26,924 --> 01:09:28,801
Yeah, don't go giving mine away,
all right?
969
01:09:28,967 --> 01:09:30,719
I know where you're sitting.
970
01:09:33,097 --> 01:09:34,132
Kingie.
971
01:09:38,143 --> 01:09:40,532
- Hey, Pop.
- Come here.
972
01:09:42,022 --> 01:09:44,252
Stevie Van Buren's got nothing on you.
973
01:09:44,692 --> 01:09:46,330
Thanks, Pop.
974
01:09:46,485 --> 01:09:48,919
Maxie, line 'em up. It's my turn to buy.
975
01:10:00,249 --> 01:10:02,444
- From the Eagle's dad?
- From the Eagle.
976
01:10:14,888 --> 01:10:17,800
- Thanks, Maxie. Tonight was great.
- Forget it.
977
01:10:19,351 --> 01:10:22,661
There is something important
I wanna talk to you about, though.
978
01:10:23,313 --> 01:10:26,828
I've decided you can pay me back
anytime you want.
979
01:10:28,068 --> 01:10:29,183
First cheque.
980
01:10:30,654 --> 01:10:32,690
- I'm proud of you, Vince.
- Thanks.
981
01:10:33,782 --> 01:10:36,501
Let me ask you a question, Maxie.
About Johnny.
982
01:10:37,745 --> 01:10:41,533
He's scared, that's all.
Put yourself in his place.
983
01:10:42,124 --> 01:10:44,115
I don't even know what's going on,
you know, in his mind.
984
01:10:44,293 --> 01:10:46,727
I mean, he's been doing nothing
but riding me the past few weeks.
985
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:48,069
Yeah, I know.
986
01:10:50,007 --> 01:10:51,838
He thinks you're gonna leave.
987
01:10:52,593 --> 01:10:54,151
This is the worst time in his life
right now.
988
01:10:54,303 --> 01:10:56,214
He's got no job. He's got no family.
989
01:10:56,388 --> 01:10:57,707
He's just got us.
990
01:10:58,640 --> 01:10:59,914
You're one of us.
991
01:11:01,018 --> 01:11:03,213
You know how it works in South Philly.
992
01:11:03,604 --> 01:11:06,038
Our strength has always been
in our numbers.
993
01:11:17,951 --> 01:11:19,145
Give it to me.
994
01:11:38,597 --> 01:11:40,872
That's right. Get your game face on.
995
01:12:04,915 --> 01:12:06,826
Must have been something I ate.
996
01:12:07,835 --> 01:12:10,224
Oh, yeah. Room service.
997
01:12:11,380 --> 01:12:12,529
Definitely.
998
01:12:23,475 --> 01:12:25,033
Cowboy fans...
999
01:12:40,617 --> 01:12:44,166
Blue skies, 81 degrees,
a great day for the season opener.
1000
01:12:44,413 --> 01:12:46,449
- There he is.
- No one's expecting miracles today,
1001
01:12:46,623 --> 01:12:48,659
but all eyes will be
on coach Dick Vermeil's team
1002
01:12:48,834 --> 01:12:51,428
as they take on
the defending NFC champions.
1003
01:12:56,508 --> 01:12:57,577
Come on.
1004
01:13:11,148 --> 01:13:14,777
And now the crowd welcomes
Tom Landry, NFC Coach of the Year.
1005
01:13:17,237 --> 01:13:19,193
Come on, guys. Come on. Come on.
1006
01:13:24,286 --> 01:13:25,639
Philadelphia calls it.
1007
01:13:25,788 --> 01:13:27,779
- Heads.
- Philadelphia calls heads.
1008
01:13:29,041 --> 01:13:30,360
- Tails.
- We want the ball.
1009
01:13:30,501 --> 01:13:32,332
- Dallas will receive.
- All right, kick team.
1010
01:13:32,503 --> 01:13:33,572
Let's go.
1011
01:13:36,673 --> 01:13:38,823
Bring it in here. Come on, come on.
1012
01:13:39,009 --> 01:13:41,967
- Attack on three. One, two, three.
- Attack!
1013
01:13:45,265 --> 01:13:46,414
Let's go win!
1014
01:13:47,142 --> 01:13:48,814
Watch your outsides!
1015
01:13:48,977 --> 01:13:52,049
Watch your lanes. Watch your lanes.
1016
01:13:56,193 --> 01:13:58,832
- Go, Vinnie.
- All right, here we go.
1017
01:13:59,029 --> 01:14:00,064
There he is.
1018
01:14:05,828 --> 01:14:08,740
And the first game
of the regular season is underway.
1019
01:14:30,352 --> 01:14:31,671
Let's go, defence!
1020
01:14:38,569 --> 01:14:41,288
Rookie Vince Papale
had an absolute bead on the runner,
1021
01:14:41,488 --> 01:14:43,877
but he froze
like a deer in the headlights.
1022
01:14:44,575 --> 01:14:46,213
Oh, man, that wasn't good.
1023
01:14:52,750 --> 01:14:54,820
All right, let's go, guys. Let's go.
1024
01:14:55,044 --> 01:14:56,602
- Sorry, coach.
- You're sorry?
1025
01:14:56,754 --> 01:14:58,346
I stuck my neck out for you.
1026
01:14:58,505 --> 01:15:00,814
You start playing football
or you're gone.
1027
01:15:08,265 --> 01:15:09,493
Losers!
1028
01:15:21,779 --> 01:15:23,098
What happened, coach?
1029
01:15:23,238 --> 01:15:24,717
- We missed the wedge.
- He froze.
1030
01:15:24,865 --> 01:15:26,298
He got outside us.
1031
01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:34,264
Blue 17. Set.
1032
01:15:34,458 --> 01:15:35,652
Hut! Hut!
1033
01:15:41,423 --> 01:15:42,981
Yeah. Yeah.
1034
01:15:59,316 --> 01:16:01,989
We lose all six
of our preseason games, now this.
1035
01:16:04,363 --> 01:16:05,478
0 and 7.
1036
01:16:05,823 --> 01:16:08,462
It's not exactly
the direction I was hoping for.
1037
01:16:19,503 --> 01:16:20,822
It'll get better. Come on.
1038
01:16:20,963 --> 01:16:23,079
Could be another long season,
Eagle fans.
1039
01:16:23,257 --> 01:16:25,930
Not only was the team
no match at all for the Cowboys,
1040
01:16:26,135 --> 01:16:29,605
but South Philly's Vince Papale
was a total bust in his pro debut.
1041
01:16:30,222 --> 01:16:32,531
Coach Dick Vermeil's heart
may have been in the right place,
1042
01:16:32,725 --> 01:16:36,161
but this team needs players right now,
not 30-year-old bartenders.
1043
01:17:09,928 --> 01:17:10,997
Hey.
1044
01:17:11,847 --> 01:17:12,962
Hey.
1045
01:17:13,557 --> 01:17:15,195
What are you doing here?
1046
01:17:15,351 --> 01:17:16,989
I was just walking around.
1047
01:17:19,897 --> 01:17:21,808
I needed to tell you something.
1048
01:17:22,066 --> 01:17:24,864
- You know that night at Colombo's, I...
- You don't need to explain.
1049
01:17:25,069 --> 01:17:26,468
I know, but please.
1050
01:17:27,905 --> 01:17:30,897
It wasn't that I was just thinking
about that one thing.
1051
01:17:31,742 --> 01:17:34,461
I was just scared because
I knew the way I could feel about you,
1052
01:17:34,661 --> 01:17:37,016
and it was just too soon.
At least for me.
1053
01:17:39,249 --> 01:17:41,365
I don't know what's gonna happen
with all this.
1054
01:17:41,543 --> 01:17:43,693
Even if I never got to see you again,
1055
01:17:44,213 --> 01:17:46,932
you go off, you get married,
you have five kids,
1056
01:17:49,593 --> 01:17:51,948
I just wanted to let you know how I felt.
1057
01:17:55,099 --> 01:17:56,327
I can't, Vince.
1058
01:18:00,938 --> 01:18:01,973
Yeah.
1059
01:18:03,649 --> 01:18:05,685
Well, maybe I'll see you at work?
1060
01:18:19,623 --> 01:18:22,262
If we run into that this week,
and there's a good chance we will,
1061
01:18:22,459 --> 01:18:24,814
we'll work deep to short,
highllow the corner.
1062
01:18:25,003 --> 01:18:28,154
The corner bites, first option
will be Carmichael. Okay?
1063
01:18:28,382 --> 01:18:30,259
If he falls off, Mike,
you stick your foot in the ground
1064
01:18:30,426 --> 01:18:32,223
and you get rid of the ball fast.
1065
01:18:32,386 --> 01:18:35,503
You hesitated last week. We can't
afford it. Charlie will be right here.
1066
01:18:35,723 --> 01:18:38,283
Take the short man
if the long man's not there.
1067
01:18:38,809 --> 01:18:41,403
We can't hesitate, guys.
Let's take what the defence gives us
1068
01:18:41,603 --> 01:18:42,831
and let's move the chains.
1069
01:18:47,317 --> 01:18:49,877
Hustle, hustle, Jared. Go deep.
1070
01:18:50,070 --> 01:18:51,469
Oh, come on.
1071
01:18:52,489 --> 01:18:55,128
- Ball, ball!
- Oh. I got you, I got you.
1072
01:18:55,325 --> 01:18:56,360
Got it!
1073
01:18:57,828 --> 01:18:59,102
Wait up! Wait up!
1074
01:19:38,452 --> 01:19:39,646
Go, go, go.
1075
01:19:39,787 --> 01:19:40,936
Bring it on!
1076
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:42,308
Yeah!
1077
01:19:42,456 --> 01:19:43,935
Come on. Go, go.
1078
01:19:44,083 --> 01:19:46,278
Take your boy back.
Take your boy back.
1079
01:19:48,962 --> 01:19:49,997
- Mick.
- What?
1080
01:19:50,130 --> 01:19:52,405
What's up with that? Huh? Mick.
1081
01:19:52,591 --> 01:19:54,422
What? Was that, like, a late hit?
1082
01:19:54,593 --> 01:19:55,821
What'd I do?
1083
01:19:55,969 --> 01:19:57,004
Let's go.
1084
01:19:59,890 --> 01:20:02,245
Time-out, Mick!
All right, come on, let's go.
1085
01:20:02,434 --> 01:20:05,426
- Everybody over to the side.
- Oh, dear.
1086
01:20:05,729 --> 01:20:07,560
Hustle up. Let's go. Hustle.
1087
01:20:07,731 --> 01:20:09,483
You gotta hit him low, man.
1088
01:20:13,570 --> 01:20:15,003
What are you doing here?
1089
01:20:15,155 --> 01:20:17,225
You come to watch us
get dragged through the mud?
1090
01:20:17,408 --> 01:20:19,239
No, I was just driving around.
1091
01:20:20,452 --> 01:20:21,646
You know, Vince,
1092
01:20:21,787 --> 01:20:24,699
I don't know how much longer
the Eagles are gonna need you,
1093
01:20:24,915 --> 01:20:27,634
but your friends could use a little help.
1094
01:20:30,462 --> 01:20:33,659
I got a game this weekend.
I can't, Johnny.
1095
01:20:35,008 --> 01:20:36,646
Come on now, guys. Come on now.
1096
01:20:36,802 --> 01:20:38,872
Get in there.
1097
01:20:39,179 --> 01:20:40,373
Shake it off.
1098
01:20:44,018 --> 01:20:46,168
I'm not throwing you the ball at all.
It's my ball.
1099
01:20:46,353 --> 01:20:48,503
Come on, we got this.
Come on, come on. I mean, we got this.
1100
01:20:48,689 --> 01:20:49,917
- Come on, baby.
- We got this.
1101
01:20:50,065 --> 01:20:52,659
Tone, you're down. Pat, you're in.
Let's go.
1102
01:20:53,902 --> 01:20:56,257
Come on.
Put the ball into play. Let's go.
1103
01:20:59,992 --> 01:21:02,950
- Knock his teeth out.
- I got you, man.
1104
01:21:20,679 --> 01:21:22,874
- Let's go, man.
- Let's go. Let's play.
1105
01:21:23,057 --> 01:21:24,775
- Come on, let's go.
- Line up.
1106
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:27,879
So what? It don't matter.
1107
01:21:28,020 --> 01:21:29,738
You're nuts, you know that?
1108
01:21:30,814 --> 01:21:32,247
- What's up, Max?
- What's up, Vince?
1109
01:21:32,399 --> 01:21:33,718
Good to see you.
1110
01:21:35,402 --> 01:21:37,074
Let's just play some ball.
1111
01:21:42,534 --> 01:21:45,970
We're gonna pass through the rain
and you can't stop us.
1112
01:21:57,049 --> 01:21:58,198
Down!
1113
01:21:59,051 --> 01:22:00,882
Set. Hut!
1114
01:22:36,422 --> 01:22:37,491
Huddle up.
1115
01:22:38,674 --> 01:22:39,743
On one.
1116
01:22:39,883 --> 01:22:41,953
Ready? Break.
1117
01:23:04,241 --> 01:23:06,596
Vince, you okay?
1118
01:23:07,995 --> 01:23:10,509
Never better, Maxie. Never better.
1119
01:23:17,671 --> 01:23:19,468
Play ball!
1120
01:23:28,682 --> 01:23:29,876
Down!
1121
01:23:30,434 --> 01:23:32,629
Set. Hut.
1122
01:23:50,746 --> 01:23:52,065
Yes!
1123
01:23:59,129 --> 01:24:00,562
Yeah!
1124
01:24:02,716 --> 01:24:03,751
Yeah.
1125
01:24:05,219 --> 01:24:06,254
Yes!
1126
01:24:10,057 --> 01:24:12,093
- Good try, all right?
- Definitely.
1127
01:24:12,267 --> 01:24:13,541
Good game, guys.
1128
01:24:14,853 --> 01:24:17,890
Come on. Come on, let's get a drink.
Let's get a drink.
1129
01:24:18,107 --> 01:24:19,859
Tanker boys are buying again.
1130
01:24:20,025 --> 01:24:22,220
- Good game, guys.
- Yo, Vince.
1131
01:24:24,571 --> 01:24:26,926
Even if this is your last game
with the Eagles,
1132
01:24:27,116 --> 01:24:29,630
win one for the boys
in the neighbourhood, huh?
1133
01:24:33,330 --> 01:24:34,365
Hey!
1134
01:24:47,469 --> 01:24:48,743
- Hi.
- Hey.
1135
01:24:49,054 --> 01:24:50,123
Vince...
1136
01:24:50,556 --> 01:24:52,467
Oh, my God, are you all...
1137
01:24:52,850 --> 01:24:54,408
- What happened?
- No, it's nothing.
1138
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,757
Maxie and the boys needed a little help
with the game tonight.
1139
01:24:57,980 --> 01:24:59,299
You're the help?
1140
01:25:00,232 --> 01:25:02,029
What do those guys look like?
1141
01:25:02,359 --> 01:25:04,429
It's good to see you. How you doing?
1142
01:25:05,362 --> 01:25:06,761
I'm good.
1143
01:25:09,742 --> 01:25:11,653
What you said the other night...
1144
01:25:14,538 --> 01:25:17,655
I don't know, I guess
I needed a couple days to hear it.
1145
01:25:18,667 --> 01:25:21,227
So if you still...
1146
01:25:27,176 --> 01:25:28,370
I wasn't done.
1147
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:36,033
I can finish later.
1148
01:25:43,984 --> 01:25:45,133
Morning.
1149
01:25:48,781 --> 01:25:49,975
Get any sleep?
1150
01:25:52,242 --> 01:25:53,561
Not too much.
1151
01:25:54,787 --> 01:25:56,220
Neither did I.
1152
01:26:01,210 --> 01:26:02,245
Well, look at it this way.
1153
01:26:02,378 --> 01:26:05,893
If it doesn't work out, at least
we'll have a great lawn back in LA.
1154
01:26:09,176 --> 01:26:10,404
Give 'em hell.
1155
01:26:29,321 --> 01:26:31,994
- Wanna get out of my seat?
- Hey!
1156
01:26:32,199 --> 01:26:35,430
- I said, get out of my seat.
- Hey! Hey!
1157
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,229
Come on.
1158
01:26:39,373 --> 01:26:41,523
- Never mind.
- Thank you.
1159
01:26:42,126 --> 01:26:44,959
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Get her out of here!
1160
01:26:45,170 --> 01:26:47,684
Hey. She's with us. Relax.
1161
01:26:49,383 --> 01:26:51,055
You're not a real Eagles fan.
1162
01:26:51,218 --> 01:26:52,253
- E-A...
- Shut your mouth!
1163
01:26:52,386 --> 01:26:53,421
...G- L...
- Shut your mouth.
1164
01:26:53,554 --> 01:26:55,510
...E- S.
- Go, Giants.
1165
01:26:59,518 --> 01:27:03,306
A team with character will find a way
to beat a team with better talent.
1166
01:27:03,647 --> 01:27:04,921
I believe that.
1167
01:27:05,357 --> 01:27:08,633
And you guys are not the team
that's short on talent here today.
1168
01:27:08,861 --> 01:27:12,092
And I swear you'll never again
be the team short on character.
1169
01:27:12,698 --> 01:27:15,132
We need to find
the soul of this team again.
1170
01:27:15,617 --> 01:27:17,847
The soul that drove
great Eagle players.
1171
01:27:18,162 --> 01:27:20,073
Players like Norm Van Brocklin,
1172
01:27:20,873 --> 01:27:24,024
Tommy McDonald, Steve Van Buren.
1173
01:27:24,668 --> 01:27:28,502
They weren't just out here playing
for themselves. They played for a city.
1174
01:27:28,756 --> 01:27:30,906
People of Philadelphia have suffered.
1175
01:27:31,175 --> 01:27:33,689
You are what they turn to
in times like these.
1176
01:27:34,053 --> 01:27:36,089
You are what gives them hope.
1177
01:27:41,935 --> 01:27:43,493
Let's win one for them.
1178
01:27:46,982 --> 01:27:49,018
Let's win one for us. Bring it in.
1179
01:27:52,905 --> 01:27:54,896
- One, two, three.
- Eagles!
1180
01:28:01,789 --> 01:28:03,108
We're the Eagles.
1181
01:28:21,225 --> 01:28:22,658
Ladies and gentlemen,
1182
01:28:22,810 --> 01:28:26,280
let's welcome
your Philadelphia Eagles.
1183
01:28:27,731 --> 01:28:30,723
The Eagles now receiving a mixed
greeting from the fans here at the Vet.
1184
01:28:30,943 --> 01:28:33,138
No surprise,
given the start to their season.
1185
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:35,788
Six consecutive losses
in the preseason,
1186
01:28:35,989 --> 01:28:38,503
followed by last Sunday's
embarrassing loss in Dallas.
1187
01:28:38,701 --> 01:28:39,736
Break.
1188
01:28:39,868 --> 01:28:42,063
Special teams were a disaster
last weekend.
1189
01:28:42,246 --> 01:28:44,965
If the Eagles are to have
any shot today,
1190
01:28:45,165 --> 01:28:48,555
they need to make a statement
right here and right now.
1191
01:29:05,060 --> 01:29:06,254
No return.
1192
01:29:11,483 --> 01:29:13,474
And the kick is away.
1193
01:29:17,573 --> 01:29:19,484
It is taken near the goal line.
1194
01:29:27,916 --> 01:29:29,827
What a hit to start things off.
1195
01:29:30,002 --> 01:29:33,677
Vince Papale putting the Giants
back inside their own 15.
1196
01:29:36,925 --> 01:29:39,280
He's pointing at me.
He's pointing at me.
1197
01:29:39,470 --> 01:29:43,349
What a turnaround from last week,
when Papale could do nothing right.
1198
01:29:45,976 --> 01:29:48,126
There you go. Good speed.
Nice, Vince.
1199
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,516
- All right, baby, this one's for...
- What a hit, baby. What a hit.
1200
01:29:51,732 --> 01:29:53,131
All right, let's go.
1201
01:29:55,736 --> 01:29:56,930
53...
1202
01:30:01,784 --> 01:30:03,422
Red 32. Hut.
1203
01:30:10,626 --> 01:30:12,935
27. Hut, hike.
1204
01:30:16,507 --> 01:30:17,576
Hut.
1205
01:30:19,968 --> 01:30:21,959
Craig Morton, rolling out to the right.
1206
01:30:22,137 --> 01:30:24,446
He's got an open receiver
in the end zone.
1207
01:30:25,224 --> 01:30:26,942
Touchdown, Giants.
1208
01:30:28,102 --> 01:30:30,297
And New York draws first blood.
1209
01:30:31,063 --> 01:30:32,815
- This is our house.
- Sit down!
1210
01:30:32,981 --> 01:30:34,096
Hey. Hey.
1211
01:30:34,692 --> 01:30:37,604
I told you, Andy, one more time.
Come here.
1212
01:30:39,071 --> 01:30:40,106
Hut.
1213
01:30:44,535 --> 01:30:45,604
Hut.
1214
01:30:52,584 --> 01:30:55,337
Okay, we're gonna go far left for 28,
pass right. Okay?
1215
01:30:55,546 --> 01:30:57,138
Come on, Mike, take care of that ball!
1216
01:30:57,297 --> 01:30:58,366
Hut.
1217
01:31:02,553 --> 01:31:06,182
Boryla with a nice play-action fake,
looking, moving out to his right.
1218
01:31:07,599 --> 01:31:09,032
He's got Carmichael.
1219
01:31:09,768 --> 01:31:11,042
- Touchdown, Eagles.
- Yes!
1220
01:31:11,186 --> 01:31:12,221
No!
1221
01:31:13,564 --> 01:31:15,634
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah!
1222
01:31:15,858 --> 01:31:18,611
Eagles and Giants now deadlocked
at 7-7.
1223
01:31:18,819 --> 01:31:20,616
Let's get some points up.
1224
01:31:22,114 --> 01:31:24,025
Stick him, T.J. Come on.
1225
01:31:40,382 --> 01:31:43,021
A brilliant open-field tackle by Papale.
1226
01:31:44,762 --> 01:31:46,081
That was Papale!
1227
01:31:48,182 --> 01:31:49,217
Yeah.
1228
01:31:49,850 --> 01:31:51,488
Somebody block that guy.
1229
01:31:56,857 --> 01:31:59,610
That's the way it's done. That's football.
1230
01:32:01,570 --> 01:32:02,605
Yeah.
1231
01:32:06,408 --> 01:32:08,524
Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!
1232
01:32:08,702 --> 01:32:10,693
And listen to this crowd right now.
1233
01:32:10,871 --> 01:32:11,986
Eagles! Eagles! Eagles!
1234
01:32:12,122 --> 01:32:14,716
How long has it been
since we've heard that?
1235
01:32:17,419 --> 01:32:19,330
The Eagles, drawing new life
from this crowd.
1236
01:32:19,505 --> 01:32:22,542
But this game has become
what we knew it would be all along,
1237
01:32:22,758 --> 01:32:26,353
a grind-it-out defensive struggle
in which every yard is hard to get.
1238
01:32:29,890 --> 01:32:32,723
Again, the Eagles have been
completely shut down.
1239
01:32:33,852 --> 01:32:35,444
Hut.
1240
01:32:52,204 --> 01:32:54,354
- Punt, punt.
- Come on, team, let's go.
1241
01:32:54,748 --> 01:32:56,306
- Andy! Andy.
- It's Frank.
1242
01:32:56,458 --> 01:32:58,608
Okay, Frank, they're holding
my receivers all day long.
1243
01:32:58,794 --> 01:33:02,104
Eight minutes to go, fourth quarter,
game tied at 14 apiece.
1244
01:33:50,262 --> 01:33:52,776
Late in the game now,
only a minute 20 to play,
1245
01:33:52,973 --> 01:33:56,727
and the Eagles facing a key third
and 10 from their own five-yard line.
1246
01:34:00,189 --> 01:34:03,420
Sullivan hit in the backfield.
Now finding some running room.
1247
01:34:19,917 --> 01:34:20,986
Yeah!
1248
01:34:21,126 --> 01:34:23,799
And he's brought down
very close to a first down.
1249
01:34:27,299 --> 01:34:29,859
- Official time-out for a measurement.
- Come on.
1250
01:34:30,052 --> 01:34:31,485
Now, if the Eagles pick up
the first down,
1251
01:34:31,637 --> 01:34:34,947
they'll still have a long way to go
for a go-ahead score.
1252
01:34:37,351 --> 01:34:38,466
It's short.
1253
01:34:38,602 --> 01:34:39,751
- Yeah!
- Damn.
1254
01:34:39,895 --> 01:34:41,010
Denied!
1255
01:34:41,146 --> 01:34:43,819
And they are short by inches.
1256
01:34:44,733 --> 01:34:45,927
- Fourth down.
- Yeah.
1257
01:34:46,068 --> 01:34:47,103
Punt team.
1258
01:34:48,862 --> 01:34:49,931
Tight punt.
1259
01:34:55,619 --> 01:34:57,575
Eagle fans are not happy
with the decision to punt,
1260
01:34:57,746 --> 01:35:00,214
but Vermeil,
not taking any chances here.
1261
01:35:00,416 --> 01:35:02,213
Now hoping for overtime.
1262
01:35:03,001 --> 01:35:04,753
Relax, relax.
1263
01:35:05,170 --> 01:35:06,285
Listen up. Tight punt.
1264
01:35:06,422 --> 01:35:08,219
Good job. Keep it safe. Safe.
1265
01:35:08,757 --> 01:35:11,271
- This is a huge play for both teams.
- Break.
1266
01:35:11,552 --> 01:35:14,271
No room for mistakes on either side.
1267
01:35:15,014 --> 01:35:17,244
Watch for the Giants
to go for the block.
1268
01:35:17,433 --> 01:35:18,912
I'm coming in, baby.
1269
01:35:19,059 --> 01:35:21,289
- 61. 61.
- Overload right.
1270
01:35:23,230 --> 01:35:24,424
Come on, baby.
1271
01:35:26,483 --> 01:35:27,962
Come on. We got this.
1272
01:35:31,030 --> 01:35:32,941
- Check Zorro. Check Zorro.
- What?
1273
01:35:33,115 --> 01:35:34,389
What did he call?
1274
01:35:35,617 --> 01:35:37,175
Check Zorro. Check Zorro.
1275
01:35:37,327 --> 01:35:39,363
It appears the Eagles are calling
a last-second audible
1276
01:35:39,538 --> 01:35:40,766
changing the play.
1277
01:35:40,914 --> 01:35:42,108
Check, check.
1278
01:35:42,249 --> 01:35:44,205
- What the hell is he doing?
- Here we go, Vince.
1279
01:35:44,376 --> 01:35:46,128
- Watch the fake.
- First down.
1280
01:35:52,301 --> 01:35:53,370
Yeah!
1281
01:35:53,510 --> 01:35:56,104
And Papale with a tremendous break
on the ball.
1282
01:36:05,189 --> 01:36:06,258
Fumble.
1283
01:36:06,565 --> 01:36:07,600
Yeah!
1284
01:36:13,655 --> 01:36:14,883
Come on, Vince.
1285
01:36:17,993 --> 01:36:19,346
He got the ball!
1286
01:36:24,083 --> 01:36:26,597
- Come on, Vince!
- Go.
1287
01:36:33,175 --> 01:36:35,769
- Papale's at the 40.
- Come on, Vince.
1288
01:36:35,969 --> 01:36:39,279
The 30. The 20. The 10.
1289
01:36:43,477 --> 01:36:45,354
- Oh, my God.
- Go, go, go!
1290
01:36:45,521 --> 01:36:46,556
That's it.
1291
01:36:53,570 --> 01:36:55,083
- Yes!
- Unbelievable.
1292
01:36:55,239 --> 01:36:57,230
This is just unbelievable.
1293
01:37:02,371 --> 01:37:03,440
- Yes!
- Yeah.
1294
01:37:03,580 --> 01:37:04,774
That's my boy!
1295
01:37:26,353 --> 01:37:27,945
That's your boy, Kingie.
1296
01:37:40,784 --> 01:37:43,059
That's the sound
we've been looking for.
1297
01:37:49,043 --> 01:37:51,159
- Yes!
- Go! Go! Go!
1298
01:37:51,378 --> 01:37:53,448
- Yes!
- Oh, yeah!
1299
01:37:53,630 --> 01:37:55,222
Go, Vince.
