It's not as easy |

I'm all right. |

You see, lacrosse |

The Indians used it to settle |
| 00:21:46 |
They also played it as |

Make no mistake, there's |

but for men like us, it's |

what makes you different? |
| 00:22:03 |
Well, Syracuse... |
| 00:22:04 |
Not Syracuse. You. |

I'm not sure I follow |

Why don't we just let him catch |

First, when he does |

I want him to hit |

But football is just a game. |

Sometimes, when the game is close |

that's when you forget |

That's when it's just you against |
