| 0:00.0 | Life is just a game of inches, and that is the Court of the Day. |
| 0:31.0 | Welcome back to the Court of the Day show. I'm your host Sean Crox and a |
| 0:35.0 | Sean Crox and .com. If I sound a little extra fired up today, it's because I just |
| 0:40.0 | got done listening to today's clip. This one really gives me fired up. It really |
| 0:46.0 | gets me going. Why? Because it aligns so much with my philosophy on life, which as |
| 0:52.0 | you may know is this little by little, a little becomes a lot. And in this clip, |
| 0:58.0 | it's from the movie Any Given Sunday, Coach Tony D'Amato, played by Al Pacino, |

| 1:36.0 | that goal? And so the coach in this clip, again, is imploring his team to go out |
| 1:41.0 | there and win this game, but to win this game, inch by inch, gaining yard by |
| 1:47.0 | yard, moving forward, play by play, because that's the way you win. That's the way |
| 1:53.0 | you reach the goal. Real quick, there's some language in this one. I didn't want |
| 1:57.0 | to take it out because it was going to take away from the power of the clip. Here's |
| 2:00.0 | the coach. I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes through the biggest |
