You're proud of it. Of course, you're on your own. You appreciate it. But the thing that you're proud of is all those games are mostly just like that.

0:07.0

Preseason games that people want to write about. Some of you in here want to write about and say they don't mean anything.

0:14.0

Because you never played the game. You never were out there in preseason games. You never were fighting for a spot on the field.

0:19.0

And yet you have the audacity to say that the effort that somebody puts into that to win and fight a win a game like that is meaningless.

0:25.0

Tell me I was meaning this out there what you just saw.

0:27.0

If you like football, is that a meaningless football game? You know, I can't respect anybody that says that.

0:34.0

Oh, John Harbaugh. Tell your dad I said hi.

0:37.0

Oh boy. There's that flash. You know, the thinking in league circles has been for years that John Harbaugh is every bit as intense.

They could care less about who wins the game. They're trying to get a job on a roster.

So I think the winning is just kind of an accidental thing that maybe the guys who are on the field at the end of the game try to make it happen and the

2:06.0
