“Look, wag nuts, I want to make one thing clear. When they call us underdogs, I am fully aware that some of you think it’s a good thing. It’s not! It’s just the nice way of saying we’re nothing but losers.”

“I want you, all of you, to stand during the National Anthem. If we’re not going to win, we can at least be good Americans. I don’t give a shit about what you’re protesting. First and foremost, you are good Americans.

Rudnick looked around the room and barked, “Let’s go out there and win a fucking game!”
