There's no "i" on the football field. we have a total commitment to each other when we're out there. there is no doubt. it doesn't matter. the wins and losses of the game don't resonate with us. what resonates with us is "how much effort would you give for the man next to you."

There's No "i" On The Football Field.

There's no "i" on the football field. we have a total commitment to each other when we're out there. there is no doubt. it doesn't matter. the wins and losses of the game don't resonate with us. what resonates with us is "how much effort would you give for the man next to you."

Football Commitment Loss

More From Ray Lewis

There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. for one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. the object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. this counts as six points. no points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. kicking is very important in football. in fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

Life to me is the greatest of all games. the danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. the rules matter a great deal. the game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. and even to win the game is not the chief end. the chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.

Every time there are losses, there are choices to be made. you choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame, hatred, depression and resentment, or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper.

The human heart, at whatever age, opens to the heart that opens in return.

It is said that people learn to hate each other because of little things ... not big ones. i know i have always learned to love because of little things ... i'm not at all sure that there are any big ones.

Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. it is the refusal to defeat any individual. when you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
