Approach to the Game – New York Giants at Arizona Cardinals, November 26, 2000: This game is not about X’s and O’s. It is about three little words with big meanings:
Compete: To strive or struggle with another or others to attain a goal, such as gaining an advantage or winning a victory; to try to do or be better than someone else
Tenacious: Determined, dogged, unyielding, persistent, obstinate
Pride: Your feelings of your own worth and respect for yourself; a sense of one’s own proper dignity or value; pleasure or satisfaction taken in an achievement
Three little words…but they will mean all the difference in the world over the course of the next five games.
