hut! red 38! before you're better off without me hut! martel! martel, you're a wimp! i can't believe that. martel goes for a give-up slide. he did look a little cautious. i got one foot in the grave, i could've scored on that. that could be the last play of the season. in case you haven't heard, the players' strike became official at 4 p.m. eastern time. i am very sad that the players' demands, which center around a rise in the current salary cap, have been rejected by the owners. now, i have told my union brothers to walk. get me jimmy mcginty. have him here tonight, huh? yes, sir. [coughing] i'm here with washington quarterback eddie martel, and, eddie, there are a lot of angry fans out there tonight that feel the plays are being too greedy with their demands. um, anything you'd like to say to that? yeah, dwight, look, i know 5 million a year sounds like a lot of money, but i have to pay % to my agent, 5% to my lawyer.

do you have any idea what insurance costs on a ferrari, mother-- uh, pat, uh, back to you. ok, that was washington running back malcolm lamont. madden: you know, it's all about money, folks, but, heck, isn't it always? it usually is. this is pat summerall for john madden saying so long from nextel stadium. you look like hell. welli'm dyin', jimmy. oh, ho ho ho. come on. you've been dyin' for 20 years.

i want total control of my team. i want to be able to recruit anybody that i want, no interference. [clears throat] my word is my bond. uh, i want it in writing. ok, jimmy. ok. here's a list of people i've been keeping my eye on over the years. they've all played football somewhere. not all of them in the pros, but they all have something unique to bring to the game. we're gonna take those people and try to put together a winning team. if nothing else... they should be fun to watch. daniel bateman-- s.w.a.t. team officer, awarded a purple heart for losing a kidney during the gulf war. ha ha ha ha ha! aah, yeah! he was a walk-on at michigan state before he gave up football to sneak back in the service for one more tour of duty. clifford franklin--

[people singing] nigel gruff-- a striker out of cardiff, now residing in hell's kitchen. they call him "the leg" because he can kick a soccer ball the entire length of the field and score.

[sighs] i'm retired. retired, huh? well, it looks like things have gone real well for you since. i got no complaints. it's quiet here. nobody bothers me. well, that's the great thing about plankton, you know, uh, it pretty much keeps to itself. you know what separates the winners from the losers, kid? the score. gettin' back up on that horse after you've been kicked in the teeth. i've watched films of your game since the sugar bowl. you should have been carrying a clipboard that first year, not trying to carry the whole team.

is that how you wanna be remembered? i don't wanna be remembered at all. [chuckles] you're still young. if you do well, who knows what'll happen once the strike ends? i'm not gonna make you any promises, shane, but why don't you take a chance, huh? think it over.

why were you staying in the pocket at practice today? normally, i would neve comment to a quarterback about his style, but you need to keep scrambling against detroit, especially with prescott back in the lineup. prescott hasn't crossed. he's going to on sunday. they're keeping it quiet, so you don't have time to prepare. how do you know that? a friend of mine's a cheerleader for detroit. she tipped me off. one of my cheerleaders is friends with a girl whose sister just broke up with van ndy. she says he's been on a drinking binge ever since she left him. yeah? he's hung over! he's a good second slower off the snap than usual. so i should stick to t right side. unless what they say about martinez is true. oh, wow. that was fun. this is great, you live out here. which one's yours? uh, it's over here. you see that white yacht with the satellite dish? oh, my... i'm the old houseboat next to it, covered in seagull stuff.

[laughing] we got this. we got this. um, y'all want to put the car back? this is none of your business, gentlemen. shane's our business. we're the guards, and we protect our quarterback.

we lost, not because of effort or desire, but because of lack of leadership, lack of trt. one of those issues has been resolved. but leadership means nothing if a team doesn't believe in each other. players spend years together before they develop trust in one another. i'm asking you to do it in a week. not a reasonable request, but these aren't reasonable times. now, i know you all haveconcerns about this sunday. but a real man... admits his fears. fears-- let's talk about them. fears. fears. [clifford clears throat] um, i'm scared of spiders, coach. [laughing] that's not what i meant. me, too, coach. i'm afraid of spiders, too. yeah. spiders freak me, too, fellas.

what scares us on the field? quicksand. hey, quicksand's a scary mother, man. that's not what he had in mind. what you talking about then, coach? why don't you ask him? ahem. hey, what's up, shane? you're playing... and you think everything is going fine, but then one thing goes wrong... and then another... and another... and you try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink, till you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. like quicksand. all right. that's some deep stuff, shane. some deep stuff. anything else you're afraid of?

the shipping yard. the auto plant earl: prison. the truth is, you guys have been given something that every athlete dreams of-- a second chance-- and you're afraid of blowing it. we all are, but now our fear is shared and we can overcome it together. let's lose that fear this sunday and put it into san ego! come on! ooh! [grunting] ohh! summerall: there's another vicious hit by the all-pro hank morris. that's his third of the game. it's just me, deadhead. madden: i tell you, he is really putting a hurt on falco, pat. i'm not sure how much more of this abuse he can take. same play. except let morris by. nobody touchim. what? it's 16-0 already!

coach: get some penetration, morris! get some penetration! blue 80! hut! hut! yaah! now, that is a hit! holy cow! let's haul ass, round boy! go! jamal: go, baby! jump on his back! here comes the--unh! jump on his back! aah! madden: fumiko scores! fumiko scores! i love to see a fat guy score. why? well, you get a fat guy spike, and then you get a fat guy dance. i don't remember that fromhe play book. yeah. maybe we should put it in.

people everywhere are sayin' [music playing] bad girls talking about those sad girls oh! [whistling] see them out on the streets at night picking up all kinds strangers well, annabelle, what do you,ike, think of our friends? i think-- a good time they're friendly. i know. aren't they? yeah. [cheering] like everybody se come on, come on, dance! whoo! we stretch 'em. we stretch 'em right here. ohh, yeah 95... what the hell? toot, toot, hey, beep beep bad girls

98 shake. pilachowski: 98 shake. [shouting] ready! green 99! hut! split! split! aah! h! yeah! [whistle blows] not bad, falco. yeah! whoo! announcer: touchdown, brian murphy! whoo! whoo! summerall: well, it's safe to say that everybody in the stadium knows that an on-side kick is coming with5 seconds left on the clock. madden: now with just 55 seconds left, washington has to recov the ball, call a time-out real fast

madden: big ol' bateman ends up with the ball. danny, go down! madden: no one's gonna tackle him! he's reversing his field! summerall: maybe he forgot the clock's running out. madden: he's trying to run out the clock. shane: danny, go down. you're using up the clock! [whistle blows] there is something you won't see every day. summerall: you're right about that. nice hit, shane! nice hit! what do you think? jimmy: we got time for one play. we don't stop the clock, it's over. give me a chance, boss. i'm bored. you're looking at a 65-yard field goal here, nigel. you just hold it, shane, and i'll kick the bloody piss out of it. what the hell. what the hell. field goal! field goal! field goal! go! field goal! madden: mcginty's gonna let gruff try this field goal from 65 yards out. i don't know if he has enough leg. i think that guy's smoking on the field.

i'm sure you just imagined that, john. madden: no, i saw it. saw the smoke and everything. hey, vito, look who's on tv. he wants to keep his pub, he's gonna start blowing some kicks. i'm telling you, that's him. come on, do it! all right! set! yes! ooh! madden: it's straight enough. if it's got the distance... it has the distance! it's good! washington wins! whoo! yeah! announcer: 65-yard field goal attempt is good by nigel gruff! yeah!

san diego 16. yeah! ha ha! you the man! oh, bollocks! you the man! help! all right. good game. we snuck by on that one. i'll take it. all right. you bet.

man: what do i think? i think it's great. these guys are like us. this strike ain't about guys like me. it's about them hotshot superstars who want $8 million instead of 7. know what i say to that? to hell with them! this is the most fun i've had in football in years. go, falco! yeah! yeah! all right. hey! let's go, baby. let's go. i love you, annabelle. i know you do, alan. we're closed. oh. hey. no, you can come in. come on in, buddy! you go. out! out! you're shane falco. way to go, falco. you guys kicked ass. out! thanks. i'll see you. bye. take care. hi. you sure it's ok? i don't want to get you in trouble with your boss. oh, no. she won't mind. come on in. you want a beer? sure. [clank] so...we were so tight. we had so much fun in here.

then, after he died, i took over. oops. is that you and him? ohh...yeah. he was the biggest washington fan you have ever seen. other kids were getting bedtime stories, i got football stories. he used to talk all the time about the glory days-- thank you--of football. said how they were gone forever. i wish he was here to see you guys play. coffs] i don't know about that. oh, i do. good game today. thanks. you belong to me my poor heart aches with every step you take it's late. yeah. every vow you break

yeah, you do. i'm sorry about that. you know, between the guysn the field and the guys in the bar, girl's gotta keep her guard up. yeah, i imagine. yeah. since you've been gone i've been lost without a trace you coming to the game on sunday? nah. we don't travel with the team. but it's you i can't replace can i--can i see you when i get back? sure. ahem. well, good night, annabelle.

oh, can't you see you belong to me how my poor heart aches with every step you take every move you make and every vow you break summerall: what do you do here, john? madden: you go for it, pat. you have to. summerall: but falco's been shut down by this defense all afternoon. every move you make madden: yeah, well, i'll tell you this-- all it takes is one big play to get him back in the ball game. [crowd cheering] summerall: and here goes falco. i'll be watching you crowd: falco! falco! falco! every vow you break i'll be watching you madden: falco scores! falco scores!

way to go, baby! yeah! now here's falco, and he's gonna try and reverse pivot and turn and pitch out here. but in doing so, his left gua, andr\ jackson, is going to pull, and falco is going to hit him with the ball in the back. doink! then it's going to flop around on the ground here. here's gonna come cochran, he's gonna come across, he's gonna kick it, franklin's gonna pick it up. franklin's gonna get hit right here--whap! the ball's gonna go flying in the air and here comes falco. he picks it up, and the guy who started the play, falco, is going to end up with it in the end zone for a touchdown. welcome to strike football. and the fabulous falco. if they can win next week against dallas, they'll do something that washington has not been able to do in over 7 years-- get to the playoffs. time out! time out! time out! time out! announcer: time out, washington. check it out. franklin, comeere. come on. i thought i had it--

ain't that stuff illegal? they gonna put you in football jail? now, you know this don't look natural. don't talk! we'll run the same play. catch the ball. all right. all right. come on, let's go! damn cup is stuck. shane: gonna need some time on this one. franklin! franklin! man, i c't get the damn cup off! you can do this. it's one-on-one. ready? break! ready! blue 89! blue ! hut! [whistle blows] madden: franklin catches the ball! who would have thought? he never catches the ball. but he caught the ball. summerall: that makes the score 21-20.

tie the game, and go into overtime. especially with the playoffs on the line. but jimmy mcginty is anything but a conventional guy, pat. and mcginty says "go for it." let's go for the win. yeah! yeah! gimme a receiver! i need a receiver! 4-22 y cross, ok? we gotta have it! gotta have it! ready! hut! summerall: and this kind of situation has not been falco's strong point in the past. falco rolls to his left and throws. right into the defender's hands! and he drops it right into the unsure hands of clifford franklin. madden: washington wins. what a lucky break for shane falco who threw a bad pass that could have blown the game for washington.

ol\, ol\, ol\ shane falco...great game out there today. thanks. to what do you attribute this team's sudden rise over these past few weeks? you should talk to franklin here. he's the hero today. clifford franklin, terrific day today. yeah. today was a good day for clifford franklin, and clifford franklin can't wait till tomorrow 'cause clifford franklin gets better looking every day. ha ha! we're just beginning to scratch the surface of the talent of clifford franklin. clifford franklin has moves even clifford franklin ain't seen yet. right. well, you did show us a few of those moves today against phoenix, but it could be a different story against dallas next week. that's the same story, different chapter, girl. the football is a one-man cold to clifford franklin. clifford franklin only one catchin' it, clifford franklin the only one comin' down with it.

to victory! ha ha! feels good, doesn't it, jimmy? one game away from the playoffs, in the hunt, that ring so close you can almost feel it on your finger. what are you up to? what? i cat get excited about the future of my team? huh? [chuckles] ok, ok, i got some great news. martel and carr have crossed the picket line. ha! with the deal i made them swallow, i can't afford now t to take them back. we have a deal. no interference with my coaching. as long as the strike is on, shane falco is my quarterback. we have to beat dallas to getnto the playoffs. falco can't do that. you w what happened out there yesterday. oh, jeez. think he's gon have that luck against dallas, too? they'll murder him. he's just getting his game back! he falls apart whenever the game is on the line. that's been his rap ever since e sugar bowl. remember, there are 21 other guys

they'd be heartbroken if you abandoned them before the biggest game of their lives. [chuckles] you really are a son of a bitch, you know that? jimmy: what are you doing here? i don't want to make the same mistake as phoenix. look, kid-- might end up in this situation with dallas. shane... yeah, coach? it's over. martel crossed. oh. i'm sorry. [exhales] "chokes with the game on the line..." is that what o'neil said? [sighs] it's ok. it's better for the team, right? i mean, martel, he is the best.

no... he doesn't have heart. you do. it's been a privilege. thanks for believing. you give 'em hell on thursday, huh? hey. hey. i just wanted to tell you before you left... that i'm sorry. thanks. no, really. i think it's terrible what they do to you guys. the cruelest thing they can give guys like you, shane,

[sighs] you're a real class act, martel. real class act. come on, boys, let's go. aww! hey! hey! nothing but water left in here. it's early. i have a date. but i love you, annabelle. i know you do, alan. bye, you guys! be careful! you know what fellas do [dance music playing] you know what fellas do for the moola nigel: whooaaa! aah! ol\ ol\, ol\, ol\

[chanting] falco! falco! falco! cheers, mate. god bless ya. cheers. cheers. ahh! ho-ho! hey, are you all right? i'm done, nigel. what? martel crossed.

[cheering] damn right! martel. he crossed. martel crossed. so, uh... while you guys are getting pounded by dallas... just kidding... i'm going to be drinking beer on my boat, kicking back. walter: sentinels... raise your glasses. this is to shane falco.
