Man, that was an amazing speech. And I'm Black and wasn't offended by the language in the context it was said. BTW, he had a Black QB in 1982. They didn't know about the magic in the Rifleman arm!
I remember the first time I saw this movie when I was 11 years old, and I was the ball boy for our HS football team. We had made the playoffs for the first time in years, and we watched it on a charter bus on the way to the game. It was so much fun for me because the game was on the complete opposite side of the state so we had to leave early and I got to miss the entire day of school. We ended up losing that game, and I got sick that night with bronchitis, but the next day Shaun Alexander ran for 291 yards against LSU. The Tide doesn’t lose in Baton Rouge!!!!!
I was an assistant coach for our local high school football team this year! Our head coach knew how to give a speech just like this! And we beat our big rival for a second year in a row! This movie and Remember The Titans should be required viewing for high school football players!
@@mba2ceo I never had to. I don't speak like that. Then again this movie was filmed in 1985 if correct and I believe he's just acting and not really a football coach using the N word in real life. Just a movie chief.
@@lbcoach2295 The Central Michigan Basketball coach got fired for making a very similar comment to his team. He wanted to tell his players (I'm paraphrasing) to be tough, play tough and bring out their "inner n-words". He meant it to be inspiring but one huge problem: He was White. And beyond that- it was just stupid to do. Just wrong.
@Mike Wynne ok. It's movie. I didn't mean to speak about using racist language. Relax. I just liked the way the ACTOR in the MOVIE delivered the speech. He was describing how the rich kids on the team they were playing thought of them. Just a movie, chief.
Roles as football 🏈 coaches sure seem to suit Craig T Nelson well; here and on Coach, of course. Seeing this scene again reminds me of the opening of the one Coach episode “The Loss Weekend” where Hayden(his character, head coach Hayden Fox of Minnesota state screaming Eagles) is giving a pregame pep talk to his players, just before they go out on the field.
Lol yeah it sucks that peeps aren’t tossing the “N” word around like it’s nothing. GTFOH Who are the three people who liked that reply, I’m reporting it to your employers!!!?
I went to school with the Rifleman. He was a great guy and did’t let this fame go to his head.

Rifleman played by Walter Briggs, QB for Montclair State College (now University), in my hometown of Montclair, NJ. :)
Loved this movie I was in peewee when I first saw this
Extremely powerful pregame speech. Gives me chills when I see this clip.
Nickerson before the game: “We’re gonna win together!”
Nickerson after the game: “Come on, Salvucci! Let’s have a good cry!” 😂
Every blue collar small town kid can relate to this movie..It wasn't just a movie it was real life..
I have aways wanted a football autographed by Craig T Nelson that is signed, “See this? This is a football.”
Lol.
That’d be smooth

6-2 stack monster 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
'Ready....Break!' ❤
Tom Cruise, the only cornerback to ever wear one of those horseshoe collars.
There wasn't much call for a 5'10" white cornerback in the NFL. But, he could do the job in college! The line of the movie!
@@Peraino 5'10? Don't flatter yourself Tom cruise. That's 3 inches too much.
🤣🤣🤣@@ericmacisaac
It was the 80s that was the style
@@ericmacisaac- actually 4 inches, like your Brociole 😆
Love the “that’s what we are together “ part, awesome speech, great actor. Always come back to this clip.

Reminds me in the mid 80 s I had a feirly coach like Craig Thompson
could you imagine present day libs marching and burning theaters after watching this scene.
I’d run through a wall for this guy
Hands down the most inspirational pre game speech I've ever seen.
I had a coach like this in high school...hence the reason I was All State First team, twice.
Same here. This was a great movie. I've been through Johnstown a few times and this movie captured the grit of the town to a T
Craig just made for football coach rules.
I'm coaching football at the high school and college level for 24 yrs. Never not ever have a came up with such a genius speech.
Never used the N-Word did U now ?

How is the football game not on CZcams? Amazes me to this day!
It's because they lost in the final seconds.
The fella at 0:51 looks just like a young Gerard Depardieu.
I bet Tom used his Scientology to to make his moves
Nice collar too
Jesus Christ made all the right moves to get you into heavens zone.
JesUSAves 🙏🏿♥️✝️
Your religion is a political cult at best.
Western Pennsylvania football
Miss those days!
I love 80s films, it was more interesting to see.

Leon , he was very young here
He was also tom shepherd from above the rim.
That’s AMERICA! TOGETHER!
0:55
Tom was very young and handsome 💕
Tom cruise was very young.
He was still gay during this period - this was before Scientology and he was still normal and happy!
Georgovich & Riley!!!!
Don't forget Shadow, Tank, Rifleman and Vinny Salvucchi.
Guess AB never hear this speech 😖
Nowadays, after he threw out the N word he’d have been cleaning out his desk on Monday.
Exactly. Shows you how much things suck now
Lol. Everyone shocked at the "N" word. But "Polack" and "Dago" are slurs too!
Lol yeah it sucks that peeps aren’t tossing the “N” word around like it’s nothing. GTFOH
Who are the three people who liked that reply, I’m reporting it to your employers!!!?
Where can I watch it?
All 5' 6" of Tom Cruise.
but he hit like a truck lol
Claims he’s 5”10 in the movie lol
Audie Murphy was that height. You coward!
He went from the best coach ever to the worst coach ever in the span of one game.
Actually, one play did it!
.
Chris penn 1:36
Who is that?
@@johnwick7583 Sean Penn’s brother he died in the 2000s he also played in rush hour
@@DBombzvideos he was also in beethoven 2.
And his best role was in reservoir dogs
@@DBombzvideos Also in the movie The Wild Life with Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson.
How are we gonna do it?
TOGETHER!!
I say this all the time and no one gets it
These are high school kids? #19 looks like he's already in the NFL.
Lol
Please don’t record off a tv.
Very inspiring until you fumble away the game.
Horrible play call by the coach he's the reason they lost.
He said the N word at 1 min 23 secs lol.
That was funny
I'm Black so I ask this as simply as possible, welcome to the 80's.... AND
Uh, they used to say the n word in sitcoms and family movies of the week...Brian's Song would be rated nc-17 today..
