"Losing is a disease..." from "The Natural"
« Topic Start: April 25, 2013, 10:02:04 AM »

"We review...
all the fears and anxiety
...which are so
inherently symptomatic...
...of a losing team.
The mind is a strange thing, men.
We must begin by asking it...
..."What is losing?"

Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as polio.
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as syphilis.
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as bubonic plague...
... attacking one...
... but infecting all.
Ah, but curable.

Now, I want you to imagine...
...you are on a ship at sea...
...on a vast...
...calm ocean...
...gently rocking.
Gently rocking.
Gently rocking.
Gently rocking."

If losing is a disease, swagger and cocky confidence are the cures.

Odd, but curable.

If only it was Leo Mazzone style rocking and not Sling Blade type rocking.
