Clinton Portis reveals that before he committed to Miami he asked Edgerrin James if he was leaving for the NFL, and says that’s when Edge taught him to seek competition instead of opportunity
“When I committed to the U, it was from a piece of advice that Edge gave me. We were standing on the field, and I said, ‘You leaving? Are you leaving if I come?’ He said, ‘Man, it shouldn’t matter whether I leave or if I stay.’”
“‘You should want the competition. You don’t want anything given to you.’ And that advice has taken me so far because of the running back rooms I’ve been in. You talk about Willis, Frankie G, Najeh Davenport, James Jackson, and then when I got to Denver, you’ve got Terrell Davis, Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary.”
“I never sat in a room like, ‘Oh shit, this dude is going to beat me out.’ Homeboy, you go out there and practice and show them what you’re capable of. On Sunday, when I go out there and bust his lunch pail, that’s going to change all of that.”
“I remember my first practice in Denver. Terrell was there, and they said, ‘First team, ones come up.’ We had 12 people in the huddle and everybody, Rod Smith, Shannon Sharpe, they’re laughing, ‘Bro, get out of here. Get out of this huddle.’”
“I said, ‘Man, they said ones. They said ones come up.’ There ain’t no two or no three. I’m a one. That was the confidence. There was no beef with Terrell. The competition is what made me thrive.”

this is how yt supremacy operates. it convinces people that the greatest player in the history of the sport would — and in their minds, *should* — be jealous of someone who still has yet to win ANY major title on ANY level of the sport.
Honestly, killing off characters because their vehicle modes were no longer in production is a dumbass reason.
Some of the characters had vehicles that literally never existed like Sideswipe.
Jazz and Ironhide could’ve stuck around for the long run.
AJ Brown says the biggest lesson he’s learned from winning and losing a Super Bowl is to stop obsessing over getting back to one because you can’t control that outcome anyway, so the only useful response is to be present, max out your effort, get better daily and let the chips fall where they may
“I have empathy for the guys because I understand how it feels. It’s not a good feeling. But ultimately it just comes down to your daily process each and every day.”
“Not looking so far ahead. One game at a time. Be present each and every day and just go to work. Because you can’t control the outcome anyway.”
“You can control your effort. And leave it at that. Let the chips fall where they may. Our job is to show up each and every day and just try to get better.”
“Rent is due every day. I’m in year five, it’s time for me to start getting to that point. I looked at BG a lot and how he led. Making everybody feel included, making everybody feel welcome. Always keeping a smile on his face. Just keep the torch going “
