in recent years.

It's a tradition

that I'm committed to restoring.

Man should be committed

for taking this job.

(ROCK MUSIC PLA YIN G

ON JUKEBO x)

Hey, Mick, you mean to tell me

you didn't see that guy

clothesline Pete?

I didn't see nothing.

(MAN CHA TTERIN G ON TV)

I saw it from the car.

Hey, that team had you guys beat

by a mile on that play.

Oh, yeah? Then why aren't you

drinking over there?

-Go to their bar, traitor.

-You want that on your tab?

Hey, put a leash on that monkey.

Vince, why does he get to run a tab,

I don't?

Because he's got a job, that's why.

(LAUGHING )

That's great, Max. Yeah,

that's a great way to treat a friend.

(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)

Hey, Max. Any chance I could pick up

a few more hours?

-Sure. Why?

-MAN ON TV:
First up, let's bring in

Wade Chambers

of Channel 11 Sports.

CHAMBERS:
Well, the Eagles

took their time on this one.

But for the first time...

I'm giving my cousin from New York

a few hours starting Thursday.

-You can have the rest if you want.

-Thanks. Appreciate it.

Owner Leonard Tose announced

the hiring of UCLA 's Dick Vermeil

-as the Eagles' head coach.

-Hey, Grumpy.

You wanna turn up the tube?

...wasted no time before making

this surprising announcement.

Before I take your questions,

I'd like to make a quick announcement.

This coming Saturday,

at Veterans Stadium at 9:00 a.m.,

the Philadelphia Eagles

will hold open tryouts.

-We're open to all comers.

-It's open.

-This guy's out of his mind.

-So we can go ahead

-and start with the questions now.

-There you have it, Eagle fans.

So strap on your helmets.

Throw on those shoulder pads.

Here's your chance to play in the NFL.

I guess four wins

wasn't so bad after all.

-Yo, Vince. What do you say?

-What?

You're faster

than half those guys anyway.

(CHUCKLING )

Hey, come on. Give it a shot.

Yeah, Vince.

Papale at the 40.

ALL:
At the 30. The 20.

He's at the 10.

-Hey.

-Hey. Sixteen-hour first day.

-You're not going soft on me, are you?

-Look who's talking.

Well, I found out today

that there aren't any sprinkler systems

on the East Coast.

Only took me a half an hour

to make that little discovery.

You happen to see

that press conference today?

Yeah. You looked good.

The tryout come off

sounding a little desperate?

Maybe a little.

You don't seriously think

you're gonna find someone, do you?

I'm just trying to get people excited,

that's all.

So, Max just told me.

She took everything?
