Everybody's a head taller than me, and I'm not any better, any more skilled than they are, except they're a head taller than me, and I remember I was in the locker room and they put the list on the wall in the locker room of who made the team, and I ran my finger down the list and I got to the bottom and my name wasn't on it.
