(audience cheering)

I can't believe we're not going to the championship.

I mean, who kicks a 58-yard field goal?

It's not human.

Somebody better be checking his pee tonight.

At least Derwin had a good game.

Too soon, Med School... too soon.

(sobbing)

Undoubtedly a disappointing end to the season

for you and the Sabers, but what a breakout game it was for you.

Five catches, 118 yards, and that one big touchdown.

Actually, Jim, I also had a fumble recovery.

But it's not about me, it's about the team.

Well, I think it's fair to say that

that everyone in the country is going to know

who Derwin Davis is now.

Hey, America.

(loud sobbing)

WOMAN: It'll be okay.

You all right, baby?

Yeah, I'm all right.

You?

-I'm okay, too. -Okay.

We're good.

I will see you back at home.

Have a nice flight.

You have a better one.

No, Ma, it is my fault.

I let everybody down.

Malik, that's crazy.

You can't put this all on your shoulders.

Do you take the credit every time the team wins?

Hell, yeah.

That's my baby.

Okay, but now on this loss business,

you just got to give it some time,

and in a few weeks you're going to start feeling better.

No, no, no, there's only one way

I'm going to feel better about this.

I got to rap about it.

Baby, that ain't gonna make anybody feel better.

See you at home.

Hey, Tasha, have you seen Melanie?

She had to run out and catch her plane.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

But she wanted me to give you this note

and tell you that she loves you and whatnot.

Thanks.

Derwin.

Amazing game.

Yeah, thanks.

(sobbing continues)

But the team lost.

But I was a beast out there.

Yes, you were.

Which is why I want to introduce you to Irv Smiff.

Hey, what's up, Irv Smith?

No, it's Irv Smi-ff.

But outstanding game, Derwin, outstanding.

Now, how is it a player of your talent

doesn't have a manager?

Well, I got drafted kind of late,

and then my combine performance was a little...

That was a rhetorical question.

I'm interested in managing you.

Now, how would you like

to fly up to my office in L.A. next week

to talk about it, huh?

-That one you could answer. -Oh, okay.

(sighs)

Derwin.

Derwin!

Hey, what's up, baby?

How was medical school?

Exhausting.

You're awfully dressed up.

Oh, I know you want all this,

but I ain't got time for the freaky-freaky.

Irv called this morning.

He's flying me up for that meeting.

Boo, have you seen my gray socks?

You know, the silky ones?

Weren't they in the laundry?

That you were supposed to do.

Derwin, I'm wearing Sunday undies,

and it hasn't been Sunday for four days.

Baby, baby, I'm so sorry.

Look, I really am sorry.

I know I said once the season ended

I would take over the day-to-day stuff

so you can study.

But who knew your day-to-day stuff

would take up the whole day?

No, it's our day-to-day stuff.

Oh, my socks!

Thanks, Boo.

Tomorrow... I am putting your stuff

at the top of the list.

And the first thing up is a three-pack of granny panties,

'cause let's be real--

I don't think I'm going to get to that laundry.

Derwin, I really need you to help me out around here.

You know I'm barely holding on at school.

I know, baby, and I'm sorry.

Look, I had no idea these last few games

were going to blow up for me like this.

And Irv,

he's one of the biggest managers in the game.

So I've got to strike while the iron is hot.

Oh, before you ask,

no, I didn't do the ironing either.

(sighs)

(imitating car engine)

Man, Tee Tee, can you turn that thing down?

How am I supposed to write my rhymes

with you making all that noise?

(scoffs) You could write them upstairs.

(TV turns off)

Check this out.

Now, remember, I wrote this rhyme to capture

the life and death struggles

a nation endures after the loss of a playoff game.

(hip-hop beat playing)

* I had a plan to make the ultimate stand *

* But the only thing I'm left with *

* Is endorsing the same brands *

* It's all gone, fans, it slipped through my hands *

* It ain't about Diego, it's the damage to this man *

* I am the one, one, one, one, one... *

* Wicked-wicked fresh. *

That's all I got so far.

What you think?

I don't know, man.

I think you need to go deeper.

Right now, it's kind of narcissistic.

Kind of what?

Narcissistic.

Spell it.

Look, I'm just saying,

the only way you're going to get to what's real,

is by discovering your inner truth.

What if I don't have an inner truth?

That'll probably make it harder then.

(humming tune)

Ah. You fixed the plug on that lamp.

That is so sweet.

That chair will be the perfect reading spot.

Hey, now that the season's over,

there's no reason why I can't make everything...

perfect around here, now is there?

No darn reason at all.

Thank you, sweetie.

No, thank you, baby.

Every guy on the golf course is going to be totally envious

of my wrinkle-free shirts.

Things really are great.

Yes, they are.

(both sigh contentedly)

Will you look at all these legends?

Irv reps all the big names.

Including Jerry Rice.

-Jerry Rice? Where? -Behind you.

Absolutely.

Dionne Taylor.

Nice to meet you.

IRV: Now, Jerry, this is the receiver

I was telling you about.

-Derwin Davis. -Oh, oh, yeah.

Tough loss last week, but you played a great game.

You watched me?

Well, I watched the game.

You just happened to be there.

Now, you better watch out, I believe that this guy

has the potential to break your records.

Oh, you're fired, Irv.

-I'm just kidding, man. -He's just kidding.

Good luck, kid.

Stick with Irv. He'll take you places.

All right, you take care, J.R.

All right, Dionne, Derwin, in the office.

-Got the double "D"s. -That was...

Yeah, Jerry Rice-- let's go.

Perfect, great.

Right in here.

Now, Derwin, why don't you take a seat over there.

-Right here? -Yep.

Man, this is warm.

Jerry Rice sit here?

Yeah, and so did what's-his-name.

-Who? -Derwin Davis.

Great hands.

Open it up.

Hey, this is me.

You're damn right it is.

This is me, too.

IRV: Let me save you some time--

they're all you.

Now... check this out.

Oh, man.

That's amazing.

That's me too, right?

If you were darker, but you catch on quick.

Now, Derwin,

this merchandise is just a taste of what we're able to offer you.

A lot of our players

double-- hell, they even triple--

their salaries with product endorsements.

I would certainly buy something endorsed by that face.

All of America would.

So what are we waiting for?

We're waiting to get you into a bigger market.

Sierra.

(laughing)

Wow.

Yes!

I don't understand.

Why is my name on a Chicago jersey?

Because, Big D, you don't make the big dollar

staying in San Diego.

Uh-uh.

Are you talking about a trade?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, shh, shh, shh.

Okay, thank you, Sierra.

Oh, and send my wife flowers.

She's having a baby.

Now, not on the record, but the G.M. of Chicago

is a golf buddy of mine

and I may have happened

to have gleaned

that they're interested in you.

-For real? -For real.

Okay, you sure they meant me?

-Because there's a Darrin Davis in San Francisco. -No.

No, they were talking about you, Derwin.

Now... do you see yourself in Chicago, huh?

Do you know "Cane" West is from Chicago?

You mean Kanye?

Exactly.

Yo, Irv, man, I don't know, man.

I mean, I like Kanye and all,

but my girlfriend goes to medical school in San Diego.

I thought she was your fiancée now.

What did I say?

Oh, you know, it's all so new to me... and French.

All right, girlfriend, fiancée, whatever.

Are you really prepared to let her stand

between you and millions of dollars?

Did you say millions?

Yeah, I don't get out of bed for thousands.

* So it's back to the beginning again *

* The road to the ring has finally come to an end *

* But I'll be back here this time next year *

* You know I won't stop until I'm on top *

* But for now, I'll just be sitting here *

* Letting my rhymes drop *

* Yeah. *

So, is that dope or what?

Yeah, it was dope.

Boy, what?

Okay, look,

I'm not trying to dis it or anything,

but if feels like you still got to go deeper.

Damn, Tee Tee, how deep am I supposed to go?

Hella deep.

You got to find the metaphor.

-The what? -The metaphor...

Man, you really shouldn't have come out of school early.

All I'm saying is,

you got to find the greater meaning.

I mean, what's your rhyme about?

Losing the game.

No, see, it's bigger than that.

See, the game is a metaphor for a bigger loss.

Think about it.

It's not about losing the game...

it's about losing your daddy.

I didn't lose him.

I just don't know where he is.

Then explore that.

DERWIN: Melanie.

Oh, girl, I got asurprise for you.

Is it panties?

Even better.

What do you think?

Why is your name on a Chicago jersey?

See, I asked the same thing,

and Irv said the best way to make big money

is by changing teams.

Chicago is interested in me, Boo.

Allegedly. Shh...

Look.

This is the kind of house we'd be able to afford.

Huh? That's Hyde Park.

And it's highfalutin, like you.

Know what else they have?

They have deep-dish pizza, Marshall Fields...

Need I mention your girl, Oprah?

-Derwin... -Boo, Boo, Boo.

You'll be able to hang out with her

when you're not too busy going to the school of...

University of Chicago!

And their medical school

blows San Diego's out of the water.

Mel, this could be a good move for you, too.

Cool. Let me call and tell them I accept.

Oh, hold on, Melanie.

You getting ahead of yourself.

I got to make sure there's an actual offer.

Good, because I'm not going anywhere.

What?

Medical school isn't like football.

I can't transfer my credits like you can transfer

your name to another jersey.

Mel, you had to know that I can get traded at any time.

Yes, but this is you trying to be traded.

Irv thinks Chicago could be a career-maker for me.

Mel, this could set us up.

Set us up forwhat,Derwin?

For more money, Melanie.

Maybe if we had more of that, you wouldn't worry

about how long it'll take you to finish school.

You could take your time and not be so stressed out.

Do you think I want to be a doctor

because I think I look cute in a lab coat?

This is what I want to do with my life.

And football's what I want to do

-withmylife, Melanie. -Yeah, and that's

why we came to San Diego in the first place.

We had a plan-- you were gonna play for the Sabers,

and I was gonna go to school--

and, we were gonna share the load

so we can both have clean underwear.

Melanie, I'm a football player.

I can't promise you clean underwear.

Look, Boo, you got the rest of your life to be a doctor.

I have now, so if you want to be with me...

I have to make another sacrif...

Ooh! Girl, don't you say that word.

Is this why you wanted to marry me?

So it would be easier for you to drag me all over the country

whenever you felt like it?

(chuckles lightly)

No, Melanie.

I wanted to marry you because I love you.

But you shut that down so you can focus on your career.

But you know what?

You think about you, and I'll think about me.

And to be honest,

I'm seriously thinking about the trade.

Hey, what up, Tasha?

-Hey. -Melanie's not here.

I know. She wanted me to come over.

And then when you said she wasn't here,

I was supposed to act all surprised

and strike up an interesting conversation.

I ain't got time for all that.

She told me about Irv's plans for your career.

And?

And let me tell you something about Irv.

He tried to poach Malik with his tired dog-and-pony show.

So what future Hall of Famer did he schedule

right ahead of you so you could just "accidentally"

bump into him?

Bret Favre? Ray Lewis?

Jerome Bettis?

-Jerry Rice. -Jerry Rice?

Oh! Wait.

You stood there with your mouth wide open

while Irv said you were gonna be the next Jerry Rice.

Baby.

(scoffs)

Now, you know you ain't gonna be the next Jerry Rice.

Come on, you, you don't have Jerry Rice hands,

and you don't have Jerry Rice speed.

Whoa.

I run a 4.2.

-Really? -Really.

Oh, well, if, if that's true,

then after your performance in the last four games,

you could renegotiate your contract

right here in San Diego.

Chicago's a bigger market, and you know what that means.

Oh, fast and smart.

Okay, there may be hope for you yet, rookie.

Look, I'll settle all this feuding

and carrying on and, uh...

I'll represent you.

No offense, Tasha... but you're not exactly Irv.

(squeals)

What does that mean?

Tasha, come on.

Irv's got a jet.

And an office.

And clients that don't call him "Ma."

So do you really want to have this conversation with me?

Well, I mean, I've been looking into getting...

I mean, I'mgonnaget a...

Look.

I only offered because your little fiancée

was worried about your relationship.

And where's all this self-confidence

and certitude been before now?

It's not the bark, Tasha, it's the bite.

Look, I'm sorry Melanie got you involved with this,

but this is really none of your business.

Oh, fine.

None of my business.

Okay.

But if you go without Melanie,

you'll be miserable.

And if you drag her along with you,

you're gonna need two moving vans--

one for all of your stuff,

and one for all of her resentment.

Oh, and FYI--

I got a home office.

MELANIE: Thank you.

Tasha.

-Tasha, what happened? -Huh?

So, did you talk Derwin out of the trade?

No.

He talked me into wanting to represent him.

Heifer, why didn't you tell me your man had 4.2 speed?

That kind of information would be helpful.

Wait, you're representing him now?

No. He didn't want me.

Talkin' about I didn't have a jet

and I didn't have an office.

I have a office. You seen my office.

It's that room where Tee Tee sleep.

Tasha, what did Derwin say?

He said that Chicago would be better for his career and...

to be honest, it would be.

-You told him that? -No.

I told him that if he leaves, you'll resent him so much

the relationship won't last.

So he's gonna stay for me?

You better hope not.

'Cause if he does, he'll resent you so much

the relationship won't last.

But this is crazy.

So, what are we supposed to do?

Have a long-distance relationship?

Look, I don't know.

All I know is, I'm starting to resent the both of you.

Now, if you'll let yourself out,

I got to start putting a list together.

See, office space. Another client...

Talking about I don't want to be Irv.

I'm me, I don't want to be Irv.

I'm Tasha Mack, Tasha Mack Management.

Oh! I got to get some kind of logo.

Hey, baby, what you doing?

Knitting you a scarf.

Pfft. You're the best.

Oh. And you know how much I love taupe.

I sure do.

How are the repairs coming?

Oh, great.

I finished re-staining the deck,

cleaning out the gutters,

chopping down that pine tree, and now...

I'm gonna go fix the drywall.

That's my baby!

(humming)

(thud, Jason grunts)

(thud, grunt)

Jason?

(thump, grunt)

-Jason! -(grunts)

Jason!

(grunts)

What are you doing?!

Okay...

Stop!

I don't want to stop.

If I stop, I'll have to think about it,

and I don't want to think about it.

Give...

I don't want to think about it, either.

(panting)

Then hit the wall, baby.

Hit the wall.

(grunts)

-(grunts) -Get in there!

(shrieks)

Oh, my God.

That does feel good.

That's it, baby, knock that wall down.

Knock it down!

Oh, I get gassed!

-Yes, you do. -(laughing)

Yes, you do.

(both laughing)

(both sobbing)

We lost,Kelly.

We lost.

I know, baby.

I know...

* Well this history ain't no mystery *

* Wasn't meant to be, I wish I were free *

* I'm waiting for our time to come... *

Waiting, just waiting.

* Still, I got my pride, I ain't going to cry *

* Keep it all inside and keep getting by *

* And waiting for my time to come *

Waiting, just waiting.

* But there will come a day when we will finally say *

* That we are here to stay and we'll no longer pray *

* Waiting for our time to come. *

Waiting, just waiting.

Yo, that's the truth, man.

You found it.

Damn, Tee Tee.

I do miss my daddy.

(sobbing)

I know, Malik.

(sobbing)

It's all right, man.

-Hey. -Hey.

Melanie.

I've thought a lot about it.

I prayed on it.

And I've decided to tell Irv

I want to try and renegotiate my contract here in San Diego.

(sighs) Derwin, I'm so glad.

Are you going to resent me for this?

No, no.

'Cause you have made so many sacrifices for me,

I want to make a sacrifice for you.

But that's the last

that I want to hear about any sacrifices, you hear me?

Thank you.

Oh, yeah. Here.

Oh!

You bought me boxers?

Well, the guy at the off-ramp didn't have panties.
