I was 7 years old when this came out and I remember my parents rented it from the local movie rental joint. I liked it back then and this brings back a lot of memories. RIP to my dad. It was a happier period then.
Lol, we loved this movie as kids (about the same age as you), and I just remembered this song out of nowhere just now, haha. Brings me right back to the '80s.
@@brek5 Me too bro,born in 1980. These were My movies!! This, Over The Top, Commando, Neverending Story, Karate Kid, Conan the Destroyer, you know what I'm talking about.
This is and always will be one of the happiest movie endings of my life. Temple of doom and over the top in there. But just so great that he chose booth over Pamela. Love it.
My favorite part of this entire scene (aside from the kickass song itself) Is when Chubby scores that one-armed 3 pointer, and MJF jumps on his back. When Chubby raises his arm into the air, and that look of utter triumph on his face...They just don't make movies like this anymore. HERO!!!
At 4:06 when Michael jumps in the arms of his teammate while the other team is taking the ball down the court gets me to laugh every time because the Coach would be going ballistic, "What are you doing?" lol
danure my 9yr old and I were playing catch the other day and he hit me in "the feel goods" with an under thrown ball, and it definitely doesn't feel good at all!!! 😂😂😂
God I loved this film as a kid, growing up in England. Had such a crush on Susan Ursitti (Boof) , and so wanted to live in America. I'm 39 now and living in Ireland, but still feel those feelings watching this.
I mean I’m born in 1999, but I can still see the difference between the soundtracks of then and now, the 80s had incredible quality to their films and the soundtracks that accompanied them, now it’s all overplayed and reruns of old ideas that don’t work well, not a lot of great stuff being made today.
Thank God for Mr Michael J. Fox. So many great films and tv shows.Brilliant personality, very funny, intelligent, down to earth and whose charity The Michael J. Fox foundation has raised approximately 450-500 million dollars for Parkinson's research. Bravo. I salute you Sir. Xxx. Love from Ireland
You couldn’t help but to fall in love with Michael J. Fox’s enthusiasm and love he seemed to have for films here. In this basketball game, his joy explodes all over the screen.
Looking back on this movie and others like it, the music to these movies was outstanding and timeless. nothing will ever compare to this feeling of nostalgia of movies that we saw as a kids to now be cherished now by us as adults .
This movie has such a silly and ridiculous concept that it totally shouldn’t work. But it completely does! It’s greatness lies in its delivery. The filmmakers were able to create an underdog teen movie story, that’s relatable and hits you right in the feels. Despite the ridiculous surmise of teenage werewolves lol. There were so many cool, unique scenes throughout the film (surfing atop the moving truck, trying to buy beer, the school dance scene) and it’s all so fully fleshed out and complete. They truly don’t make movies like this anymore. Good storyline, solid characters , good acting, perfect soundtrack, fun and entertaining scenes, and a feel good ending. One of my favorite films from childhood!
This always stuck with me and I was never an 80’s kid. Scott was battling internal conflicts and always felt his human self was not good enough, and he put it to the test and overcame
My nana used to record movies from the tv for us grandkids. This was one of them. If I close my eyes, I’m 8, in her living room loving this scene. Brings a tear to my eye.
When you really analyze it, and seen it as many times as I have, this is arguably one of the best basketball movie sequence/ montages ever made. Such an abnormally vast amount of aggressive defense, offensive assistance, shot blocking, and inside offensive. Not to mention, being able to feel like a giant bc you get to hold MJF in celebration between scores. Just the right level of typical 80’s slow motion. MJ’s behind the back assist is actually used twice, but the scene is too good to notice. Did I mention Chubb’s epic hook shot and pick that knocks Mick on his ass? And they managed to win in the end with only 4 players haha.
It's the sound design. Total silence, the echo of the basket and that ROAR! I stand by Teen Wolf. It's a silly concept but it's delivery is wonderful! Maybe, just maybe, Fox will watch it again, one day, and realise it's something to be proud of.
thats how u do them hoes lol...but this scene will always be remembered for the guy standing behind them at 8:25 with his dick out then puts it back in his pants
I saw this in the theater when I was seven with my friend Gerald. He lived a couple streets over and when we got home we both tried to howl at the moon from our respective backyards to see if we could hear each other. I didn’t hear him and my mom yelled at me to get back inside. It was the 80’s. And it was glorious.
@@ppate8 There are a lot of great movies to come out in the last 20 years. I suggest you take off the nostalgia goggles and use your eyes. Just last year we had Uncut Gems, Parasite, and The Lighthouse, which were all brilliant.
Teen Wolf is definitely a cult classic, but is not often name-checked as one of the "Great" films of it's generation, but this scene alone encapsulates so many reasons that it SHOULD be. Here is a very long list of reasons I believe this- 1) Brilliantly Cast- The best evidence of this is watching the second film. "Teen Wolf Too", if released on it's own was quite honestly not the WORST film. It stacked up against most of it's peer films from the era. But it lacks anything special, mostly due to casting. Not even another brilliant young talent named Jason Bateman was able to breathe any kind of life into that doomed film. Every Character in the original is played by someone who was irreplaceable. From the Michael J. Fox, to his close friends Boof and Stiles, Mick, Pamela Wells, Mr. Howard, and even the background players who were consistently present through the film. They were all totally believable. 2) Sports Action- THIS might be the biggest success of the film. It is easy to mistake acting like a "Bad" team for being a bad team. It's not just a matter of bumbling around or deliberately missing shots. The Beavers basketball team actually goes through an evolution, motivated by Scott's transformation to the wolf. Although he undermines his own team as his ego grows, they still do start to look like a team. Once this scene rolls around, they have grown enough to be able to come together with proper leadership and pull off the impossible. But above that, is the cinematography of the scene. It is SO well shot! It looks like two high school teams. Not "Superstars", but two average teams from the white-American suburbs. In sports films, you instinctively know that the protagonists are going to win. Despite this, the great films still manage to create a sense of tension.I remember this scene as a kid, and even when I Watch it now has a genuine "Edge of your seat" feel. Basketball in my high school (also in white-suburban America" was a HUGE deal. Small packed gym with intense game action, felt like a million degrees, so noisy you can barely think, that really comes to life here. Because of the gameplay, the comeback is believable, and everything from the made shots, to the dumb misses, to the bumbling at times just looks and feels like most high school basketball. Even the audience reactions are amazing. This was done before the era where ALL sound was done in post production, so we're hearing genuine human reactions that just bring back those feelings in the real gym watching games. Even the commonly name-checked "Great" sports films lack this quality. Films like "Hoosiers", "Remember the Titans", "Rudy", "Field of Dreams", and many others actually annoy me because the game play is nowhere near being believable. When it's not believable gameplay, the moments are robbed of their tension. And without tension, there can be no genuine release. If you don't believe me, go back and watch those films. Focus only on the gameplay with sound off to really see how bad it is. Most of those films are actually laughable when you watch. It doesn't feel like they pull of a miracle, it feels like they win because the script says so. Great sports films keep you on the edge even when you know the outcome. Like "Miracle" where literally everyone on earth knows that USA beats Russia is still so suspenseful because of how it's shot. 3) Subverting the sports narrative I think the this final scene brings everything together and one of the most satisfying conclusions to a film ever and it does it without giving in to the normal. First, the choice of "Win in the End" was brilliant. That song and it's lyrics are so perfect for this moment. It's not about being "Better" than anyone. It's not even really about competition like "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky or "You're the Best" from Karate Kid. This song is about not hiding from your own identity which lines up with Scott's decision NOT to be the Wolf even when he knows it guarantees victory. It's about rising up, conquering fears, knowing you can reach beyond your limits and find your potential. (Google the lyrics... its brilliant!). Second- The honest portrayal of the game. Low scoring, no unbelievably impressive athleticism, no "Buzzer beater from Downtown" type shots, this is just gritty and real. Third- The way Scott finally wins. Control of his emotions, ending his selfish ways, showing maturity, and Focus. He shows control of his emotions while taking a literal beating from Mick the entire game. He is in control enough not to retaliate and draw dumb fouls and hurt his team. Then, he is unselfish and gets his teammates involved in the game. By leading instead of pushing them out of the way, he is able to get them to play their best which is what they needed to overcome a superior opponent. The choice to have the game end with two free throws might be the most brilliant ending possible. Most people think of Free-throws as easy, or a "gimmie". Not true. Free throws take skill, but above all, they take focus, and control. This is precisely what Scott has learned throughout his journey. Any other film would have had him win on a three-pointer or a buzzer-beater from Half-court. Instead, Scott wins by showing his growth, maturation, and ability to control his emotions. Lastly, my very favorite moment comes at the end. While watching his son overcome all of his obstacles, then choosing Boof over Pamela, the father just sits there in the stands for a few seconds giving his son that moment. He just watches with the most proud look imaginable on his face. Truly a brilliant ending to a film that was probably so close to being just another ridiculous teen-comedy. If you read this far, you are a trooper. Sorry for the book, but I had a lot of feelings to get out after watching this for the first time in many years!
Very meaningful and realistic scene there at the end between Boof and Pamela. Scott always knew that Boof was always the biggest supporter throughout his whole journey and the only girl that actually cared about him as a person. I love how he just goes past Pamela, acting like she’s not even there at all and just goes straight to the REAL person where the real love is. Just goes to show that Pamela only cared about Scotts popularity and wolf 🐺 form. But whether rich or poor, popular or unpopular, tall or short, Boof is the girl that cares only about the heart ❤️ in someone. Can’t imagine if Boof had been the one that got ignored. Would’ve been pretty sad….
MJF scored a lot during this montage, but the unsung hero was #45. Scored 8pts, 3 Blocks, 2 Rebounds, 1 assist. Also, everybody catch the guy in the stands who's pants are open? 8:13 top left. What was he doing before he had to stand?
Scott Gentilcore you'll have to excuse my friend Tyler. See, he has a very addictive gambling issue and a rare mental tick that causes him to rub one out when there's high stakes involved, and let's just say if the Dragons would have won, he'd be into some unpleasant men for$5,000. And that's the reason Tyler and I went our separate ways as friends!!! 😂😂 Damn I've got waaaay 2 much time on my hands!!!
That's a woman, they were real tight Jean's back then. Apparently they had to sit for hours recording that scene and most of the woman opened there Jean's when it got to uncomfortable.
2:58 is the best part, after Mick hits him and Scott's like ha that was four one more and you're done. that look on Mick's face. he got me Scott planned and knew Mick would hit him and took it love it
This montage with the song actually makes me think of the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2014-2015 season. They were doing good but then one of their star player, Patrick Kane got seriously injured by being fouled. He was going to be out for the rest of the regular season but would be better in time for the playoffs. But many people thought that with Kane out, they'd never make it to the playoffs now. Even I had my doubts. But the team pulled together and won more than enough games to get into the playoffs and to top it off, THEY WON THE STANLEY CUP! Just like in this montage, the team won because they worked together as a team instead of relying on just one player.
I have always wanted to say this since I was little!!!!! Being a basketball player MJF is ok, but the redhead dude on his team I can see knew how to ball.
It was like the 1998, 1999 early 2000s Utah Jazz offense where they would do alot of UCLA cuts and Chubbs would do screans for M.J.F. and someone also mentioned his support cast of help from shot blocking and rebounding from his other teammates and outlet passes for quick scores. Hard earned baskets with no jump shots all in the paint!
4:04, imagine Bob Knight, watching one of his players jumping into his teammates arms in celebration while the game is still in play, only to give up an easy layoff on the other end of the court as a result.
As a kid watching teen wolf . I seen this movie as comical and entertaining. Then I realized when I’m older this scene sent a message. If you work hard & be yourself. We can accomplish anything and be successful. This is why Teen wolf is my all time favorite movie
Movie production crew: We need you to come up with a song for a scene in this movie. Mark Safan: What happens in the scene? Movie crew: He wins in the end. Mark Safan: Say no more
I love watching this video over and over it brings back happy feelings, its such a feel good song it just makes you want to be in the bleachers. Another one that's fun to watch and is a feel good is John Waite "Change" especially if you watch it with the clip from Vision Quest.
As an 80's kid and subsequently someone who pretty much loathes modern day - I've seen this movie many many times. Watching this scene I just noticed - how cool is it that Mr Howard knowingly let Boof go first, and let his son and his sweetheart have their moment and kiss and THEN only did Mr Howard go in for a hug too. (And yes, back then Mr, and Mrs was all we knew and to this day, my friends parents are Mr and Mrs....ok, go back to tattoos and whazzup dawg lives now, enjoy)
Happy 38th Anniversary "TEEN WOLF" (AUGUST 23, 1985)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐺🐾 I LOVE WEREWOLVES SO MUCH 🐺🐾💙💚💙💛
love this movie! I also love how the coach never does jack shi* but eat an egg the whole series. Never a time out or play call, just a well I don't know look always.
this scene with MJF in his office when he says 'Never get less than 12 hours sleep, never play cards with a guy with the same first name as a city, and never date a girl with a tattoo of a dagger on her body' is the only point in the movie where my dad laughed.
I always laugh at 4:00 when Scott celebrates over the top by jumping into his teammate's arms while the opponent goes coast to coast for an easy bucket lol..
one of the most heavily recruited areas in the world right now. Seton Hall in '89 (robbed of the national title) had a great shooter in Andrew Gaze and then the late great coach Rick Majerus started making Australian recruits a top priority at St. Louis. They are fundamentally sound and well-coached by the time they get here.
I loved the montage at the end they just played and Scott was himself..them doing this made me face my bullys and stand up for who I am..cause that's what Scott and his team do.
I was 7 years old when this came out and I remember my parents rented it from the local movie rental joint. I liked it back then and this brings back a lot of memories. RIP to my dad. It was a happier period then.
Man I was happy as hell the other day I was flicking through the channels and this was on. I felt like I was 10 all over again

Every Character in the original is played by someone who was irreplaceable. From the Michael J. Fox, to his close friends Boof and Stiles, Mick, Pamela Wells, Mr. Howard, and even the background players who were consistently present through the film. They were all totally believable.
2) Sports Action-
THIS might be the biggest success of the film. It is easy to mistake acting like a "Bad" team for being a bad team. It's not just a matter of bumbling around or deliberately missing shots. The Beavers basketball team actually goes through an evolution, motivated by Scott's transformation to the wolf. Although he undermines his own team as his ego grows, they still do start to look like a team.

Because of the gameplay, the comeback is believable, and everything from the made shots, to the dumb misses, to the bumbling at times just looks and feels like most high school basketball. Even the audience reactions are amazing. This was done before the era where ALL sound was done in post production, so we're hearing genuine human reactions that just bring back those feelings in the real gym watching games.
Even the commonly name-checked "Great" sports films lack this quality. Films like "Hoosiers", "Remember the Titans", "Rudy", "Field of Dreams", and many others actually annoy me because the game play is nowhere near being believable. When it's not believable gameplay, the moments are robbed of their tension. And without tension, there can be no genuine release. If you don't believe me, go back and watch those films. Focus only on the gameplay with sound off to really see how bad it is. Most of those films are actually laughable when you watch. It doesn't feel like they pull of a miracle, it feels like they win because the script says so. Great sports films keep you on the edge even when you know the outcome. Like "Miracle" where literally everyone on earth knows that USA beats Russia is still so suspenseful because of how it's shot.
3) Subverting the sports narrative
I think the this final scene brings everything together and one of the most satisfying conclusions to a film ever and it does it without giving in to the normal.
First, the choice of "Win in the End" was brilliant. That song and it's lyrics are so perfect for this moment. It's not about being "Better" than anyone. It's not even really about competition like "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky or "You're the Best" from Karate Kid. This song is about not hiding from your own identity which lines up with Scott's decision NOT to be the Wolf even when he knows it guarantees victory. It's about rising up, conquering fears, knowing you can reach beyond your limits and find your potential. (Google the lyrics... its brilliant!).
Second- The honest portrayal of the game. Low scoring, no unbelievably impressive athleticism, no "Buzzer beater from Downtown" type shots, this is just gritty and real.
Third- The way Scott finally wins. Control of his emotions, ending his selfish ways, showing maturity, and Focus. He shows control of his emotions while taking a literal beating from Mick the entire game. He is in control enough not to retaliate and draw dumb fouls and hurt his team. Then, he is unselfish and gets his teammates involved in the game. By leading instead of pushing them out of the way, he is able to get them to play their best which is what they needed to overcome a superior opponent.
The choice to have the game end with two free throws might be the most brilliant ending possible. Most people think of Free-throws as easy, or a "gimmie". Not true. Free throws take skill, but above all, they take focus, and control. This is precisely what Scott has learned throughout his journey. Any other film would have had him win on a three-pointer or a buzzer-beater from Half-court. Instead, Scott wins by showing his growth, maturation, and ability to control his emotions.
Lastly, my very favorite moment comes at the end. While watching his son overcome all of his obstacles, then choosing Boof over Pamela, the father just sits there in the stands for a few seconds giving his son that moment. He just watches with the most proud look imaginable on his face. Truly a brilliant ending to a film that was probably so close to being just another ridiculous teen-comedy.
If you read this far, you are a trooper. Sorry for the book, but I had a lot of feelings to get out after watching this for the first time in many years!
When this movie came out I was in high school and this movie take back to those times what memories.
Great memories....life seemed so simple back then! The world has certainly got a lot more complicated and fucked up since
Very meaningful and realistic scene there at the end between Boof and Pamela. Scott always knew that Boof was always the biggest supporter throughout his whole journey and the only girl that actually cared about him as a person. I love how he just goes past Pamela, acting like she’s not even there at all and just goes straight to the REAL person where the real love is. Just goes to show that Pamela only cared about Scotts popularity and wolf 🐺 form. But whether rich or poor, popular or unpopular, tall or short, Boof is the girl that cares only about the heart ❤️ in someone. Can’t imagine if Boof had been the one that got ignored. Would’ve been pretty sad….
I remember watching this movie almost on repeat as a kid, good times. The sequel, not so much 😂
@daimo_4750 scott should've cameo at end in the boxing ring.I always thought
MJF scored a lot during this montage, but the unsung hero was #45. Scored 8pts, 3 Blocks, 2 Rebounds, 1 assist. Also, everybody catch the guy in the stands who's pants are open? 8:13 top left. What was he doing before he had to stand?
Scott Gentilcore you'll have to excuse my friend Tyler. See, he has a very addictive gambling issue and a rare mental tick that causes him to rub one out when there's high stakes involved, and let's just say if the Dragons would have won, he'd be into some unpleasant men for$5,000. And that's the reason Tyler and I went our separate ways as friends!!! 😂😂 Damn I've got waaaay 2 much time on my hands!!!
That's a woman, they were real tight Jean's back then. Apparently they had to sit for hours recording that scene and most of the woman opened there Jean's when it got to uncomfortable.
That is AWESOME. Never noticed that before lol 😂
@JL Shaw ha ha good one. She is so fit.
Haha I never noticed that
I watch this video and i cry ... Great moments....
Greatest scene in movie history.. bleacher guy showing his junk and nobody catching it. 8:12…. CLASSIC !
just had to come hear after it was referred on Family Guy episode parody of the Emperor Strikes Back, only they said his whole package was displayed.
#45 MVP, huge block at the end, too.
GreensRams he had like a triple double
Man yeah 45 was throwing they shit
" I will change the pattern, steal the ring from Saturn, and forge myself into a man of WAR!"
R.I.P. director Rod Daniel! :-(
One of the best indepent song (in germany) ever, the 80's had the best film music
2:58 is the best part, after Mick hits him and Scott's like ha that was four one more and you're done. that look on Mick's face. he got me Scott planned and knew Mick would hit him and took it love it
That’s the moment Mick knew he fucked up
This montage with the song actually makes me think of the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2014-2015 season. They were doing good but then one of their star player, Patrick Kane got seriously injured by being fouled. He was going to be out for the rest of the regular season but would be better in time for the playoffs. But many people thought that with Kane out, they'd never make it to the playoffs now. Even I had my doubts. But the team pulled together and won more than enough games to get into the playoffs and to top it off, THEY WON THE STANLEY CUP! Just like in this montage, the team won because they worked together as a team instead of relying on just one player.
One of my fave endings ever to any movie. It’s classic
Best 80s movie of all time
I have always wanted to say this since I was little!!!!! Being a basketball player MJF is ok, but the redhead dude on his team I can see knew how to ball.
It was like the 1998, 1999 early 2000s Utah Jazz offense where they would do alot of UCLA cuts and Chubbs would do screans for M.J.F. and someone also mentioned his support cast of help from shot blocking and rebounding from his other teammates and outlet passes for quick scores. Hard earned baskets with no jump shots all in the paint!
4:04, imagine Bob Knight, watching one of his players jumping into his teammates arms in celebration while the game is still in play, only to give up an easy layoff on the other end of the court as a result.
Scott finally stepped out of the wolf's shadow, to lead his team to victory and earn their respect back
As human
I love how this is high school but not one player on either team looks younger than 32
Lol 😂
And some people really thought the head Dragons jerk was Mike Piazza for a while…
As a kid watching teen wolf . I seen this movie as comical and entertaining. Then I realized when I’m older this scene sent a message. If you work hard & be yourself. We can accomplish anything and be successful. This is why Teen wolf is my all time favorite movie
Micheal is a real life hero! Blessings to all!
Movie production crew: We need you to come up with a song for a scene in this movie.
Mark Safan: What happens in the scene?
Movie crew: He wins in the end.
Mark Safan: Say no more
I love watching this video over and over it brings back happy feelings, its such a feel good song it just makes you want to be in the bleachers. Another one that's fun to watch and is a feel good is John Waite "Change" especially if you watch it with the clip from Vision Quest.
This film came out when I was a month old. My brother and I watched it religiously as a kids. Absolutely love it!
Great memories! I love this movie.
As an 80's kid and subsequently someone who pretty much loathes modern day - I've seen this movie many many times. Watching this scene I just noticed - how cool is it that Mr Howard knowingly let Boof go first, and let his son and his sweetheart have their moment and kiss and THEN only did Mr Howard go in for a hug too. (And yes, back then Mr, and Mrs was all we knew and to this day, my friends parents are Mr and Mrs....ok, go back to tattoos and whazzup dawg lives now, enjoy)
Awesome movie. The coach was the best!!!!! So fun to watch him. He was hilarious 😂
Boy, they make endings like this anymore. Teen flicks in the 80s were really special
That rebound at 4:11 though. Now that's effort.
Brandon Lewis they can't coach skill sets like that, it's something you're born with!!! 😂😂😂
Happy 38th Anniversary "TEEN WOLF" (AUGUST 23, 1985)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐺🐾 I LOVE WEREWOLVES SO MUCH 🐺🐾💙💚💙💛
love this movie! I also love how the coach never does jack shi* but eat an egg the whole series. Never a time out or play call, just a well I don't know look always.
this scene with MJF in his office when he says 'Never get less than 12 hours sleep, never play cards with a guy with the same first name as a city, and never date a girl with a tattoo of a dagger on her body' is the only point in the movie where my dad laughed.
@Gary York what? Yea 🧂 salt
And in his office he could chew gum, work an electric shaver and eat KFC all at the same time lol
@@ryanrogers6974 🤣 lmao never thought of that
Really like this song and the ending to the movie was awesome ! I was about 11 when I first saw this movie .
I love this movie especially this song, I want to use it for a montage of my sons highlight
football clips.
Beautiful and brilliant!
I always laugh at 4:00 when Scott celebrates over the top by jumping into his teammate's arms while the opponent goes coast to coast for an easy bucket lol..
Also did u notice right after that when Scott hits the 3 they give them 4 points lol
I never forget this song, very inspiring!
This is such a great scene!
7.00 when you know you have lost the game😕
7.04 when you know you have won the game😊
One of my favorite movies of all time in my childhood
awesome loved this film when I was young
how cute was booth 😍😘
cute? I think GORGEOUS! her smile says it all!
I always prefered Pamela big time buddy.
+Dani Feany ur an idiot, always go for Booth!!
Dani Feany she wore a grandma dress at the dance while boot showed some serious skin
sliat1981 yea she did! Booth definitely showed some major skin!
Every time I see the film and the end it emotionally hits me
8:13 the guy with the red shirt. 💀
Great movie great actor great soundtrack!!
This is what got Australians interested in basketball. Now it's a major sport here
one of the most heavily recruited areas in the world right now. Seton Hall in '89 (robbed of the national title) had a great shooter in Andrew Gaze and then the late great coach Rick Majerus started making Australian recruits a top priority at St. Louis. They are fundamentally sound and well-coached by the time they get here.
I loved the montage at the end they just played and Scott was himself..them doing this made me face my bullys and stand up for who I am..cause that's what Scott and his team do.
7:00 Failure was served, mid-1980s style.
Goosebump time.........🔥❤🔥❤🔥
