If ever a sports personality were defined by a single press conference – even a lone soundbite – it might be Herman Edwards, the New York Jets’ head coach, whose rant from a podium on October 30, 2002 both inspired his team and became a punch line for years to come. Edwards was an Eagles defensive back in the 1970s and 80s who returned the infamous fumble for a game-winning TD in the "Miracle at the Meadowlands." His drive and passion for football helped make him an NFL head coach from 2001 to 2008. In his first season, he led the Jets to a 10-6 record, but the next season began in disappointing fashion, especially in Week 8 when New York lost to the Browns after blowing a lead, dropping to 2-5. At a media session a few days later, the 48-year-old Edwards, wearing a baggy grey NFL sweatshirt, was asked by a reporter whether he would address his team about not giving up on the season. “You play to win the game! Hello?” Edwards said during an impassioned speech about not quitting. “You play to win the game!” And his team sure did: the Jets won 7 of its final 9 regular season games, and advanced to the AFC Divisional Round.
