"So sacrifice for your family at home, you're sacrificing for your country, and you're sacrificing for the brothers in the trenches with you every single day. And that's one thing I want us to do, fellas. I want to die on that field with you."

Judge highlighted the caliber of talent in the room and set a standard of hard work and dedication for the team.
