Not sure who produced this video, but the audio comes from Versus’ 2009 campaign. Here’s the monologue:
Here’s the thing that makes life so interesting: The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive. Maybe so, maybe so.
But the theory of competition says, just because they are the strong doesn’t mean they can’t get their asses kicked. That’s right.
See, what every long shot come from behind underdog will tell you, is this: The other guy may in fact be the favorite, the odds may be stacked against you, fair enough. But what the odds don’t know is this isn’t a math test. This is a completely different kind of test – one where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.
So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking, just remember: Out here, the results don’t always add up, no matter what the stats may say.
And the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted. When the race is on, all bets are off. Don’t be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script, take a pass on yelling uncle.
And then suddenly, as the old saying goes, We’ve Got Ourselves a Game.
