Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!
Probably my personal favorite sports movie of all time. The true story of the Permian High School Panthers as they beat the odds in Texas' highly competitive football world. This movie deals with many of the same conflicts that "Varsity Blues" did, but in a much less exploitive (and no less enjoyable) manner. Lucas Black, Derek Luke, Billy Bob Thornton, and even Tim McGraw turn in pitch perfect performances. I've always heard great things about the TV show, but I can't imagine it would come anywhere close to the greatness of this film.
