To the Pain, boys.
"To the pain means that the first thing you lose will be the lead in the first minutes. Then your Defensive Ends will be injured, next your Nose... The next thing you lose will be your Left Corner, followed by your Right Corner. [...] Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why: so that every shriek of every Yinzer in the stands at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, 'Dear God! What is that thing?' will echo in your perfect ears. That is what 'to the pain' means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, for this season."
