It's something that reflects pride in their profession,

By profession I am a Soldier and take pride in that fact, but I am prouder to be a father

We take more pride in our profession than that. All of us just want this to put it behind us so we can build on it and move forward.

Pride, avarice, and envy are in every home.

They take a lot of pride in being the Patriots, and we take a lot of pride in being the Crusaders.

Nobody likes to be considered a rollover or a laughingstock. I think guys are taking pride in the notion we can play and compete with some of these teams, so why not? Why end and just mail in the season? Go as hard as you can and mess things up at the top of the standings a little bit while you're in the process.
