Nothing quite compares to the chills running through your body like a moving, inspiring, motivational speech. From our athletic childhood days, through adolescence and for those fortunate enough, college and even up through the pros, a great speech inspires like nothing else. The big screen has offered us some of the best motivating words and with the college football season kicking off this past weekend, it’s time to take a look at some of the greatest speeches to get us geared up for another great year on the gridiron. For the sports enthusiast, or all around movie buff, there is no disputing these are nine of the best inspiring scenes, with some already having made the cut to appear on a Muze t-shirt! Check them out and by all means, let us know what inspiring scenes move you.
With the economic woes currently affecting everyone throughout the country, one would wonder why Hollywood isn’t capitalizing more on a topic that hits nearly every American home.

The one-liners have already begun to circulate the office numerous times throughout the week and with that, we offer up the top 9 lines from the hilarious film we believe will be quoted for years to come…

Brennan: It will give us so much extra space in our room to do activities!

4. Dale: Did you touch my drumset?

Dale: Why are you so sweaty?
Brennan: I was watching cops.
5. Brennan: Alright. If you were a chick, whose the one guy you would sleep with? Brennan and Dale: John Stamos.
