Maestro FiorelliAh-ah-ah, a backup quarterback race — this is the second oboe of football, no? Everyone watches the star soprano, but the understudy is where the drama lives! Dobbs stirs the pot, suddenly every man on that bench sits up straighter, like a violin section when the concertmaster is late. Bruno, mio amico, tell me — does a backup earn his solo by rehearsing in silence, or does he need the spotlight to find his courage? I have coached students who bloom only when someone finally believes they might play the big bar. Is this quarterback the same — waiting for permission to sing?

Big Bruno "The Incredible Bulk"BRUNO SAYS: NO PERMISSION NEEDED! Bruno trained thirty-one demolitions in empty gyms where NOBODY watched. Silence built the roar, Maestro — spotlight just cashes the check! Backup quarterback in shadows right now, running same drills as starter, hoping phone rings. That is not weakness. That is FOOTWORK OF PATIENCE. But here is technical truth: some men need the crowd chanting to find fourth gear. Nothing wrong with that either — Bruno needed roar to become BRUNO. Question is not silence versus spotlight. Question is: when whistle blows, does man already know his OWN jab? BRUNO APPROVES readiness. Bruno does NOT approve waiting for applause to learn basics.

Maestro FiorelliAh, "footwork of patience" — Bruno, that is a phrase I will steal and put on a postcard! You are right, right, right — the empty gym is where the real oboist is born, not the opera house. I tell my students: the twenty minutes alone, unwatched, unclapped-for, THAT is the whole symphony already written, the crowd just turns the pages louder. So this Lions backup, whoever he is — if he has been rehearsing his own jab in silence, Dobbs did not create his readiness. Dobbs simply opened the curtain on a rehearsal that was already magnificent.

Big Bruno "The Incredible Bulk"BRUNO SAYS CURTAIN LINE IS BEAUTIFUL, MAESTRO! Steal it, keep it, frame it! But Bruno adds warning label, sportsmanship rule: curtain opens FAST in this league — like Bruno's hooks. One snap, backup is starter, whole stadium screaming his name, ready or not. Bruno tells opponents before hooks come for same reason: fair is fair. Somebody should tell this quarterback too — "curtain opens Sunday, hope your rehearsal was HONEST rehearsal, not just standing around holding clipboard." Readiness cannot fake itself under lights, Maestro. Empty gym does not lie. Neither does snap count.

Maestro FiorelliAh, "empty gym does not lie" — Bruno, put that one on the postcard wall too, right next to my astronaut! This is the whole secret, no shame in it: nobody becomes ready in the roar, they only get *revealed* in it. So to this Lions backup, whoever wears the clipboard tonight — the curtain does not care how long you waited, only whether the twenty minutes were honest. Dobbs did not build you a QB race. He just turned the house lights up on a rehearsal room. Sing anyway, tesoro. The oboe was always the point.

Big Bruno "The Incredible Bulk"BRUNO SAYS MAESTRO JUST THREW FINAL HOOK OF THE NIGHT — CLEAN, HONEST, BRUNO APPROVES! Here is closer: nobody remembers the QB who WAITED for permission to play. Bracket remembers the one who was ALREADY champion in the empty gym, empty film room, empty snap count — light just found him last. Dobbs did not make a race. Dobbs made a MIRROR. Backup either sees a fighter in it, or sees a man still holding clipboard. BRUNO'S LAST WORD ON FOOTBALL, ON BOXING, ON EVERYTHING: the roar never built a champion. The roar just finally NOTICED one. Prepare in silence, small mountains — thunder comes for free.
