In the clip, Sudeikis, who wears an American flag jacket but speaks in a non-American accent, shares some inspirational words and lights a fire under his team with lines like, “I picked you up out of the water with my hands, from the scruffs of your necks, and I looked at you and said, ‘You will be a champion! Or not.'”
