I thought they worked in the "life is pain" quote very well really, and for many of the Cowboys fans I know anyway, it was very appropriate this season.

Such a great movie, so many lines...

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." has always been my favorite and the first thing I think of when I hear "Princess Bride".

I can't remember the exact words, but loved the part where the giant is whining that it's not fair fighting one guy since he's used to fighting "packs of men".  LOL
