"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

Thought I was in good shape when I kicked it off with a Purple.

This was one of those ones where if I really took my time and was more careful I think I could have maybe done better, but that involves being willing to take that extra time haha.

Since I am older I kept trying to get 'roller' in with the derbies.
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.

Disappointed I didn't get Purple. Should have been obvious.

I knew the purple category right from my first glance at the puzzle but there were just too many possibilities for it. I recognized that and left it alone for a couple guesses but I couldn't resist with guess number three.

In a situation like that, where you see 5 or more words that work for a category, the best thing to do in my opinion is to just stay away from it and resist the temptation to guess it. I very rarely hit it when I do that. Much better to just patiently try to find other stuff, which will eventually eliminate one or more of those 5-plus words. It's annoying, but if you're going for the best possible outcome I think you have to resist that temptation in those situations. I sometimes don't. I should always.
