In the middle of his football-themed address, Tomlin challenged the graduates to play to win, but then shifted the definition of winning beyond the obvious scoreboard metrics of fame and fortune. He told them that true success comes from how you play the game, honoring those who came before you with great integrity, honor, and class. He emphasized that graduates have an obligation to give back to their communities, to be great members of society, and to make the world a better place for their children and their children's children. While this may not register on the scoreboard of life, it is an obligation everyone shares.
