What’s an underdog?

Someone with the odds stacked against them? The guy who’s “supposed to lose?”

Maybe. Maybe not.

But the Underdog isn’t about where you’re from. It’s where you’re at.

It’s an attitude, and one you don’t want to mess with.

It’s fighting for the little guy.

It’s taking down a giant.

It’s Cassius Clay in ‘64 and Jake Lamotta in every swing.

It’s Joe Namath’s guarantee.

It’s the Miracle in Lake Placid, the helmet catch that ruined perfection, and it’s Michael Jordan’s

high school coach telling him better luck next year.

But it can also be anyone.

Anyone who’s ever wanted to do something that someone told them they couldn’t.

Like the woman who invented windshield wipers.

Or the first guy to put marshmallows in his cereal. Love that guy.

It’s young Steve Jobs, but it’s also Steve, from accounting, who just wants to do one hell of a job.

It’s anyone who’s ever upset the odds, and anyone who continues to do so.

That’s an underdog.
