A: Looks like incorrect use of 'as well.'
B: Holding...
C: Streaming... it should be 'stream'
D: I love the not only X but Y idiom
E: Streaming... it should be 'stream'
I was not able to find a concrete reasons to shoot down B, but I like the use of the idiom in D and 'also' seems a bit weird in B. I'm going with D.

I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
