Mic Check!

"You gotta know when to say when bruh!"

If Joe Montana can be traded to the Kansas City Chiefs after winning 4 Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49'rs nothing surprises me. If the greatest wide receiver to ever play the game, Jerry Rice, can be cut only to go across the bay and wear a Raiders uniform anything is possible. If the all-time leading rusher in NFL history, Emmitt Smith, can end up in Arizona with the ole timers and snow birds anything is plausible. If Michael Jordan can retire and then show up in a Washington Wizards uniform and not a Chicago Bulls joint. I'm quite sure the good people of Indianapolis can get used to the fact that Peyton Manning will be playing somewhere else next season!

The Colts have chosen to release the 14 year veteran quarterback and move on as they have pretty much gutted the joint after a dismal 2-14 campaign in 2011. They've already fired the chairman Bill Polian, his son general manager Chris Polian, head coach Jim Caldwell and most of his assistants. Anyone with half a brain could see that Peyton didn't stand a chance of making it out of that tornado unharmed.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, which ever comes first! The Colts would have been crazy to keep Manning around! They've got the first pick in the draft coming up in April which will be quarterback Andrew Luck and they've got to pay him ridiculous guaranteed money on GP (General Purposes). So like I've been saying since mid-season, you can't pay Peyton $28 million and Luck at least $22 million in guarantees (that's what Came Newton got last year) and they play the same position. Somebody's got to sit on the bench bruh!

It's called professional sports for a reason! It's all business and never personal. Pro sports is like the rap game, it's strictly a young man's game with the exception of JayZ! Peyton, let me holla at you bruh! After 14 years behind center and 3 neck surgeries later, in my opinion, it's time to put the mic up! I know that you want to continue playing somewhere else, but why? Remember how embarrassing it was to see Jerry Rice in a Seattle Seahawks uniform? C'mon bruh, put the mic down and back away slowly!

There's nothing else to do but ride off into the sunset and in five years you'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame! Don't do this to yourself. Don't become a laughing stock and a Saturday Night Live punch line! Remember when Air Jordan was in Washington and would get the joint in transition and he couldn't dunk anymore. C'mon bruh don't do it. It never ends good. You'll go to another team and after a year or two of mediocrity you'll retire only to be re-signed by the Colts for one day so that you can retire a Colt anyway. Just pull the trigger now and save us from having to listen to the album that never should have been recorded.

Holla At Ya Boy!

The tragedy in pro sports and in the rap game is when guys stay too long! Remember how LL Cool J just kept making records and nobody was interested even though the joints were hot! Don't sleep because that "G.O.A.T" joint released in 2000 was blazing! I hear you young boyz in the background saying, "LL?" Don’t get it twisted, L was on the of the baddest battle emcee’s to ever hold a mic. Ya’ll just got turned on to him after he calmed down, start licking his lips and taking his shirt off. I've got five words for you bruh, "Cool Moe Dee and Cannibas!" He single handedly destroyed their careers. The only problem was that the record buying audience never grew up. It always remains 14-24 years old bruh! So whatever you've got to say you better be able to say it to a kid or that joint isn’t going to sell. JayZ has survived however, because he's talking the universal language of money and hustling! It’s time to pull a Snoop Dogg and “Back up off of it and sit yo cup down!”

The problem with guys like Peyton is that they can't come to grips with their mortality. I'll tell you this; if he doesn't want to accept it now he will the first time his left tackle misses an assignment. He's going to break a record trying to get that uniform off bruh! He may sprint off of the field butt naked if he can still walk. I'm no doctor but a neck injury isn't something to play with bruh! He's got a wife and two kids to think about. Michael Irving didn‘t hesitate to take that joint off! At the end of the day it's just not worth going back into the booth to record an album that nobody is interested in listening to especially when they‘ve got the new Drake on deck!

Holla At Ya Boy!
