"It Ain't Cool 'Til I Say It's Cool"

"Hey bruh! Are we at football practice or in the streets? It's the same thing rookie!"

Not four days ago I wrote a ridiculously Hot Joint entitled "Locker Room Drama" where I told boyz that the New York Jets had essentially lost 8 games already because of terrible team chemistry. Their locker room is a mess because cats don't respect one another point blank. When clowns like Santonio Holmes just might say anything at anytime and  Antonio Cromartie starts trippin' by saying he's the 2nd wide receiver on the squad and he's a corner things get dicey bruh.

If you remember I said this in that joint, "The locker room ain't nothing but the streets because it's always divided into territories and factions. If the wide receivers got beef with Cro and a couple of linebackers are cool with the wide receivers then they've got beef with Cro too and so on and so forth. So it's not just Cro having beef with a couple of wide outs. He's got beef with 15 other cats because of loyalties and in turn they got beef with another 10 to 15. So in all actuality, you've got almost 30 or more players at odds because 1 cat didn't have the wisdom to pass on a clown question. Y'all know how the streets work bruh!"

Well on Monday those tensions exploded into a brawl near the sidelines causing reporters to scatter. Back up running back Joe McKnight got frustrated when rookie safety D'Anton Lynn pushed him out of bounds while McKnight was running a sweep towards the sideline. McKnight threw the ball right at Lynn after the play was over and boyz quickly jumped in causing a pile up very close to the fans.

I know boyz will say that fights happen all of the time at training camp and that's true. However, these duns were trippin' anyway because of the foolishness from last week that I've been talking to you about. The locker room is a mess because The Notorious R.E. X. has no control of the joint. Teams typically get their personality from their head coach bruh. Rex is loose with his comments in the media so guess what? The players are going to be loose with their comments in the media even when talking about their teammates. It's just that simple and that's why the joints out of control.

Do you ever hear the boyz across town talking crazy in the media? Why? Because Coughlin doesn't talk crazy in the media. Do you ever hear Belichick say anything note worthy? Not at all bruh! Therefore, his players don't have much to say either. The tone is set by the head coach. That's why the Giants and the Patriots keep winning and the Jets are continuously the clowns on Sports Center that cats keep around to laugh at. They've got crazy talent but can't win at the level needed to because team chemistry is always shot.

They're down to 9 loses now bruh because like I said in the Locker Room Drama joint, "It ain't over 'til the person wronged says that it's over." Not only are the wide receivers holdin’ on to the beef with Cro and all of the mess that he has created but now you’ve got Lynn and his boyz looking for revenge on McKnight because it ain’t cool until they say it’s cool.

 How many times have you seen a cat get shot in the street that didn’t have anything to do with the original beef? He was 2^nd or 3^rd down the list from the original cat beefin’ and he was shot by the guys boy that was the original dun that he was beefin’ with. So instead of preparing for the next game/ scrimmage etc. boyz are wasting time plotting just like they do in the streets.

If you want to understand how things work in the real world always pay attention to the streets. Every fundamental lesson on survival, hustling, networking and succeeding is played out in the streets. You didn’t have to know anything about football to see that brawl coming this week because the fuse was lit last week when Cromartie said that he was the # 2 wide out on the squad.

Anytime boyz start beefin’ in the streets it’s guaranteed to get physical or shots will be fired before it’s over. Just ask ya boy Montee Ball, the University of Wisconsin Heisman Trophy Finalist from last year, if I’m lying to ya. He got tapped up because he and his boyz opened a sore that boyz couldn’t rest until it got closed.  Why? Because it ain’t cool until they say it’s cool. Now that the Jets have made it physical boyz are plotting and they're suddenly out of the playoffs without even playing the 1st game.  

Holla At Ya Boy!
