"In the Ride"

"Hey Manti, you ridin' today homie?"

Bo Bennett once said, “For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.” Ben Franklin broke us off by saying, “Half truth is often a great lie.” Paulo Coelho shut the building down when he said this, “No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.”

Manti Te’o sat down with ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap on Friday night to tell his side of the story. However, this dun refused to do it on camera which further raises eyebrows because boyz can’t look into those eyes that my man Paulo just told us about. Ole boy is adamantly denying that he had ANYTHING to do with the hoax. That’s his story and he’s sticking with it.

Well let me break this joint down in my Big Momma, Madea, Memma, Nana, La abuela,  La Tina a lo’u (Samoan) voice or whatever genre you’re singing in bruh, “If you never met her baby, she ain’t yo girlfriend! So if you’re running around telling folks that she is, you lyin’! That’s lie #1!”

Look here homeboy, you’re talking to some real G’s out here! So let’s stop with the whole "I'm innocent role" and man up. Stop telling folks that you didn’t have anything to do with the hoax if you kept perpetuating a lie even after you knew what time it was. That’s lie #2.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! I don’t know how they get down in Hawaii but where I’m from, if you are with someone that commits a crime and you do nothing to stop it or to report it. Then you're just as guilty of the crime as the dun doing all of the work.

You’re like the cat that’s riding around with his homie’s smoking weed and drinking. Then all of a sudden unbeknownst to you they decide that they’re gonna rob banks all day. Now you didn’t get in the ride to rob banks you got in the joint to smoke and drink. So you decide that you’re not going to participate but you wanna ride anyway. For the next 3 months you ride with them and while they run in to pull robberies you sit in the car and smoke weed and drink! Because smoking and drinking is better to you while you’re riding. There's something about the vibrations of the vehicle that helps your buzz, right?

When they arrest these duns for robbing banks you’re going to jail too pimpin’! Just because you didn’t go in, put on a ski mask, pull a trigger or carry any bread out you were still involved. So therefore, you can’t show up to court and say you weren’t there because everybody saw you in the ride.

Every time Te'o did an interview and told boyz that his girl was the most amazing person he’d ever "met" he was in the ride. Every interview that he did post December 6th when he says he supposedly found out he was duped and kept the story going. He was in the ride. When he said in the Jeremy Schaap interview, “So I kind of tailored my stories to have people think that, yeah he met her before she passed away.” He was in the ride!

When he lied to his old man and told him that his girl flew to Hawaii in 2011 to see him and his dad in turn repeated the lie to reporters when asked about it and he never corrected it. He was in the ride! When the story was printed and constantly repeated that he met her at Stanford in 2009 after the ND/Stanford game and he never made it right! He was in the freaking ride homeboy drunk and as high as Snoop and Wiz Khalifa at a Cheech and Chong birthday party!!

So don’t tell all of these REAL cats out here that you had NOTHING to do with it because you’re disrespecting our intelligence. If Te'o can say that he had nothing to do with it and folks will believe it. Then let all of the homies out of jail doing 15-20 for just being in the ride too because they're just as innocent.

"That's my linebacker"

Also let me address the clowns that fell for the Oakey Doke that the Notre Dame AD, Jack Swarbrick, ran when he got on television crying and carry on. For all of you that believed that this cat was crying because one of the THOUSANDS of student athletes that have come through the doors of ND on his watch got played online. I’ve got some palm trees, home grown alligators and million dollar homes to sell you in the middle of the projects in Gary, In., playboy.

This cat was crying because he knows that he and ND covered this foolishness up for way too long and he's about to lose the best AD's job in America when it’s all said and done. Notre Dame knew way more about this foolishness than they're leading us to believe. But just like I told you when the Sandusky joint jumped off at Penn State that boyz in the athletic department knew what time it was and the shoes are gonna fall at Notre Dame too.

The Fightin' Irish got crazy attention this year not only because of the football team winning but because the Manti story was Hollywood and boyz ate it up. So why stop the foolishness if we can make money off of it in the process. Think about the amount of magazine covers this dun was on this year not because of what he did on the field but because of this story! The more publicity the school gets the more bread it generates. The more cats apply, the more popular the school gets, the more valuable it becomes to the BCS! Like I always say in my Huggy Low Down voice, “Waaait for it!” Because it's only gonna get worse before it gets better and stop me when I start lyin' playa!

Holla At Ya Boy!
