"The Water Gun Speech"

"What's that? I wear a 6X & make sure I've got under arm room cuz I sweat a lot!

On December 8, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the famous “Infamy Speech” to a Joint Session of Congress one day after the Empire of Japan’s attack on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii.  They call it the Infamy Speech because the first line in the speech was, “A date that will live in Infamy.” On that day 2,403 people were killed, 188 planes were destroyed and 8 battleships were damaged.

Well… in the NFL, Monday December 31, 2012 will be known as Black Monday because 7 head coaches were fired along with 6 GM’s including my cousin Rod Graves with the Cardinals. I’m praying for you big homie and we're proud of all the work you've done! Keep hustlin' bruh!

So today I’ll be giving what will forever be known as "The Water Gun Speech.” When the news broke that Lovie Smith (Bears), Andy Reid (Philly), Ken Whisenhunt (Arizona), Norv Turner (Chargers), Chan Gailey (Bills), Pat Shurmur (Cleveland) and Romeo Crennel (Kansas City) were fired I was blown away. I started thinking, man these boyz are unemployed! What are they going to do? This was a straight up blood bath, a career massacre bruh!

Then reality set in. This is the NFL and they weren’t shooting with real bullets homeboy. They were in the back yard with water pistols bruh! The coaching fraternity is so small that all they’re going to do is swap shirts! These duns aren’t like the rest of us in the real world if/when we happen to get fired. See when a normal Joe gets fired he’s trying to make sure that he has enough bread saved. He quickly runs down to the unemployment office to file for benefits and starts hustling to find a new gig ASAP.

Even with some major hustling it still may take a year or two in this economy to find something comparable to what he or she had because of all of the qualified people that are out of work as well.

So let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! There are only 32 to 36 people in the WORLD that can do what these cats can do, in terms of head coaches and less than 64 in terms of coordinators. So the fraternity is so tight that boys will be working by this time next week.

All they’ll do is change shirts and keep driving. Both Andy Reid and Lovie Smith will be head coaches somewhere next season and on some real talk, they’ll have a new gig by Sunday! The rest of those duns will be coordinators next year. Whizenhunt is an offensive genius so he’ll be an O.C. very quickly. People love Romeo Crennel around the league. How can you not like a stud named Romeo? Now he won’t get another head job but he’ll be a defensive coordinator fa sho. The same goes for Shurmur, Gailey and Turner.

Like I said, these boyz ain’t shooting real bullets out here. They’ve got the cold water running and filling up water guns on a 92 degree day. They’ll be dry by the time they come in for dinner and Big Momma won’t know the difference.

Holla At Ya Boy!
