"Yeah, I know! These duns are out of control!"

The 20th President of the United States, James Garfield, once said, “The possession of great powers no doubt carries with it contempt for mere external show.” The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes gave it to us like this, “I put for the general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death.” Big Momma just said, “Some folks just can’t handle being that powerful!”

I wrote a Blazin’ Hot Joint back in October entitled "Foolish Pride" that has become one of the All-Time most viewed joints on the blog! I merely explained to all of the Alabama fans that they needed to just enjoy their recent success and stop talking crazy to the rest of the college football world because it only lasts for a little while before the wheels come off! There have been several college football dynasty's before this one and there will be more but they don't last forever playboy!

It wasn’t a hater move it was just some real talk! A hater would print those kids names knowing that Big Monma is already heart broken! I didn't because I've got more sense than that.

Nick Saban and his staff can’t keep an eye on 100 plus 18-22 year old kids any more than any other coach in America. On every campus in the country that has a football team they think that they run the yard whether they are winning or losing playboy! They fall off in the party and just take over the joint. They bum rush the Greeks steppin' around the floor, they'll holla at ya girl if she's lookin' or not and there goes the party! TURNED OUT! Trust me, I've been in the middle of enough of those joints in my day!

Now combine that with winning 3 out of the last 4 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, playing in the SEC, in the south where football is a religion and tell me that you weren’t waiting for some dun to lose his mind and pull a Maurice Clarett or Charles Thompson? Can you imagine the high these cats are walking around with? We've seen this happen with Colorado '91, OU '88, just recently at Ohio State and Florida! It was bound to happen and none of them were even close to doing what Bama's doing right now! Why? Because like Big Momma said, "Some folks just can't handle being that POWERFUL!"

On Tuesday the University of Alabama suspended 4 players for charges of second degree robbery and credit card fraud! One dun was arrested twice in two days for also carrying a gun without a license. It’s not Bama’s fault bruh! It’s happens but don’t think for one minute that this is the first incident that’s come across Saban’s desk since he’s been rolling in Tuscaloosa.

Naw bruh, things happen all of the time but it never makes the news. The only difference between this joint and others is that these clowns got too cocky and sloppy. They started beating duns up in the dorms and robbing Joe's using their credit cards and the police couldn’t just turn their cheeks to boyz carrying guns and knocking students out. They were literally beating the brakes off of students on campus! One kid suffered a concussion! They're were straight thuggin' bruh! Do I condone this behavior? Not at all, but it isn't surprising because you've got idiots on every team in America!

Now it’s a safety issue! So they had to slow these boyz down at this point. Not everybody on the team comes from a home where values and integrity are taught. Some cats are straight out of the streets and sports become no different than the streets. The same power that the hustla gets back at the crib the athlete gets on campus. They get the money, women, power and respect from the duns that want to be them when they show up to the party or to class. Put that type of power in the wrong hands and this is what you get.

Unfortunately for Alabama, now that these cats have been suspended they run the risk of somebody putting on the instrumental because one of these duns is about to start rapping. The first cat that feels like the school railroaded him is gonna tell it all. And when I say all, I MEAN ALL!

He’s gonna be like the cats on First 48 that show up tough as nails and by the time the detective pulls his seat over next to him, holds his hand and says, “We’ll get through this together.” He’ll be singing like Luther or Frank Ocean up in that piece or rappin’ like Run DMC on that first album “Rock Box!” I can hear that joint now, “It’s like that and that’s the way it is!” Boyz gotta be real careful on how they handle this situation because all it takes is a cat to be pissed off at the program and it’s a wrap.

Alabama could have done everything right but you cannot control the actions of more than 100 18-22 year old kids! Boyz are eating for free, getting tattoos too, gettin' discounts at the mall, 100 handshakes, you name it. You can’t stop it bruh and that’s on losing teams. Remember, these cats have won the last 3 out of 4! So when this cat steps up to the mic, tell him to record a radio version too because it's gonna get ugly!

Holla At Ya Boy!
