The Fella's Handbook

Andy Enfield FGCU head coach: "What do you want me to say bruh?"

The famous columnist, Harold Coffin, was smooth when he said, “Envy is the art of counting the other fellow’s blessing instead of your own.” James Hubert Blake an early 20th century African-American composer said it this way, “Never trust anyone who wants what you’ve got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.” Aristotle was thinking like a G when he said, “Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbor to have them through envy.”

While boyz are filling the emergency rooms with pulled hamstrings and twisted ankles this week from jumping on the Florida Gulf Coast bandwagon and understandably so. There is another group of duns that are filling up with jealousy and envy of their head coach, Andy Enfield.

During a week when his basketball team should be the one being celebrated for becoming the first 15th seed in the history of the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Sweet 16. Boyz in the media are climbing all over the fact that this cat has made a fortune in the business world after entering into a partnership that developed a business that is now worth more than $100 million before he sold his share of the joint. What's most appalling and egregious is the fact cats are trippin' because he married a 5’10” supermodel. Are you kidding me?

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Enfield didn’t make the rules playa, he’s just living by them. There’s no law that says that a coach can’t be wealthy and having a bad chick is just a by-product of being rich. It's his RIGHT TO BARE THAT ARM! Big Momma told me when I was a shorty, “All women love money and power!” That doesn’t mean that all women need or even want your money because they’re out here gettin’ it too. However, it does say that you can’t get one without having some bread.

Now are there women out here taking care of duns laying on the couch? Sure there is! However, chicks with bad self-esteem ain’t bad chicks. You’ll catch that one later on today homie.

From the time boyz and girlz reached puberty the most popular cats in school got the baddest chicks because they were the most powerful. Nobody had money at that time so power trumped everything. The football or basketball star regardless of his looks always had the dime. Then once cats started gettin’ paid the game elevated but the rules didn’t change. Money and Power has always been the foundation of the game.

So why are folks surprised that Enfield has a supermodel on his arm.  You weren’t surprised when Jay-Z showed up with Beyonce’ where you? He’s the richest cat at $450 million with some urban flair that she could be with. The only other cat that could even communicate with her is Diddy at $550 million.  Why? Because the baddest chicks are always looking for a better deal!

 There is no better deal with urban swagger than Jay-Z. So all bets are off that some dun will take his woman. If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'! Beyonce’ already told you point blank in the joint “Irreplaceable!” She broke the game down like is, “You must don’t know bout me, you must don’t know bout, I can have another you by tomorrow, so don’t ever for a second get to thinkin’, You’re irreplaceable!” Artists always write or agree to sing joint that their they're feeling. Don't ever get that twisted.

Oh yeah, I’m spittin’ but some young cat ain’t listening. He’s gonna run out and pull a cosmetic 10, show up to at the wrong party and leave by himself.  The absolute cosmetic 10’s are reserved for the rich playboy. Don’t jump out there and get your feelings hurt because you didn’t read.

Don’t hate on ole Andy for handling his business and reading the Fellas Handbook from cover to cover. I would have been more surprised if they would have shown a chick that looked like Alice the Goon sitting behind the bench with an FGCU shirt on. Then he would have had to sit before the council of the Water Buffalo Club and answer some strong questions before Friday’s game against Florida. Now you're talking about being distracted. The focus should be on Dunk City this week not Enfield’s personal life!

On some real talk bruh, I'm never impressed with a rich cat having a dime because he's supposed have one. If you wanna impress me do what I did and be a regular cat and show up with the whole package. Marry one with both brains and beauty! Then I'll shake your hand playa.

Holla At Ya Boy!
