The Dragon (Manziel high on fame)

"We play Alabama when? We got plenty of time bruh! Let's get it in!" 

Oprah Winfrey once said, “If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are." The great John Wooden had this to say, “Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful" Then Jay-Z shut the building down when he said, “And I don't even know how it came to this, Except that fame is the worst drug known to man, It's stronger than heroin, When you could look in the mirror like, "There I am."

Well it looks like ole Johnny Football didn’t listen to any of those duns playboy! In the upcoming August 19^th College Football Preview of ESPN The Magazine there is a story about Johnny Manziel and how he’s handling fame. Now you know it’s bad when his old man throws him under the bus and tells the world that his kid has anger issues etc. In order for family to go on record on a boy it’s worse than you think. Big Momma is never going to tell the neighbors that her baby has problems unless it’s completely out of control. Believe that pimpin’!

See a lot of cats don’t realize that Johnny Football’s family is loaded. His grandfather is a rich Texas oil man and according to Johnny’s dad, the Heisman trophy winner will never have to work a day in his life. So he’s playing to be playing bruh. The NFL isn’t a carrot dangling in front of this cat. He’s gonna be rich regardless.

Now that’s cool with me because we all want to be in that situation. However, it also explains why this dun acts the way he does too. He’s been spoiled his whole life and whatever Johnny wants Johnny gets. Now you understand why he’s pushin a new Benz, got courtside joints at the Heat games and taking vacations to Cabo etc. Why not playboy? If you’ve got the bread be out! Do yo thang! But you can’t talk crazy to boyz in the process and throw it in their faces.

There was one thing that came out of the article that told me that Johnny Football was the cat that his teammates don’t like. Get this, ole boy has a personal assistant. One of his buddies has dropped out of school this year to handle media requests and the coordination of body guards when they go out. Stop right there playboy! Why does a college football player need a body guard? A) he's overdosed on fame. and B) he's overdosed on fame.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! I played football and have been around this game my entire life and boyz on campus always role deep. You’re never gonna see a football player without seeing 5 or 6 duns with him at the very least and that’s just to go to class. On a Friday or Saturday night boyz are rolling like a street gang into the joint 15 to 20 deep. The football team takes over the party all of the time regardless of whether the team is good or bad because they're the biggest cats on the yard. So when you tell me that his parents are paying for body guards then his teammates have pulled a Snoop Dogg on him and backed up and set their cups down. That’s real talk playa! You don't need body guards when you're the Heisman Trophy winner and you're still on the yard! You've got 100 of them and they're free! Well, at least you should have 100 of them but if you're "Mr. Joe Clownin' Boyz" then you don't.

 He’s the closest thing to being a Don on campus bruh! Under normal circumstances he would be untouchable. He’s not the only superstar cat to ever play college football. Vince Young put the Texas Longhorns on his back and won the national title in the state of Texas and didn’t need body guards.

Longhorn football is king down there and on some real talk he was robbed of the Heisman when Reggie Bush put up like 495 all-purpose yards against Fresno State. Reggie Bush was a freakin’ rock star at USC for 3 years and nobody was ever as big as Tim Tebow was at Florida. You never once heard of any of them taking all of their classes on-line because the fame was too much or having to hire body guards. Sure, once Vince won the national title he was gone but Bush and Tebow were larger than life for at least 2 years on campus bruh.

Now his personal assistant’s excuse for Johnny’s parents paying for body guards was for them to defuse confrontation before it begins when they go out. Listen here homeboy, confrontations don’t begin when you’re giving boyz love out here. See if you’re the spoiled brat talking crazy to folks like he does on Twitter and looking for trouble then you’re gonna find it. Like when he shows up last weekend at a frat party on the campus of his most hated rival for more than 100 years, the University of Texas!

Now you already know that boyz are drunk, getting drunk and looking to get into some foolishness. So why would you show up on their campus at their party where you already know somebody is gonna say something crazy to you on GP. Even if they did and he just gave boyz love they would have looked out and partied with him just to say that they did. But as soon as he says something crazy to them it’s on and poppin’! Now cats wanna put a notch in their belts just to say that they did. It’s no different than the streets bruh and he didn’t know that. You can't be GD Folks and show up at a VL party hollering at their women and expect to get out alive that's all I'm saying. That’s why he got run out of the joint with beer cans flying past his head.

That’s the type of foolishness that tells me that his teammates aren’t messin’ with him like that and his parents are contributing to this foolishness. It also tells me that the chemistry on that squad is in the toilet because young cats always role deep and you better believe that Alabama is rolling deep and on September 14^th you’ll understand how deep when Johnny and Co. get the breaks beat off of them on national television because the head of the dragon isn’t paying attention to the road. Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy.

Holla At Ya Boy!
