Or Worse (Why boyz are suckas for forgivin' Adrian Peterson and throwin' Ray Rice in the trash)

"These duns ain't playin' bruh! What else do they want me to do?"

Richard von Weizsaecker, the German politician, once said, “Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer, the secret of redemption lies in remembrance. “ John Piper, the religious teacher, gave it to us like this, “Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.” Then Patti Smith, the singer, songwriter and poet, shut the joint down when she spit, “The idea of redemption is always good news, even if it means sacrifice or some difficult times.”

Well playas…it looks like Ray Rice is lookin’ for some redemption but boyz are turnin’ a blind eye to that dun. Teams are a week into trainin’ camp and ole boy is still knockin’ on doors like a Jehovah’s Witness on a Saturday mornin’ in the projects. Ain’t nobody answerin’ the doe bruh!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! What blows my mind is that duns are completely playin’ this fool like he’s Jeffery Dahmer or Charles Manson! Cats are runnin’ from him like he’s the plague and completely embracin’ Adrian Peterson (A.D. which stands for All Day) like he’s Santa Claus or Frosty the Snowman and he got a raise bruh.How do you slaughter your kid and get a restructured deal with $20 million in guaranteed bread over the next two seasons? Wheredeydodatat?  This dun beat the brakes off of his 4 year old son to the point where he even hit the kid in the testicles because he was butt naked and bruised his back and the bottom of his feet.

Now the ONLY reason that A.D. isn’t gettin’ the same treatment as Ray is because there isn’t a video tape of that foolishness. But on some real talk, what A.D. did was far worse than what Ray did playa. Now don’t get it twisted, what Ray did was inexcusable but A.D. completely jumped off of the bridge. Why? Because you can’t choose who your parents are and to beat a kid like that was beyond crazy and I don’t need to see a video of it to make a judgment.

"I'm cool bruh! No cameras at my crib!"

These people out here are some suckas if they want to hold Ray out of the league and not Adrian. Redemption is redemption bruh. Ole boy made a mistake and he’s paid the price. If duns like A.D. And Greg Hardy can suit up then Ray should be able to as well. And don’t give me that foolishness that A.D. is better so therefore he gets more leash. I get tha,t but all types of boyz are startin’ to go down in trainin’ camp with injuries like Arian Foster etc. Duns need running backs and he’s available. Stop it! You sound crazy!

Now Ray can go head on with that foolishness that he had never hit his wife before. Stop it! You sound crazy Ray! Like I’ve been tellin’ you boyz for the past 5 years on the JGR, “The Truth is in the Details!”

When a boy straight knocks his woman out and he stands over her as if to say, “Girl you better git yo butt up and quit playin’ with me” instead of completely freakin’ out, this wasn’t his first rodeo pimpin’. So stop pullin’ the Tom Brady and just shut up. If you aren’t gonna be straight up then leave it alone and just tell a boy that you’re ready to go back to work. You don’t have to tell boyz extra lies. Big Momma used to call that “Volunteerin’ a lie.”

I’m just tired of all of the hypocrisy with both the NFL and these ole fake “A” fans. You’re cool with A.D. beatin’ his kid and Greg Hardy doin' work on his girl but you’re appalled at the thought of Ray Rice. It’s just like boyz bein’ cool with police killin’ unarmed black men all over America but when a freakin’ dentist goes to Africa and kills a darn lion boyz break out into protests all over America and run him out of town. Duns are outraged over a freakin’ lion in Africa!!!! Stop it! You sound crazy!

I believe that all people deserve a second chance because God has given all of us 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and some of you duns are on your 6^th chance. So how are you gonna just throw Ray Rice in the trash when some of you cats have made the same types of mistakes, or worse. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.2) Spit: verb - to say 3) Doe: noun – ghetto for the word door. 4) Pimpin’: the person that I’m passionately tryin’ to get me point across to.

Reachin' (How ABC News showed it's lack of talent by releasin' more Ray Rice footage)

Janay: "Will y'all please just let me live my life?"

Gerry Adams, the Irish politician and president of the Sinn Fein political party, once said, “One man’s transparency is another’s humiliation.” Mahatma Gandhi stood up and shouted, “It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings.” Then Mel Gibson kept it real when he said, “You ask anybody what their number one fear is, and it’s public humiliation. Multiply that on a global scale, and that’s what I’ve been through.”

Well playboy…that’s what Janay Palmer, Ray Rice’s wife, keeps goin’ through. Boyz are intent on draggin’ this woman through the mud and then tossin’ her out in the middle of traffic blind folded. ABC News has obtained an additional 45 minutes of surveillance footage from the now-defunct Revel Casino where ole boy knocked her out in an elevator. They’ve diced it down to 2 minutes and are now pushin’ it out to boyz.

Well let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! It’s only footage of ole girl sittin’ there gettin’ first aid, cryin’ and tryin’ to process the whole freakin’ incident. They’ve got Ray in handcuffs goin’ through his pockets and then they put her in handcuffs. The police eventually take both of them to jail.

Now what part of that foolishness was necessary to release? Everything that was on the freakin’ tape was obvious to the human brain. We already knew that they both were arrested and charged with assault. So why do these media type cats think that it made sense to throw this woman, who is already in shambles after this foolishness under the bus again?

I ain’t thinkin’ about Ray Rice! Ray Rice gets what Ray Rice gets playa but his wife and daughter don’t deserve to be humiliated because the media doesn’t want to or have the capacity to be ground breakin’ when it comes to content.

Yeah I know boyz wanna look at the car accident even if there are major injuries at the scene. You’re always gonna have cats slowin’ down to take a look. However, sometimes you gotta put yourself in other folk’s shoes. If that were your sister, daughter, grand baby or niece would you like for boyz to keep floatin’ their most embarrassin’ moment around on the internet? At some point you gotta have some compassion for other people.

Puttin’ that video out doesn’t clear up anything for anybody bruh! So what was the point? Bread and clicks on their website. So do you know what that tells me pimpin'? It tells me that they’ve got a lack of talent in the buildin’ because they’ve got to rely on humiliatin’ a woman to get boyz to pull them up. That’s real talk!

If you had some real writers that could provide thought provoking content you wouldn’t have to pull a woman out of her bed at night and throw her out in the middle of the street like ole Eddie Cain! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Shenanigans (Why Ray Rice must have Roger Rabbit and the Funkedelics representin' him)

"Oh yeah playa! I'm appealin', but to what?  I have no idea!"

Neslon A. Miles, a U.S. General that served in the Civil War, once said, “It is unfair to suppose that one party has invariably acted rightly, and that the other is responsible for every wrong that has been committed.” Stephen Dunn, the famous American poet, broke it down like this, “Although I know it’s unfair I reveal myself one mask at a time.” Then Oscar Wilde brought the noise with, “I can stand brute force, but brute reasoning is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.”

Ole dull Ray Rice is standin’ out in the weeds usin' brute reasonin' hollerin’ that the NFL was unfair in its treatment of his situation because they punished him based on an edited tape. So now this cat is about to base his entire appeal of the suspension on the fact that the tape was much longer than what TMZ released. Whatttt?

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! I’m all for a boy appealin’ the suspension, because I do believe that the NFL was foul in the way that they handled it but not because the freakin’ tape was edited.

He sounds like a complete fool hollerin’, “Hey dawg! Man that ain’t even the whole fight! It was more to it than that bruh!” Whattt? More to it? So did you give her an extra-large value meal of the two piece that we saw on the tape or did you put her in a full nelson, body slam her and then make her say uncle before you got on the elevator? This dude is nuts!

Who’s representin’ this cat, Roger Rabbit and the Funkedelics? O.J. had the dream team with ole Johnny Cohran, Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz and Robert Kardashian. So we can understand how he walked bruh. But this dun is about to walk in with Roger Rabbit, Mickey Mouse, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins! The tape was edited bruh? C’mon dude! Even if it was he still knocked her out and he threw the punches in the elevator.

Now the NFL was foul because they mishandled the joint from the beginnin’ and now they’re showin’ out. Whether you agree or disagree with what Ray Rice did he’s still entitled to a fair and reasonable process.

When boyz saw the tape in February of him draggin’ his girl now wife out of the elevator nobody did a thing, not the NFL, the fans, the women’s groups or George Clinton and Star Child. Everybody sat in the cut. Ray told boyz what he had done when he sat down with the league and the Ravens before they handed down the lousy two game suspension. Now I completely agree that the two games weren’t enough but that’s what he was given. You can't go back and give him more time once you've handed down the punishment. 

Again' it's like a boy confessin' to the murder and then bein' sentenced to 25 years. Then the tape surfaces but it shows exactly what he said he did in the first place. Then they haul a boy back into court and give him life. That's foul and is called double jeopardy!!! 

After knowin’ that they screwed up the league implemented a domestic violence policy that stated that the first offense would be a minimum of six games and the second would be a lifetime ban. Then the second tape comes out and the Ravens cut this dun and the league suspends him indefinitely. 

Hold on a second dawg! You just punished him with a two game suspension that accordin’ to the most recent Outside the Lines piece says that the Ravens begged Goodell not to give Rice more than two games on the suspension.

Now the Ravens’ owner, Steve Bisciotti, has the right to fire a boy at will because it’s his team. But if he was gonna fire him then why did he and his camp beg the league to only give Rice a two game suspension in the first place? Because they rolled the dice hopin' that it would go away and it bit them in the butt. And that's the edited version. 

The release of the second tape shouldn’t have changed a thing because there wasn’t anything new on the tape that they didn't already know. Ray Rice didn’t lie to them and tell them that he didn’t hit her. He was straight up with the Ravens and Goodell about the incident. So what all of this amounts to is grand standin’.

Now for Ray Ray the Puncher to jump out of the weeds and say that he’s appealin’ on the grounds of the tape bein’ edited is ridiculous. Just sue on the grounds of boyz givin’ him double jeopardy on the punishment and try to recoup some of his bread list as a result of bein' cut. Let’s face it pimpin’ he’s not gettin’ back on the field anytime soon playa. Not in a Ravens uniform anyway. Now do I believe he’ll play again? Well that depends on the need for a darn near 30 year old running back! It won't be because he hit his girl let's say two years from now. Because somebody else is gonna do something even more crazy and all of the cats that are grand standin’ right now will find something else to grand stand about.

If Ray Lewis, who was involved in a double murder, found his way back onto the field. Surely, Ray Ray the Puncher will play "if" there is a need for that dun's services. But I doubt very seriously anybody is gonna NEED a 30 year old running back in a few years. I doubt if anybody will need any running backs in a few years bruh. I’m just sayin’! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Chauncey (How Roger Goodell forgot that the tape is always movin' around the hood)

"I guess that's all she wrote bruh?"

John Ruskin, the leading English art critic of the Victorian era, once said, “The essence of lying is in deception, not the words.” James E. Faust, one of the former leaders of the Church or Latter-day Saints, got deep on a boy when he said, “Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.” Then Dinesh D’Souza, the Indian-American political commentator, made everybody recognize when he said, “Never assume, no matter how strong the temptation, that other people are low-life lying manipulators without a shred of human decency.”

Obviously, Dinesh didn't grow up in the hood playboy because where I’m from you’ve got to always assume that boyz are low-life lyin’ manipulators until they prove to you otherwise. I told you boyz that Roger Goodell was lyin’ about not seein’ the tape and many of these ole dull journalists took his word for it. However, on Wednesday some dun at the police department pulled a “Chauncey” and told the Associated Press that he sent the freakin’ tape to the NFL league office back in April.

Now for all of you simple minded individuals that don’t know what a Chauncey is that’s ole boy from Menace to Society that turned in the tape of O-Dog and Caine robbin’ the store after Caine beat the brakes off of him. There’s always a Chauncey runnin’ around with the tape bruh and that’s why you can’t trust anybody includin’ Roger Goodell. No way does the tape show up in the joint and he hasn’t seen it because curiosity killed the cat years ago.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! If the league office saw the freakin’ tape then the Baltimore Ravens saw the tape. So all of the duns in that office are lyin’ too. No way does the league office get the joint and impose a suspension without hollerin’ at the team that it’s goin’ to specifically affect. And if it's gonna impact them they wanna see the foolishness just to make sure that it's foolishness.

So like I said earlier in the week, John Harbaugh was showin’ out right along with ole Roger. How do I know that? Because the first thing that a boy will say after findin' out about the incident is, “Yeah I saw what happened when ole boy got off of the elevator but what happened on it. Do you have the tape of that?” As soon as the tape comes in it’s too juicy not to share.

Just like in the hood where the streets talk and nobody can keep good stuff (and that’s the edited version) to themselves well it works the same way in the cororate world too. There’s a Chauncey in every aspect of life playa. He’s always movin’ the tape around because he wants to be that dude that everybody likes.

Now on some real talk, Goodell is at the crib as we speak packin’ the mini-van up tryin’ to get out of town like Caine because he knows that the owners are comin’ for him. Why? Because when he beat Chauncey down by messin' up with this Ray Rice situation he negatively affected they’re bread. Sponsors are about to dive overboard and bail on these boyz like nobody’s business and they definitely can’t afford for that to happen. So the owners are creepin’ out of the crib in all black lookin’ both ways, strappin’ up with ski masks on headed to Goodell's crib to finish that dun off. No way does he survive through Friday playa.

When they run up on him in the front yard and get with him they’re gonna be like that detective when he said, “You know you done messed up, don’t you? You know it, don’t you? You know you done messed up?” And that’s the edited version.

As Goodell bites the dust he’ll sound just like Caine before he closes his eyes on his NFL career as the commissioner, “I knew I was gonna have to deal with that fool someday. Damn! I never thought he’d come back like this, blasting. Like I said, it was funny like that in the hood sometimes. I mean you never knew what was gonna happen or when. I’ve done too much to turn back, and I’ve done too much to go on.”

Like I tell boyz all of the time, the hood and Corporate America are the same place playboy. The only difference is that the consequences in the hood are permanent. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Gin & Juice (Why Roger Goodell & John Harbaugh both need to jump in the ride with Ray Rice)

"C'mon dawg jump in! I'm goin' your way."

Benjamin Carson, the well-known neurosurgeon, once said, “Kids have what I call a built-in hypocrisy antenna that comes up and blocks out what you’re saying when you’re being a hypocrite.” Tennessee Williams, the outstanding playwright, gave it to us like this, “The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!” Then Cristiano Renaldo, the famous Portuguese soccer player, was a G when he said, “Why lie? I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.”

So with that bein’ said playboy, I’m gonna put it where the goats can get it. On Monday TMZ dropped the bomb on boyz by releasin’ the Ray Rice video of him knockin’ out his then girlfriend now wife back in February. The joint went viral and everybody and their momma has gone nuts after seein’ it.

Now on some real talk, I was blown away because I thought that because ole girl had been arrested on assault charges after gettin’ knocked out that there had to be a straight up squab on that elevator. My experience of growin' up in the hood told me that if she was charged with assault ole boy must have been defendin' himself but that simply wasn't the case. And I don't wanna hear cats say that it shouldn't EVER matter because Tiger Woods would have had every right to defend himself when his wife came at him with the golf club if he had been strapped in a confined space like a closet or elevator.

So I tried to at least give ole boy the benefit of the doubt but after seein' the video he did in fact turn out to be “Ike freakin' Turner." So now I'm like Snoop Dogg on some Gin and Juice with him, “I had to back up off of him and sit my cup down” playa. The fellas in the barber were willin' to hold him up if he were simply tryin' to defend himself and just caught her with a loose one but after seein' what really happened they're like, “You on your own now pimpin'. Can’t help you with that one! Holla At Ya Boy!”

Like I said a week ago on the Kent Sterling Show on CBS Sports Radio 1430AM, any cat that is “Ike Turner” shouldn’t be in the league at all. As a matter of fact, there’s no place in society for a boy that will walk up on a woman and fire on her. That’s nuts! But what I’m trippin’ on are all the duns out here showin’ out right now includin’ the NFL, John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This incident happened in February bruh. That was seven months ago! The NFL and the Ravens saw this cat draggin’ his girl out of the elevator unconscious. They talked to the police and don’t tell me that they didn’t see the freakin’ tape either. If the police saw it, then ole Roger and the Ravens saw it too playboy. The NFL is a $9 billion corporation with it's own security force and private investigators and you’re tryin’ to tell me that lil’ ole TMZ got a hold of the joint before they did. In my Ochocinco voice, “Child Please!”

If the NFL is conductin’ an investigation to determine how they're goin’ to discipline a player then they had to have seen the tape. If these cats can find out who potential draft picks are sleepin’ with or whose momma did what when a boy was growin’ up then they saw the tape.

Now these duns wanna show out because the public outcry is deafenin’! The same Ravens that were ridin’ with him after the two game suspension was handed out they cut him and the NFL has suspended him indefinitely. John Harbaugh, the same cat that got on national TV weeks ago with a completely nonchalant attitude about the whole incident is now tellin' boyz that seein' the tape changed things for him. What changed about what Ray told you what he did bruh? I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I grew up in the hood around aggressive people both male and female and I know it ain't always what it seems. But Ray did tell his employer what he did bruh. So he never lied to boyz. So what changed?

Hold on a second dawg! Did the facts of the case change after you viewed the tape? Didn’t ole boy tell you that he fired on her and knocked her out? And when he told you that he did in fact do that you were cool enough with him to support him when the league handed him only a two game suspension right? In no way shape or form am I condonin' Ray's actions playboy. I'm just checkin' the clowns that are actin' like they actually care about domstic violence now that the tape has surfaced and the fans are lookin' at the NFL with the stink eye right now.

After you completely dropped the ball on the initial punishment of this cat you decided to run out and put together a domestic violence policy on the hustle because you got caught with your pants down in the middle of the street. You had a menu of suspensions on everything but that. You could tell a boy how many games he’d get for smokin’ weed, gettin' a DUI, taken Molly’s or PED’s but no domestic violence. Wheredeydodatat? So you told the world that now a boy gets an automatic six game joint at the very least on the first rip and then they’re banned for life on the second.

However, when TMZ rocked you’re boat you freaked out and pulled a double jeopardy on Ray Rice that had already been disciplined by the league, albeit it wasn’t enough, but he had already been punished. So are you gonna go back and punish cats twice for the same crime every time you get the tape of the incident in question? So if you give Ray McDonald of the 49er's who just violated the domestic violence policy three days after the joint was handed out a six game suspension. Then all of a sudden if seven months later the tape of the incident comes out are you gonna suspend him indefinitely or cut him because it just looks worse on tape than it sounded? Just askin' playa?

So when the tape surfaces of Wes Welker actually poppin' the Molly's are you gonna go back and increase his suspension from four games to eight games because it looks worse than it sounds? Help me understand? That's like a boy confessin' to the murder and gettin' 25 years but when the tape actually comes out they re-sentence him to 75 to life. Wheredeydodatat?

Now I would have had more respect for these cats if they had implemented the new domestic violence policy in this case to keep from lookin' completely stupid. However, the Ravens just dove off of the roof butt naked into a bucket of sand and cut him. So are you cuttin’ him because he lied to you about what he did or are you cuttin’ him because TMZ made you look bad? I’m just askin’ again bruh?

Hey Roger? Did you suspend Ray indefinitely because he lied to you or did TMZ pull your hold card and now you’re lookin’ incompetent? In no way am I defendin’ Ray Rice's behavior playboy. I’m just makin’ sure that Ray ain’t the only one out here lookin’ like a sucka and if he needs to be fired then Roger Goodell and John Harbaugh needs to get in the ride with him too so they can all ride off into the sunset together.  And donzmt think for one minute that the NFLPA is gonna sit in the cut and watch y'all double jeoardy a boy. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Dude Pieces (Why the new NFL Domestic Violence Policy has to beinclusive to both straight & gay players)

"Uhhhhh... I guess you're right about that Jay."

J.C. Watts, former U.S. Congressman and Oklahoma quarterback, once said, “Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is to get caught.” Victor Hugo kept it simple with, “Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.” Then the O.G., John D. Rockefeller, broke it down like this, “Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.”

Well…finally the NFL is lookin’ to put a defined rule in place that will spell out the punishment for domestic violence. After the Ray Rice situation completely blew up in Goodell’s face, boyz are tryin’ to keep that foolishness from happenin’ again. The new policy could set suspensions of four to six games for a first time offense and then bring the hammer on a boy of a full season for a second offense. It makes sense to me playa.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Why hasn’t there been a rule in place all along bruh? It’s crazy to me that you would have rules in place for every other form of foolishness; DUI, smokin’ weed, takin’ unauthorized pills, fightin’ in the club, shootin’ yourself in the leg, takin’ selfies with Justin Beiber etc. but no domestic violence rule in the code of conduct policy! Really?

So you’re tellin’ me that a league full of duns that are on level 10 when it comes to testosterone never thought about the possibly of a cat hittin’ his girl? I mean really? Nobody sittin’ around the table ever said, “What if a player gets into an argument with his girl and hits her?” Even after ole boy, Jevon Belcher, shot and killed his girl and then himself in the freakin’ parkin’ lot of the Kansas City Chiefs football complex.

Even if there were no rules in place before that incident that should have been a wake-up call. How do you not seriously put rules in place for a league full of men that are paid to be violent? That’s crazy to me bruh!

Now while they’re puttin’ the domestic violence joint into the code of conduct. Are they puttin’ a clause in there for gay players? Let’s say Michael Sam gets into a fight with his boyfriend. Will it be characterized as just a fight or will it fall under the domestic violence clause? It would first have to determine who is considered to be the male dominant personality vs. female dominant personality in the relationship to make sure that we get in right. Right? I’m just sayin’!

I’m not bein’ facetious baby boy I’m bein’ real. Because if Joe Blow gets into a fight with his girl and gets a six game suspension and ole Sam, on the other hand, punches his dude and doesn’t get suspended at all then we’ve got a problem.

So I’m all good with the NFL puttin’ a policy in place for domestic violence because there can never be any gray area in punishin’ players for actin’ a fool. However, it just needs to be inclusive to EVERYBODY in the league not just cats with wives and girlfriends. It’s gotta be the same set of rules for cats with dudes and side-dudes pieces too. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Weeds (How Ray Rice made the situation worse & now Stephen A's fired up)

Hey Ray! You still in there bruh? "Yeah!"

Gustave Flaubert, the 19^th century French writer widely known as the greatest novelist in Western literature, once said, “To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.” John Wayne pulled up in a brand new whip with the seat leaned back and said, “Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid.” Then Marcus Tullius Cicero, the ancient Roman philosopher, shut the buildin’ down with, “The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute instinct.”

Ole dull Ray Rice showed the world just how stupid he really was on Thursday. This dun held a press conference to address the domestic abuse situation out of what he thought was necessity and operated out of brute instinct. As soon as he started the joint with prepared notes he got nervous and said, “Let me put these away.”

When he said that he drove right off of the road and into the freakin’ weeds. You know duns in the PR department were standin’ to the side like, “This mother’s favorite!” And that’s the edited version playboy. Whoever is in charge of the Ravens PR should be fired on the spot bruh for puttin’ that dun in front of the cameras in the first place. Why? Because if he wanted to address the situation just put out a statement and keep it movin’!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This dun meant well but in the process he made the situation even worse for himself, the NFL and the Ravens. I applaud him for ownin’ it and makin’ a public apology. Just tell the world that you’re goin’ to be a better man because of this situation and then sit yo butt down! And that’s the edited version.

Then he pulls out the freakin’ shovel and starts diggin’. What happened in that elevator has been a mystery to everybody but the police and Roger Goodell. We do know that both he and his girl were charged with assault. That’s why Stephen A. Smith made the comments about situations of provocation that really took the heat off of this dun. For the past week the world forgot about Ray and started hatin’ Stephen A.

With the two game suspension and a fine he had gotten away easy and the world was about to move on. Why? Because boyz had moved on to Stephen A. and you know somebody else was primed to do something else stupid. This dun had gotten away with one of the biggest bank robberies in history and he went back into the joint a week later to get change for a twenty. 

Now the hate for Ray Rice starts all over again. He just gave the freakin’ story some HGH, cocaine and caffeine and every time it comes up to bat it’s hittin’ homeruns for the next two weeks. And who was the clown in the PR department that thought that it was a good idea to have the press conference at all? And…if you were gonna have it why would you do it on a Thursday at noon? Now the media can chew this cat, the NFL and the Ravens up all day Friday! PR 101 tells you to have it on Friday at 4pm so that it get’s lost over the weekend because ten things will happen by Monday.

I know Roger Goodell was sittin’ in his office eatin’ and saw that foolishness and couldn’t get his pants on fast enough. You know he’s was pullin’ a Sam Rothstein by takin’ his joints off when he sits down to keep them from gettin’ wrinkled. He was like, “What the….! This dumb bleep, bleep, bleep!We on to somethin' else bruh! Now we gotta go to Baltimore and cuss these duns out!”

By puttin’ his notes in his pocket Ray pulled the duct tape off of the hairy irritated leg. As he tries to protect his wife’s reputation by sayin’ that she did no wrong and that she’s an angel. Now he makes himself look like a complete MONSTER. If your wife did no wrong, she’s an angel and great mother then why were you draggin’ her out of the freakin’ elevator unconscious playboy?

"Ima go off of the dome bruh. I got it!"

In the process of tryin’ to do the right thing he made it worse! And Stephen A.’s at the crib in his draws and for lack of a better word a “wife beater” cursin’ like a sailor because Ray cost him a week's pay. He’s trippin’ over pizza boxes and empty bottles like Howard Hughes when he wouldn’t let anybody in the crib. Stephen A.’s been held up for three days pissed and now this fool Ray tries to comes clean on a lie. Y’all will catch that one later.

If he would have said that his wife did absolutely nothin’ wrong from jump the speculation of provocation based on the evidence of the both of them throwin’ hands in the elevator never comes up. Stephen A. could have saved that strike pimpin’. Remember that he’s already been suspended/fired once before from ESPN. So know that dun’s lookin’ at a third strike the next time they don’t agree with something that he says.

So guess what? He’s like D. Rose and Kobe at this point. He’s gotta settle for jumpers. He can no longer take a boy to the rack off the dribble. Why? Because he can’t afford to risk injury. Skip Bayless is about to give that dun the business everyday now because all you’re ever gonna get from him is the politically correct joints from now on.

Either Olivia Pope must have been on vacation this week or she was hittin’ boyz for way too much bread. So they went and got her brother Darnell “Pee Wee” Pope that just got out of prison for bank robbery, wire fraud and stealin’ the underground sprinkler pipe at the Super Bowl. Because no way does anybody with half a brain put Ray Rice in front of the press months after the incident happened and the punishment has already been handed out.

Now you have completely disrupted trainin’ camp and for what? The situation was in the rearview mirror and more than anything it’s a personal matter that should be handled by Ray and his wife. Now the whole team will be asked about what they think of Ray ownin’ it etc, for the next three or four days. And every women's advocacy group known to man is gonna be sittin' in the NFL's driveway.  

Now they've got to appease all of the folks/fans that are outraged by what this fool said yesterday. The league saw the tape and they know what happened but now they’ve got to do more to get out from under the fire storm that Ray created when he drove into the weeds blind folded with his hands tied behind his back. So in my Huggy Lowdown voice, “The PR Director for the Baltimore Ravens and Ray Rice you are the Bama of the week, week, week!” Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!

The caption under the photo isn’t real but its REAL talk! 

Or Worse (Why Ray Rice's suspension was appropriate under the circumstances)

"Yeah bruh I messed up bruh.."

Denis Waitley, the famous motivational speaker, once said, “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” Jim Rohn, the author and motivational speaker, broke it down like this, “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.” Then the big homie Max de Pree, businessman and writer, came through with, “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.”

On Thursday Ray Rice found out that he was gonna be responsible for sittin’ his butt down for two games as a result of gettin’ into a squab with his then fiancée now wife Janay. Not only was he suspended for two games but he also lost an additional game check datin’ back to last season. So essentially he lost three games that totaled $529,411.24. Now I’m not sure where you’re from playboy but a half million dollar punch in the heat of a "dual" fight is punishment enough for a boy that’s never been in trouble before. He’s only gonna make $1 million this year! You do the math playa.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! What kills me is that all of these media type cats want to be judge and jury of this situation without once again doin’ their freakin’ homework. Speakin’ of responsibility bruh! Journalist, both on TV and in print, have a responsibility to give their audiences all of the facts and not just bits and pieces of information so that their opinions make sense.

Ray Rice has never been in trouble before and both he and his girl were charged with assault. That means that ole girl was swingin’ too and not in self-defense. What it really means is that she was in that elevator whoopin' his butt because no way would the police charge a woman with assault especially after she had just gotten knocked out! I was born at night not last night pimpin'!

Ray Rice made a mistake tryin' to get his girl off of him! He caught her with what boyz call a loose one. For all of you cats that didn't grow up in the ghetto, that was the joint that was only supposed to back her up off of him but it landed. He didn't mean to knock her out or even for it to land. Was he dead wrong? You darn right he was but he doesn't deserve to be suspended for the entire season like most of these clowns keep suggestin'.

So stop actin’ like ole boy was at the New Jersey casino just throwin’ hands at his girl and knocked her out. We’ve all seen it before where some women will jump bad with a boy and start swingin’ and end up on the floor. Is it wrong? Absolutely! Should he be punished? You darn right he should but not for an entire season. I had no problem with the two games.

However, to say that he should lose any more than what he’s already lost is ridiculous for a first time offender. He’s lost more than a half million dollars bruh and he’s had to go through counselin’! I could have seen a four game suspension for the punch because that’s pretty much what duns get for gettin’ into trouble like that's the NFL's version of a value meal.

Now everybody and their momma saw Jay-Z gettin’ abused in that elevator by Beyoncé’s sister Solange. Now the only reason that she didn’t end up on the floor is because A) He’s old and wise enough to know better because he’s 40 plus! B) He’s worth $450 million! And C) There was a dun holdin' her back! If he were 27 and only made a $1 million dollars a year he probably would have knocked her “A” out. And that’s real talk!

It’s never permissible for a man to put hands on a woman. However, it’s never permissible for a woman to put hands on a man. Somewhere along the line folks got it twisted and told little girls that it was okay to hit boyz because they’re not supposed to hit you back. Well…everybody doesn’t follow that line of thinkin’ playboy or should I say, everybody isn’t mature enough not to hit back. I'm just sayin'. So the moral of the story is to stay away from both males and females that have a tendency of hitting.

I’ve got an eleven year old daughter and I tell her all of the time “keep yo hands in yo pockets!" Don’t you think for one minute that you have a right to swing on one of these little boys because instinct is a beast and I don’t wanna end up in jail.”

What these women don’t realize is that when you swing on a boy more often than not basic instinct will put you on the floor. Is it right? Absolutely not! Does it happen? You darn right it does! And that’s the edited version.

Once the punishment for Rice was handed down these same media cats that can’t think for themselves heard some fool say something that makes no sense at all and they ran with it. Some clown jumped out of the cake and said, “Josh Gordon got suspended for an entire year for smokin’ weed and Ray Rice only got two games for knockin’ his girl out! What? Josh Gordon is a habitual offender you idiot. He didn’t just walk up with a blunt in his mouth and got suspended for an entire year. Use your freakin’ brain and stop repeatin’ foolishness that you heard some idiot say.

This dun was suspended last year for two games and he lost two additional game checks for the same thing. Not to mention that he was kicked off of the team at Baylor after he’d already been suspended twice for smokin’ weed. You sound like a fool even tryin’ to compare the two.

Josh Gordon has a serious problem. You already know that if he was suspended multiple times in college and then kicked off of the team he was busted probably 10 times by the student trainer before anybody else even found out about it. Ole boy tried to give him fair warnin’ and he kept doin’ it.

If Ray Rice had been some cat that is always in trouble then a lengthy suspension would have been appropriate. If he were constantly doin’ things that put the team in jeopardy then sit his butt down. But a mistake is a mistake bruh. He’s gone through counselin’ and he’s lost significant bread. He’s paid the price for havin’ a fight with his girl. Let’s move on.

Josh Gordon, on the other hand, is probably somewhere right now smokin’ weed or worse. He's a drug addict and you can't have that on your football team. Why? Because he puts everybody else in harms way gettin' high. Ray fightin' with his girl only endangers he & her unfortunately and that incident was an anomaly because he's never been in trouble before. Stop me when I start lyin’!

POCKETS (The ghetto rule that Ray Rice and his girl completely ignored)

"You right playboy! POCKETS!!"

As I was getting off of the expressway these cats ran up on my ride trying to clean my windshield. Then they started arguing over wisdom. Socrates said, “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” Aldous Huxley, the English writer, threw his squeegee at ole boy and said, “Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.” Then Confucius jumped up on the hood of my joint and said, “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” Then I had to cut him bruh!

Well ole Ray Rice is gonna have to learn from experience on this one playboy! On Saturday both he and his girl were arrested on simple assault charges after they were squabbin’ in a New Jersey casino. Now boyz are all over Ray because he knocked ole girl clean out during the melee and they should be because he’s a grown man that should know better. Not to mention that he’s a professional athlete with a reputation and a huge contract on the line. However, most of the cats blasting him didn’t grow up in the ghetto and don’t have the capacity to see behind the curtain.

Well…let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When they said that they both were arrested and charged with simple assault boyz with ghetto experience already knew the drill. His girl was throwing blows too and on some real talk she probably threw the first punch.

She wasn’t the victim she was a perpetrator of punches pimpin'. Now if you’re looking for me to give you the politically correct joints on this, then this ain’t that bruh! Ima give it to you REAL life because I don’t live in the world of should be, I live in the world of what is.

Here’s the drill: They were arguing over something stupid as usual like some other broad or something and then it got heated. Ole girl probably did what most chicks do that grew up in the hood. She jumped up in his face talking crazy pressing those two fingers into his temple on some “What you gone do now?” type joints and then fired on him. You already know! Cuz otherwise the police wouldn’t have arrested her! They didn't arrest her because she got knocked out bruh! She was squabbin'!

Ole girl probably was one of those chicks that thought that everybody’s Big Momma taught them that if you’re a boy you can’t hit a girl back. Or should I say that everybody followed Big Momma’s rule. Well unfortunately, in the ghetto that rule doesn’t always apply because when chicks know that duns won’t hit back they end up beating the brakes off of boyz all of the time because they don’t have to worry about gettin’ knocked out.

I know everybody and their momma saw the Cleveland bus driver upper cut the chick, lift her off of her feet and beat the dog snot out of her after she spit on him and fired on him. What was the first thing you heard some other woman say on the tape? “That’s a girl man!” Well... there is a motto in the ghetto that says, “Act like a man you gone get treated like one.” Don’t step to a boy if you ain’t ready to get dealt with. That’s why I’ve been preachin’ to my baby girl since she started school. “Don’t put your hands on these boys out here. If you’re mad you better walk away because I’m claustrophobic." You'll catch that one later playa.

So after ole girl threw a few haymakers his way he probably threw a quick one out there to back her up off of him and she got caught. Then that fool panicked and put her on the elevator figuring that the ride down would wake her up but the doors opened real quick on a boy. Now he’s caught with him pants down.

On some real talk playboy, that wasn’t the first time these two threw hands. If they’re gettin’ it in out in public they’ve been scrappin’ years. The skeletons just fell out of the closet this time.

Don’t get me wrong bruh! A man should never put his hands on a woman but a woman should never put her hands on a man either. What’s the moral of the story? KEEP YO HANDS IN YO POCKETS and nobody ever gets knocked out!
