Immortalized

The picture that's worth a Million smiles!

The famous author L. Frank Braum wrote in The Marvelous Land of Oz, “Everything has to come to an end, sometime.”  James Evans gave it to us like this, “You don’t have to go home but you gotta get the hell out of here.” Uncle Willie was famous for saying, "Let the door knob hit ya where the good Lord split ya!" Either way you get the point. All good things must come to an end.

The NFL referee lockout is over! The two sides came to an agreement around midnight Thursday morning. However, I was having the time of my life watching the dull replacements get abused on national television and it was better than the game itself. Only the irrational face painting guy or the addicted gambler couldn’t find the humor in it all. It was the best reality TV I’ve seen in years bruh! I just want to know where to send the check so that I can contribute to their next road show.  These guys need to go on tour like the Harlem Globetrotters. They’d sell the joint out in every city.

Now everybody wants to act like they didn’t see the racial dynamics of the Monday Night Football blown call. Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! When the Hail Mary was thrown and boyz started wrestling over the possession of the football the brother called it an interception. Then the white dude called it a touchdown. At that moment did you see the brother’s expression change? It was worth a million dollars and just as funny. It was all over his face! He was like, “Not again bruh! You can’t do this to me on national TV! All my boyz are watching this joint down at the pool hall! You know they’re gonna go with whatever YOU say! All we gotta do is call it an interception and we can go the crib no questions asked.” But once again the brother gets overruled!

Now instead of being able to just run off of the field and take a shower they get jammed up for the next 4 hours answering questions. Ya’ll know the brother was ready to go to the crib and be famous around all of the fellas because he was on Monday Night Football.  He was ready to buy out the bar and talk trash for the rest of the night. Instead, he’s been immortalized on NFL Films because the white dude made the wrong call. Ain’t that a blip! Now his grandkids will be able to see him on NFL bloopers 40 years from now and all the fellas at the pool hall and the car wash will be laughing at him for years to come.  

Why is it that the brother always gets blamed for something that he didn’t do? Here he is minding his own business walking down street and a Hail Mary comes out of the sky and he’s got to call it. Then a white cat runs up and says, “Hey man, I’ll help you.” He immediately gets apprehensive because he knows where this could go. The catch is made, he makes the call and all of a sudden people are going crazy.

 Great call bruh! Now we can keep walking down the street right? Wrong! The white guy called it a touchdown and now the cops are all over the joint checking the surveillance camera. Nobody sees that the brother made the right call and gives him credit for it. Instead, he’s sitting here looking stupid because some cat ran up that he doesn’t even know and tried to help him out. Now he’s famous for all of the wrong reasons. However, in the hood all of the brothers saw what really went down so he gets a pass. Now that doesn’t mean he can show boat about being a ref in the NFL for 3 weeks because he’ll always be that Dull Replacement that got caught up on the blown Monday Night Football call! That picture has been Immortalized and hung up in the pool hall, the car wash and the barber shop in every ghetto in America bruh!

P.S.: If you can't see the humor in this joint you need to loosen up!

Holla At Ya Boy!
