Brand New (Why Johnny Football is makin' the same mistake Tebow made)

"I got time Jay slow down dawg!"

Niccolo Machiavelli once said, “Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” Thomas Edison got real on a boy when he said, “The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.”  Then Kyle Chandler kept it simple with, “Opportunitydoes not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.”

It looks like ole Johnny Football is beatin’ down doors this off-season gettin’as many endorsement deals as possible. On Friday it was announced that he signed with Snickers to be their new face. He’s already got Nike, McDonald’s and Nissan deals and has already filmed some commercials.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! If that dun was smart he would have had boyz lined up the day he walked off of the field at Texas A&M. As soon as the horn sounded in the bowl game on January 1st he should have had contracts sittin’ in front of him to sell everything that cost money. Why? Because you’ve got to take advantage of the hype while it’s flamin’ hot.

Tim Tebow made the same mistake bruh! No player in at least 30 years had come out of school with his popularity. Who cares that the dun couldn’t throw a football? Who cares that he wasn't gonna get off the bench? Start sellin’ products with his name on it before he hits the field to take advantage of the hype because once boyz figure out that he can’t play he can’t sell merchandise.

Peep this, LeBron James signed a $95 million deal with Nike before he’d even graduated from high school. Yeah, he was named “The Chosen One” but you still didn't know what he was goin' to become. All Nike had to do was sell $100 million worth of freakin’sneakers and gear in 6 to 8 months and they were good.

Just think of the amount of bread that Tebow could have made in January the day after he took off a Florida Gator uniform if he’d had Gatorade “It’s In You” in place. Don’t give me that “He didn’t have an agent because it was against NCAA rules to have one before then” crap. At some point you gotta think about gettin’ your bread while you’re on the come up. So that when you make it you’ve already got a list of boyz to approach on day one.

Johnny Football should have had all of his commercial spots signed, sealed and delivered before the combine playboy. Why? Because we don’t know what he’s gonna do in the NFL. He could be a bust for all we know but he’s too popular to not be sellin’ crazy products right now.

Whatever McDonald’s, Nissan and Nike are payin’ him all they need to do is make sure they make that back and then some before the season starts. If ole boy starts and balls out then it’s a bonus. Why spend money on a firm to market and promote you if they aren’t gettin’ you timely deals?

It’s stupid to wait until football season to start runnin’ the commercial spots. What if the dun doesn’t play? Then what? Look here playa, the NFL and the freakin’ St. Louis Rams ain’t waitin’ for football season to start with Michael Sam. They’re sellin’ the crap out of this cat and he’s yet to even make a roster. He’s got the number one sellin’ jersey and he’s winnin’ Espy’s already  and he hasn’t even put on his shoes yet bruh! Boyz haven’t even reported to trainin’ camp yet! Why are they sellin’ this dun? Because he’s popular and has a fan base. That’s called money! And don’t think for one minute that he’s not makin’ that team bruh! You can believe that playa because it’s too much bread to be made by havin’ him around.  

When everybody knows your name and wants to know where and what you’re doin’ 24 hours a day there is a price associated with that and if you don’t take advantage of it you’re a sucka.

Don’t think for one minute that I haven’t made a list for five companies that I’m gonna target personally when TheJayGravesReport really explodes. If y’all keep readin’ this joint, Ima keep writin’ but Ima get that other bread too. And believe me, I won’t pay some other cat to represent me either. Once you’re famous you don’t need a boy to sell you to the company. You’ve already done that because you’re famous! Do you really think that Tim Tebow would have needed a boy to approach Gatorade to sell the concept to them?

He went to Florida where Gatorade was freakin’ invented and he was that dude that already had it in him! The “It’s In You” campaign was tailor made for him! He was that dude that left it all on the field every game. All they had to do was run the freakin’ post-game interview where he promised the Gator fans that they would never see a player play as hard as he was gonna play etc. That was the “It’s In You” spot right there! Give me a break!! You’d be a fool to pay somebody to sell that for you. Keep all of this money playboy. Stop waitin’ for other people to help you get paid.

You don’t think Johnny Football could have picked up the phone and called Phil Knight himself? Why does he need LeBron’s boy, Mav Carter, to make that call only to pay him 10 to 15 percent of whatever the deal is? That’s stupid. He’s Johnny Football for cryin’ out loud. And you’re payin’ this dun ridiculous bread and you haven’t seen a commercial on TV yet!

Tim Tebow should have at the very least made $30 million before the world figured out that he couldn’t throw the darn ball. And that’s the edited version. Jeremy Lin is another cat that missed out on an opportunity to get paid off of the court. Why? Because the excitement has died down on him. Who cares if you really aren’t as good as the hype bruh! The hype sells the brand and the brand gets the money but you’ve gotta get it before the flame goes out playa.

Now don't get it twisted pimpin', Johnny Manziel CAN ball. That's why they call him Johnny Football but I'm just sayin'! Get the bread at the height of the hype. The more commercials that are runnin' now the more endorsement he can sign later. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
