Lions & Sheep (How the Texans & Redskins showed us why they'll be terrible again in 2015)

"We can fight but we can't play any ball bruh!"

Alexander the Great once said, “I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.” John Quincy Adams gave it to us like this, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” Then John C. Maxwell, the leadership expert and author, poured out a lil’ liquor for all the dead homies when he spit, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”

Well playas…it’s hard to find any lions playin’ for the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins these days. Its looks like they both have teams full of sheep because duns that know how to lead wouldn’t have allowed the joint to just erode for no reason. On Saturday these two teams got together to have a joint practice and they couldn’t stop fightin’ long enough to practice. Therefore, since they couldn’t figure out what “right” looked like they were separated and they each practiced on individual fields.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! There is a reason why these duns can’t make the playoffs and they continue to be underachievers every year. The darn Texans were 9-7 last year standin’ around with their fingers stuck up their butts when the playoffs started. And the darn Redskins were 4-12 tryin’ to catch a cab to the strip club at the end of the season because they weren’t anywhere near the playoffs. Why? Because they’re led by sheep instead of lions.

I keep tellin’ you boyz that “The Truth is in the Details” playboy! If you keep followin’ duns that have no vision you’ll end up fightin’ for the sake of fightin’ all of the time. Just because a dun is on your team doesn’t mean that when he decides to scrap you’ve gotta scrap with him. Sometimes you gotta let a boy get his head beat in or you gotta beat it in for him. Some cats are stupid and if you’re not careful they’ll pull you down the rabbit whole with them.

The purpose for the darn Texans gettin’ on a freakin’ jet and flyin’ up to Richmond, Virginia was to get some reps against some boyz that they weren’t familiar with. Why? Because they wanted to get better at doin’ what they do. Now that costs time and money bruh! It would have been worth both the time and money if they would have been able to accomplish what they sat out to accomplish. However, one or two idiots decided that it made more sense to squab than to get better. And because they’ve got more sheep than lions they wasted a freakin’ trip.

Here’s my diehard NFL fan and also some duns from the ghetto hollerin’ about loyalty. “Man if your teammate fights then you gotta fight! If that’s your boy then you gotta ride or die with him. That’s the code of the streets playa!” Here’s the problem with that code pimpin’; everybody on your team ain’t tryin’ to go where you’re tryin’ to go. Not everybody in the ride with you is lookin’ to succeed. So you’ve got to know who to follow and who to let drown in the foolishness. Yeah, you might have to squab with him just to get to the crib safely but once you get home you gotta whoop his butt for puttin’ you in that situation in the first place. Then you gotta leave him alone because he ain’t goin’ where you’re tryin’ to go.

Neither one of these clown teams made the playoffs last year so what idiot decided that it made sense to use all of their precious time on Saturday in camp to fight? Yeah, I get that the initial dust up causes everybody to react with team in mind. However, once they separated boyz, the lions on both teams were supposed to check the idiots that were wastin’ everybody’s time tryin’ to squab. Then the lions on each team were supposed to holler at each other to make sure that the freakin’ sheep aren’t allowed to get in the way again.

It was the same way on the yard when I was in college. I pledged the GOMAB at Indiana University which is the Alpha Chapter or foundin’ home of the Nupes. Well… the Sigma’s and the Kappa’s had the two largest black fraternities on the yard at that time. So guess what? Duns, for some crazy reason, couldn’t get along. Too much testosterone in one place is a beast bruh.

It was nothin’ to be in the Nupe House on a Saturday night gettin’ it in and boyz would dust up. I would NEVER get involved because I wasn’t about to get kicked out of school followin’ some sheep because they couldn’t control themselves. And 9 out of 10 times the duns that were always fightin’ weren’t graduatin'! So why would I follow a boy into war only to end up just like him even if he’s got on the same uniform I’ve got on. I was the Chapter President bruh! I was a lion and wasn't goin' back to the G without a degree pimpin'!

Lions don’t waste energy foolin’ around with cats with no vision. The fact that both the Texans and Redskins couldn’t resume the joint practice tells me everything that I need to know about the success or lack thereof of both of those teams this year. Show me a dun with a sheep mentality and I’ll show you a dun destined not to succeed! And the Texans and the Redskins are destined not to succeed in 2015. And you can quote me on that playa! Stop me when I start lyin’!
