Why Johnny Manziel is NOWHERE near lookin' for ANYBODY'S help!

"Naw bruh y'all can keep that!" 

Vince Lombardi once said, "The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand." Paul "Bear" Bryant gave it to us like this, "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards." Then the big homie, Jessie Owens, spit fire when said, "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." 

Well playas...it looks like ole Johnny Manziel is lackin' the determination, dedication, self-discipline and the effort to be a professional football player. After all of the foolishness of last weekend, now boyz are startin' to sing like Luther and tell it all. Just like when the dun was at Texas A&M, his old man is the main soloist tellin' it all bruh! We all heard that Johnny allegedly hit his ex-girlfriend in a Dallas hotel last weekend and then supposedly fired on her again on the way back to her apartment in Forth Worth. 

The cops even had the helicopters out lookin' for this dun. Now his old man is givin' up all the juice sayin' that they tried to put this cat into a chemical dependency unit in the hospital twice but ole boy refused to stay even though he was suicidal. His dad even went on record as to say that if he doesn't get help that he won't live to see his 24th birthday. 

Now let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Johnny Football's parents have been feedin' into this foolishness for years. Now he's cryin' out for help like this just popped off. Johnny was out of control at Texas A&M bruh!!! After he won the Heisman he went from 0 to 100mph and his parents fed into the foolishness. 

Remember when his pops got him body guards while he was in college instead of gettin' him help? They fed into the foolishness allowin' him run wild instead gettin' him help then. Now he's killed any shot of playin' in the league next year because Cleveland has already decided to move on and nobody's crazy enough to sign him. Not after this last incident. Oh, did I mention, that his agent dipped on Friday too? 

I heard Deion Sanders on First Take with Stephen A. and Skip Friday talkin' about how he would like to see the Cowboys sign that dun. Prime was sayin' how Jerry Jones has a great track record of helpin' cats with all types of problems. 

Yeah bruh, that's right but the duns that Jerry has helped were all impact players! Ed Hardy was a fool but he was one of the best defensive tackles in the freakin' league. Pacman Jones was a darn maniac but he was one of the best DB's puttin' on a uniform at the time. Dez Bryant needed 24 hour security to keep him from divin' off of the deep end but he was one of the best receivers in the league. Johnny Football would be sittin' the bench in Dallas because they've got a startin' QB already. And even if they didn't have one this dun hasn't proven himself to be a starter in this league yet. So why would Jerry Jones sign him? 

The Cowboys aren't in the social work business of pullin' duns out of the gutter for the sake of pullin' cats out of the gutter. You've gotta be able to play and be an impact player for Jerry to even fool with you.  

But if we gone keep it real, Manziel doesn't want to play football! Johnny wants to be famous and he's already accomplished that. So you're gonna get out of Johnny what you've already got out of him. That dun wants to hang out with other celebrities and kick it. He doesn't want to play football. Why? Because that's way too much work. He's already rich because his family is loaded with oil money. So he doesn't have a carrot danglin' in front of him that will keep him honest enough to get himself together. 

Most cats that really want to play, that find themselves in this situation, will have a gut check moment and get themselves together because they realize that they can't make this type of bread doin' anything else. For example, when Cris Carter was starin' down the barrel of not bein' in the league anymore he got himself together, balled out and became a Hall of Famer. Why? Because he wanted to play football!! That's why! Johnny doesn't wanna play football and he's still got bread so he's cool. That's why he's not tryin' to fool with rehab or anything that looks like it.

As long as he stays in the state of Texas he's a small "g" god around that piece. He's a Heisman Trophy winner in a state where football is king. As long as he's got bread and his name is Johnny Football in Texas he's not slowin' down. It's goin' to take for him to completely hit rock bottom before he gets help. So unfortunately, we've got to sit in the cut and wait for him to crash and burn. Stop me when I start lyin'!

Actin' A Fool (Why the Manziel fan is lucky that dun just got out of rehab)

"You already know bruh! Already know!"

Billie Joe Armstrong, the famous musician, once said, “I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.” Zig Ziglar, the sales guru, broke it down like this, “Every obnoxious act is a cry for help.” Then Joe Namath spit some fire at a boy when he said, “I don’t care what a man is as long as he treats me right. He can be a gambler, a hustler, someone everybody else thinks is obnoxious, I don’t care so long as he’s straight with me and our dealings are fair.”

Well playas…normally when everybody else thinks that a boy is obnoxious he’s not gonna be straight with you nor are your dealings with him gonna be fair. On Saturday Johnny Manziel ran into an obnoxious fan at the Four Seasons’ pool area in Irving, Texas. Ole boy was in town for the AT&T Byron Nelson Golf Tournament chillin’ at the pool with some friends when an 18 year old Texas A&M fan slid up on him and asked him for an autograph. When Johnny refused the dun started harassin’ him and wouldn’t leave him alone for 2 hours. Manziel repeatedly asked the cat to leave him alone but he was on a role. Finally, the Heisman Trophy winner and Browns quarterback got frustrated enough that he threw his water bottle at him.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This fan is lucky that he didn’t get the brakes beaten off of him. Once ole boy told him that he wasn’t gonna sign an autograph he should have kept it movin’! You don’t stand there and badger a boy because he didn’t fulfill your request.

Here’s my diehard sports fan that clearly doesn’t get it. On some real talk, this is every fan whether it’s sports, television, music etc. “Man all he had to do was sign the autograph and it never would have gotten crazy.”

Listen up “Mr. I don’t have a life obnoxious fan that can’t take no for an answer!” When celebrities tell you that they aren’t signin’ autographs at this time it’s because as soon as they sign one the flood gates open. So he or she isn’t just signin’ one joint they’re signin’ 100 or more. Therefore, you just jammed up 45 minutes of their time takin’ pictures and kissin’ grandma when they were just tryin’ to chill like Johnny was tryin’ to do at the pool with friends.

Here’s my fan dude again, “Man that’s why he’s a celebrity! He’s supposed to sign autographs. He’s supposed to stand up and talk to me.” No he isn’t you idiot! He’s a human being just like you and if he says no you gotta roll with that. It’s no different than you slidin’ up on a chick at the club, askin’ her to dance and she tells you no. You take the no and keep it movin’! You don’t have the right to call her a “B” just because she hurt your feelings. Ole boy is lucky Manziel just got out of rehab and he’s tryin’ to act like he’s got some sense. Otherwise, the regular sports cat or celebrity would have gotten at him or at least someone in their camp would have. Oh, that’s real talk right there bruh! I’ve seen it happen on multiple occasions.

Accordin’ to the Irving Police the idiot at the pool wouldn’t leave Manziel alone and even grabbed him by the arm. That’s a beat down no questions asked! You can’t grab a boy and think that it’s permissible. Where I’m from they would have been scrapin’ ole boy up off of the ground for that.

Fans kill me thinkin’ that they can say or do whatever they want to a boy and it’s cool. These duns buy tickets to games and think that they can simply curse a boy out or talk crazy to them like the player is a zoo animal and he can’t come off of the floor or field on him. They aren’t supposed to but everybody doesn’t follow the rules.

Did you see the look on the fool’s face that threw the beer on Ron Artest at the Palace? That dun was horrified when ole Ronnie jumped up and got at him. Just because you buy a ticket doesn’t mean that you aren’t subject to gettin’ your butt whooped for actin’ a fool. And that’s the edited version!

Am I condonin’ violence? No, but I completely understand it! I grew up around gangstas and hustlas that didn’t take foolishness from anybody. So I know just how quickly something can go from 0-60mph. You can’t possibly think that it’s OK to act a fool with someone that you don’t know and expect not to get knocked out. That isn’t even real in my mind bruh. Why? Because I’ve seen people die for doin’ less. Now should Johnny have just gotten up and gotten security to remove the idiot fan? Sure he should have. That would have been easier to do. However, you have to realize that he's 22 years old and he just got out of rehab for actin' a fool. So you've gotta take him slow bruh. You're askin' a lot from a dun that used to talk $100 worth or noise to any and everybody. So I'm just happy that all he did was throw the water bottle.

Here’s some wisdom for you Mr. or Mrs. Fan, if you don’t think that it’s OK to call a woman a “B” if she refuses your advance then it’s not OK to curse a boy out for refusin’ to sign your shirt. If you think that it’s OK to curse a boy out then be prepared to get beat down at some point in the future. And the ultimate question is, are you really that mad that a boy wouldn’t give you his signature? Really bruh? Naw, what ole boy was really tryin' to do was get paid! He was literally askin' for Johnny to put hands on him so that he could sue him. After all, everyone would believe that Johnny snapped because the public perception is that he's outta control anyway. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Throwin' Sets (How Johnny Manziel is makin' a fool out of the Browns)

"I still got it dawg!"

Dave Chappelle once said, “I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.” Boyd Rice, the famous musician, put somethin’ on a boy’z head when he said, “I think this society suffers so much from too much freedom, too many rights that allow people to be irresponsible.” Then Orson Welles spit some fire when he said, “I’ve spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I’m not irresponsible.”

Well look here playa…ole Johnny Football hasn’t gotten to that point in his life where he’s ready to start provin’ that he’s not irresponsible. This cat is still wildin’ out and couldn’t wait for the season to end before he jumped off of the freakin’ roof head first. On Friday ole boy threw a party or should I say an old school set that boyz couldn’t recover from fast enough to make it to work on time Saturday includin’ him. He was eventually fined for the foolishness.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Johnny’s set was so thick that Brown’s security had to go to his crib lookin’ for this dun on Saturday mornin’ because he missed both treatment for his hamstring and the team walk through. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that joint. They must have sacrificin' chickens and doin' voodoo up in that piece for boyz to be missin' work. Talk about off the chain bruh!

 Not only did Johnny pull a no show but other cats came up missin’ too. Ole weed smokin’ Josh Gordon, who was suspended by the league for 10 games this year for gettin’ his smoke on, decided that he’d miss the walk through too. Now keep in mind that this cat showed up late for practice on Friday and when he ran out onto the field he was wearin’ another dun’s jersey. He had on Travis Benjamin’s joint. Now wheredeydodatat? So the Browns decided to suspend that dun for bein’ an idiot. The official word was “violation of team rules” but we all know that they’re just tired of lookin’ at him.

What blew my mind about this hold situation was the amount of boyz blamin’ Johnny Football for Josh Gordon screwin’ up. Last I checked playboy, Josh Gordon was a grown man that has been screwin’ up since his college days. So don’t put his foolishness on Manziel’s plate. He’s got enough to eat at this point.

Now I had no problem with Johnny gettin’ it in durin’ the off-season or durin’ the season for that matter. However, you’ve got to be responsible enough to go to work the next mornin’. As long as a boy puts in the work that he needs to put in to be successful at his job I’ve got no problem with him throwin’ a set or goin’ to one. But when the set gets in the way of bein’ productive then you’ve got to shut it down pimpin’.

When I was single and didn’t have any kids, I would party on the weekends and even durin’ the week. I can remember comin’ in at 6:30am takin’ a shower and goin’ straight to work when I was his age. However, I never missed a day of work and when I showed up I knew my stuff. And that’s the edited version. Why? Because I studied what I needed to know for work before I went out. Bein’ in sales was just as demandin’ of study time as bein’ an NFL quarterback. You can never afford to sit down in front of a client and not know what you’re talkin’ about. You have to be able to read defenses, handle objections and call audibles when necessary.

However, Johnny Football is bein’ a detriment to his career and the Cleveland Browns. If he wants the keys to the Bentley then he’s got to act like he’s got some sense. Nobody’s gonna let him have the whip if he’s got the propensity to crash that joint pullin’ out of the driveway. C’mon bruh!

Obviously, they’ve got to pull some duns out of the ride in the off-season because they can’t think for themselves. If they’re at a point of blamin’ some young cat for leadin’ cats to slaughter they’re in trouble for real. No way should a rookie quarterback have the power to disrupt the joint like that. Where is the veteran leadership? Where are the brains of grown men? Or better yet where is the front office? Oh I forgot, it’s Cleveland! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Crocodiles (Why these media type cats always fall for the Johnny Football Oaky Doke!)

"Y'all already know how it went down bruh!"

I stopped to get the whip washed down in the hood because that’s where you get the best hand washes ever. As I’m waitin’ for a boy to put the smell good in the ride these three cats start arguin’ about cat’s lyin’. Winston Churchill jumped out of the back seat and said, “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has chance to get its pants on.” Vladimir Lenin stood up after shinnin’ my rims and said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Then Ben Franklin tossed me my keys and said, “Half a truth is often a great lie.”

Well playas…these dull media type cats have fallen for the oaky doke once again bruh. Some dun got beat down tryin’ to get at Johnny Football early Saturday mornin’ and these naïve cats out here are blamin’ the quarterback for the incident or for even bein’ out for the incident to even occur.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! All you gotta do bruh is listen to the clown victim’s side of the story and it’ll tell you everything that you need to know about what happened. Like I keep tellin’ you boyz, “The Truth is in the Details!” This cat tells the police that he simply approached Johnny and said, “I’m the biggest Browns fan ever, I love you, I want to give you a hug.”

Stop right there bruh! I need everybody and their momma that believes that to stand on their head and spin around 100 times. If that dun did run up on a boy and say that, he should have gotten punched in the head. Because either he’s either crazy or on something else. And that somethin' else ain't always good playa.

He sounds like the dun that tells the principal that he didn’t hit the kid in the face in the cafeteria. The other kid ran into his first 10 times. Where's Cris Carter when you need him? C’mon man! Come up with something better than that. Ole boy just told half of the truth. He told the half that involved him gettin’ tapped up. You know he had to be on something crazy because he didn’t file charges. If a boy really assaulted you for no reason then he would have filed charges and been ready to sue. Stop it!

So you just walked up to a boy as a fan and got punched in the face for no reason? Tell that to Grandma Johnson that’s been blind and deaf for the past twenty years and she’ll even curse you out for that one.

Now these media type cats are caught up on the fact that ole boy was out at 2:36am. He’s freakin’ 21 years old and he was gettin’ on the elevator at the crib when the incident occurred. He says that he was comin’ from eatin’ dinner with his boy bruh. And please don’t give me the “He’s comin’ from dinner at 2:36am ?” Yes playboy! Stop actin’ like you’ve never been 21 before. You don’t leave home until midnight when you’re his age. C’mon bruh! Stop actin’ like you don’t know what time it is. I had plenty of boyz that played in the league and it was nothin’ for them to be out all night and show up to practice straight from the club. Stop actin brand new! You can't be that naive!

It would be different if he was out at the club beefin’ with some cat and got into a fight. He’s gettin’ on the elevator at the crib and some fool got to talkin’ crazy and got dealt with! End of discussion! Maybe it’s because I grew up with a bunch of hustlas and thieves that I can spot a hustle and a lie a mile away. See foolishness like this doesn’t get me bent out of shape. You don’t get punched for sayin’ hi to a boy. You get punched for talkin’ crazy tryin’ to get at a boy.

Sure, Johnny could go to eat earlier but who’s to say that at 12:36am a clown won’t come at him crazy? Now the fool that got, like we used to say back in the G, “his head pealt” will learn how to step to a boy the next time he sees him out.

To all of my brethren in the media, take a class on discernin’ foolishness and understandin’ how boyz in the street get down. Even though Johnny Football didn’t grow up in the hood he’s been around enough teammates from the hood that he’s now got hood tendencies of survival and for that he’s gets a ghetto pass.

Survival 101 says, “If a boy gets too close to you actin’ funny peal his head before he peals yours!” You can always say that you felt threatened!”

Nobody gets beat down for sayin’ that they’re a fan bruh! If you’re gonna be in the world of sports journalism you first need to understand the tendencies of the duns that you’re coverin’! It’s like Crocodile Dundee followin’ the crocs around and not understandin’ why they do what they do when they do it. Who would even listen to him if he didn’t understand the tendencies of the crocodile in and out of the water? Stop me when I start lyin’!

Warm it Up (Why Johnny Football needs to talk instead of usin' sign language)

"I shoulda just said Yo Momma and been done with it!"

Francois Fenelon, the 17^th century French Poet, once said, “Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.” Byron Nelson, the former PGA Tour golfer, gave it to us like this, “Every great player has learned the two Cs: how to concentrate and how to maintain composure.” Then Shunryu Suzuki, the monk and teacher who helped to popularize Zen Buddhism in the United States, laid it out like a G by sayin’, “Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept the truth of transience, we suffer.”

Well playboy…ole Johnny Football had a hard time acceptin’ the truth on Monday Night Football; the truth that he was a mere mortal commonly known as a freakin’ NFL rookie. And for all of you simple minded individuals "transience" means to not last long. Johnny Football was the man in college but for right now…he ain’t! So at the moment he recognized it he folded under the pressure and gave the Redskins sideline the middle finger.

Boyz and more specifically duns like linebacker Brian Orakpo gave him the business all night. Not long after Manziel entered the game Ryan Kerrigan sacked him and Orakpo jumped up and gave him the “money sign.” For the rest of the night they were talkin’ $100 worth of noise to the rookie and there was absolutely nothin’ he could do about it but take it.

When you show up at the draft and pull out the “money sign” on boyz even before you even put on a uniform, you already know that you’re gonna be on everybody’s list. This ain’t college pimpin’! Everybody was a stud on that level! That’s why they’re all in the NFL now playa. And NFL stands for “Not For Long” if you can’t keep your composure and learn how to win football games.

Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! What Johnny has to learn how to do is talk playboy! The cameras don’t pick up a boy sayin’ it but they do pick up a dun pullin’ Daddy Mac! “So all of y’all with the Dr. Seuss riddles, You can get the finger…the middle. Warm it up Kris! I’m about to!”

That was a rookie mistake all day playa! Boyz talk ish the entire game and say that on every other play. However, when you immortalize it in sign language you can’t ever get away from it. That’s why the cats on the Redskins sideline fell out laughin’ when he did it.

Now all day today these freakin’ wack media types are gonna go in on Johnny Football like sharks in a feedin’ frenzy and that they should. Why? Because if you’re tryin’ to win a startin’ job as the hot shot rookie named “Johnny Football” then you’ve got to be smart enough to say it than to use sign language. I’m just sayin’.

You already know that these fake media type cats don’t like you and are lookin’ for anything they can possibly find to pile on and you just gave them a reason to vilify you for the next week. That was a sucka move Johnny. You gotta know better than that bruh.

Boyz say far worse on the field than “forget you” and that’s the edited version! But now you’re gonna get toasted for it for the next week because you let a dun rattle your cage. But guess what playa? You just opened the cage door, threw blood in the water and farted in the woods! Now all of the predators are huntin'. It’s gonna be a long season for the “money sign” playa. I just hope that he can keep his hands in his pockets and stay upright. Stop me when I start lyin’! And will somebody please show RGIII how to slide bruh because that dun's career is gonna be over by week 3!

Johnny Fakeball (How the Browns let the media punk Manziel into admitting mistakes)

"Ima just tell you boyz what y'all wanna hear okay?"

Ice Cube once said, "I think, to me, reality is better than being fake." Orson Welles stood up and shouted, Fake is as old as the Eden tree." Then Ismail Haniyeh put a stamp on the joint with, "Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.

On Friday Johnny Manziel addressed the media at Browns camp and was as fake as a three dollar bill bruh. Ole boy got up and jumped right out of the birthday cake on his head with, "At the end of the day I've made some rookie mistakes etc." The reason that I say that it was fake is because he didn't mean it. Some public relations cat told him to get up there and say it so that they could move on.

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! That dun hasn't done anything wrong bruh! He got drafted and kicked it like a normal 21 year old professional football player should. As a matter of fact, he's kicked it like any 21 year old does before he starts a freakin' job. Are you kiddin' me?

These media type cats kill me actin' like ole boy was supposed to be at the Browns facility 24 hours a day workin' when he was off. He was there when he was supposed to be there durin' the week and at OTA's. Who's at work on the weekends at midnight as a player in the off-season?

Johnny Football is a victim of social media playboy. The only difference between him and other superstars from the college game that have come into the league over the last 50 years is that everybody has cell phone with a camera on it includin' him.

Can you imagine if there was social media around when Lawrence "LT" Taylor, Michael "The Play Maker" Irving, Broadway Joe Namith, The Punky QB Jim McMahn, Hollywood Henderson etc. etc. etc.. OMG!! Get off of Johnny Football!!

What blew my mind yesterday was that Warren freakin' Sapp had the unmitigated gall to say that Johnny needs to look at Tom Brady and Peyton Manning because they weren't at the club. They weren't at the club? What kind of comment is that bruh? You don't know what they were doin' when they were 21 because there was no Instagram. And it's comin' from Warren Sapp!! That dun got it in more than anybody.

Manziel has nothin' to apologize for because the season hadn't started and he was within his right to get it in. Now if he shows up this week and doesn't know the playbook and is trippin' over his feet missin' reads etc. then it's a problem.

The only problem that I had with ole boy was that he showed up on the field with a Team USA sweatshirt and hat on while the rest of the team had on Browns team issued gear. I'm mean who does he think he is? If the team is suited and booted with team gear on then he should be too.  Boyz needed to get in his grip for that but all of this foolishness about him partyin' is for the birds.

Manziel admitted to makin' mistakes one minute and then defended goin' out the next. Don't give a fake apology bruh and then tell a boy that it's nothin' wrong with what you're doin'. If you like gettin' it in then stick to your guns playa.

As long as you go to work and know your "stuff" everybody's cool except for some jealous journalists that's gonna hate regardless. We need more cats in sports like Charles Barkley when he was in his prime. He used to tell boyz how it was and wouldn't apologize for it. Let these duns know who you are and keep it movin' Johnny. Why? Because people can appreciate and respect a genuine cat. You may not have liked Barkley but you had to respect him.

And don't give me that whole "Barkley was a Hall of Famer" crap because at 25 years old he wasn't. When he was throwin' boyz through plate glass windows at the club he wasn't so stop it. He told you media cats where you could shove it and you had to take it. As long as a boy can back it up I'm cool with him tellin' you like Big Momma used to say, "Like it sho nuff T.I. is!"

When I see these cats get up and give a prepared answer that some cat in the PR department wrote they lose all credibility. He's bein' paid to play quarterback and if he can learn what he needs to know and play his position then he should be able to do whatever he wants to do off of the field as long as he's not breakin' any NFL rules and federal, state or local laws. Stop me when I start lyin'!

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!

Turnt Up? (Why Johnny Football is no different than duns like Barkley, Jordan or Magic)

"Look here playa Ima do me whether you like it or not!"

As I pulled up to the car wash deep in the hood these two cats holdin’ the bench down out front were arguin’ about perspective. John Sununu, the former governor of New Hampshire, said, “Perspective gives us the ability to accurately contrast the large with the small, and the important with the less important. Without it we are lost in a world where all ideas, news, and information look the same. We cannot prioritize, and we cannot make good choices.” Then Marcus Aurelius, the ancient Roman Emperor, jumped in his whip as they sprayed the smell-good on the seats and said, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

So will somebody please tell all of these media type cats to relax on divin’ on Johnny Football for hangin’ out bruh! Like ole boy said a minute ago, “it’s all opinion, not fact.” Cats are up in arms because Manziel told them last Friday that he wasn’t gonna change who he was for anybody.

He attended the NFL’s rookie symposium for three days, stopped by the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday before spendin’ Sunday in Cleveland filmin’ a TV commercial. But on Monday ole boy flew to LA to get it in with Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and Tyrese at Biebs crib. While they’re hangin’ out Biebs takes a selfie of the crew and tweets it so Johnny retweets the joint and these ole lame sports media cats lose their minds over it.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This dun is off! He’s not in season yet so he can hang out all he wants bruh! Stop with this foolishness! If he’s off he’s free to kick it with whoever he wants!! Y’all act like the dun took a picture runnin’ out of a crack house with his pants down to his knees with heroin drippin’ from his freakin’ veins with cocaine fallin’ out of his nose drinkin’ St. Ides out of a forty ounce bottle wearin’ a Cross Colors T-shirt, some parachute pants and Kangeroos. And y’all know Walter Payton was the only dun in the history of mankind that had the courage to put those joints on because they were punchin’ kids in the mouth for even thinkin’ about puttin' on some Kangeroos where I grew up. So you gotta keep it in perspective playa!

Leonardo da Vinci was waitin' on his whip too when he chimed in and said, “Shadow is the obstruction of light. Shadows appear to be of supreme importance in perspective, because, without them opaque and solid bodies will be ill defined; that which is contained within their outlines and their boundaries themselves will be ill-understood unless they are shown against a background of a different tone from themselves.” In other words playboy, for all of you simple minded individuals, you gotta give a boy all the details and circumstances in order to really understand what’s happenin’! And it still depends on what angle you're lookin' at it from.

If the dun was in the middle of the freakin’ season and he was showin’ up to practice or games late, hung over, not bein’ able to read defenses and throwin’ picks all over the field you would have a point. But it’s the off-season and he’s within his right to get "turnt up" if he wants to.

You sound like a fool suggestin’ that a RICH, 21 year old Heisman Trophy winnin’, first round draft pick in the National Football League should sit at the crib and not get it in before the season starts! Everybody that believes that stand on your head and spin around forty times!

I was about to throw my freakin’ radio out of the window on I-65 yesterday listenin’ to ESPN’s Colin Coward talkin’ like a complete maniac about this cat. He comes up with a list a train wrecks and tries to say Johnny would be like them. He gives examples of Michael Vick, T.O., Dennis Rodman, Vince Young etc.

Well first of all playa, Dennis Rodman is a darn Hall of Famer! And that’s the edited version! So whatever he did off the floor had no affect of his production. T.O. is a Hall of Famer that’s just not in the Hall of Fame yet! Pull the stats bruh! Yes, he was a complete rectum on the field and in the locker room but he put up ridiculous numbers! And that’s the edited version too! Vick was a beast in Atlanta before he was stupid enough to get caught up on the dog fightin' joint. Hangin' out had nothin' to do with his production as a player! He just couldn't let the ghetto go in that respect.

Vince Young was a momma’s boy that couldn’t stomach takin’ direction from another man and he flat out couldn’t throw the football. Hangin’ out wasn’t his problem. Either you can play or you can’t pimpin’ just ask Tim Tebow if I’m lyin’ and he didn’t go anywhere!

This is what these cats like Colin don’t understand bruh. For every fool that you come up with I can name a Hall of Famer that hung out all of the time and still took care of business. Not that I think that Johnny Football will become a Hall of Famer or anything close to it but you don’t know what he’s gonna be able to do. Hangin’ out isn’t gonna keep him for ballin’ if he can ball bruh.

Cats like Michael Irving and Lawrence Taylor would hang out all night, come straight from the club to practice and out work everybody on the field the next mornin'! If you can ball, you can ball. You don't know what this cat is gonna be able to do but to tell him not to go out and he's off is asinine.

Duns like Jordan, Barkley, Magic and yes Tiger Woods all got it in durin’ their playin’ days pimpin’! The only difference between now and then is somethin’ called social media! Now everybody has a cell phone that can take a picture of a boy at the club or the bar and send it around the world in the blink of an eye.

Can you imagine if a boy would have been in the club with a cell phone and an Instagram or Facebook app the night Barkley threw that dun through a plate glass window? Can you imagine the uproar that would have occured if boyz had been filmin’ Jordan out gamblin’ and smokin’ cigars at 3 A.M. in New Jersey with his old man the mornin’ of a playoff game against New York when they eventually freakin’ lost that game? Hold up dawg, can you imagine if broads were takin' pictures of Magic when he was doin' episodes with 6 chicks at a time? Are you freakin' serious? Whatttt!!!!

So get off of Johnny Football because he lives in a social media world and you got access to him like that. And stop tryin’ to compare everybody to Eli and Peyton Manning! Not everybody is gonna be a nerd and not go out. That’s just what most cats do bruh!   

Colin has a tendency of throwin’ Russell Wilson in with Peyton and Eli but that dun just won the Super Bowl and just divorced his wife. So he’s about to be in the club with Johnny too! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Fishing (Why Johnny Football hooked up with some REAL hustla's, LeBron & Mav!)

"Hustlin' for life bruh!"

Albert Einstein was kickin’ it with the fellas when he said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” John C. Maxwell, the famous author, speaker and pastor, hit us off with, “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.” Then the O.G., John Wooden, threw his two cents in when he said, “Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you.”

Well it looks like ole Johnny Football isn’t as dumb as you boyz thought he was playboy. He’s hooked up with the freakin’ Bill Gates of sports, LeBron James, while all of these other cats are sitting around hatin’ on the kid from Akron.

While Manziel was going through all of his foolishness last summer he reached out to LeBron because he figured he was the only person that could relate all of the attention that he was getting at such a young age. Well, six months later Johnny is about to sign with LeBron’s marketing company LRMR ran by his boy Maverick Carter based in Ohio.

For cats that don’t know who Mav is, he’s LeBron’s homeboy that has negotiated several 9 figure deals with Nike for him and controls much if not all of his publicity, marketing and promotional deals. In a nut shell, he’s the engine behind King James’ money off of the court! While all of you duns are hatin’ on LeBron, he’s got his own camp not only gettin’ money but making him even more.

Ole Mav is worth more than $15 million dollars now. Why, because LeBron allowed his partner from the hood to use his God given ability to hustle to flourish while he used his God given ability to hoop. That’s the blueprint playboy!

I see so many of these NBA and NFL cats come into the league with their homeboys in tow and the only reason that they’re in town is to kick it. That’s cool but they aren’t teaching these cats to fish. There is an old colloquialism that says, “If you give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

Mav already had the ability do get it in when he was in Akron playboy! He just needed a platform and LeBron was smart enough to see that he could hustle harder and better than any cat from the corporate sector because he was from where he was from. The GHETTO! That’s the best classroom in the world!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Our natural make up is to hustle bruh! Once you have learned how to survive in the hood you can make it anywhere in the world and Corporate America is nothing but the streets on steroids. I’ve been in it for 24 years and using my ghetto instincts have allowed me to become one of the best sales and marketing cats in the country by winning multiple national sales championships with multiple companies playboy.

See when most people outside of the ghetto hear the world hustle they think of illegal activity! The word hustle simply means to get it done, figure it out and don’t allow someone to keep you from winning. That’s hustlin’ bruh! And in the ghetto you’re either going to hustle or starve to death. They don’t teach that class in the suburbs because every kid has a plan B. Parents with bread!

Duns like LeBron and Mav didn’t have a plan B so plan A was to get out of the hood using what God has blessed them with. LeBron had hoopin’ DNA and Mav had a mouth piece! When you put them together you can make millions and nobody is asking to be taken care of.

LeBron’s got power and influence and Johnny Football was smart enough to hook up with a boy that can help him make a whole lot of bread. Cats are sittin’ on subways, city buses and walking to class right now telling you how much they hate LeBron but are rockin’ a fresh pair of Beats by Dre’ in various colors but have no idea that LeBron owns part of the company.

Stop hatin’ on this cat and recognize that he’s giving you the blueprint. Not only is he showing you how to handle your business and be famous without showing up on the police blotter or TMZ. He’s showing you how to create financial opportunities for your inner circle without having to go into your own pockets.

Most celebrities go broke trying to take care of everybody around them. MC Hammer is the poster child for that! LeBron gave his boy a fishing pole and now he can got out on the water by himself! That’s straight gangsta and if you’re still hatin’ on that then you’re the very dun that’s looking for somebody to feed you too. Stop me when I start lyin’!

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

Speakin' for Themselves (Why Jameis wins big & the media hates on Manziel)

"Y'all already know what the dull media can kiss!"

When the Heisman presentation was over I ran out to eat and ran into some cats arguing about integrity. Oprah Winfrey said, “Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” Baltasar Gracian, the ancient Spanish philosopher, threw his cigarette down and said, “A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.” Then just as Bill Cosby was finishing off the Pudding Pop he hit us with, “If you speak your mind and if it is true what you’re saying, then I think the integrity of what you’re saying carries through.”

The 900 voters of the Heisman Trophy spoke their minds on Saturday evening in New York and it was a land slide victory for Famous Jameis Winston. However, the dull media once again proved my point that most of these duns have hidden agendas and eat sour grapes 98% of the freakin’ time and they had a mouth full of those joints when Famous picked up the trophy.

First of all let me say this, congratulations to Jameis Winston for handling his business this year and completely ballin’ on these boyz. Congratulations for handling the foolishness of the horse head gangsta move that boyz tried to run on you over the past month. It took a real G to keep ballin’ knowing that you would be cleared of any wrong doing because I personally read the 86 page report and it was full of complete foolishness!

However, I want to go in on the dull media for speaking with their votes on how ridiculous boyz can be and how much personal bias gets in the way. I’m glad that it was a freakin’ blow out because ole boy was treated crazy just weeks before the presentation. But how in the world does Johnny Football come in 5^th place in the voting behind AJ McCarron, Jordan Lynch from Northern freakin’ Illinois who plays in the MAC, Andre Williams from Boston College and Tre Mason from Auburn? They may as well have had me on the ballot. I would have come in 4th! Are you kidding me?

Johnny Football had better numbers than anybody in the building, including Famous Jameis! Now like I said before, I’m not mad that Jameis won the joint because I was pulling for him. However, by telling me that Johnny Football is 5^th in the voting tells me that these duns voting are either blind, cripple and crazy, didn’t watch an ounce of college football this year or they’re outright hatin’? It’s a multiple choice question playboy and all answers can and will apply.

Then the first thing these duns will tell you is that the BCS is broken. The computers work just fine bruh, it’s the fools voting that mess it all up. Here is a perfect example of that. Any time you’ve got a cat with better numbers than anybody in the room, he won the joint last year, then you go find some cats to invite to the party at the last minute and they get more votes than he does, it’s an outright hustle! They may as well have been in the parking lot sticking boyz up for their Christmas money bruh!

You wanna talk about integrity? Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! How do you talk to me about the integrity of voters when 115 duns turned in their ballots without Jameis Winston even on the joint? Wheredeydodatat? On some real talk, it should have been only two cats on the freakin’ ballot in the first place! Johnny and Jameis!!

So now you’re gonna sit me down and legitimately tell me that these fools should have a say in who wins the Heisman or who plays for a national championship bruh? Are you kidding me? I’m just glad that at least Jameis won the joint because you could have flipped a coin between he and Johnny and I wouldn’t have been mad. The fact that Jameis’ team is undefeated made the difference for most folks and I’m cool with that.

I still say that if the award is to be given to the MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER in college football, then regardless of wins and loses they should win it because football is the ultimate TEAM sport. If you’re not playing every position on the field then you can’t always control outcomes.

In closing, those 115 cats that completely left Jameis off of their ballots should be stripped of their Heisman vote’s altogether because they’ve proved to the world that they can’t be trusted with that level of responsibility. Just because you don’t like a boy doesn’t mean that he doesn't deserve to win the Heisman because his numbers speak for themselves! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Dinner Farts (Sumlin trying to save face)

"Naw...wasn't me, wasn't us! Naw...who? Huh.."

Jim Rohn, the author of “7 Strategies for Wealth & Happiness”, once said, “Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.” Stephen Covey, the author of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” gave it to us like this, “Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.” Then ole Jim came right back at a boy with, “We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.”

On Tuesday Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin was suffering from both the pain of regret and disappointment of not kicking Johnny Football in his butt on Saturday. However, he was trying to play us like we didn't see what we saw. During his press conference with the media he tried to tell the world that ole Johnny didn’t ignore him when he came off of the field on Saturday after the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Check out what this dun said, “"When he came off the field, basically I made two statements to him, neither one of which should he have responded to. They weren't questions. They were direct statements that I can't repeat right now. So what's amazing to me is the perception that he ignored me. The worst thing that could have happened was for him to reply, based on what I told him." In my Huggy Lowdown voice, “Um huh!”

He may as well have told us that Texas A&M didn’t even play on Saturday and that we had the wrong team, coach and some cat named Jimmy Football caught up in this foolishness playboy. Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! If a boy is walking off of the field and you’re pissed off and hollering at him. It doesn’t matter whether you were asking him a question or you were telling him something he’s supposed to stop and look you in the face.

Do you think that you could walk pass Big Momma if she’s cursing you out? Regardless of what she was saying, you would stop dead in your tracks. Don’t think for one minute that a cat is gonna come to the sideline in Tuscaloosa and not look ole Nick in the face and give the old “Yessir” before he sits down. Not a chance playa. The problem is College Station is that Sumy never put his foot down and now the inmate is running the asylum.

It’s like the parents that allow their kid to fart, throw food and walk across the table while eating dinner at the crib. Then all of a sudden daddy has to take the family out to dinner with his boss and Jr. starts farting, throwing food and walking across the table in the middle of dinner. Then you try to tell a boy that he didn’t see what he saw.

It’s too late now bruh, you can’t get mad at him now that the cameras are on. He’s been walking past you at practice for 2 years and doing whatever he wanted to do so now you gotta deal with it. Like I said a few days ago, “I’m cool with is bravado on the field but they knew what they were getting when they recruited him. He was a rich spoiled brat when they signed him and they never gave him parameters, so it is what it is.

Hey, they’ve got a Pit Bull that has been taught to bite and it’s just a matter of time before he bites the owner square in the butt. See on Saturday that dun didn’t bite he just bucked up at him but at some point he’s goin’ in. Watch what I say! Why? Because he’s got the university and the entire fan base by the gonads.

Texas A&M has only two things to celebrate in the entire history of the program. John David Crow the 1957 Heisman Trophy winner and Johnny Football! The only national titles that they’ve won were in 1919, 1927 and 1939. So none of those duns are even alive and if they are they aren’t healthy enough for them to parade around.

Therefore, the only living legends they have to celebrate are he and Crow and he knows that. Crow’s darn near 80 so 95% of the folks following Aggies football never saw him play. So in their minds he’s irrelevant. So guess what? It’s all about Johnny Football and in his mind “Ima act a fool and it ain’t nothing they can do about it.” Now if they’re cool with it I’m cool with it. Just don’t try to tell me that I didn’t see a boy straight diss you on national TV, stick his toes in the mashed potatoes and walk across the dinner table pulling his draws out of his butt. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The quote under the caption isn't real but it's REAL talk!

White Chocolate (Manziel Gets Hood Credibility)

"Hey playboy, I can sign that football for ya momma if you want me to!"

The author of the “Power of Positive Thinking,” Norman Vincent Peale was choppin’ it up with the fellas and said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” Marcus Garvey gave it to boyz like this, “If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.” Then my man Mark Twain stepped in the building with a pair of maroon gators on and said, “To succeed in life, you need two things, ignorance and confidence.”

He must have been watching Johnny Football on Saturday in the second half against Rice. On some real talk, I loved every bit of his confidence and bravado when he was doing his thing. All of these dull media cats are slamming him for being a confident, yet aggressive stud on the field. Every time he scores he gives boyz the money sign and every time some dun on the opposing team starts jawing at him he gives it right back to them.

On Saturday boyz from Rice were talking mad trash to Manziel and he just gave it right back. That’s when the ref gave him the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The ref always sees the second player, so it is what it is. However, I’ve got no problem with him giving boyz an ear full while he’s between the lines because that’s who he is. The only reason he’s ballin’ is because he plays with no inhibitions and that includes his mouth.

The only problem I had with him was when he walked passed Kevin Sumlin while he was trying to talk to him. You gotta give your head coach more respect than that. Summy should have horse collared his butt just to let to that dun know that “I ain’t the one!” Other than that, I’m good with him playboy! Do yo thang!

Johnny Manziel is simply “White Chocolate” playboy! He’s a white boy from rural America with ghetto tendencies that can roll up in the hood and get tall respect simply because of his confidence. He’s Larry Bird all over again bruh! Now he’s not the talent of Larry Bird but he’s the same personality. Boyz forget all about when Larry told the media that if a white boy guarded him that he would be insulted. Y’all remember that so don’t act like you don’t! Google it if you think I’m making it up. If a boy said that now days the world would explode because everybody's overly sensitive and soft!

Larry got tall props in the hood because he talked trash with the best of them and could back it up. I keep hearing all of these cats like Mark May etc. talking about how Johnny let his teammates down and that they don’t like that foolishness. Where you from playboy? His teammates love that confidence coming from the team leader. Why? Because they’re talking trash too. The cameras are just on Johnny so you don’t see the other duns getting it in. He’s one of the fellas on that.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! All of these clowns keep saying that Sumlin shouldn’t put up with this foolishness etc. Well playboy, it ain’t up to Sumlin at this point. The train has left the station and it’s literally dragging he and his coaching staff down the tracks. The boosters that donate $5 or $6 million a pop are making those decisions at this point bruh. Johnny can get in my Bernie Mac voice, “Bucket Naked” on the 50 yard line and spin on his head after a touchdown and he’s gonna keep playing. Why? Because the boosters say that he should. So stop acting brand new out here! It’s too much bread on the table for him not to and unfortunately Johnny knows that too. That’s why he walked passed ole boy on Saturday.

White Chocolate is the draw and the tickets have already been sold. So sit in the cut and enjoy the show. On some real talk, why in the world would you try to inhibit this kid from being who he is? I kept hearing boyz comparing him to Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday. They talked about how humble Teddy was and how he didn’t want a Heisman campaign for him etc. Well that’s Teddy’s personality and you have to respect it. However, Johnny is a completely different kid and you have to respect the fact that in order for him to ball out he’s gotta be talking trash and doing his thing.

Rod Woodson never said a word but Deion let boyz know that he was in the building when he pulled up in the parking lot. However, they both became Hall of Famers! Tim Tebow was Mr. Humble and Johnny's just the opposite but both of those duns have a Heisman at the crib. So what's your point? There is no rule to say that you’ve got to be humble to be able to ball out. Let him be who he’s gonna be because if you try to keep him from being Johnny Football you kill the drive inside of him and you won’t like the results. Stop me when I start lyin’!

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

"The Don" (Manziel suspended for 30 minutes)

"Where you been playboy? I told you boyz I wasn't going nowhere! Turn the music up!"

Carrie Fisher, the famous actress known for her role as Princess Leia, once said, “Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.” Richard Nixon pulled up in the big body Chevy sittin’ on 24’s and said, “Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.” Then former Secretary of State Dean Acheson got everybody’s attention with, “Negotiation in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties are more anxious to agree than to disagree.”

Well ole Dean hit the nail right on the head with that joint playboy because both Texas A&M and the NCAA had too much bread to lose if the reigning Heisman Trophy winner was ruled ineligible. So they announced in a joint statement that Johnny Manziel, A.K.A. Johnny Football and now known simply as “The Don” would be suspended for only the first half of the home opener against the Rice Owls on Saturday.

Like I said two weeks ago in the Hot Joint entitled "Rollin' the Dice" there was too much bread on the table to let that dun sit. An agreement was reached between both parties even though the NCAA admits that they found no evidence of ole boy accepting money. Therefore, this officially closes the investigation. In other words, he can turn the music back up!

Now on some real talk, if they didn’t find the smoking gun why is he even being suspended? That’s like a boy being found not guilty of shoplifting but he has to do 30 days in jail because we know he did it but we couldn’t prove it. Wheredeydodatat?

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Y’all know this dun is about to be a complete fool at this point. You think he was outta control before? It’s like a dope boy getting caught with 300 pounds of cocaine and the cops can only charge him with the weed found in the ash tray because he got off on a technicality. He gets community service for the misdemeanor weed charge and now he’s back on the streets clownin’ more than ever. Why? Because in his mind he’s untouchable.

I can’t wait until Saturday bruh! That dun is gonna be standing on his head on the sideline, farting and singing the A&M fight song the entire first half. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the parking lot signing free autographs and knocking over boyz BBQ grills until halftime. He’s already taken that Scooby Doo costume down to the equipment room for them to cut the butt out so that he can show his to the NCAA and the rest of America for doubting that he’d beat this!

Then he’ll have them fix the joint so that he can wear it under his game uniform with the ears sticking out of his helmet. It was bad enough that he was a rich spoiled kid with a Heisman Trophy. Now he’s a rich spoiled kid with a Heisman and a rep! He’s laughing at the NCAA because they couldn’t find the most important piece of evidence, the receipt.

I’m listening to all of these dull Ohio State fans screaming bloody murder because the Tatt 5 did no more or less than Manziel did but they got jammed up and Jim Tressel lost his job over it. Stop whining playboys because there is a huge difference between what Johnny did and what the Tatt 5 did. Manziel was smart enough to get up from the table without taking a receipt. Your Buckeyes gave a boy their jerseys and pants and then told him to write the receipt all over their backs, arms and necks! It’s called leaving proof playa. If they had just taken the bread and gone to another tattoo shop they never would have gotten caught and Jim Tressel would still be in Columbus. So stop it! Just stop it!

And don't start whining about Dez Bryant getting suspended either. That dun admitted to a lie! Johnny Football admitted to in my Bernie Mac voice "Notin' Notin'! His story never changed playboy! "I didn't see nothin', I didn't hear nothin' and I didn't receive nothin'! I signed those joints because I was bored." All Dez Bryant had to do is say, "Who's Deion Sanders? Who? What dinner?"

Yeah… ole boy is about to put on the full suit now bruh. Whenever you’ve got the NCAA negotiating with your school to keep you on the field you are officially the freakin’ Don! He’s gonna step off of the team bus Saturday looking like Bishop Don Magic Juan with a full length maroon mink, a maroon and white suit with matching gators and a Aggie pimp cup. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!
