I love it when a brother shows he is not bound to any status quo contract. Now go and get the lawyer for the Dixie Chicks. And stay out of the strip clubs to keep your money up.
Biggups to Rashard Mendenhall for showing that he refuses to be a mis-educated negro, by simply stating his opinion.
Instead of being a 40 million dollar slave, he is priceless. He questioned the "Bin Laden is dead debauchery" that is currently unfolding as a botched political move. As a result, he lost his endorsement to Champion.
His quote:
“What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side…”
Of course, he was bitch-slapped by his organization, the black and yellow (honey bees in my opinion) and shut down by the league.
Mendenhall, bravo and EcoSoul says, "fuck'em". Just go ahead and buy some property in Detroit and pimp the land and row houses out. They need a black man who is uncompromising.
So everybody’s favorite K-9 owner Michael Vick will soon be released from prison. Good for him; he’s paid his debt to society. Hopefully he can reclaim a sense of normalcy after spending time behind bars. For many people returning to the world after doing time it’s hard. For some it can so hard that it contributes and factors in to their return to crime, and ultimately another trip in the prison bus. I don't see that happening for Vick though.
The good thing for Vick is that even in being released into a bad economy, he already has a job lined up. Sure working in construction for $10/hr is nothing like playing in the NFL and having checks for millions direct deposited, but hey, it’s a good start for the brother. I don’t know if he has kids, but I sure would hate to have to see him on the news robbing convenience stores with a kid in tow. Besides, do you know how many people unemployed right now would kill to be able to make ten bucks an hour?
Some people, you know the ones who are referred to as haters? They’re relishing his downfall. I mean why wouldn’t they? He’s the quintessential rags to riches story with a sad ending thus far. For some people, they would love to see him continue to toil. Yup, I’m sure right now there is some dog lover laughing at the fact that he will be working for $10/hr in the near future unlike the millions he made in recent years. The funny thing about that, according to his attorney in a bankruptcy court hearing, he’s slated to earn $600,000 for an upcoming documentary.
So while you’re laughing and delectable of his trivial existence right now hater, he’s slated to earn in one check more than most would make in a lifetime. I’m happy for Vick, and I do hope he returns to the NFL, and does even better than before in spite of the naysayers. Should he make a comeback in the NFL, being a 6yr veteran, he’s slated to make no less than a minimum of $620,000 per year. Surely he’ll be quick to say that he has learned from his mistake should he make that type of money. And you know what? I would believe him. You can’t help but to learn when you lose as much as he has financially. Yes, he made a very costly mistake, but life is all about living and learning, right? I mean, this is America, the land of second chances, right?
I was watching an NFL pregame show on FOX recently and I saw Michael Strahan. When I saw the guy, my initial thought was: "Damn this muthafucka got skinny real quick!" Have you seen him lately? He retired from professional football less than a year ago and he has significant weight and muscle tone loss.
I think its amazing how the non-continuance of "certain" activities impact your life. Like, Mark McGuire for example. You remember how that dude was built like brick shit house and had those huge guns? He used to have tree trunks for thighs! Well have you seen him lately? Nowadays he looks like a white dude who who can get knocked the fuck out on the regular at a local pub for being drunk and trying to kiss any an everybody.,
I used to weigh alot less when I used to drink, smoke cigarettes, do drugs, have sex with random fat chicks without condoms after I left the club drunk at 3am. I was unhealthy. And whats jacked up is that I don't do any of that stuff anymore, and now I'm like about 50lbs heavier. So much for trying to be healthy huh. Oh well, its not like I was a multimillion dollar professional athlete anyway.
I said all of that to say this....
What the fuck happened to Mike Tyson ? Look at him. Do you see how fat this guy has gotten? I mean, I know he was a coke head. Hell, I think he still has charges pending for cocaine possession out in Arizona. But look at him. He's obviously not riding the White Horse like he used to. Hell, from the looks of it he's eating horses these days instead of riding them. I swear, dude looks like a fat midget who ate all 75 of Evander Hollyfield's kids.
The messed up part of the fat Mike Tyson to me, has to be that damn tattoo. Having a crazy ass tattoo on your face is cool when you look like a menace. You can be deisel in the hood like he used to be and have a tattoo like that and niggas would give you respect, or be afraid of you. But a fat dude with that shit on his face? I'm sorry fat dude, you scare nobody. You might still be able to knock a few guys out. But err, umm, a dude can smack the shit outta you, run and live to tell about it. Sorry Mike, you're not in shape anymore like you used to be.
Which, ain't a bad thing if you're not boxing anymore. Matter of fact, its a good thing. It shows everybody that inspite of being broke, that you didn't use steriods like the other athletes mentioned in this post. Oh yeah, and the next time you go to court for some not so well thought out act as you're known to do?! Its safe to say that the judge will assume that you're a washed up bum, and not some coke head.
I still love you though Mike. Aside from being the enigmatic individual you are, I love you. And yes, I'd still put my money on you in a Buster Douglas rematch today. If you lose, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as the first time. Hell, both of you fuckers would be fat has beens to the sport anyway. Win, lose or draw, it would still be better watching instead of seeing you wrestle grizzly bears at a circus.
As a department manager at my place of employment, with charge of a substantial number of employees, I hated when people would call in sick. I never hated the fact that they got sick. I mean people get sick all the time. What I hated were the people who lied to get the day off.
People like that always pissed me off. You know, like the people who call in sick and unable to work because they have the flu when in reality they were at the club the night before and accidentally shot themselves in the thigh? Yeah, you know, people like that? I used to hate giving people the day off due to illness only to run into them on my lunch break at the mall looking the picture of perfect health. I especially loved when I would see them but they never saw me. But at a club, you can't pull that shit off.
I've actually fired a guy at a club before. That asshole called in sick one Friday. Nobody calls in sick on a Friday because its payday so I believed this chowder head. Hell, I even arranged to have his girlfriend come to the job and pick up his check. Only to go to the club later that night and run into that prick. Yeah, I fired him on the spot. And would you believe that dummy had the nerve to come to the job the following Monday and produce a doctor's note and ask for his job back?
What the fuck is up with Plaxico Burress? How in the hell you shoot yourself in the thigh on accident at a nightclub? And why after you've been declared unhealthy enough to play football, you take your ass to a club. Seems to me that if I'm paying you millions of dollars, and you're unable to show up for work, the last place you should be is in a damn nightclub. You might think I'm wrong or being hard on the guy, and for that I understand. But this asshole has been in trouble with the team pretty much the whole damn season. And now with this error in judgment this guy stands to lose out on 24 million dollars of a recently signed 27 million dollar contract. My bad, it was a 35 MILLION dollar contract; the 24 MILLION was just a small signing bonus. With the unemployment rate as high as it is in this country right now, you'd think this dude would act right, and not jeopardize his job. But no, niggas always gotta prove how hardcore they are.
He's been fined, and suspended for missing practice for taking his kid to school. I mean being father of the year is important and all, but just saying fuck work and not even calling in to spend time with your kid or family should get you fired. I don't give a damn that he helped them win the Superbowl last year, that fool needs to be fired. He should have been fired then but they let him slide. I guess coach Tom Coughlin has gotten soft or something. Coach is well known around the league for being a stickler for the rules, but this just goes to show that you just can't reach everybody. If it were me, that clown would have been gone, and there would have been no distractions the likes of the Stephon Marbury debacle with the New York Knicks.
I'm still trying to find out how Burress accidentaly shot himself, and why did he have a gun. I mean with the rash of athletes being robbed I could kinda understand the gun thing. But why did they the club bouncers allow him to even bring a gun in the spot. What, just because he's a star athlete makes him exempt from the rules? I mean really? Why the gun Plaxico? Couldn't you at least have the standard ghetto issued pitbull? Sure its hard to sneak a pitbull in the club, but you're an NFL player and everybody knows how you Negroes love your dogs so I'm sure they would have let you slide.
Hell if the pitbull had bitten someone in the club, nobody would be mad. They'd just think that you cared enough about your dogs entertainment to show him a night on the town rather than have him fight for his life all the while earn you money for the rent. For real though! White people kiss their dogs in the mouth. They would have just blamed the idiot who's ass that wonderful pet took a chunk out of instead. The organization PETA would have been protesting the club for letting ignorant fools in the club to fuck with the pitbull. But fuck that, most importantly, I'd like to know why his always hurt, can't stay healthy ass, wasn't sitting at home soaking his crusty feet in epsom salts instead of being at the club on a Friday night. I'm sorry, but the New York Giants need to give him the boot immediately.
