What Th@ H3LL?

I was at the Panther win over the Chicago Bears this past Sunday (Sept. 13) and I remember looking up at the monitor in the press box at the score of the New England Patriots and New York Jets game. The Patriots were up, and eventually beat the Jets. Most of you know that now. 

The fact the Patriots won isn't really shocking. Not to me. The fact they won without Tom Brady at quarterback isn't shocking either. What has me wondering, "What the Hell," is the fact that they started a guy at quarterback that hasn't started a game since high school. Let me say that again. Matt Cassel (pronounced like castle, not Ku-cel), guided the Patriots to his first win as a starting quarterback since high school. 

That's some bullshit to me because I can name about 10 really good black quarterbacks that are sitting at  home, hoping to someday sign with a team. Hell, Dante Culpepper was like, "Fuck it." He retired after he couldn't find a home before the season started. What I'm trying to figure out is how the hell can a guy make it to the NFL when he didn't even do shit in college. I mean, white guys have it easy as hell. Damn.

You wouldn't ever see a black quarterback, that didn't start, make it to the NFL as a quarterback. Hell, guys that did their thing in college can barely make squads these days. And, guys like Tarvaris Jackson (Minnesota Vikings) can't get a break because he's black. How many times do you hear announcers say, "The Vikings would be Super Bowl contenders if they had a quarterback." That's some bullshit. Is it because he came from Alabama State, and not USC (where Cassel sat the bench for four years)? I'm just sayin.' 

That was just one of the many random thoughts that had me thinking while I was watching another football game. Crazy... You can't tell me that I don't have a point, though. CHUUCH.

"Did I Miss My EXIT?"

According to industry insiders (who's identity I will NEVER release' cuz I ain't on "The First 48") LL Cool J's latest release, appropriately entitled "Exit 13," symbolizing his 13th and final album as part of a multi-album deal signed with Def Jam may not sell 50,000 copies in its first week.

My original feelings about the G.O.A.T.'s marginal success we of sympathy and disappointment then it hit me "I haven't even heard the damn album and don't care much for the single." Furthermore, he's had 13 albums....way more than most artist unless you like PRINCE or somebody.

Should LL be upset that he didn't see any records,of course but in the history of his last few albums, who will he blame this time. JAY-Z is gone, the deal with G-Unit kind of disappeared, and he probably could have gotten out his deal after....say album 10. The bottom line is you can't make people support you. If its over, its just over.

The above statements were in no way intended to disrespect you Mr.James Todd Smith or you Mr.LL Cool J but even you two stopped wearing FUBU at some point in your life,just look at your album and career as "PLATINUM" FUBU...we loved it for a long time but eventually moved on.
