On Thursday the Philadelphia Eagles received their Super Bowl rings and they brought the bling with 219 diamonds and 17 sapphires. There were 127 diamonds in the bezel alone payin’ tribute to the “Philly Special” which represents the sum of the jersey numbers of the three cats, Corey Clement (30), Trey Burton (88) and Nick Foles (9) that handled the rock post-snap. They also featured their motto for the season, “We All We Got, We All We Need” and the word “family!” They didn’t miss a thing. Talk about havin’ a ring that represents a championship!! We’ll they have it!!
The only problem is that the joint says “World Champions” written across the top of it. You go through all of that detail only to lie to yourself. When did the NFL become a world league? How many teams did they face from other countries? Not a single one bruh because they don’t play American football anywhere else in the freakin’ world. I can’t just call out the Eagles because all of our professional sports teams do it. Every team that wins a title in their respective league lies to themselves about bein’ world champs when they are simply league champions. And that’s a big deal but it sounds better to say WORLD Champs right? It does but it’s a lie.
As soon as they put a microphone in a boy’z face they start screamin’ that they’re World Champs. Then cats run out into the streets, jump on social media with the foolishness of callin’ themselves champions of the ENTIRE World and that’s crazy.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! On some real talk, I think that it’s par for the course for Americans to be arrogant and this is just another reason why people from other countries tend not to like us. How can you fix your mouth to call them a “World Champion” when they didn’t compete on a world stage? The Eagles aren’t the world champions bruh. That’s what the Olympics or the World Championships are for. The Super Bowl determines who the champions of the NFL will be. Therefore, the ring should say NFL Champions. That’s like the duns down in Alabama walkin’ around with rings that say World Champions instead of National Champions. It’s crazy and no one bats an eye.
How can we call it the “World Championship” when the only teams playin’ in the freakin’ playoff are from the same league? That’s like sayin’ that we won the national hood championship and the only cats that we played were from OUR hood. Sure, my block had some real G’s but we didn’t compete against every hood in America to win that title. That’s like some chick winnin’ a beauty contest in New York and then tellin’ boyz that she’s Miss America because New York has some of the baddest chicks out. That doesn’t even make sense.
Ultimately, it’s like ole Jeromie Rome winnin’ the Pimp of the Year Contest in Detroit because he rocked the hottest gators and purple suit. Only to turn around and say that he’s the World Champion Pimp without goin’ up against boyz like Rudy Ray Moore A.K.A Dolemite, Shaft or Huggy Bear!
The only true “World Champions” are the cats that participate in the World Cup in soccer, tennis players, golfers, boxers or duns that run track that compete at the World Championships. And of course the cats that compete in the Olympics. Why? Because the entire world participated in those tournaments. So whoever wins it, is the true “World Champion”.
Now the Eagles are runnin’ around with a hand full of ice lyin’ to boyz about that they beat the ENTIRE world playin’ American football. It’s misleadin’ or like Big Momma used to say, “You a lie & the truth ain’t in you!”
In my Ice Cube and Das EFX voice, “You need to check yo self before yo wreck yo self!” because our attitudes about who and what we are can sometimes be terrible. Sure, we probably have some of the best athletes in the world. However, that doesn’t mean that we’ve always got the best TEAMS in the world. I can remember back to 2004 when the U.S. Olympic basketball team picked up a bronze medal. We probably had the best set of athletes in the tournament but we didn’t have the best TEAM. So to say that because we’ve got the best athletes and therefore we should call our league champions “World Champions” is arrogant and ignorant playboy.
If there were a world tournament played every year for all of the baseball, basketball and football league champions around the world and our teams won those joints then I’d agree. If we win those “world series,” if you will, then you can wear the tag “World Champion,” but until then stop lyin’ to folks tryin’ to make it bigger than what it is. The Eagles won the Super Bowl Championship bruh not the World Championship. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
