Bitterness can eat away at a man and it can turn him into an all out sucker too. On Wednesday former Louisville Cardinal basketball coach Rick Pitino turned dry snitch on Romeo Langford’s recruitment. Ole boy told the Courier-Journal that Romeo’s old man, Tim, got paid by Adidas last year to run an AAU team that his son was on. Essentially, they won the battle between Nike and Under Armour.
Here’s the way it works playboy, these shoe companies get in good with the AAU teams to cultivate relationships with the top players. If they can get establish relationships with the players they can influence them to attend a school that has a deal with their brand. It’s perfectly legal and it’s a way for the bread to get to the players, coaches and other known entities for lack of a better word. It’s the American way!
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! College sports is a racket and everybody and their baby’s momma is makin’ money off of these kids and it’s been that way for decades. So I’ve got no problem with Romeo’s old man gettin’ money if what ole dull Rick Pitino is sayin’ is true.
My problem is with him turnin’ dry snitch on a kid and his family when he was hustlin’ tryin to recruit him too. And he was doin’ the same foolishness that he’s accusin’ Romeo’s dad of doin’. Gettin’ money!!!! Stop with this foolishness!!! Louisville is an Adidas school too. So he was definitely in the hunt for the kid at one point.
Pitino should be ashamed of himself for throwin’ that family under the bus because his butt got caught. He’s like the dun playin’ hide and seek and his leg is stickin’ out of the bushes. He gets caught and then tells everybody else hidin’ in the bushes with him, “Hey man WE got caught.” Naw playa, YOU got caught!
Ole Rick is a sucka for that one bruh. I hope Romeo balls out at Indiana and dips as soon as he can to make as much money as he possibly can in the NBA. Why? Because there are too many duns linin’ up to make money off of this kid, includin’ IU and everybody affiliated with the school.
By the time he gets to Bloomington this summer they’ll be sellin’ his jersey in every bookstore in the city limits and they’ve probably already sold out Assembly Hall for next season at higher ticket prices.
As a matter of fact, here’s a picture taken not 24 hours after the dun announced he was comin’ to B-town! They’ve got the freakin’ jersey on sale already!!!
And guess what playa? Romeo doesn’t see a dime of that bread. And miss me on the “He’s gettin’ a free education foolishness” because he’s only in college because the NBA says that he has to be there for a year. Do you realize how much bread can change hands in a year off of that kid? Miss me bruh!!!
So IU gets to hustle his name for free for the next nine months. I’ve got no problem with his old man gettin’ his money too. He deserves whatever he got and then some. Stop me when I start lyin’!

1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Put it where the goats can get it: verb phrase – to make it as elementary as possible. To put it at ground level so everyone can understand it.
3) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
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!”
