All yuh hear what happen wid dat basketball player? Ah not calling name eh. All yuh like de commess too much. All yuh want dem lorse me in jail or what? Ah does talk quiet to all yuh and still ah does fine all mih business heng up on de line outside. It not easy nuh!

But yes, as ah was telling yuh. Mr. Foul Shot get ketch wid everyting outside. Jes de udda day ah write and akse all yuh why when dey have everyting dey want, yuh does still fine people going outside sniffing. Well boy, he getting he nose cut off in public now.

I din stan' gawdmudda fuh de boy eh. He doh report he movements to me. But according to what I make out in de papers, he went to some spa and it look like he figure de front desk clerk was offering complimentary room service. What ever happen, happen and de girl fly up in de pohlice station saying how he assault she.

Doh say ah mine'ing people business eh, but dis ting making my picky head hurt me. Firs, he bawl "Not me!" Den he say "is me but she give me I din take it." I doh know if maybe de front desk door close to he room door and de girl open de wrong one and lay dong on de bed by a mistake. Or maybe he knee was hurting he so bad dat he take two Tylenol and it tie up he head and make he decide to do like Dasheen Bush and invade a country dat not belonging to he.

And all yuh ent notice dat it doh seem to matter what yuh spouse look like when yuh ready to do yuh slackness? De boy have a very pretty madame, so is not to say he tired looking at some boseeback wife. He done know it have men and women who does go all over de place looking for big pappie to mess up. He jes sign a contract wid Nike. He know he should keep he referee in he pants. But no, he still gorn and play de fool. So now he madame have shame in she eye, some young girl stand to make plenty money if she win de case, Nike might have to back peddle and he career might end up in de latrine.

Ah watch he on de news, he and de madame. She hole'ing he hand but if I was she I would be squeezing it so hard it would cut awf de circulation. No man doh laugh. I home mine'in we new born chile and you out dere playing dolly house wid some lil nineteen year ole? Yuh mad or yuh playing mad? He say how he 'furious' wid heself. Furious is joke.

Ah hear some people saying is because he black dat all dis bacchanal going on. Because he black what? Black people should not be hole accountable fuh dey actions? People not tired using dat as de first excuse? He do someting wrong and get ketch, ent troo? He admit to adultery, ent troo? If dey prove is assault den crappo smoke he pipe irregardless of colour, ent troo? Ah hear dem comparing he to dat boxer fella, saying how dey setting he up de same way. Everybody know dat boxer is a no-teet, half crack man who does eat people ears, so what is de comparison?

He schtupid plain and simple. Doh come on my TV shedding no crocodile tears telling me how you sorry. Sorry fuh what? Sorry yuh get ketch?

But serious ting doh. What it boil dong to is dat we have so few role models it does be hard to watch dem fall like dis. Dey human ah know, but when you in de spotlight yuh have to live yuh life always keeping it in mine dat people watching you. Maybe is we fault for making dem feel dey better dan we or less easy to fall dan we. Dat young family go have plenty pain before dis whole ting finish. He might even en up in jail for years, de marriage mightn't hole up to dat pressure and his baby would grow knowing she fadda in prison for assault.

All because of what? Is troo dat maybe you din assault de girl but de media doh care about troot. Dey ketch yuh in slackness and dey have papers to sell. Hope it was wort it boy.
