Locker Room BEEF

As you can see here-------------------->
I like to CHILL before the game & get my mind RIGHT (this was in Mexico City, Me-hee-Ko). I wasn't always able to do that though, at least not with Brandon Lloyd & Kevin Barlow around [smh].

When I first was trying to make the 49ers I didn't even have a REAL locker, it was a dusty-black, portable, "earn your stripes first" locker. Just behind me, in "I'm already a Millionaire Land," Kevin Barlow, Brandon Lloyd,  & the rest of the vets had the lavish, secret compartment, "YOU tryna take my spot(!?)" lockers. I had SEVERAL chances to quit early! When I first got there, Mike Nolan told me that I probably wouldn't make it, but, "Where gonna give you a chance." Also, my position coach (Jerry Sullivan) smooth cussed me & the other rookies out everyday, without fail, just for being rookies! We could make the same exact mistake as a vet, but hey...that's just how it is...I guess.

Anyway, to the BEEF! LoL It first started one day when I let Frank Gore listen to my new track on my iPod (Barlow's locker was next to his). When I came back to get it, Kevin was staring at me like he wanted my autograph!? As I was walking back to my locker, I felt somebody grabbing me from behind, and sure enough...it was Barlow. Why? Lord knows. I used to wrestle (8th grade CHAMP...haha), so I removed his hands, turned around, & gave 'em a "C'mon Man" look. He replied, "Yeah, that's what I thought lil' nigga!" Are you confused yet, b/c I sure am. And that was the end of that. Ten minutes later (I promise), I saw him again while I was headed to get taped for practice, & he said, "Wsup young Amey...let's BALL out there today!" Huh? Didn't you just try to light-weight molest me 10 minutes ago!? So anyway, instances like that happened about 5 more times. I honestly was prepared to get CUT (which I would have b/c he was our starting RB & I was just a small-school Free Agent) just for the chance to knock him smoooooth out & force him to STOP harassing me, but cooler heads prevailed* I ended up finding out later that he was/is Bipolar...but I guess just towards me? All I can say is "WoW!" It if wasn't for the BLOOD.

Brandon Lloyd...we'll talk about him later today, when I get into "The Tebow Thing." God Bless.
