The Roster

I bet many of you read the title for this blog and immediately knew what I was talking about. Ohhh, the Roster....the Roster is your line up of players. They are all potentials (by now you should know what I mean when I say Potential) and each players serves a specific purpose. Speaking for the ladies there is usually one who you always go out with, to dinner, the movies, a show...WHATEVER. And then there is usually one you call over when you just want to chill out inside...either at his spot or yours. There's also one that you usually call when you need something, like gas, clothes, money for your cell phone bill, BOOOKS (yes...it's hard out here). Sometimes there is one player that you hang out with because you rock with his friends....like you almost love them more than him and thats the only reason why you still tolerate his ass. The roster can be as big as you want it to be but it doesn't matter how many players you have because there is only one that matters...the MVP. The MVP comes before all of the rest, even if you have plans with someone else on the roster you will cancel them when the MVP comes a callin'! You invest so much in the MVP because you think he has soooooooooo much potential. You had to go through a competitive draft to get him...probably had to trade a nigga or two and now he's all yours and you don't want another team to scoop him...EVER! But sometimes the MVP turns into the player who's contract is up for review. Even though he has the potential to be great...it's really up to the MVP to end up being as great as he can be, and when they don't live up to the HYPE....a REVIEW IS IN ORDER. Like all the players on the roster the MVP can be replaced as well...but when you sign him you do so in the hopes that he'll be good enough for you to run a ONE MAN squad. But sometimes it doesn't work out like you plan...and it's back to scouting. I think a guys roster is similar to a females. There is that one chick you call over just to hit and then there is one that you don't mind taking out to eat or to the movies because you like being seen with her (she's like a trophy player...not much PT but she looks good on the bench). And then there is probably you're ride or die chick anytime you need her to do something she has your back. And then you've got your main jawn....the MVP who you're hoping doesn't turn out to be a bad pick so you can wife her up! I say to all of you reading this.....be careful with your roster. Pick your players cautiously and wisely, don't get to attached because they come and go, and always remember until you find that MVP who is worth sending the rest of the squad home...then its all just a GAME!

*Side Note: I don't use a roster....I usually have an MVP and a nigga up for review. The rest of these Goons are associates! Hahaha! But I have seen some impressive rosters so I know what I'm talking about.....holla!
