01x04 - I’m Not Distracted

[bunniefuu]

[mellow guitar music playing]

[Jake] There's a tough decision

we have to make.

I stay here at Valdosta

and just be a part of the team

and the community,

but I don't get to play,

or I can try to go

to another school and play.

There's also the other part of me

in my mind that says,

"You know how there's signs from God?

Is this one of them?

Or maybe I shouldn't be

playing football this year."

The thing that makes it really hard

is having to go and tell

my teammates my decision.

[Propst] Get in the weight room.

In the weight room!

Move! Get your a*s over here.

Sit your big a*s down the middle.

All right, listen up.

Jake wanted to talk to you,

sort of tell you what he's

what the situation is,

and then I'll finish up

after you get through, Jake.

[Jake] You guys know I don't like talking.

Um, I wanna start by saying I'm sorry.

Um, I apologize.

I did not mean for it to happen like this.

I wanted to play.

I wanted to win a State Championship here.

Um, came here, didn't really know anybody,

and I can't thank you guys enough.

I'll be going to Grayson High School.

I know you guys

will be in good hands with Amari.

Amari grew up before our eyes,

especially the Lowndes game.

There was adversity in the game.

He bounced back and turned the page.

So I mean, that's huge for you guys.

So, I appreciate you guys all,

and I just can't thank you enough

for accepting me.

I want what's best

for this guy right here.

Just like if it was one of you.

He hasn't been treated fairly here.

A lot of it was me.

People after me all the time.

And it ain't got anything to do with Jake.

For us, turns the page to Amari and Sam,

and we'll be fine.

- Thank you, Jake.

- Okay.

Let's go eat breakfast. Let's go!

- They should have given it

- Cool, man.

Hey, bro.

[Jake] I know that I made

the right decision to leave,

but saying goodbye is never easy.

When you heading out?

I think tomorrow morning.

- You met your coaches yet?

- No, sir.

Just go be who you are

and what you were here.

And if people don't love you,

something's wrong with 'em.

- 'Cause you're an amazing human being.

- Thank you. I appreciate it.

I ain't gonna start crying,

but I hate you leaving, man.

- You know what I mean?

- Yes, sir.

- I love you.

- Love you too.

Stay a part of everything.

Stay a part of my life.

- Promise?

- Yes, sir.

[Sutton] You don't meet

kids like him every day.

To get to be a part of his life

for the time that I was, I feel blessed.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you, seriously.

- Come eat one last breakfast with us.

- Okay.

Just I miss him already.

Just being honest about it.

Just a good kid. A good young man.

They don't come around

like that all the time.

Him flashing in here

and then him flashing out,

and knowing what could have been, also.

There's a lot of things involved in that,

but it still, to me,

goes back to the number-one part of it.

It's just who he is as a person.

There's just a void already

from him being gone, just that quick.

Dude, it's pretty messed up

that Jake went to another school.

Like, he can go play at another school,

but he can't play here.

For real, that's just so unfair.

It's, like

that does not make sense to me.

[Sam] Now that Jake's gone,

I feel like I should be getting

a lot more reps.

'Cause, I mean

Do you think you're better than Amari?

- Yeah.

- So you

I just don't know the plays yet so far.

You ready to go play some arcade games?

It's good It's on me. I got you.

[boy] Oh!

[chuckles]

[Sam] Hit the receiver! What are you

[Amari] Touchdown, baby.

No, you just scratched me.

- You gotta throw it harder.

- [bleep]

Damn, boy, you good!

Bro, you're almost as good at that

as sliding into Amari's girl's DMs, bro.

[game klaxon wails]

That [bleep] not so icey, bro.

- You cheated.

- I didn't cheat!

Morgan's my homegirl, too, bro,

and you over there cheating on her.

[Amari] All I said was, "Wassup?"

So, y'all both sly dog, bro.

I didn't want Morgan.

[Grayson] Just saying it sounded like it.

What he say?

- Not in a bad way.

- "What you trying to do?"

Exact words.

[laughs dramatically]

- Okay, so is that who you want?

- [Peak] Who?

- You!

- I don't want Morgan.

[Amari] That what you want?

I never wanted Morgan.

- We'll let you guys settle this [bleep].

- All right, bro.

That's right. We gotta talk, man.

- You was trying to talk to my girl.

- But I don't want that girl, bruh.

I was trying to test her loyalty for you.

Y'all were arguing

'cause she said you cheated.

So I'm like, I'm finna hit up

and see how loyal she is,

what she gon' fall for.

We supposed to be like this.

I'm, like, "He trying talk to my girl?"

That drove me crazy.

I don't want your girl, bruh.

But I mean, like, Region finna come.

At Region and playoffs,

you can't let

these females get in your head.

You get on the field at practice,

you have a bad practice

'cause you're thinking

about what happened earlier.

You can't let it get in your head, bruh.

We just gotta lock in, bud.

- All right.

- From this point forward.

For sure.

All right. Cool, bruh.

- Mm-hmm.

- For sure.

[Beckham]

All right, Wildcat fans, this is it.

The push for the playoffs.

We gotta start winning

some ballgames, and if we do,

we'll have a shot

at the State Championship.

[upbeat pop song plays]

[Grayson] You should definitely do these.

Hippie? I was thinking hippie,

not gonna lie.

That sounds clean! It looks like you.

Don't wear the hat.

No. Don't wear the hat.

Take it off.

[girl] Stop!

[Lenley] Catch it.

You're supposed to catch.

[boy] You look

like the pumpkin carved you.

You pumpkin head!

- I win.

- You guys like my new self-tanner?

- Whoa!

- [all laughing]

[all exclaiming]

[Zoey] Ow!

- I told you they were heavy.

- That actually hurt.

- It's a chainsaw.

- Let me hit you with it.

[Grayson] It's hard, man.

I'm juggling a relationship with Lenley.

- [indistinct chatter]

- [fireworks explode]

And I got stuff going on with Zoey.

There's only one of me. It's just

Good luck, Grayson.

[Propst] All right.

So, your superintendent,

who hired me,

just told me, in that office in there,

that he's got a lot of confidence in us

and really wants us to win.

Now, he You know,

if you think about his position

He goes out on a limb

and hires me from a rival school,

pays me a lot of money to be here,

and the results need to show up.

The computer rankings still have you

ranked higher than anybody in this region.

Don't discard the Valdosta Wildcats.

Sky's the limit.

[coach blows whistle] Good! Look!

Look. Right there. Right there.

- [whistle blowing]

- [players grunting]

I've been doing pretty good

at practice, working my a*s off.

You just want to get in

and do your thing, prove yourself.

[coach] Everybody up! Ready, set, hit!

Grayson Leavy is

a sophomore for us.

He's one of those players, you look

You don't have any idea he's a sophomore.

You'd think he was a senior.

[whistle blows]

[Kent] Pads down.

Good hammer, bring that hammer.

Stay wide, stay wide.

[Propst] You're very close to starting.

- You understand?

- Yes, sir.

Very close. By the end of the year,

you probably will if you keep working.

- Yes, sir.

- You're strong. You're a strong kid.

If you get another inch on you,

you're gonna be a big-time player

at that defensive end position.

I'm talking about a possible SEC guy.

- Yes, sir.

- Let's go.

- [Tajh] Yo! Yo!

- Yo!

[indistinct chatter]

Y'all are both gonna eat.

[Amari] We all go

to Coach Propst's house before the game.

I was just happy to be over there.

He also makes sure

we're eating right before the game

and not filling our bodies up

with bad nutrition.

Good old chocolate milk.

[girl 1] Please tell me

you know how to do this.

I know how to work out the problems,

I just can't find the third piece.

So, what y'all doing?

Homework or something?

[Sherman] Yeah, I gotta do math.

[girl 2 speaking]

Tajh, he's back with Morgan.

Who's Morgan, Amari?

Tell Coach Propst about Morgan.

[girl 1 gasps]

Who's Morgan?

That's what I call my football.

- [Stefnie] It isn't.

- That's a lie.

[laughing]

Look, I'm gonna give you the real spill.

All coaches gonna think

a girl is a distraction for a player.

I mean, it's easy to say I'm distracted,

but I don't think I'm distracted.

[Propst] What's the three branches

of government?

- [laughter]

- [girl 1] You gonna put me on the spot?

Judicial, legislative, executive.

Shut up, before I slap you.

- [boy] Oh my God.

- [all laughing]

Sherman, who's the Speaker of the House?

I really don't know, Coach.

[girl 1] Exactly.

We don't get taught that.

Nancy Pelosi?

[all cheering]

All right. Hey, listen. Y'all gonna

Let's get ready for bed now.

Let's get ready for bed.

It's 9:26 now

and we gotta get ready to go to bed.

[Beckham] Time for excuses is over.

The one and three Wildcats

have no room for error,

and they need to get things

turned around tonight.

[Kent] We got something to prove.

You should think

you got something to prove every night.

Versus Lowndes, we were nervous.

Versus Colquitt, we were nervous.

It's time to flip the switch

and get your a*s in that mindset.

You can make big leaps tonight.

We're getting better.

We are. We're getting better.

We're a better football team

than we were two weeks ago.

Let's start tonight destroying somebody,

and let's start getting ready

to win a State Championship.

- Okay?

- [players] Yes, sir.

- Ready to go? Ready to go?

- Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

Let's go. Let's go.

[commentator] Couple minutes away

from kickoff, and here come the Cats!

Amari Jones takes the shotgun snap,

swings it out in the flat

to Terrell Denson.

Go!

Picks up a nice block

and picks up first down yardage.

Hey! Wildcat, keep left,

Wildcat, keep left! All right? Go!

Takes the snap,

hands it up the middle to Terrell Denson.

It's wide open,

and he's into the end zone,

- and that's a Wildcat touchdown!

- [cheering]

That puts the Wildcats up

after the PAT, seven to nothing.

You good?

What number's Grayson? Is Grayson 33?

- Thirty-six?

- Thirty-three. He isn't!

Quarterback takes the shotgun snap

and gets immediate pressure

from the left side of the Cat defense.

Big hit by Grayson Leavy.

[Zoey] Yeah!

[cheering]

All you can ask for is a chance,

and Grayson Leavy got his tonight,

and man oh man, is he taking advantage.

What a night by Grayson Leavy!

[Kent] Good, Leavy, thank you. Good job.

Valdosta defense getting back

to their old hard-nosed defensive ways,

allowing Amari Jones

to get it done through the air.

And also that Wildcat offense

getting it done on the ground,

en route to a 41-0 win

over the Westside Wolverines.

Good job, Coach.

Up next for your Wildcats,

we welcome in Northside,

and we begin Region 16A Region Play.

Any time we do anything, there's confetti.

[Kent] I'm glad

I don't see y'all in here dancing

and throwing [bleep] around

and throwing water bottles,

'cause y'all should understand

that you did what you were supposed to do.

- Does everybody got me?

- [all] Yes, sir!

Listen, enjoy this win,

but understand,

Sunday our a*s is back to work.

It's Region,

which means a whole new season starts now.

In your mind,

it might as well be playoffs now,

'cause every game matters.

[woman] How was school?

How are your grades, first of all,

'cause I haven't received

any emails, no any progress reports.

Dunno why you looking crazy,

'cause I'm dead serious.

And if I don't get no grades,

you not cheering at all.

My grades are good.

- Do you tell the truth all the time?

- [laughing] Not all the time, but

[laughing] So, I need to see your grades.

Me and my mama have a good relationship,

but sometimes she can be real strict,

and sometimes she can play.

I know not to call her my friend

'cause she don't play that.

Well, what's going on

with you and Mari-Mar?

He ain't really tell me what he want,

'cause he been having so much pressure.

He been stressing.

He feels like the whole team

puts so much pressure on him,

and he takes it out on me.

What do you mean, he takes it out on you?

I double text him, call him.

He won't answer, he won't text back.

Just, like, little stuff.

I just be, like, "Oh, well.

I just need to stop blowing up his phone.

I just need to back off

and let him chill."

Now since he's the starting quarterback,

everything has changed.

Like, you

He is not on the phone all the time.

You were always complaining about,

"Coach this, Coach this, Coach this."

If he puts

all of his attention into football,

and that's what's important to him,

you're definitely gonna get hurt.

I just feel like

I put more effort into, like

supporting him than he does to me,

because, like, football takes up

a lot of time. There's no days off.

That's no excuse

for why he can't give you attention.

But I need you

to focus other places, completely,

because I don't want you getting hurt.

I can say he tries

to give me some attention,

but it's not the attention I want.

It's, like, a quick attention. "Hey. Hi."

What kind of attention do you want?

- Just, like

- Plenty?

- not just all football!

- [chuckles]

Well, tell me,

what kind of attention you want?

'Cause what kind of attention

can he give you?

Show me he loves me more. Like, he

Love?

I don't know

about this love situation now.

[Morgan laughs]

- Now that I don't know.

- [chuckling]

I'm so serious.

[students chatter]

[man over PA] Good afternoon.

Please be reminded

to please keep your phones turned off.

Kenny, are you depressed

that Jake went to whatever

- Wherever he went, without you?

- [girl] To Grayson? Uh-huh.

I am very sad about him moving.

I reworked my whole school

walking path, just to see him.

- [girl] Didn't you

- And say hi to him.

You saw when I said "hi" to him.

I gave him a Twix

[Amari] You got some ranch?

[Grayson] So, how are y'all doing?

We're doing good,

other than when she wanna be toxic.

Is it you that's toxic?

Or is it her that's toxic?

She starts arguments for entertainment,

just so she can laugh.

Me and Morgan,

you know, we go back and forth a lot.

She's kinda moody.

She get mad, like,

when I don't wanna talk to her 25/8.

Dating her is like a job.

It just comes with a lot.

You see what she posted

on Snapchat yesterday?

What did I post?

This what she posted.

I didn't say that. Wait

- "I'm single. Put me on." Cool, right?

- I did not say that.

I said, "Me too then."

She said,

"What's up? No, I will beat you up!"

- I said, "No, I'm single."

- I was just playing.

No, we don't break up

'cause we think it's fun to make up.

We just break up

'cause he be doing stupid stuff.

It just be, like,

distancing our self from each other.

[rock music playing]

Through the smoke ♪

- No one stands alone ♪

- No one stands alone ♪

Through the fire, we fight hard ♪

No one stands alone ♪

- No.

- [man speaking]

Is it more important to be healthy

when the Region starts?

Those are the games that determine

what seed you are for the post-season.

No question. Once you make the playoffs,

anything can happen

and any team can win it

based on your mentality

of how you approach the playoffs.

We're two and three going into the Region.

The Region starts a whole new season.

[Sutton] Rocker, rhythm. Rocker, rhythm.

Outside!

Even if you lived in the gutter,

you still on the outside in the gutter.

[Amari] I never told you I was

I didn't tell you I was from the gutter.

[player] He's a military brat.

That's too much, man.

Don't have nothing to do with football.

That's the immaturity

that gets us fricking chewed out.

You got a lot more to worry about

than whatever y'all were talking about.

Mess up a play right now

and see how much of me you fixing to get.

- [whistle blowing]

- Drop, drop, drop, get the ball back

Oh, your feet are dead!

- Speed your fricking feet up!

- Gotcha, Coach.

- Gimme 10 for cussing.

- Who, me?

I heard the F-b*mb

when you missed that throw.

I know you weren't talking

about duck hunting.

[man speaking]

How's the season going for you so far?

It's going great.

Bonding with new guys.

But it's a great season so far.

I'm not in a joking mood right now.

Okay, lock it in then, sh*t.

Are you taking over as the quarterback?

How's that feel?

[Amari] Yes, sir. At Valdosta,

it's great taking over as quarterback.

These guys have supported me

ever since I got here,

so I feel comfortable.

- [whistle blowing]

- [coach] Let's go ball!

You out here, boy. [bleep], bruh?

You throwing high

or else to the ground and [bleep].

- I didn't throw it to

- Come on.

I didn't see the defender, b*tch.

- All them bad passes, bruh.

- What you mean "all them bad passes"?

I mean, Amari was,

like, distracted by Morgan.

Whatever happened in school with them,

I guess he let it get in his head

when he get to practice.

He think about it.

- Some plays you're meant to save me.

- Yeah, some plays

- You don't think

- It been a lot Too much lately.

- Gronkowski be saving Brady.

- It been too much lately, bruh.

- Gronkowski save Brady.

- Right. That's Gronkowski, bruh.

No, I don't feel like she's a distraction.

She sometimes get hurt feelings

when she be bored,

'cause I don't text back.

But she she's supportive.

He's another

that needs to be talked to about it.

Listen, girls gonna come a dime a dozen.

I'm gonna talk to him like a grown man.

He can leave that girl alone,

just leave her alone.

[indistinct chatter]

When we walk by

You know how we walk down the stairs

- to our third-period class and stuff?

- Yes.

Like, I was, like, "Hey!"

I was, like, "Hey, Christian!"

And he just walked right past me.

You know how the courtyard goes like this,

and they come from weightlifting?

He was staring at me as I was walking,

so I look back to wave and he looks away.

He ignores my wave.

I was like, "Don't do that!"

But it's whatever.

Okay, honestly,

how do you feel about Grayson?

- Honestly?

- Yeah.

It's not, like Okay, right now,

if Grayson is with Lenley, I support that.

"You do that. Go with Lenley."

I'm not gonna be mad at Lenley.

But I'm not the type of person

that's like, "He's mine. Get away."

But all I'm saying is that

[giggles] if he ever needed me,

ever needed anything,

I would probably drop everything

to help him immediately.

I'd be like, "Yeah."

- Have you ever watched The Notebook?

- [laughs] Yes.

- That's The Notebook, right there.

- Mmm.

I do believe in soulmates,

and I do believe

in God bringing people together,

and I believe that maybe

Zoey and Grayson are soulmates.

They always come back to each other.

They're like magnets. [chuckles]

Do you still love Grayson?

Yeah, I love Grayson.

Oh, whoa! That was That was quick.

Do you know it's love, though?

You're, like, in

I mean, Grayson's said it too.

He's, like, "I'll never stop loving you."

It's not I don't know.

- You can love a person in a different way.

- Like as friends.

- Yeah.

- But you guys aren't friends.

- Yeah.

- You're friends.

But you don't love him like a friend.

Um, yeah?

- More than a friend.

- I don't know.

- Oh, you don't know.

- Yeah. Wait, what?

- I don't know either.

- [laughs]

- Has he said, "I love you"?

- Yeah.

That's what my mom and dad

say to each other.

[Grayson] So mean to me today.

Like, what did I do?

- [Lenley] You are usually rude to me, so

- I'm never rude to you.

All my friends come to my house

and you don't go downstairs by yourself.

That's 'cause if I see your stepdad,

he wants to sh**t me.

He doesn't even know about us.

- How

- Because I lied.

Don't Did you say I'm g*y?

No.

I keep getting in trouble

because you keep eating my food.

- I never eat your food.

- Yes.

I never eat your food.

You're just against me today.

- [Lenley laughs]

- Just the world versus Grayson today.

[Lenley] Yeah. It is.

[Amari] Morgan's a big complainer

about texting back.

Like, 6:58,

she expect me to text back 6:59.

That ain't how things

That ain't how my time operate.

[Morgan] When I'm not mad at Amari,

it's okay for him not to text back.

But when I'm mad, he better text back.

Bump all that football stuff.

He better text me back.

[Amari] I mean, I love Morgan.

You know, I do.

But, at the end of the day,

I love football.

Football my main boo thing.

I ain't saying Morgan my side boo thing,

but she come after my football boo thing.

So, like, she gotta understand

that she come after football.

She gotta understand that.

[commentator] Region Play

and the real hunt for the playoffs

starts tonight against Northside,

and if you're just joining us,

it's been a grind for the Cats.

- [grunts]

- [whistle blowing]

- [announcer] There's a flag on the play.

- That's twice on Peak!

[commentator] We're up

seven-to-nothing against Northside,

who always plays us tough.

Coach, we cannot take a sack right here.

[Morgan] Where's Amari?

Oh, I see him.

[bleep] Time out, time out, time out!

[whistle blowing]

Son of a b*tch!

- [announcer] at the 28-yard line.

- Damn it!

Damn, that's the thing you can't do.

Try to get a field goal right here.

Lord Jesus!

Is Amari still in? Or is this defense?

[crowd groans]

Left. No good.

[crowd boos]

We ain't worth a [bleep].

[reporter] Going into halftime,

I know that you're frustrated.

Can you give me a little insight?

Uh, just not playing good on offense.

You know,

just quarterbacks missing throws,

penalties,

two holdings on Peak.

[reporter] This talk you're gonna give,

what's it gonna sound like?

- [Propst] Not gonna be real nice.

- Thanks, Coach.

Sit down, offense! Sit down!

Embarrassing.

We can't execute a play!

Not one play!

The score should be

it should be 35-nothing.

Thirty-five-nothing!

The worst offensive half

of football I have seen in my life!

Y'all can't maintain a block

more than a second.

More than one second.

How can you weigh 300 pounds up front,

and you can't block?!

'Cause you can't execute.

Terrible quarterback play.

[bleep] quarterback play.

Take it out of the quarterback's hands,

'cause he can't play right now!

He ain't made a play!

[commentator] Late in the third quarter,

the Cats find themselves

on the one-yard line.

We need a touchdown now!

[Propst] Ball! Ball! Ball!

He fumbled the ball.

- [Propst] The whistle ain't blown!

- [Sutton] He's hurt too.

[whistle blowing]

[Sutton] Get Sam. Sam, go get loose!

They didn't even get a touchdown,

did they? Why they right there?

Go!

He hit my elbow.

I don't care!

Land on the ball!

- [Amari moans in pain]

- Let me see.

No, it hurts

'cause of your [bleep] fumble!

- I got

- You don't fumble!

- I got hit, Coach.

- I don't give a [bleep] damn!

What's that matter?!

[Amari] You can't check on me first?

That's when I knew

that's the type of coach he is.

I can't show no more injuries.

Sir, he hit my elbow

That's so baby. That's baby.

You want me to put Sam in

to score next time? Can you go?

- Yes. I'm gone.

- Go then!

His coach said he's not supposed

to be talking to you before the game.

Why are you on the phone

with him before the game?

Isn't that gonna mess up his time?

- [Propst] Don't do that!

- [loud thud]

He spend all his time on football, though.

I come first. Well, school comes first,

but then I'm next, then football.

I don't care what nobody say.

[Sutton] Quit doing that.

Either hold your arm up

or get out of the game.

[Amari] I'm good.

[Propst] He can't throw

'cause he's worried about his arm.

There ain't a damn thing wrong with him.

He got the [bleep]

knocked out of him, that's all.

Sam, have you been throwing?

Have you thrown? Throw some more.

Play Sam, Coach. Play Sam.

I'd rather play him.

I'm so pissed off at Amari right now.

He ain't got a clue what he's doing.

I'm telling you, he's lost in the rain.

And it's all because

he [bleep] get on that phone

all day today, with his phone.

All day today.

All day arguing with his girlfriend.

All day, all last night.

I'm done with him.

I'm done with his bull [bleep] crap.

[Sutton] Come on, Sam.

Time to welcome yourself

to Valdosta right here.

- [crowd cheering]

- [whistles]

[Phil] Go Sam.

Go Sam.

Hey, H dive, swarm left.

[Sam] H, H, H!

[commentator]

Sam Brown takes the shotgun snap,

runs hard up the middle,

picking up another first down,

and, more importantly,

chewing time off that clock.

[players grunting]

[announcer] And the final score,

Valdosta 14, Northside nothing.

[commentator] Valdosta Wildcats

are the winners tonight over Northside.

Quarterback Amari Jones

under a lot of pressure all night.

It's clear the Wildcat offense

has a lot of work to do.

[Propst] A win's a win, I get it,

but I'm gonna say it like I say it,

we gotta get better quarterback play.

At the end of the day,

it's quarterback play.

One thing I like about your mama,

she's even pissed off at you.

That's one thing I like.

She's even mad. She ain't happy with you.

You want me to read you

what she texted my wife during the game?

She said, "Man your a*s up."

That's exactly what come in the damn text.

I wish all mothers were like your mother.

But we'll just open

the damn quarterback spot up.

So, whoever completes

more ba*ls in practice next week

is gonna be the starting quarterback.

We gotta get it fixed.

It's now or never, now.

[slow music playing]

[Propst] Amari!

Where's your food? Right there?

Yes, sir.

Come on. We'll eat in a minute.

I got something I wanna talk to you about.

Don't leave without getting

something on that from the trainer.

Okay. Just put it right here.

After school, I got a text

from my mom saying, "Can you talk?"

And when I get that message,

it's either I got a bad test grade

or I done did something wrong at school.

I know I didn't get a bad test grade.

All right. [sighs]

Now, we know going forward where you are.

You're the guy

that's gonna either lead us, or

Being successful or not being successful.

You know, I think you've persevered

through some things, and that's good.

And what I'm here to talk to you about,

and why I wanted your mama to hear this,

is because I am concerned,

with the type of kid you are

Is this girlfriend situation.

And, Mom, it's not a good situation.

You cannot be my quarterback

and continue down this path.
