"Eyes blank like plain clothes po-lice
Tell them to pick their own cotton!
This is professional football we don't run the option
Barry Sanders, who gives a fuck if niggas is blockin
Top of the key white as John Stockton"
Triple play with this sports reference. Despite the emergence of of athletic quarterbacks in the NFL over the last 5 years, the option play is rarely used. Quarterbacks are the most important players on the field, and defensive players in the NFL are just too big and to fast to risk getting your QB killed.
Though I was more of a Emmett guy, Barry Sanders did more with less than any other running back I have ever seen. His offensive line was awful.
Thats what makes these sports metaphors work. They are based in an actual understanding of said sports.
The Stockton on the other hand pales in comparison to the other two.
