JIM IRSAY DESTROYS CRIPS’ HEADQUARTERS

They could see the smoke from a mile away. They knew there was a possibility that the Crips’ headquarters was set ablaze, but no one wanted to say it. It could have just been another building that was burning, yet each man was less optimistic with each step they took toward their destination.

And then they saw it with their own eyes – flames engulfed the Crips’ hideout. Some of the young men – many of whom happened to not be wearing any pants – fled from it. Others cried out for their friends, who were trapped inside. At the center of it all was a convertible that somehow collided with the building. Emmitt and his friends quickly understood that the car exploded when it crashed into the Crips’ home.

They found DeSean Jackson, the leader of the Crips, stoically staring at the flames.

“What happened?” Rice asked.

DeSean didn’t say anything for a while. He then pointed to an older white male who was mashing buttons on his cell phone. Emmitt and his friends recognized him instantly.

“That is Jim Irving, the owner of the Colt!” Emmitt exclaimed.

“Irsay, Emmitt,” Josh Gordon said, correcting his friend.

Emmitt and the rest of the gang approached Irsay, who was shouting expletives at his phone.

“Jim, what is the meaning of this?” Robert Kraft asked.

“I can’t fit 140 letters into this tweet!” Irsay yelled. “I’m asking Andrew Luck if he likes Cocoa Puffs or Cocoa Pebbles more, and I also want to say that I bought two boxes of Cocoa Puffs today, but I can’t make it all fit, God damn it!”

“Well, maybe these here Dallas Cowboy playoff tickets will cheer you up,” Jerry Jones smiled, reaching into his pocket.

“Ha! Dallas Cowboy playoff tickets, that’s a good one!” Irsay laughed. “That’s a great joke. OK, I feel better now. What did you guys want?”

The men pressed Irsay to reveal what transpired. Irsay, who finally sent his tweet, discussed the events of that night.

“You see, I was making a special delivery to a friend; it was cocaine,” Irsay said. “OK, fine, it was more than cocaine. My cool friends managed to mix cocaine, crack, crystal meth, weed and Cocoa Puffs all into one drug. It’s fantastic. I was going to sell some to an associate of mine, but then I thought, why not do some myself? So, I zipped down my pants – you inject this stuff into your anus, you know – and oh man, it felt good. Wow, it felt good.”

Emmitt and his crew had no response. They just stood still with their mouths agape Irsay continued his tale.

“So, I’m still driving around, high as f***, and I forgot where I had to go. That’s when I saw this ugly hooker on the side of the road. I was like, ‘Yo hooker, get in and blow me while I inject more of this drug into my anus.’ So she did that, and I’m so high at this point that I can’t even see s***, and then I can’t remember what happened, but I crashed into this building.”

Once again, everyone was speechless. Irsay cleared his throat and kept going.

“The hooker is nowhere to be found, but then I remembered that I had tanks of propane in my trunk, so I was like ‘I better get the f*** out of here!’ So I jumped out of the car and landed on top of the ugly hooker. She’s mad as s*** that I disturbed her nap, and I’m like, ‘Who the f*** naps on a sidewalk anyway?’ So she gets mad as hell, and I don’t want to deal with her. She came at me, and I knocked her the f*** out with one swing. Then, I dragged her into the building, which is burning down, so I’m guessing she’s dead. Oh well.”

No one had anything to say, but Ray Rice nodded. “I understand the feeling, Jim.”

“Cool,” Irsay replied nonchalantly. “Oh, I have some of that drug left over. Do any of you want that in your anus?”

Johnny Manziel was the only person to accept Irsay’s offer.
