Marcus calls Bubba:
B: Hello, y'all!
M: Hi, Coach Kelly, this is Marcus.
B: Marcus! What up, dawg!
M: Man, I got the blues. What do I do?
B: Yeah, sorry about that game last Saturday. It's your QB. He's gotta go. Not only can he not hit the broad side of a barn, he can't hit the damn barn.
M: Yeah, I know, but we paid this guy a million bucks. If I dump him now, he'll walk away with a million bucks for playing 2 games. That ain't right!
B: Of course not, but you gotta do it. That bum Sam Hartman scammed you last year. Don't let Opie do the same thing to you. Play C.J. Carr. He's the answer.
M: Yeah, you're right, but I'm so afraid of the blowback if I do. You know--optics!
B: Marcus, fuck optics! Send Opie back to Mayberry before he has you standing in the unemployment line.
M: I don't know. I'll talk to Pete about it.
B: Don't worry, do it! This is a cutthroat business and you have to be pro-active. Get used to it!
M: OK, coach, thanks for your advice. (Hangs up.)
B: Oh, shit, I know he won't do it. He's too nice. I'm glad I don't have that problem! 😡
