VIDEO: Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers On S Eric Berry, Coaching Staff Additions

by Joel Thorman on Jul 16, 2010 5:52 PM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers recently talked with ESPN 760 down in Delray Beach, FL and had some nice things to say about S Eric Berry and the Chiefs offseason additions.

For those of you still at work, two things: (1) That really, really sucks and (2) I've transcribed all of his words if your boss frowns upon watching Chiefs videos during work. For the rest of you, skip to the 2:18 mark.

Flowers words are transcribed after the jump.

On Eric Berry:

He's a playmaker. In OTAs and minicamp he's been doing nothing but making plays. He's a young guy we have at safety. And the other cornebrack, Brandon Carr, he's a third year along with myself. He's a playmaker. We have a lot of playmakers in the secondary and the defense alone. I can't wait to turn it up on defense and see where we rank at the end of the season.

On the offseason additions:

Our chances are great going in with leaders like Thomas Jones coming over and Ryan on the o-line coming in from Indianapolis, Charlie Weis has a nice system going on offense, Romeo Crennel on defense so I think coach Haley did a great job bringing in the coaches we need and fitting the players to that scheme. So, we're going to have a great season. I'm looking forward to it.

?

And just wtf does that mean? Could someone please translate into middle-aged honky redneck please?

Off season for all my teams right now...sigh! Come on football!!

first of all calm down

second, pimp is not middle-aged honky redneck. basically a pimp is someone who has a bunch of prostitutes and collects their money at the end of the day. so yes bad wording on chevys part but still.

first of all, I'm not wound up

second, I’m not a dumbass and I do know what a pimp is. I am wishing someone would explain to me wtf it has to do with Flowers and this video.

Could you be more condescending

I get it, you don’t like gangsta slang/jokes/anythingrelatedATALL – wonder why?

Regardless,

Here’s some middle aged redkneck speak for ya’s, something my momma used to tell me while rocking in her chair on the porch while pah whittled after a long day in the fields.

perhaps

I need to clarify….for someone who IS a middle-age honky redneck, could someone translate the statement.

I believe the pimp reference means that the author of the comment believes that Flowers is being renumerated for making positive statements about his teammates in excess of what might be considered normal ...

… in other words, he’s out there pushing the team, hyping his teammates (as he should) … pimping in this case means pushing, advertising, letting everyone know etc etc ad nauseum

Thanks upamtn...I was seriously out of the loop on the "pimpin" comment.

see…some of you younger guys think that those of us who don’t get the latest street talk aren’t worth talking to…perhaps it’s not the “latest” street talk to say that Flowers is “Pimpin” because you’ve been using that terminology for say 2 or 3 years….but brother, I’m still wearing the same clothes I had 2-3 years ago. At 45 everything slows down, even my knowledge of street lingo.

Evidently “pimpin” carries with it a slightly different connotation for some of you than for me. See, I still see a pimp as one of the lowest forms of life on the planet because he abuses and imprisons women in a life of modern day slavery.

And when you say that one of my favorite Chiefs is “pimpin” it really pisses me off (not that Flowers needs defending, he can defend his corner quite well on his own).

In redneck it means he drives a monster truck, his girlfriend wears daisy dukes, and he has a hound named Mud

A Pimp...

used to mean a man that has prostitutes but is now more commonly referred to as anyone with swagger, who gets the job done. It is loosely translated and can be used to mean a lot of things, but it is definitely a good thing…

He knows

He just doesn’t approve. Wonder why?

pimp now means to push/advertise/talk-up something

pimping a show, for example, means saying “hey, you should check out this flick/singer” or pimping whatever you really like, especially to excess

by upamtn on Jul 16, 2010 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions

Thank you!

I really didn’t mean to raise such a ruckus! Just sounded like the comment was more of an insult than a compliment to Flowers. So compliment it is! OK! :-)
