Alright, so you wanna know what this “CJ” stands for in that football fella’s name, CJ Stroud, right? Okay, okay, lemme tell ya what I heard. It ain’t complicated, not like them city folks make it out to be.
First off, his real name is a mouthful, somethin’ like Coleridge Bernard Stroud the Fourth. Can you believe it? Four! Like they ain’t got nothin’ better to do than name folks the same thing over and over. Anyways, his daddy, he’s Coleridge the Third, see? So, folks started callin’ the young’un “CJ”.
Now, some say the “J” stands for Junior. Makes sense, right? Daddy’s Coleridge Senior, so the boy’s Coleridge Junior. But hold on, that ain’t the whole story, not by a long shot.
This boy, CJ, he says his mama, she’s the one who started callin’ him CJ right from the get-go. Said she’s been callin’ him that since he was a little bitty baby. So, it ain’t like some fancy nickname they cooked up later. It’s been CJ all along, far as he’s concerned.
- So, what does the J really stand for?
- Well, some folks think it’s Junior.
- But the boy himself says it’s just always been CJ, thanks to his mama.
Now, I ain’t no scholar, ya know? But seems to me, it don’t really matter what that “J” stands for. Could be Junior, could be nothin’ at all. What matters is that’s what folks call him, and that boy’s playin’ some good football, real good.
Heard tell he’s playin’ for them Houston Texans now, and he’s doin’ real well. Breakin’ all sorts of rookie records, they say. Good for him, I say. Work hard, play hard, that’s what I always say. And this boy, he’s workin’ hard, you can see it.
And another thing, he wears number 7 on his jersey. You know why? Because of that Michael Vick fella. Said he looked up to him when he was growin’ up. See? Even these fancy football players, they got folks they admire, just like the rest of us.
So, there ya have it. CJ Stroud. A good football player with a name that’s got folks talkin’. Whether that “J” is for Junior or just somethin’ his mama came up with, it don’t change the fact that he’s a darn good player. And that’s all that matters in the end, ain’t it? He’s makin’ a name for himself, that’s for sure.
Now, don’t go askin’ me no more complicated questions, ’cause my head’s already spinnin’ from all this talk about Juniors and Seniors and whatnot. Just watch the boy play football, that’s what I say. He’ll show ya what he’s made of, no matter what his name is.
And remember, it don’t matter if you’re Coleridge the First or Coleridge the Tenth, what matters is what you do with your life. And this CJ Stroud, he’s doin’ alright, seems to me. He’s makin’ his mama proud, and that’s somethin’ worth more than any fancy name, if you ask me. So, let’s just enjoy the football and leave the name-callin’ to the announcers, alright?
Anyways, that’s the story as best as I can tell it. Don’t get too caught up in the details, just enjoy the games and cheer for the fella, ya hear?
