Life of a Motherfucking Boss: The Rick Ross Biography
As told by Louie Anderson
Rick Ross in the Early Days
Rick Ross was born on January 28, 1989 in Miami, Florida. Rick’s father Ronald Ross was a blue collar hard working Afro American. Ross ran the first and only all black golf club in Miami, a place where golfing legend Chubbs Peterson got his start with the game of golf. Having ties in the sports world, it was only right that Ronald’s son Rick would be an athlete. His mother, Ronda, was a housewife who watched over Rich and his brothers Dwayne and Sean while their father worked. The Ross boys craved an appetite for sports as well as rap music. Rick was the only one of his brothers to completely invest himself in the game of football. Sure, Sean and Dwayne had talent on the gridiron, but their hearts were in hip hop music. Knowing his father had a dream of his sons being great athletes, Rick felt that he needed to perform well on the field in order to make his father proud. Because of this, Ross gained a reputation for being quite a football player. Being obese for most of his life, Rick was naturally placed on the defensive line. It was during this time Rick got the nick name “The Teflon Don”, because not even a bullet could stop him from getting to the quarterback. Rick continued to live up to this mythical creature all throughout high school, and eventually became one of the most highly regarded prospects to come out of the state of Florida in quite some time. Ross was tall and strong, perfect to get a pass rush and could certainly do so on a collegiate level. When it came down to choosing a college to attend, Ross found himself at a cross roads.
Ross was one of the most intimidating men to step onto a high school football field.
College and a Decision of a Lifetime
Rick Ross had his fair share of schools that were willing to pay his tuition in full if he joined their football team. Passing up offers from NC State, Texas Tech, Arizona State, and Baylor; Ross ended up choosing the University of Central Florida. Going to UCF to play football accomplished Rick’s dream of his father’s dream of him playing football at a high level someday. Rick struggled with his weight for the entirety of his playing career at UCF. He also struggled with his addiction to gambling. This addiction caught up to him, when he suffered sanctions from the NCAA after an investigation into illegal poker games. The suspension sent Ross into a deep depression. This depression was so severe that Ross lost 100 pounds and could no longer be a defensive lineman. Now standing at 6’2”, 228 pounds, Rick Ross had to figure out a new position for himself. Luckily for Ross, agent Drew Rosenhaus was able to negotiate a deal with the UFSL’s New York Nightmare for Ross to become their cornerback. Rick is going to have to adapt to an entirely new position, but can he do it? This is finally his chance to prove to his dad that the gambling has paid off. He must succeed for the honor of the Ross family.
Ross is a new person in a brand new city. What will his future hold?
Like any prospect, Ross has his pros and his cons. I’d be doing us all a huge disservice if I didn’t mention his flaws in his biography. Let’s take a quick look at what Ross brings to the table:
Pros
- Speed Now that Rick has lost a significant amount of weight, he is much lighter on his feet. He always went hard at the quarterback, so his explosive first step is certainly there. There’s a chance that some receivers may be able to out run him, there’s no doubt that Ross is quickly becoming one of the fastest players in the league. The Teflon Don will have to use his speed to his advantage, as receivers who can really accelerate downfield have the best chance to burn Ross.
- Desire Ross has the weight of his father’s dreams on his shoulders. There’s a lot at stake here for Rick on a personal level. He wants to prove it to everyone that this is a new point in his life. He believes that he was destined to join the UFSL, and that it was part of the grand plan for his life. With this mentality going into the league, Ross certainly won’t get cheated out of anything out there.
-Experience Ross is no stranger to the game of football, he’s been playing the game and studying it his entire life. While his brothers were writing rhymes, he was studying defensive patterns and strategy. While he may not have played every position on the field, have no doubt that he knows exactly how to play every position there is. There’s a lot of football smarts now playing in the New York secondary, look for Ross to be a standout.
Ross put on a clinic during his private workout for UFSL teams. His football instincts were impeccable. He was one of the most highly sought after free agents in some time.
Cons
-Height Ross is only standing at 6’2”, so there will be a handful of receivers and tight ends who simply outsize someone who used to be the biggest man on the field. Ross adapting to this position will be something that needs to be monitored closely. If he can quickly get over the fact that he will sometimes be thrown around, then he will become a more successful defensive back in this league.
-Off the Field Issues Ross was a major part of a betting scandal at UCF, leading some in New York’s front office to question the corner’s character. Taking a gamble on pure talent, SSHB and the Nightmare can look like geniuses or fools for giving Ross a chance. Look for him to have a short leash with any off the field infractions. There’s always someone looking for a job in this business.
-Chances of Returning Ross, having missed the league’s inaugural draft, will now be subject to the league’s second draft. He was forced to sign a one year pact with New York, something that may end up being a short stay depending on how good Ross becomes and the Nightmare’s draft position. The risk of losing Ross after this season seems to be one many were willing to take, which says a lot about the raw talent he possesses.
Ross has had problems off the field with gambling in the past. Will he allow these distractions to take away from his performance in the UFSL?
