He Keeps Running Back: Season One
On the eve of Superbowl, Andre Waters, phenom running back of Portland's professional football team, is shot three times in a Las Vegas penthouse suite. Before his attacker is identified, Andre reflects on his life choices and football career decisions leading to this violent conclusion in the luxurious lodgings of a ritzy casino Skyloft.
From humble beginnings at Texas Southern University, Andre is a 17-year-old pigskin prodigy, young, dumb and full of‐‐testosterone. Gifted and gullible, Andre is fabulous on the field, while off-field he clumsily fumbles the hearts of two gorgeous young women. With the speed of an Olympic sprinter, Andre can maneuver between defenders and pivot between girlfriends.
As linebackers pursue Andre in football games, the running back is oblivious to evil forces stalking him in his personal life. A tragic tale of the Arkansas backwoods reveals the motivations of Andre's true enemy. He keeps running back between two women until he is eventually blindsided. The Running Back is the calamitous drama of a rich, Black, adolescent fool!

What the HELL
Okay, this book started out okay, could get the little drama of the youngins, then the shit just got stupid and pathetic. You made these black women look weak as hell, and the young black rich men look like complete stereotypes. Yeah you could have kept this one in the closet of your mind.
