#SHAWNE MERRIMAN LIGHTS OUT ORIGIN CRACK#

You know, I didn't want to leave, you know, my mom leave, my high school coaches, friends, I wanted everybody to come and watch me play. And the reason why is because I was home. I ended up going to University of Maryland and I committed to University of Maryland as a junior. We lived in a shelter, back of cars.Īnd so, you know, kind of just fast forward and everything like that, because that can be a whole hour on its own. We're lighting, my mom lit candles in there because our light and gas got cut off. We were homeless several different times, at least two or three different times where we lost our home due to fires because we couldn't pay our electricity bills.

It was a crack epidemic, the murder capital of the country for almost a decade. Uh, and so we grew up in the late eighties and nineties where, uh, and I was right next to Washington DC, which is like the. I, um, I grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland. But, uh, talk about, talk about the football background and then we'll get into some business. Somebody was asking me like, Oh, I remember that name. Like I remember you were like that dude, like that, like that freak, like they talk about some of the freaks now. I mean, I remember you just wrecking people. And to give people some, you know, your back history, you know, you know, as condensed as you want it to be, but like your story, I know huge chargers. So we don't have to rehash everything, but I do want.

You know, it take half a second on Google for someone to read and do things. I can't wait to get down some of those rabbit holes. Well, you look like you're having fun with it. Um, but I, but I've had a lot of fun with. Um, and just that transition, because we talked about it off air force for a second, it's not, it's not easy. You know, the stuff that I'm doing now, it's, uh, it's like my second act to everything I wanted to do, right. You know what, man? I'm a unfortunate, right? Because, um, now, you know, growing up, like you're, you're the number one thing you want to play football, right? You want to be an NFL, you get a chance to live out your dream. We got lights out apparel, fitness, and we got some damn kick-ass UFC and fighting and all that shit, man. I mean, I, the acronyms could go on and on. What's up, brother? What's up, my man? How you doing? I'm here today talking one of my favorite things, football with the Exile Pro, Shawne Merriman. Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to the latest edition of the Radcast. This part of that need is starting again.

And that's why when I bought the name and rights and trademarks I bought in 2006, I'm sure all my teammates didn't like me and I didn't like every single teammate that I had, but we found a way to come together to win football games and that was what was most important. You can't say that today, can you? You can't say that now, right? I've always felt that Lights Out was bigger than anything I could do in the football field.

They said, why do you play football? And I said, well, I can physically harm somebody and not go to jail, right? Like that was my answer.
