Draft Night Fuckery: Rich Boy Prank, NFL Yawns, Shedeur Still Under the Scope
✉️ THE MORNING TRAP – APRIL 29, 2025
KinFam, Welcome Home!
Wassup?!
Alright, tap in! Tap in! It is officially Tuesday, April 29th, 2025, and you know what time it is. The Morning Trap is LIVE and we ain't pullin' no punches today, fam.
Draft weekend excitement? Yeah, we had some of that. But while everybody was talking picks and fits, some other ish went down that we NEED to talk about. We got a young Black man, Shedeur Sanders, on the precipice of his dream, and some privileged clown decides it's funny to yank the rug out from under him with a fake-ass phone call.
And the response from the powers that be? Crickets for the ones who did the dirt, and continued scrutiny for the one who got played! Man, listen. The double standard is so loud right now, it's breaking the sound barrier.
We gon' decode this whole damn mess. We gon' drag the negligent, uplift the principles, and give you the real on who gets to mess up and who gets crucified for it in this game.
So strap in, crank the volume, and make sure you subscribed!
'Cause The Morning Trap is 'bout to break down this bullshit like only we can!
Let's go!
This is The Morning Trap. ✊🏽

🎯 TOP TRAP – Draft Night Fuckery: Rich Boy Prank, NFL Yawns, Shedeur Still Under the Scope
📌 Quick Recap:
Shedeur Sanders on the phone, thinking his NFL dream call is here. Nah, fam. Just some privileged clown, Jax Ulbrich – son of the Falcons DC – faking like he's a GM. How'd he get the number? Daddy's unsecure-ass iPad. On GP.
Falcons hit us with a weak "our bad," callin' it "unintentional." Unintentional my black ass. They found the number off an open iPad. That's negligence, period. But hey, no real consequences for Daddy Ulbrich or the kid who did the dirty work.
Mean-muggin' Shedeur, though? Oh, they had plenty to say 'bout him. "Bad interviews," "attitude problems," all the tired tropes they trot out when a Black man ain't tap-dancing or shuckin' and jivin'.
🗣️ Trap Quote of the Day:
"White boys get to 'make mistakes.' Black boys gotta be perfect just to get played."
🎛️ THE TRAP BREAKDOWN – They Want Us Starving and Silent
🎤Intro Take:
Peep the game, y'all. Shedeur Sanders is just tryna make his way, secure the bag he earned, and on one of the biggest nights of his life, some entitled suburban kid thinks it's a comedy show? And the league's response is basically, "Oops, teehee"? Meanwhile, they done put Shedeur under a damn microscope for breathing. This ain't just a prank; it's a perfect snapshot of who gets protected and who gets scrutinized in this damn league.
📚Backstory:
This is the NFL, a league built on Black bodies but often run by folks who fear Black minds and Black confidence. They love the talent, hate the agency. Look at the history! They questioned Colin Kaepernick's patriotism for taking a knee but celebrated dudes with domestic violence charges. They pick apart Black quarterbacks' "leadership" and "processing" while giving others a pass on red flags you could see from space. Eli Manning's family basically strong-armed their way to a preferred team, and it's a legendary tale. Deion Sanders guides his son, and it's a controversy. The double standard ain't subtle; it's the whole damn stadium.
💸 The Players:
Jeff Ulbrich: Defensive coordinator whose job is to secure sensitive info — and failed.
Jax Ulbrich: 21, old enough to know better, young enough to be called a “kid” when he fucks up.
NFL & Falcons: Protecting insiders like they always do — fast with a press release, slow with accountability.
Shedeur Sanders: Young, Black, confident — and therefore, a target. Period.
🔁 The Pattern:
It's the same damn song, different verse. When we mess up, it's a reflection of our character, our upbringing, our race. When they mess up, it's a "youthful indiscretion," a "mistake," something to be "learned from."
This prank, orchestrated with information improperly accessed from a team official, is way more than a joke gone wrong. It's a potential breach of privacy and a display of how connections can shield you from accountability, while being Black and confident makes you a target.
📣 Kinfolk Need to Know:
This ain’t about no damn prank. It’s about power. It’s about how the league protects their sons while punishing our sons.
♻️ TRAP TALK: Screenshots That Slap
Viral quote:
"Unintentionally came across the draft contact phone number off an open iPad while visiting his parent's home." - The Falcons' statement.
Translation: "Our bad, kid got into daddy's toys. No harm, no foul. Y'all trippin'."
📊 Stat That Hits:
$10-15 MILLION: Estimated earnings gap between where Shedeur was projected (1st-2nd round) and where he was actually drafted (5th round).
🧾 Receipt That Flips It:
Remember when Johnny Manziel said he never studied his college playbook? Got drafted in the first round anyway, celebrated as a "playmaker." Shedeur gets dragged for rumored "bad interviews." The damn hypocrisy is loud enough to wake the ancestors.
🔨 DO SOMETHING – Today’s Move
✅ ACTION:
Call for the Falcons to formally discipline Jeff Ulbrich and the NFL to implement real data security standards around player information — especially during the damn Draft.
💬 Caption:
Post this in your fam group chat right now:
“They think it's a game till it's their info leaked. The NFL get serious about data security and stop giving passes to the connected while dragging our players!” #AccountabilityNow #NFLDoubleStandards
✊🏽 CULTURE REWIND – We Are Our Ancestors' Investment
🖼️ Memory:
Deion Sanders once said:
"If y'all can call him cocky, you better call me confident."
They hated him for it. They hate Shedeur for it now. Same playbook, different generation.
💼Spotlight:
Major salute to independent Black journalists and platforms who call balls and strikes, who ain't afraid to point out the bullshit and amplify the voices they try to silence. We the real MVPs.
🎤 Pull-Out Line:
"This ain’t about a prank call. It’s about who gets protected — and who gets played."
