J.J. is a good friend of mine from my days at Lakewood Church. I talked to him recently about his dismissal, the whole Jack situation, and what he thought about the organization as a whole. Now, you must know a little something about J.J. Moses to truly appreciate a conversation with him. He’s the most upbeat person, never says a bad or negative word about anyone, when you’re with him people flock to him. Everyone loves J.J. I’ve witnessed it firsthand on too many occasions to count. Watch some videos if you need to see what I’m talking about. The guy leads by example. Other former players and Texan personnel that I’ve met all love the guy. He’s the kind of guy who’s very spiritual, very “religious” as some might call him, but never crams his beliefs down your throat. When things are bad in my life, he messages my wife and tells her he’s praying for me and he knows I’m a good man, that God has a plan for each and every one of our life’s and that everything will be better. But he never preaches to me. No matter what I post on Facebook (he and I are friends so he sees it all), he doesn’t message me and say “man brother you’re living wrong” or anything like that. He just believes and prays for you and let’s you be you. If you go to him for advice, there is no one better to talk to. If you’re in a bad place and you need a brother to talk to, he’s your guy.
Now, knowing that about J.J. Moses, he was fired because, according to BOB, he was “too positive” for the Texans and the NFL. That’s what Bill O’Brien told him when he was fired. He was too positive. How in the world does that make any sense?
Remember when those stories came out recently with Jack supposedly calling players and asking them to speak out in favor of him to the media? J.J. Told me that players were texting and calling him and saying Jack had hit them up and asked them to do it. What should they say? So they contacted J.J. A year after being fired Texans players were reaching out to J.J. For advice on how to handle this situation.
You know the funny part of all this - I gave J.J. every opportunity to badmouth Jack, BOB, or anyone else on Kirby. I threw softballs out there for him to get a reaction. Not one bad word about any of them. He stayed positive and wishes them all the best. I believe he knows he’s better now not being a part of that mess. He’s good friends with Andre Johnson, he said to look at what Andre said. Andre, the guy who never speaks, spoke out.
The Texans are THE biggest joke in professional sports right now. I wouldn’t spend 10 cents on any of their crappy games or merchandise now. It’s sad how far we’ve fallen as a franchise. We may have not always had the best teams or put the best people in position to win, but you could always at least feel like they were trying to do the “right” things, even if they screwed it up. Now days, they have lost all hope of doing things the right way. I am sure that JJ will land on his feet no matter what path he chooses (so will Amy).
