Former Syracuse football player Tebucky Jones is getting his life (or at least a part of it) made into a movie.
Ice Cube will play Jones in "Tough Love" the story of Jones dropping off his three kids, Letesha, Tebucky Jr. and Malique (then 15, 12 and 9), at the Boys & Girls Club in New Britain, Connecticut (where Mrs. Poop used to work) for a heavy dose of inner-city reality, because he thought they were too soft.
Jones, himself grew up on the mean streets of New Britain, stealing food when he was hungry, rolling a drunk for $500 so he wouldn’t have to sleep outdoors, and getting evicted some 23 times.
Tebucky is only 32 now and his daughter is at least 16, so he had her when he was about 16, but he is married to her mother, the mother of the two boys as well.
I support any movie called Tough Love. The concept has promise. Maybe you can bring your child to the rough streets of staten island to teach them a lesson in the future.
