10 Spot: NFL Week 1 and Other Crap



1. Michael "Hall of Fame" Jordan - was his acceptance speech blown out of proportion, or was he out of line?
Ebizz: Mike is the best the game has had and that should be enough to exclude him from anything negative...Frankly, who will care years from now?? He held up his responsibility as a dominating force in basketball....lets remember him for that.....
DProfessor: People are making a big deal because Mike didn't "play ball" or "give the company line"....You know what...the hell with them. Mike let his hair down, had the crowd going, and even aired a little dirty laundry. Now if Mike went up there and thanked Jerry Krause for breaking up the biggest dynasty since the Celtics, how would that have shaked out? Props to MJ23 for being real, not real stupid like Kanye.

**Side Note** - Mr. Obama please remember that you can not ham it up with the boys in between takes with a microphone in the room. You are the POTUS. You are not one of the regular guys anymore. Everything you say or do will be held against you in the court of public opinion. Thanks for telling it how it iz....but...only talk like that in the shower.

2. Serena Williams outburst - was what Serena did blown out of proportion?
Ebizz: Hell no it was not blown out of proportion far enough. Serena's thick and strong self was looking real intimidating when she let off that tirade. If athletes are not going to be punished for their actions then it will only get worse really soon. You will see.....
DProfessor: E...don't trust a big butt and a smile sometimes. Serena was wrong and totally wrong. She did everything to that lady except drop the racket and say "Let's get in on right now MF!" I...like every other straight man love Serena and her assets, but she wrong for that one.


3. Donovan McNabb injured - is it the Eagles or Donovan McNabb who is blame for the Eagles having many opportunities year after year but never come through??
Ebizz: Mr. Professor you can answer this one hopefully better than me because I don't really know ow to answer this....If I had to pick, I would blame it on mostly the Eagles and maybe 25% on McNabb because someone has to lead his team to victory. Yet, in the players defense there are significant player changes throughout the years (Jeff Garcia, T.O., etc.)???????
DProfeesor: Is this the same McNabb that pulled up tired in the Super Bowl? Sorry to say it but that was his best shot. The Eagles are still not good in short yardage and don't have a physical receiver that can make those tough plays. They have a ton of speed, but they are not a dome team. It is unfortunate McNabb got cracked running for a TD but he will be back in time to prove his worth.

4. Vicks Impact on the Eagles
Ebizz: Unless Vick all of a sudden has the arm strength he had about 2 years ago and speed to match, I see him struggling this year and may become an impact player next year. He still has a ways to go before being ready, in my opinion. May I also mention that curse I think the Eagles are under???
DProfessor: No curse, it's just the NFL. As far as Vick, he still needs to shed that baby weight he added in the joint. The arm strength was never the problem it was the decision making. He can't be Terrelle Pryor and take off running. Ouch...sorry Buckeye nation.

5. Who would be your number one pick in next years draft?
Ebizz: Easy - Dez Bryant would be my pick. He is a big strong receiver with ridiculous speed. Not to mention how he carved right through Georgia's tough defense to start off the year. That's my pick!!
DProfessor: Too easy, LaGarrette Blount. The kid packs a punch and plays with a ferocious tenacity. He is tough as nails, will have fresh legs and is NFL ready. I like Bryant too if you like tall fast and talented receivers who can also return kicks. If thats' what you are into.

6. Bonehead play of the week...Cincy Defense or McKelvin Kickoff?
Ebizz: Hands down, both of them.
DProfessor: McKelvin, only because he said he would do it again. "Next time I get the opportunity, I am going to hold on and make a better decision," he said. Let's be real, he just said that he would rather try to make a play versus taking the sure W. The better decision is to not take the ball out, he is saying he has zero faith in his offense to seal the game. Fool me once, its on me, fool me twice....

7. Suprise team of week one??
Ebizz: The team that showed me more than I thought they would was the New York Jets. Sanchez showed that he is a product of USC and why they won all those games while he was in college. I saw poise and great awareness that is usually not an aspect of a Rookie on display against the Texans.
DProfessor: It would have been the Bills, but how about the 49ers? They beat a hobbled Cardinals team but a W is a W. They stayed committed to a run game that produced 25 carries for 21 yards. They just got it done. Hats off to Singletary.

8. Overrated player of the week...Drew Brees or Tom Brady?
Ebizz: Brees threw 6 tds...what are you saying?
DProfessor: True but 6tds versus the Lions is like beating your 10 year old nephew in basketball. Unless he is 6'2 with good feet, it is pretty unfair.


9. Allen Iverson to the Grizzlies?
Ebizz: I say great move for Memphis. They can make a push to bring in some fans to save their franchise and also attempt to win 40 games this year. A seasoned veteran in a young nucleus cant hurt as well too. I see Iverson coming in and taking youngsters such as OJ Mayo and Rudy under his wing and showing them some things that will benefit them in the long run.
DProfessor: Practice...we talking about Practice? Well I say AI would have better served the Heat back court. DWade is the only person on that team that can score. Sure, AI is not Glen Rice and doesn't sit in the corner for the knockdown 3, but he isn't Eric Snow either. Memphis may surprise some teams if they play an uptempo style and get those young guards out in space. The NBA version of the Spread attack.


10. Madden Curse - do you believe?
Ebizz: Polumalu out...Fitzgerald...I dunno.
DProfessor: (Crossing fingers) I do have Fitz on fantasy team. No comment.
