DProfessor: Let me kick this one off. Pacman destroyed Miguel Cotto. That is three separate articles that say the same thing. Pacman walked Cotto down like he was the bigger man, like he was the bully....which he was. Cotto looked great, in great shape, was quick, had a game plan. But Pacquiao was that much better. Pacquiao had the strength and speed to make Cotto back up with crushing body blows and hooks to the dome. Cotto was outmatched and admitted so in the post fight like a man.
Ebizz: No need for comment you covered all basis on this one. Pacman numbers just in....
2. Who wins: Mayweather vs Pacquiao
Ebizz: I'm gonna still ride with Mayweather if they ever get into the ring. I'm not fully confident because they are both tough fighters. Comparing all the old fights does not always equate to how they will box versus each other. The only way to figure it out will be to have them get it on in!!!! Still, Mayweather has my vote.
DProfessor: The trickiest part of this equation is that Mayweather won't actually fight. IF he signs and IF he comes to the ring, he is going to dance his azz off like he was still on NBC (pic above). There is a time when a boxer does actually have to swing....this isn't the Olympics. Pop shotting and jabs shouldn't be able to win a fight. And that is saying that he lands due to the fact that Pacman maybe faster than he is. Floyd may be quicker, but Pacman is definitely the stronger fighter. Just look at the fights they had in common, Pacman disposed of Hatton earlier than Floyd and in more dramatic fashion. Let's not forget, Hatton won some rounds vs Floyd, it wasn't pure domination. And Oscar vs Floyd didn't hold a candle to Pacman making Oscar quit.
3. Who loses first: Colts or Saints?
DProfessor: Saints have a near cake walk to 16-0. Saints get Tampa, Pats, Washington, Atlanta, and Dallas in the next 5 games, with Tampa and Carolina to finish the season. If they make it past the Pats and Cowboys at home...hello Undefeated. Colts have a much harder schedule with Ravens, Houston, Tenn, Denver and Jax in next 5 games. Add in some injuries, inconsistent young wrs, and patchwork defense, I think this is a no brainer.
Ebizz: Not a no brainer. I do not consider this a cakewalk. There are alot of hungry teams in that NFC who are fighting for a playoff spot like Dallas, Atlanta, Carolina. In my opinion it can go to either one especially being that the Rams damn near beat the Saints.
4. Super Bowl Pics?
Ebizz: Minnesota and the N.O.---is that even possible? I love what the Colts got going on and those Bengals. holler back.
DProfessor: My NFC teams were originally Green Bay and Giants. That's not gonna happen. How about I roll with Arizona and Saints. AFC was New England and Ravens. Well...Pats might make it but the Ravens got old fast. I stick with Pats and Bengals. Super Bowl, I will stick with 4th and 2 Belicheck.
5. Surprise Teams:
DProfessor: You picked the Saints to surprise everybody this year. Here is your time to gloat about knowing more than me in the National Football League.
Ebizz: I wont gloat brother!!! But I will say TOLD U SO lol!!!!!!!!!
6. BCS Bullcrap
Ebizz: After you name off the few games Cinci and Boise St. played continue reading their schedule and you will see that the strength in schedule STILL does not match up. Cincinnati also has bums like SEMO on their list. What if Florida or Alabama played them? And the ACC is not even worth a mention outside of maybe two teams. Regardless of the matter, the teams are stationed in the proper ranking order because when it comes down to it. The small guys that you are representing will not will if they played Florida or Alabama. They need to stay in a little guys place where they are.
DProfessor: I know you think I am always fighting for the little man, but lets compare the tale of the tape. The fuss is that the smaller schools don't play anybody all year and then show up to the party and get blasted. How has that theory played out for Ohio St or Alabama for that matter. Florida and Alabama play just as many cupcakes as "good SEC teams". Florida played Charleston Southern, Troy and will play Florida Intl this week for non-conf games. Alabama has played a stiffer schedule with Va Tech, Florida Intl, North Texas and Chattanooga. Not exactly world beaters. Cincinnati played Oregon St, Fresno St and Illinois. TCU went to ACC country and beat Virginia and Clemson. Boise knocked out Oregon and also got Fresno St. The big boys are bailing out the small programs to boost their records but not their credibility. And staying in their place...Utah beat Joe Louis's azz (Alabama) badly in the bowl game.
7. Heisman?
Ebizz: Tebow all day.
DProfessor: Can we not award the Heisman and save it for next year like roll over minutes? By default, the trophy goes to Tebow or McCoy unless one or the other loses. How about some love for Dan LeFevour? He is Tebow 2.0 and will be a better pro. He has great numbers with 2500+ passing yards, 600+ rushing, and 36 total tds. He is the next Big Ben....watch for him.
8. From Italy with Love: Brandon Jennings
Ebizz: This dude is awesome. I admit the media forced my hand into not expecting much out of him, but that overseas trip seasoned him to come in like a veteran.
DProfessor: He dropped a double nickel vs Golden State (* for no defense) and a star is born. Clap for him. He is averaging 25ppg, 6 ass, 5 reb and is shooting a great percentage. The knock on him was that he couldn't shoot right? You don't hear the name Rubio too much anymore do you? Hands down Rookie of Year.
9.College Bball - Who is hot?Ebizz: Well, I love that Michigan State squad. Those guards are professional in how they handle things on the court with maturity. Louisville looks real nice. Look out for highlight reels from Peyton Siva, and St. Louis' own Jared Swopshire. Kentucky is full of talent that is awaiting to gel, and expect one and gone out of John Wall. Did you see him posterize Jerry Stackhouse this summer?? DAAAAMMMMNNNN
DProfessor: I dont know about this year, but UNC signed 3 of top 20 kids for next year. Shouldn't there be a cap on how many top 100 can sign with one school or another? I place the cap at 3. That is kind of like NCAA Free Agency. Teams can't sign all the top free agents in the league every year, so NCAA should feel some of that burn too. Let's face it, its not like they are going to school for the great dinners in the cafeteria.
10.Allen Iverson on the move
Ebizz: Word is that Iverson may be heading to either Miami or the Knicks. I say that Miami will be the better fit. This way DWade will be able to lighten up on the scoring load a little bit, and they are in desperate need of help at the guard position anyways. Iverson will be back on a team will playoffs contention as opposed to New York. The Knicks are not in need of Iverson they need a recking ball to take down Madison Square Garden and start from scratch. Hell, The St. Louis Rams need him at QB as well, but thats another topic for next week.
DProfessor: Is this the classic case of pampered athlete not realizing that is time is done? I love AI, always have but he is gonna out like a lightweight right now. Don't sign for the money and then say you want to win. Don't lie to yourself or nobody else that you "wanted" to be in Memphis. AI would have been better off to just hold out until December/January and let injuries or the swine flu take cats out the line up and come in and drop 30 like Earl Boykins. I liked the Miami deal before the season. Heat fans, quit lying to yourself and saying Mario Chalmers is your PG, he is just keeping the seat warm.
