Vikings vs. Cowboys
Ebizz: I gotta go with my guys and the Purple Pride. Brett is on a mission and I think this is his time to shine. The Romo Boys are gonna follow the same game plan they always have. That is disappoint those who have been looking for success since Emmitt. LOL.
DProfessor: How bout them Cowboys? There are only 2 teams left in the playoffs that are run first, Jets and Cowboys. Isn't it sad that the Vikings don't fall in that list with the 2nd best running back in the game? That being said, the Vikes have what it takes to stop the run in the Williams Wall. I go Vikes 27 Boys 21.
Saints vs. Cardinals
DProfessor: If this game were on Sunday, it would be a no brainer. Kurt Warner and Jesus must be distant cousins because he is the man on Sundays. I think the Saints started to fall apart late in the season and teams allowed them to throw the ball in between the 20's. I think the game is another shootout like last week. Cards 45 Saints 35.
Ebizz: Kurt Warner is amazing this time of year no matter how bad he may have played up to this point. It is very very hard to best against the man in circumstances like this one.
Jets vs. Chargers
Ebizz: This is a very very uncomfortable decision to make, but I would want to say that whoever wins this game, I may have to write a ticket to the big game. The problem is, my gut says to go with the Jets, but stats say go with the Chargers.....I will say the Jets because of that win last week to get into the playoffs. I feel they are one of the most confident teams in the league and that goes a long way.
DProfessor: I want the Jets to win due to my disdain (hate) of the Chargers. Especially after LT puts out crazy vids like this.
Colts vs. Ravens
DProfessor: Are we sure that the Patriots were any good last week? The weakness in the Ravens is pass defense, which happens to be Peyton Manning's favorite subject. The questions about stopping the run for the Colts seemed to have been answered and the Ravens definitely don't want to fall behind too fast with a QB that only completed 4 passes last week.
Ebizz: Derrick said is best with Manning for President. He is not real by any stretch of the imagination. Ravens do have an extraordinary running game, but offensively, that is all. Manning all day.
Lane Kiffin to USC
Ebizz: My only question is WHY??? has he even proven to be a worthy candidate to replace Carroll? The has to be some other motives beyond his coaching that got him this job. Bad move
DProfessor: Well its not like their where going to hire a black coach, they still mad at Juice Simpson.
Another Coach fired for motivating his player too harshly
DProfessor: Are coaches getting tough or players (and their parents) getting soft? I have seen some little league coaches tear into kids tougher than some of these instances.
Ebizz: C'mon Son!! This is like a domino affect going on. My only question is who is next on the list to get the axe.
Gilbert "gun-totting" Arenas
Ebizz: Again a player used as the fall guy (Mike Vick) to set an example. He mad a very dumb decision and deserves a punishment. The whole season without pay is a little bit too harsh, especially when you take into consideration other players who've mad dumb decisions that didn't cost them a whole season. Steven Jackson outside a nightclub letting off rounds, LaGarrett Blount, and I am sure there are more we could list here.
DProfessor: This does seem very Vickesque. Player did something stupid and tried to cover up the dirt. Check. League doesn't think player is worthy of salary or recognition they recieve. Check. Commish wants to let the league know who is boss before labor deals expire. Check. And now....Gilbert charged with felony.
Heisman Candidates for next season?
Ebizz: Only person who comes to mind so far is Terrell Pryor. This will be his junior year and I believe he is ready to show that he is a great quarterback. Injuries have slowed his progression down, but yet and still, he has proved that he has excellent awareness and athletic abilities that set him apart from other college players. This will be his season!
DProfessor: Since you have to be a white quarterback to be the early favorite, or best player on the best team to win....How about Jeremiah Masoli from the Oregon Ducks? The Pac 10 has to be up in the air after all the shakeups and Ducks finished strong. Oregon runs the spread so the rushing and passing numbers should be there. Plus the Ducks can make statement games vs USC and Washington next year.
College Hoops anyone??
Ebizz: There are a lot of entertaining athletes in college bball that will make sure to destroy a lot of brackets this year. Some of the players that are balling are Dominique Jones of USF is damn near amazing on the court and a big time sleeper but his team is lacking. Austin Freeman of G'Town is big time, and also Demarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe of Kentucky.
DProfessor: How about those Missouri Tigers winning 30 in a row at home with Mike Anderson? 40 minutes of hell is something to be reckoned with.
Remember ME
Ebizz: How about taking time out to remember some athletes that kind of dissapeared.....what ever happened to Kerry Kittles? How about Ron Mercer? God Shammgod, a Bullets benchwarmer and hero of the University of Providence. How about Mr. Marvin Harrison? Where are you?????lol
DProfessor: What about Stephen A. Smith? Harold Miner? Miles Simon? J-Will from Duke? Send us a tweet or something.
