Road Test Disappointing 10

1. Mayweather vs Ortiz

EBizz: This another waist of money for the ones who went the Pay Per View route. There was actually a decent fight taking place. At least up until Ortiz lost his cool with the headbutt. He was penalized and all by the ref, but you know Floyd had to have the last laugh.In a fight Mayweather was winning , I dont see the reason for taking a cheap shot like that.... No one ever thought that this would be an upset, just wanted a good fight.

DProfessor: Let me start by saying Ortiz is a bum too, he deserved to get knocked out, but a traditional knockout would have been my preference. I guess it was a decent fight before all the drama. But I'm with you, unless it says Pacquiao vs Mayweather, Mayweather is off my "to do" list (no homo). Unlike Pacman, Mayweather has to either wait til you get old or wait til the ref is not looking to knock somebody out. I think we are all in agreement that this guy is and has been running from Pac for a while now. I know black folks feel like he undefeated, but this aint football or basketball where they make the schedule a year before, this is a pick who you fight sport. Unlike the UFC where you have to fight the best (google Anderson Silva), boxing is so watered down now that we as consumers are desperate to see a good fight that we have to resort to taking what this bum gives us. But that was the last straw.

2. Who's to Blame: Mayweather or the Ref?

EBizz: I blame the ref. You cant give blame to someone who acts within the rules really. I never was a big fan of Mayweather but always had much respect for his elite skill set. and I think that he was janky for that, but its not the first time he pulled off a move similar to that one.

this was my reaction after the knock down

DProfessor: I will push and say both. The Ref was ready to get back to the hotel so he could watch In The Heat of the Night and Mayweather was ready to go fight his baby momma new boyfriend at Club Pure in Caesars. But it was a low class sucker punch, well deserved sucker punch but cheap shot nonetheless. That was typical Negro tactics though, how many WSHH videos do you see Katt Williams walking around after the fight like he was Hollywood Cole? This is the culture somehow that we live in where the person that starts the fight or gets the knockout shot is the person that had the least amount to do with the fight to begin with. Call me old school, but Floyd should have beat his ass for real in the course of the fight.

3. Fight of Century? Will it Happen?

EBizz: This is perfect opportunity for the fight we all been waiting for...If not whats the point?

DProfessor: I wouldnt bet a wooden nickel at an Amish Parade to benefit the Sisters of the Blind while saving Cancer and contributing to the building fund of the New Ebenezer Spiritual Church of God in Christ New Tabernacle of Christian Advocates of Latter Day Saints. In other words, not a chance. Only thing Floyd runs more than his mouth is running faster away from Pacman. IF.....if....he wants to be considered GOAT which he thinks he is, he has to make this fight happen. Maybe Pac will dress up like Larry Merchant and tell Floyd how he would "KICK HIS AZZ".

4. Better Game: Cam or Brady?

EBizz: Cam was impressive he proved alot of his haters wrong with his accuracy and yards thrown, but Brady had the better game, they won... and Brady is still breaking records this late in his career. What more can you say?

DProfessor: Can I push again? Brady had 520 yds or something crazy like that and Cam went HAM on one of the worst defenses in a losing effort in his 1st NFL game. I was more impressed with Cam because thanks to the NFL Package, I watched the game. Cam was poised in the pocket, wasn't looking to run and he was letting that ball rip. He had a few throws he wished he had back, but hell so does Peyton Manning and everybody in the league not named Brady. Brady has reached 2Pac status for me. He is in a class of his own. As much as I love the qb formerly known as Peyton Manning, he is no Tom Brady.

5. Surprise Game of Week

EBizz: The Redskins game. The Giants came out with a ot to prove this year and did nothing but loss to a Rex Grossman-led offense. That should never happen. I was shocked by the Steelers getting worked by the Raven like that also.

DProfessor: Anyone happen to catch the Steelers vs Ravens? I was on the record for calling the Ravens the aging team (on defense) but Reed and Lewis must sleep in hyperbarack chambers and not age. They are like Crown and Coke, never a bad combination.

6. Who needs to Bounce Back?

EBizz: The Saints need to Bounce Back. They went from winning a Superbowl two years ago to not making the playoffs last year. Where did all the swag go?

DProfessor: Between Atlanta who is playing Vick, McNabb who had 39 yards and the Steelers who got embarrassed, my money is on McNabb. They played a good team in San Diego but the Vikings Offense was anemic. They shouldn't drafted Dez Bryant or Julio Jones or somebody bc they are playing 13 in the box against Peterson.

7. Best conference NFC North vs AFC East?

EBizz: NFC North. If the Vikings can find a way to get it together that would be a division full of solid teams. You cannot take a day off up there... AFC East still has a few teams that Id like to show me a few things before I am all the way sold....

DProfessor: NFC North has one possible dog in Vikes and one possible pretender in the Bears. But I think the Bears are for real, cant account for that weather and improved offense, but the Bears did win the division last year. For the AFC East, same thing dog of Miami and pretender of Buffalo. I like Buffalo too, good young team, tough weather and good special teams like the Bears. I think the Super Bowl runs through these two divisions.

8. Jr Smith signs deal with league in China

EBizz: This is gone be a trend if the lockout does end soon. It already fucked up 2k12 (no rookies). Im sure somehow this will find a way to affect more aspects of my life as well. smdh....

DProfessor: Cant really blame him. Too bad they gonna tell him what all those tats really mean in Chinese.

9. Syracuse and Pitt to ACC

EBizz: I think it will add some balance to whole basketball equation. There are so many good teams in the Big East and so many that suck in the ACC.

DProfessor: Definitely a good move for basketball. I dont think ACC matters in football really anymore anyway. But this takes 2 teams out of the Big East basketball megahouse and lets them not beat themselves up as much during the season. Look for the Big East and ACC to make even more Final 4s now. WATCH.

10. Next Megaconference?

DProfessor: Why dont all the have nots get together and do something? Get Notre Dame, whats left of the Big 12, Army Navy, grab whats left of Big East and get 16 teams out of that joker.

EBizz: Im just gone agree with you.That is a great idea... I dont know what direction things are heading with all of the moves that are already taking place

Jumping Jack Flash

1. Biggest surprise to start College Football Season?

EBizz: The biggest surprise is that I did NOT watch any game other than Notre Dame and USF, and for anybody else who tuned in you know why... The game was an all day event with the thunder and such. How about my guys! Way to start off the season Bulldogs.

DProfessor: I agree that USF vs ND was a marathon rain delay. The game had a 3 hr rain delay in itself. I liked how Baylor and TCU lit up the scoreboard like a game of NCAA 12. Back and forth, forth and back. They had it going. 

2. Bigger Upset: Notre Dame or TCU?

EBizz: Notre Dame. Obviously they are the bigger market, and obviously they've sucked for the last two years. With that being said, all of the coaching changes and overhauls they put in place it has not helped the on-field side of things for these guys.

DProfessor: Notre Dame shouldnt count anymore. How did they sneak into the top 25? Did Rocket Ismael come back? Joe Montana? Notre Dame will not win until they unleash the black athlete. They need a Denard Robinson or Robert Griffin III.

3. Look out for ........ in NFL this year?

EBizz: Cleveland Browns... I know this can be a reach... but why not? Peyton Hillis is a beast and I believe Colt McCoy can develop into a very solid qb in the league. *****On a side note, everyone speaks about the Texans yearly, and all the talent/ potential they have. Yet they find a way to fall short year after year, so I say if they fail again this year, everyone should give up on them

DProfessor: Of course everybody is saying Detroit. I am going to hold out on them. I am going to say Miami. Offense looks a little better, but their defense is quietly a beast. Are we sure the Patriots are who they used to be? And Dirty Sanchez isnt really a franchise qb is he? I"m just saying, the East maybe more wide open than people think. 

4. MVP will be.....

EBizz: Way to early for these sort of predictions but here goes nothing...  My MVP choices are between Matty Ice, Big Ben, and Adrian Peterson

DProfessor: Yeah too early. How about Matt Stafford? They should give him the award if he plays more than 12 games. At this point though, isn't it Mike Vick's to lose.

5. Super Bowl Champs?

EBizz: My pick at this point in time has to be between the Philly Eagles, Steelers or The Pats. They both (eagles, pats) made more than a few off season moves to put themselves in prime position to win it all. 

DProfessor: I too like the Eagles and Steelers. I think Ocho and Haynesworth may be hiding a glaring hole for the pats, that they are aging fast. And then they cut Brandon Merriweather too? I dont get it.

6. Biggest Bust in NFL?

EBizz: Vince Young, Cincinnati Bengals as a Franchise, 

DProfessor: Detox the album. Never gonna happen. 

7. Fantasy Breakout Player

EBizz: Reggie Bush. He did not shine as much in the Saints offense, but he should have more of a focal point in the Dolphins offense. I see him as a better fit with that style of trickery offense they present. How about Kevin Kolb. He has Fitz on his side now which always makes for booming stats.....

DProfessor: Can I pick a defense and say Detroit is going to lead the league in most penalties for excessive roughness and migraines for qbs? On the offensive side, lets go with Joe Flacco. 

8. From worst to first?

EBizz: Detroit Lions. Maybe they will at least take the place of Texans as the team people say to look out for year in and out for a while. All the pieces are in place for them on offense and defense. Now its just time to ball out, even though they are in one of the toughest divisions in football.

DProfessor: Tennessee. Believe it or not, they were 6-10 last year. The AFC South is about as open as Amber Rose on that purple drank. No Manning, Jax is all messed up, and Houston, well is Houston. 

9. NBA Lockout will end......

EBizz: Hopefully soon so them boys can get into the "preseason groove" and get some off season moves going. Im tired of seeing NBA elites playing in your local gym against a big group of nobodys. 

DProfessor: I saw KG playing in the Bonner League I swear. 

10. Summer League MVP ....

EBizz: Kobe, if I had to pick from what Ive seen. What ankle injury??  And its becoming a theme for Lebron to get dunked on every summer now huh lol. Even though it was an exhibition game, the moves that Durant put on this guy in the most recent game they played were sick sick sick. Brandon Jennings is getting a better Ive noticed.. but overall this is a question I cannot answer because I havent paid much attention to these scrimmages. 

DProfessor: I heard Kobe stole the Dirk One Leg Up Jumper. Gotta give it to Kobes, it may not be news to most but he is the hardest working man in the league. If those knees can hold up for about 5-6 more years, he will be looking for the all-time leader in points.

Take that monkey shit off award goes to....
