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

Back with SUPER 10

1. NFL - Superbowl Predictions
Ebizz: Black n yellow Black n yellow Black n yellow............ Crown em.....
DProfessor: Maybe they can get the Black Eye Peas to remix with Wiz because the crowd was showing him no love.


2. NFL MVP
Ebizz: Mr. Brady got that. Vick was a close second place. In fact I would give him most improved or something like that. but Brady put up some crazy numbers
DProfessor: Mr. Perfect Brady won the popularity contest. Vick didnt have enough games under his resume to compete. I guess Revis gets Defensive Player of Year. Rex Ryan wins FootLocker gift card.

3. NFL play of the year
DProfessor: Troy Polamolecules doing the Lambeau Leap over the Ravens offensive line. Dude is ridiculous. Surprisingly, his presence on the field makes all the difference. During the last two seasons, the Steelers are 17-4 when Polamalu plays but 5-7 when he doesn't. He missed 11 games last season with a pair of left knee injuries. Numbers don't lie, people do.

Ebizz: Marshawn Lynched a few saints when he assaulted that defense with a nasty stiff arm to top off the run. What a better time than the playoffs huh? I consider that payback for what happened to my Vikes last year.

4. Rookie of the year
DProfessor: The easy answer is Bradford. The Rams gave the young guy zero help in skilled positions. He should have been walking around with the Jay Cutler face on the sidelines. Honorable mention: Legarrette '50Tyson' Blount (Tampa Bay), McCourty (NE), of course Su.
Ebizz: Its hard to answer this because I really have no answer... maybe Bradford(Rams), Blount(Tampa Bay), of Su(Detroit) in any order.

5. Most disappointing NFL team this post season
Ebizz: First of all how do you get a name like Matty Ice and melt when the heat is on? Them Dirty Birds flew south but got that butt spanked in a place that was said to be the hardest place to win a game. yea right they proved that theory wrong.
DProfessor: The Patriots. Either the dynasty is ending or they are cursed. Havent won a game since the helmet catch.

6. NBA Rookie of the year so far
DProfessor: Let's see, Blake Griffin is on tv every night and his team couldn't stop a nose bleed. Blake Griffin is going to make All-Star team. Blake Griffin is going to win the Dunk Contest and complete first ever jump over the backboard dunk. Should I say more......
Ebizz: We should have just given it to Blake Griffin a long time ago. John Wall will be a great NBA player for years to come. He has proven that. He is still very young tryin to lead a franchise and that takes time. Griffin took a year off recovering from an injury and that has changed his life.......

7. Heat check....
Ebizz: They are who we thought they are... a great one on one team that has shown that they are cupcake in the middle, and if one of the big two goes down they resemble the Miami/Cavaliers of last year. But we will get a real chance to gauge how good they are towards the end of the season though. Oh yea... sux to be in Cleveland right about now
DProfessor: Teams currently with better record than Heat: Lakers, Spurs, Celtics, thats it. Of these 4 teams, the only surprise is Spurs. They are who we thought they were. Contenders.

8. Most surprising player so far in the NBA
DProfessor: Can you heard of this bama from Oklahoma named Blake Griffin? I didn't think he would be this exciting, but geez louise. He is a gazelle on fast break and has put up some double doubles like Kevin Love. All-Star.
Ebizz: Give Kevin the love he deserves. One of the few White boys out here showing that they still here lol... He is putting up some monster numbers that remind me of how he did things in UCLA. My boy Monte Ellis is consistently proving that he is an elite and slept on player as well. When they mention the best guards in the NBA it confuses me to see his name is never mentioned. Check the stats.









9. Most surprising team
Ebizz: New Orleans Hornets. A healthy Chris Paul can change a whole franchise.
DProfessor: Chicago. DRose is making some real noise for MVP.

10. Most overrrated team
Ebizz: Those New York Knicks. They got off to a great start but are slowly coming back down to earth. They are proving they need Carmelo this season. Obviously the guys around Amare are good, but not great which makes them replaceable. They need alot more consistency, which is what Melo brings.
DProfessor: Orlando. Sure they updated their roster and got rid of some dead weight. But does that jump them in front of Miami or Boston, or Chicago. Neahhhh.

If your NBA team cant even reach the playoffs, you need to study the game more and like e-40 told Rasheed Wallace, " stick to basketball nicca"

10 Spot: Cleveland Playing LeBron, I'm Taking DWade

1.Braylon Edwards Vs King James?
Ebizz: Well if the story is true about Braylon knocking out a lightweight, I say he is pop-tart like. He is also a chump on the field as well... Being that people say that whatever sport Lebron plays in he will be a dominant figure, i see no reason why that should change in a fight with Braylon??? What u think D?
DProfessor: Is it me or do I smell a woman's perfume being involved with this down the road. These cats are both rich, no worries in the world, so....all fingers point to some booty or stinky weed. I am going with the booty angle. Maybe Braylon should focus on catching the ball, stinking up my fantasy team. Maybe Cleveland aint big enough for the both of them....lol

NEWSFLASH - Braylon traded to the Jets.

2. What is your most memorable NFL moment you hated to see??
Ebizz: I remember Antonio Freeman catching a ball with his back against my Vikings...I still have nightmares about that play to this day.
DProfessor: The worst coaching performance by a coach in the Super Bowl when Marshall Faulk didn't run the ball all over New England. Thanks Mike Martz, Thanks alot.


3. Tom Cable: Assault or Bully??
DProfessor: Tom Cable is childish. He needs to fire off on Jamarcus Russell and his 42.4 qb rating for wasting the #1 pick. Somebody needs to pull the chair from Al Davis before this gets out of hand.
Ebizz: This man is big and scary hovering over that damn sideline!! I say go out and play offensive line for the Raiders. You have all that emotion in you that you pull a Braylon in the office??? Besides after another horrific season, he may be looking for another job soon.



4.Brady: Crying to the Refs?
DProfessor: At least the Ravens were NOT fined for speaking their minds. The NFL has to address their issues protecting the qb. Too many defensive players are pulling up unnecessarily to not lay these guys out in fear of losing money to fines or penalties. And the announcers need to get off their high horse in establishing what is clean and dirty. They sound like protective parents watching the game sometimes. This is FOOTBALL!!!!
Ebizz: The ref is there for a reason. Hell, you even get your own penalties Brady. They protecting this baby too much. Take the pacifier out your mouth and play ball!!! And you know the NFL has too keep them a darling QB which happens to be Brady. It is hurting the game big time.

5.Who will win a game first the Rams or the Titans??
Ebizz: I will go with the Titans by default. They are a better team than the Rams and have no reason being winless at this point. They both have tough games but alot tougher for the the Titans, even though Minnesota will be in the Lou this upcoming week. From there they get the Lions which may not be an easy go anymore now huh?? Titans gets Pitt and the Ravens here soon.......A real head scratcher.
DProfessor: The Rams might be heading into week 11 winless. They get Arizona and Seattle at home in back to back weeks. The defense hasn't looked that bad so maybe they can get some pressure on the qb's and just hold on to an ugly win. Tennessee gets some teams that they can run on in Indy, Jax, New England, Buffalo and Houston before they get the Rams in week 14. Tennessee by default.

6. When Does Vince Young Get a Chance?
EBizz: It boils down to if Vince Young is their future or not. If he is not in their by week 8 and they still losing, Young needs to call some real estate agents out of Nashville.
DProfessor: Isn't this the same scenario that happened when Young first came in the league? The Titans started out 0-5 in 2006 only for Young to lead the team into the playoffs. What's the difference between that team and this one....well this one has more talent. If you recall, that was the year Fat Albert stomped on the Cowboys face, maybe the team rallied around that. But Johnson is definitely an upgrade from Travis "Big Daddy" Henry.

7. Who's the better Manning?
DProfessor: One super bowl apiece, Peyton has won MVP 2x, Eli stuck it to the Patriots big time for big brother, ughhh....can I push? Eli is about 5 years younger than Peyton and has really turned it on the last 2 years. I think Peyton has about 3-4 more good years in him before he turns Favre on us.
EBizz: Eli is the truth but Peyton is on fire right now. Can we open back up the debate of who is better...Brady or Manning?

8. Crabtree FINALLY Signs?
EBizz: This is not a big deal. He still has to play his butt off to reach the incentives of year 5 and 6. Now every time somebody doesn't get drafted they are going to cry about where they should have went? Just play ball, let that speak for itself.
DProfessor: Is this a big deal...I say yes. The 49ers have already won the NFC Junior Varsity division of the West. Crabtree might be that piece they need come week 14 and definitely into the playoffs that gives them a legitimate deep threat. You can't depend on Reverend Ike Bruce to carry you to the Super Bowl.

9. Should LeGarrette Blount be Reinstated?
Ebizz: I say let him come back definitely! So much emotion goes into these games that one way or the other they will come out. The punishment should have been that Hout had access to the campus for the rest of the season so he can creep on Blount while leaving class one day to get him back with a taste of his own medicine.
DProfessor: Piyahhhhh. That would be funny as hell. Kinda like this....(See video below)


10. Missouri vs Nebraska?
EBizz: Why can't they have a cooler name than the Victory Bell? I'll take the Tigers by 17. Do it BIG!!!
DProfessor: This is the second oldest football rivalry in the Big 12 Conference and third oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi River (Wikipedia) and only the 2nd time in the last 10 years in which both schools were ranked in top 25. Anyhooo....GO TIGERS!!!
