Superbowl Hangover.....

1.Superbowl Game Reaction
Ebizz: This game didnt seem to have the same hype around it as other previous Superbowls. This game represents the ultimate payoff for a season of hard work. It also is the time when fake sports fans come out and claim a team they havent watched all year. With that being said, there was excitement built up in this game. Big Ben had a chance to write his legacy but Rodgers had other plans. Very exciting but not one of my favorite Superbowls. I also say that even though Big Ben could not pull this one off. He is still very young and will win multiple more before him and Tomlin split.
DProfessor: One thing stands out about the game.....Turnovers and injuries. Players were dropping like flies. Big Ben learned a tough lesson last night....No Means No. One question to all offensive coordinators and coaches and quarterbacks, since when is the logic NOT to throw the ball to your best receiver in critical downs? Like every other Madden playing man, its 3rd and 4th down, you know just like I know where the ball is going...MY BEST RECEIVER!!!! After all the turnovers and dumb calls, the Steelers still had a chance to win at the end. But in the end, I guess the best team won the Championship. Give Rodgers his belt.
2.Superbowl Commercials
Ebizz: Honestly I dont remember to many commercials because of how lit I was.... But the ones that stuck to my brain were the long overdue Eminem commercials. Very tastefully done. Also the Kim Kardashian sketchers commercial was beautiful.
DProfessor: The Doritos commercial were dude sucked on another man's hands.....homo. But hilarious.
3.Longer NFL Season
DProfessor: Did you see the Super Bowl? 7-8 players were carried off the field, not to mention the 3 or 4 that didnt even get to play due to existing injury. And the teams would have played 2 extra games. I doesnt add up. Average NFL skill position player (RB, WR, etc) lasts about 4 years in the league. That is one big contract if they lucky. I dont agree, but you better get that money or somebody else will.
Ebizz: I do not agree with such a move. The average NFL career is not long as it is. This will in fact shorten them even more.

4.Boston vs. Orlando on Superbowl Sunday
Ebizz: I would have thought this was the football game with all the hard hits and falls that occurred in this game. Crazily this was the best part of the game. Everything as I predicted took place: Orlando got of to a hot start and ran out of three point fire power. They have to address their Big man issues immediately. D Howard cannot do it all alone. He was very impressive in this game. Boston is sure ready to make a run at another chip this year.
DProfessor: Can we pencil in Bulls, Celtics, and Heat in the Eastern Conf Championship? These are the only real contenders right now. Sad part about the Magic, THIS is their biggest headline. She must be shopping for a TV deal too.

5.New NBA technical foul rules
Ebizz: Every technical foul is a $1000 fine. With every one added means you add another $1000 to the fine until suspensions take place. This is the DUMBEST thing that could have been added to the game with all the issues currently leaning over the NBA. These guys have been playing ball their whole life and now you want them to boggle emotions, even as the refs screw them over. Dwight Howard is a great example of this crap rule. Every reaction he makes warrants a technical foul. This gives no room for reaction and is stupidity.Old school or not the rule is horrible.
DProfessor: As much as I hate the rule, I wish they gave more technicals at younger ages. Kids nowadays thick they are in the NBA in 6th grade and have to argue with the ref. Consider me old school on this one, I dont want them to take the emotion out of the game, but I want to stop it earlier. I like the rule, I dont like the enforcement sometimes.



6.Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttlesworth soon-to-be all-time 3point leader
DProfessor: Allen can improve on his total of 2,557 at Charlotte on Monday night....so in other words he is popping bottles Monday night. The video explains the Sweet Stroke of Coney Island's Jesus...no homo.
Ebizz: There is no green in my genes, but I recognize greatness when I see it. The best shooting form I have ever seen. His hard work since the Uconn days has kept him relevant. Congrats in advance.

7. Big Baby Davis Teaches Us how to Dougie and Brandon Jennings is just as GAY-GA
Ebizz: I know that homosexuality has made its way into the hip hop industry, but these two fruit cakes have proven that the NBA is being polluted with this gay shit as well. These are supposed to be grown ass men, i thought...........
DProfessor: In no way shape or form does the opinions of EBizz and his homophobia suggest or encourage the acts of these young fruit cake dances that are currently displayed on youtube if you type in the aforementioned names or simply Dougie. I ask you this, whats worse: the sweet dances or the jeggings?

8.Herschel Walker NFL return?
Ebizz Sounds good. At least for now. I would hate to see this senior citizen go head up with the likes of a Terrell Suggs. That may end his whole life!
DProfessor: Dead......at last comment
9.Best NCAA Bball conference
Ebizz: Still gotta go with that Big East. From top to bottom very competitive play every night. Second would have to be the Big 12, even though a couple of their best are having a down year. The Big 12 usually emerges around March.
DProfessor: I'm going to take the field. This year is anybody's year. I'm never sold on the Big East. Every year we hear how great they are until March when they can't make it past spring break. Last 10 years, Big East has made it to the Championship twice, they won both. ACC has made it 6 times and won four times. Best conference doesn't mean anything to me.

10. Should NCAA Bball start the season later?
Ebizz: I heard Dickie V talking about this. I say it is a great idea. The season is more than half way done and all we hear about are standout athletes and Duke. A lot of players and teams go unnoticed because of the lack of shine college basketball gets during this time period. Their season is overshadowed by the end of the NFL season and the NBA. If a later season start were to happen, we would not have March Madness anymore but that would only be a small issue.
DProfessor: Why do people want to move everything now? If NCAA lost March Madness, and moved it to April, I would never watch another college bball game. Just like people wanted to kick Seattle out the playoffs for not having a winning record until they b!tchslapped New Orleans back to Gulf.

Ebizz: The Question was for the best not worst.

NFL 2008 Projections - AFC Edition

The AFC is supposed to be the Varsity team versus the NFC which is JV. Since 1998, the NFC wins the Super Bowl once every five years. The Giants ushered in what should be the once in this set of five years, but I think it is time for a new streak to form. In the same manner that most NFC teams beat up on each other all year and lose the big game, it is time for the AFC to hit the wall. The teams are getting better and all of the 'cupcake' games are out of the window. Here is how I see the AFC shaking out this year, underperforming.


AFC East
1. New England - How is it that the team that nearly went undefeated last year gets the easiest schedule in the world out of the gate? Granted, most of the opponents are division foes, but then to get the NFC West? The Pats however will be shot down to reality this year amassing at best 11 wins. The defense is not only getting old, but getting worse. The only bright spot is Mayo, the rookie from Tennessee. Brady's foot "injury" wont be a problem.
2. Buffalo - The Bills take the next step. No, not the playoffs. They will compete in the East and miss out with a winning record. There are a lot of key components that are one year away for the Bills. Young receivers Hardy, Evans, Parrish, and Reid are still learning. Hardy will be a TD machine with his 6-6 frame and Evans showed he can stretch the field when healthy. QB Edwards has been banged up but will be fine as long as Lynch is in the backfield. Bills peak at 9 wins.
3. New York Jets - J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets are better. Sure they have Brett Favre. Sure the Offensive line is better. Sure they can win some games. They play 2 different style teams their first 5 games - Air it out in Seattle and Cardinals versus Smashmouth - Oakland, Jax, and Rams. They are in fight with Bills for 2nd place in the division. My nod goes to Bills, not the Mangenius.
4. Miami - Can you smell upset potential? I can. The Fins have two pro-bowl caliber backs once Ronnie Brown returns to form. That probably wont be until October and by then Ricky Williams will be hurt. Ted Ginn Jr takes the sophmore leap to becoming a potential deep threat and Chad Pennington guides this team to 6-10. Not bad after losing Jason Taylor.

AFC South
1. Indianapolis - Tricked ya. Still got the Colts on top. Peyton Manning's knee will be the focal point on this team for the first 3 weeks or so until he hits his stride. Marvin Harrison is back, Anthony Gonzalez is the new Brandon Stokely, and Reggis Wayne is Reggie Wayne. Don't expect the Colts to cruise as this is probably the 2nd best division in football with the NFC East. Bob Sanders makes an impact when he is on the field, but he wont make it more than 3 more years in the league with his style of play.
2. Jacksonville - Still second fiddle in the South, Jacksonville is no slouch but at the same time, no surprise. Jacksonville was one tragedy away from overtaking the Colts this year. With Peyton Manning nursing a gimpy leg, the Jags could capitalize off their pass rush and ball control offense were set to overtake the division crown that lives in Indy. Jaguars still need a big play WR to keep the defenses guessing.
3. Houston - The Texans are coming. The Texans are coming. They are this year's Titans. They could possibly sneak into the playoff mix with a healthy Schaub to Johnson combo. Super Mario Williams is a sack artist and is getting help on defense with Okoye and Ryans. The problem with this team despite no running back, is the health of Schaub and Johnson, more importantly Johnson.
4. Tennessee - Titans fall into the same trap as the New York Giants this year. You can have a solid team and still fall to last in your division at 8-8 or 7-9. The only problem that Tennessee has is an inability to put anyone outside the hash marks at WR. They drafted a trailblazer in Chris Johnson, but unless he is going to line up at flanker on 3rd down, its going to be hard to keep the defense off of Vince Young.

AFC West
1. San Diego - When your best players on both sides of the ball are playing with bum knees, its hard to pick them as the division winner right? Fortunately for the Chargers, it seems like they caught the entire division retooling. LT will be back to form, he has 2-3 more years of dominance before he pulls a Barry Sanders and walks away. Merriman is going to attempt to play on one leg in a position where he plays on pure speed. That is like Usain Bolt trying to run the 100m with a walking boot on his foot. Good luck Lights Out, but you are making a big gamble.
2a. Oakland - I like the running game. Not too many people talk about Justin Fargas, but it will be his running that will be why McFadden wins Rookie of the Year if he does. Fargas is actually listed as the pseudo starter, somewhat like Julius Jones in Dallas the last few years over Marion Barber. Fargas was actually the leading act at USC before the Reggie Bush show arrived. This running game will be aided greatly by a great defense and also anything Jamarcus Russell can do in play action.
2b. Denver - This team is tricky to figure out. They have two of the best corners in the game, a good young QB, a great young WR, and a running scheme that has caught on like the Plague. Two questions still remain: Why can't they stop the run? Who is going to run through those zone blocks? The Broncos play in the wrong division to not be good against the run.
4. Kansas City - The Chiefs are rebuilding. But they are on the fast track. Brodie Croyle to Bowe is going to be a hot connection. Larry Johnson is going to show he is not a one trick pony. A midseason trade to dump Tony Gonzalez to a contender will prove good since Gonzalez will probably only play 2-3 more years.

AFC North
1. Pittsburgh - Omar Epps really has this team turning the corner, but not moving to far away from Pittsburgh Steelers brand of football. Running game - check, big play WR - check, possession WR - check, great defense - check. Throw in Big Ben and the Steelers appear to be a lock in this position for years to come. This will hold especially true if Polumalu returns to form and Mendenhall shows he was no one year wonder.
2. Cleveland - Speaking of going in the wrong direction, the Browns will be shocked back to reality. A lot of exposure and even more games on television than the Pats, the Browns will almost live up to the hype after a brutal first couple of weeks. It is still to early to hand over the keys to Brady Quinn even though he beat up on the JV team of Wisconsin Wesleyan College in the preseason.
3. Baltimore - The Ravens might be getting older faster than we think. Ed Reed is questionable and Ray Lewis is coming off his worse season as a pro. The Ravens still are scary. Willis McGahee is the focal point with two young QB's handing off to him, and soon handing off to Ray Rice once Willis is hurt again. Still nothing special at WR, and the special teams is coming back around to championship form in Figurs. Will compete, but 7-9 is on its way.
4. Cincinnati - Barring any massive reconstructions, this Bengals team will struggle. Carson Palmer was beat up by the Saints in preseason. Chad ***** (Since he might have changed his name again by now like the WR formerly known as Chad or something stupid) has a bum shoulder and even bigger mouth. They cut there "franchise" running back and even more importantly, their best known offensive lineman. I hope Marvin Lewis is working on his resume to take over Notre Dame after Charlie Weis is fired for losing to Applachian State.

Playoffs
