Your up to date source for all things kosher. From sports to video games to relationship advice, I am a certified sports addict goon, a jack of all trades, a who's who of nobodies. Keep that in mind when reading.
I have an advanced degree and I have a day job and a life. Do not get mad at me for all of the crap that I come across or get forwarded throughout the day.
1. Colts/Jets?
Ebizz: Im goin to stick with the Jets to upset. The Colts having defense that is good enough to put Manning in position to make great plays. Yet, their defense is not the best in the NFL. So they are bound to give up some plays. If you think Revis is the only threat the Jets have, apparently you have not watches any games. point blank.
DProfessor: This is too easy. The Colts are tough on D playing against a one-dimensional team. Sure the Jets play great defense, and run REALLY good. But you have to score more than 10 pts offensively to beat the Colts. Revis is great, but he can't guard 3 people at once. Colts 27 - Jets 13.
2. Saints/Vikes?
DProfessor: Ahhh.....one for the ages. This is like the USC/Texas game back with Vince Young and Reggie Bush. You know their are going to be some points put up in this one. AP has yet to get going, and who's to say that Brett wants him to do so? Brett wants to air that ball out and sling it all over the field. The problem is that the Saints do that better than any team in the league. The last team with the ball wins. Bottom line. Saints 41 Vikes 38.
Ebizz: Stop changing your mind. Im going with my Vikings in this one. Super Bowl winners............
3. Super Bowl Pick?
DProfessor: It's easy for me. The Colts. They have been the most consistent team all year....hence going 14-0 before shutting it down for the playoffs. Sure, call me a homer...but who else can win the tough games? All of the Vikes big wins have been blowouts, the losses, close. Same for the Aints. I'm taking the Colts and of course, MVP goes to the White QB...barring a 8 sack performance from Freeney.
Ebizz: So you must have not seen the Vikings vs the 49ers this year? or how about when they played the Steelers when they were robbed of that game? Or how about the Ravens who was one of your favorite teams coming into the season?? Vikings have won tough games and I say they are still able to do so. Dont count them out.
4. Well, we found Marvin Harrison
DProfessor: My daddy always told me to watch for them quiet cats, they are usually the craziest ones. Marvin is showing his true colors IF these details become true.
Ebizz: If details become true?? they have a man that said he was shot by Marvin Harrison. Then he was killed after coming out and saying that?A hell ofastory to make up out of no where. It is what it is.
5. Restructure of the NBA DProfessor: I'll take a revision to All-Star Weekend. Ray Allen wants 25% fan voting. Billups echoed that. I agree. There is no way in hell T-Mac should be allowed to play, let alone start in the game. My D-League player on NBA2K is averaging better numbers than him and AI. AI should bow down and let Rondo or DRose start if he gets the nod. AI can at least play a little bit. T-Mac is done.
Ebizz: The playoff system needs some retooling because the east only has to barely win and make the playoffs, while in the East an impressive 50 win season does not even guarantee you a spot? I say put teams with the best scores vs. each other and let the teams with garbage records watch the competition from the sideline..
6. Big Mac with a side of "roids"
Ebizz: really i say f*** baseball but I must say the way these circumstances are being handled puzzles me. The black unemployment rate is steady on the rise but yet we still are over saturated with sports icons that are built like pro wrestlers finally admitting what we already knew. Lets focus on something important out here, and by the way FREE BARRY BONDS and let him play!!!!!!!!!!
DProfessor: What has yet to be said from Cardinal Nation is that we "forgive" McGwire is because he is white. White people stick together. They don't cross alliances, like Pimp C said, "If you was a cartoon character on your first album, you better be a cartoon character on your last one." I don't know what that has to do with anything, but I miss some Pimp C. Let Barry Bonds come out with a lame azz apology. You might as well shut down all the comment sections because they will be overwhelmed with hate.
7. Where should Toby Gerhart Go?
DProfessor: Gerhart is a late 1st Rounder to me unless he dazzles at the combine. He has to show he is sub 4.5 in the 40 and must kill the other RBs in bench presses. Teams will me ready to gobble him up...let's face it, how many good legitimate white rbs are there in the league?
Ebizz: I agree with you. Late first round, but yet a real steal. I want to see him aside a fast back to add some balance (ex: Tennessee, or Minnesota)
8. Vick to the Rams?
DProfessor: In the words of 8-5, "Child please." The day Vick signs with the Rams and doesn't get shot on site by John Wilkes Booth III, is the day I buy season tickets to the Dome. This is STL.
Ebizz: All the stuff you talking goes out the window when teams want to sell tickets. The fans will come out to see Vick play and he would have my full support as well. If he came here and won the Rams about 8 games, people would be more than willing to put that dog-stuff behind them....Hell look at my man Kobe.
9. What happened to Steven A Smith?
DProfessor: According to CBeans, ESPN has a pecking order and Stephen A wasn't playing ball. You can catch him on Fox Sports and on his own site....HERE. The fact of the matter is Stephen A kept it real and called a lot of cats out on the air. He always gave Skip the business too. Big up, rather be owner, than be owned.
Ebizz: Steve Smith we miss you and shouts out to Bill Walton. please come back
10. Fantasy NBA Slam Dunk Contest Contestants DProfessor: Can we get Shaq to rally the troops? I'm not too excited with Shannon Brown, Nasty Nate, and Gerald Wallace. Nice lineup but I won't miss any sleep over this one if I miss the festivities.
Ebizz: Nasty Nate Dogg! How about JR Smith, Jamario Moon, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Vince Carter, and maybe Russell Westbrook. Can we get a little variety out here? But lets also take it back to the Jordan vs. Dominique rules, before theaddition of the team crap.
Step your inteview game up before you get remixed too!!!!!
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.
