Stop the Madness: I Would Have Left Cleveland Too

Let this be a disclaimer: I have never been to Ohio, let alone Cleveland. I am not a professional athlete nor do I play one on a Tyler Perry show (no homo). That doesn't mean that the Summer of 2010 doesn't effect me. I'm a fan just like you, in a city that doesn't even have a pro team.

Let's start with the facts:

1. LeBron James is arguably one of the best 5 players in the league. Hands down. No matter where you rank him, he can't fall lower than 5. 
2. DWade is in the same category. 
3. Bosh - not so much, but still an All-Star for what its worth and very talented. We can all agree Bosh is at least one of the top 10-15 PF/C in the league. 
4. Every team in the league was trying to coax these guys into signing with their perspective teams, and rightfully so. Teams (Miami, NY, NJ, Chicago, Clippers, etc) virtually cut their entire rosters to shreds preparing for this summer two years ago.

Hey Cleveland....Stay classy.

Blame Cleveland. Cleveland did nothing to get better.  No coach. Mike Brown couldn't coach a HS team. No good players. Shaq - Hurts LeBron's ability to run. Jamison - he is who we thought he is. No young talent. No swinging for the fences free agency moves. Just simply the comfort that Delonte West would be there to leave the light on and the toilet seat up.  They played the home is where the heart is card. Bullshit. You ever been to Miami? Ever been to Florida? Stacks up pretty good to Cleveland Ohio doesn't it? Case adjourned.

LeBron - Greatness or Ultimate Teammate?

Remember when people questioned Kobe's willingness to pass the ball or trust his teammates? No...doesn't ring a bell? Or the time he wanted out of LA? Yeah - winning silences the ghosts of Christmas past doesnt it? Kobe didn't exactly campaign to get LeBron type help, but remember LA almost landed KG, and instead got Gasol. Good consolation prize huh? Once marveled at how great a teammate he was, now LeBron is the poster child for "Can't Get it Done By Himself."  My thoughts and hopefully LeBrons thoughts on that - who gives a SHIT? When did doing it by myself become the measure by which it gets done? Last time I checked, this wasn't tennis or golf, it is a team sport. I hope LeBron averages a triple double this year, which is very possible since he will have at least 2 people that can hit a shot. 

Get my Steven A. Smith on...

The fact of the matter is James, Bosh, and DWade are going to be exciting no matter how you slice it and no matter who signs for the league mininum to be on South Beach.  I still don't believe they are the best team in the league, maybe not in their own state. They have to fill out the roster, I'm not worried about playing together, they did that for a few years with the Olympics.  That being said, the East still runs through Boston, Orlando, and maybe Chicago. Teams are not just going to lay down since the Voltrons united. James did a crazy unprecedented feat by broadcasting where he signs and he did it on his terms. He signed for less money. No one commending him for that? Big friggin deal he did it on live TV. I'll let Spike sum that up. How is that different from ESPN broadcasting and having a "Sunday Conversation" on why he didnt stay in Cleveland like the olden days? The difference is nobody can wait that long anymore. People have to have the information like yesterday. Cameras have been following these guys almost as close as Brett Favre. Yeah Brett Favre - the guy we get updates that he cut his grass and had a slight limp or hurt his shoulder turning the pickle jar. Was it a good/bad decision? Nobody can answer that for the next 10 years or so, and even then their is no definitive answer. Was there a guarantee that he would win with Bulls/Knicks/Cavs? Hell no. That is what this is about right....winning? Or is this about loyalty? Loyalty to what...city of Cleveland? He was a free agent. Free agent - meaning the ability to freely sign with any other team. To Cavs organization and their out of the closet crazy owner?  Cavs new slogan "All for one and one for all"....what is this the YMCA 12 year old league? Dude is off his rocker and smokin wit cigawetts if he thinks Cavs are going to win before LeBron, especially after you try to throw the biggest star in the game under the bus. Cry me a river and go to hell and build a snowman because that ain't happening. But what does he owe Cleveland? Sure the fans are pissed - rightfully so - but come on son, ask yourself if you would have stayed? 

One thing is for sure....if they win the Championship together...that will be a hard decision on the MVP trophy.

To leave or not to leave.....

This NBA free agent class is one of the best in recent history. I can think of another year when so many valuable individuals had the ability to control their own destiny..... Until now.... But who goes where??
1.) LeBron James (26 years old) - how can you not go after Bron Bron if you are the Nets, Knicks, and other teams with alot of space and nothing to loose. Hell, put him with some more than average players and make sure they stay away from his moms......that is pretty much the recipe. The most dominant player in the league. I say Lebron will either stay or go to Chicago and keep riding his MJ high.

2.) Dwayne Wade (28) - in my opinion is the most complete player in the league next to Kobe Bryant. But as long as LeBron is linked with him, Wade will stay at #2. Wade will NOT by any means leave South Beach. For what reason should he? He has his own team, beautiful weather, beautiful women, and women who look ten times better than his own wife. I think the bigger question is who will join him? He is in need of a Big man, and a good set shooter. All of the other role players are in place already. Besides the combination that will destroy every franchise for years to come would be the devastating combo of #1 James and #2 Wade. And this would be good for sports!!!

3.) Chris Bosh (26) - Is one of the Best big men in the game. He averaged 22 and 8.7 over the last four seasons. Last year he chose to put up dominant numbers putting himself on display with 28.9 and 11.5 a game. Will Bosh even leave? Raptors showed they will spend money by bringing in Hedo Turkoglu to go with an emerging Calderon and Bargnani. With a couple more pieces this could be a good team in the future. If not im sure that any team with cap space will be willing to take the young fella.GUARANTEED Hell... he would look very good in purple and gold...

4.) Dirk Nowitzki ( 32) Well he averaged 26 and 9 a game this past season. This season also showed that even bringing in role players didnt help. It is time Dirk linked up with a player better than himself because it is obvious he does not have what it takes to get to the promise land.... It will be hard for him to brake away from that Maverick rope Cuban tied him in. I was just thinking to myself... they could be gay. What do yall think??????

5.) Joe Johnson (29) Boy got some game on him!!!! 39% three point shooter as well and very active with assists and boards. He will have high value this off season and will more than likely leave Atlanta. That is if he wants to win someday. He could be that piece LeBron or Wade needs. Maybe him and Bosh would be the new Pat Ewing and Alan Houston?? He is another player who needs someone better than him on his squad.

other notables:
Amare Stoudamire - unimpressive postseason for a top big man and someone wanting top pay.
Carlos Boozer - consistent and underrated. alot of injury issues as well but I like his toughness
Paul Pierce - he still got it.
Manu Ginobli - he came back in rare form. it is his time to get out of San An. and go shine elsewhere

David Lee - Give him the money he deserves. A great complimentary Big man to anyone

Yao Ming - The Chinese tried and hope fully no more experiments from them. this didnt work
Michael Redd - He fell off helllllllla hard.
Ray Allen - he hits threes, but will give you nothing else at all. so just imagine when he is having an off day? You are better off picking the less expensive version of this Ray Allen like.... JJ Reddick or Kapono.

Video of the Day - So St. Louis

You know you da ishh......

When you have been out of the game for 10 years and still making the cover of everything. Word on the street is Mr. Jordan will grace the cover of NBA2K 11. Since I"m back on my bball skills after a layoff since NBA Live 04, I am feeling the 2k series. It looks good, plays smooth and Career mode is helllllaaa fun. Taking your guy from the DLeague to the All-Star Game takes work, not just creating your player as a 90 out the gate. You really have to start at the ground up, a 40 rating. No jumper, no hops, no handles. Anyhooo, Jordan is a natural fit for 2K. He already has some sponsorship in the game, the Jordan Player of the Game, etc. Isn't it crazy that MJ never landed on a cover? Bulls vs Lakers ...nope, Bulls vs Blazers ...nope, NBA Showdown, try again. Remember you used to have to play with Player 99 that was Bald and Overall 99 rating? We know MJ is all about winning and his percentage, funny how time and money cures all. Now only if they can fix the NCAA games and put the names on their and pay these "amatuers" farely.

Which MJ moment should be the cover? I say just the Jordan emblem, but if they put a basketball moment, here are my top 5.

Old School...Where the legend begins.

Where he defied gravity....

A champion...

Ooo....sooo pretty....

CLASSIC

Valentine's Day Special: Have Better Sext: A User's Guide

With V-Day right around the corner, maybe a little warm up session is needed. I changed the picture, I like this one better.

Have Better Sext: A User's Guide

So you've finally discovered that your phone is more than just a device for making calls and playing Flight Navigator—that it can actually be used to enhance your sex life through a nifty little thing called "sexting."

Well, congratulations (and welcome to the 21st century). But don't be fooled: sexting mayseem easy, but it's actually a complicated dance of dirty words, innuendo, and, of course, hilariously unintentional misspellings (this is text messaging we're talking about). But with a little help, you'll be on your way to sexting like a pro. Read on and learn.

Sexting for Foreplay vs. Sexting as a Main Course. One of the first things to decide is whether your amorous texts are intended as the lead in to something in the flesh, or if they're intended as an end unto themselves. It may seem like a trivial distinction, but it's actually a key point to determining your sexting style.

If you're sexting for foreplay. The key here is to keep it light, and focus on the teasing—remember, you're trying to build excitement for what's to come, not blow your load on the spot. "I'm so hot for you," "I can't believe how wet my pussy is," flirty pictures, and the like are all ideal. Getting into too much detail, however, is not. Sure, you may be planning on covering your lover in peanut butter and licking it off of his or her body, then dousing their body in chocolate sauce and making sweet, sweet, messy love—but laying that all out on the front line builds up an expectation that may not be fulfilled (that, and typing all that out will make your thumbs prematurely tired).

If you're sexting as an end unto itself. In this situation, sexting becomes like phone sex or cybersex (but with texts!): it's intended as a simulation of the sexual act itself. Since you don't have to save your energy for anything else, feel free to go all out—but again, try not to blow your load all at once. The best sexual experiences build slowly: start with teasing, and when you're both good and ready, then you can whip out the chocolate and peanut butter covered sexing (if, you know, that's what you're into).

Text vs. Pictures. It's also important to decide whether your sexts are going to be primarily pictures, primarily text, or a mixture of both. Each medium has its strengths (and weaknesses)—it's up to you to decide which works best for your purposes.

Text sex. The merits of text are pretty obvious: it's oh so easy to say what you want (even if it's a little annoying to type it all out on a tiny keyboard). Text allows you the freedom to let your imagination run wild, and explore your wildest fantasies (in 160 characters or less, of course).

· Make it personal. As with all tech (and sex) experiences, customization is key. A generic message will only get you so far; if you manage to slip in an added, personalized detail, it's that much hotter.

· For the love of god, spell correctly. You're not fifteen (and if you are, close this window and go study for your chemistry exam). While some abbreviations may be necessary (especially in a detailed fantasy), the less you use, the better. "I wnt u 2 suk my cok" just isn't as hot. (Arousal-induced typos, on the other hand, are acceptable—and, for that matter, to be expected.)

· No emoticons. You can maybe get away with a sly ;), but beyond that, there's no such thing as a sexy emoticon.

Pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Photos may not allow you the same level of directness, but they do offer an added level of, ahem, stimulation. If you've decided to illustrate your sexts, here are a few things to keep in mind.

· To anonymize or no? If you're sending out sexy pictures of yourself, it's best to assume that they will one day be released to the public. Even if they're being sent to the most trusted of trusted partners, there's still the chance that you, yourself, will fuck up and manage to leak them. So if you care at all about protecting your identity, it's probably best to crop out your face (not that that's foolproof—just ask Rihanna). However, a faceless body shot is, of course, less alluring than one that hasn't been decapitated—so if you're ready to throw caution to the wind, include your face, reputation be damned.

· Hit them with your best shot. Chances are, you're taking these pictures by yourself, with a cell phone camera, so they're not going to be the best quality ever. However, that's no reason to just send whatever your camera manages to snap. A bad picture can ruin the mood—so pay attention to angles, lighting, and be sure to screen before you hit send.

· A word on up close genital shots. Genitals are wonderful, magical sources of pleasure, and they are, of course, beautiful in their own way. However, up close shots of genitals are not always the more aesthetically pleasing things, and should not be sent right out the gate—in fact, in many cases, should not be sent unless your partner specifically asks for them. (This goes doubly for the men: please don't assume that the ladies are itching to see a picture of your cock—unless, of course, they ask for it.)

Pictures with text. Most providers will allow you to append a text message along with your picture—this is obviously the best of both worlds. If you go this route, feel free to get creative. "I want you to lick me here" combined with a picture of your nipples? Extra arousing.

Thickness....Oh Wait...Wrong Email

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 of a story 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 the addition of the team crap.

Step your inteview game up before you get remixed too!!!!!

Blazing Through the Playoffs

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.

Wanna Get Away???? LT.....Slide to the right!!!

Here is to an early exit by the Bolts and this terribly hilarious and tasteless video. Wave to your 
mama. Hopefully Mr. Tomlinson can find a nice deal from our friends over at YTB.
