Contracts and Deadlines



1. Albert Pujos worth $300 million?
Ebizz: No human being is worth that much. He better be a home run hitter, back catcher, pitcher, and sell peanuts for all that damn money. He does not even have 10 good years left, but even if he does those efforts wont amount to 30 million a year.
DProfessor: From a business standpoint, I see the Cardinals calling the bluff. But the Cardinal arrogance of we will be alright without him is typical St. Louis Good Ole Boys. Is he worth the money, thats up for debate. But if people like Jason Werth can get 7yr $126 mill, Pujols should get 30 mill a year. Hands down. I understand getting more people for the money but you cant replace star power.
Beans: Hell No he's not worth it.  That being said there is big hole in the Cubs' lineup that I'm sure Albert would have no problem filling. That would be nuts!   Hey, A-Rod got his why can't Albert get his too?

2.Charlie Sheen and a new Major League 4
Ebizz: Im with it. This is the only thing baseball I would watch other than my boy Kenny Powers....  Who cares about him abusing drugs and women. He is not the first and will not be the last but who gives a damn anyways. I enjoyed the first three and would not mind one more sequel.
Beans: Yeah right... He wasn't even in ML 3 that I remember.  Who would he play, the obnoxious fan that gets kicked out of the park after sniffing blow with prostitutes in the stands?
DProfessor: Charlie Sheen needs to go ahead and cash in with his own porn spoof. Just call it The Major League and be done with it. He probably already has the footage. Just needs to edit, cut, and add a soundtrack.

3. Cam Newton, and all the other quarterbacks
Ebizz: Cmon now. This guy did everything I expect Pujos to do if he gets this lottery contract. How was he not always considered the best qb? Is this a case of skin color??? There were a few other standout qb's, but none compared to Newton.
Beans: Same old story here.  Cam is the "same" can't miss prospect that (ahem) Vince Young was.  That is where the similarities end.  He is a physical specimen unlike most we've seen leaving the college ranks at the qb position.  He has a cannon for an arm, just wait until he gets "coached up."
DProfessor: Pay Cam his money. Difference between Cam and Vince, Cam actually has heart. Vince wins games though.

4. Jerry Sloan resigns
Ebizz: They say great athletes and coaches know when the best time is for them to call it quits....It just so happens that he did it at the same time controversy in Utah had risen. He should be a Hall of Famer someday for what he has done.
DProfessor: As most people are still wondering, I want to know was he tired of Williams. Did he just throw his hands up and say I'm cant take this $hit no more. 
Beans: Ditto.  His time in this league was special and appreciated, but all good things come to an end.

5. Jerry West Statue 
Ebizz: After they make a Kobe statue wont that make 3? They gone run outta statue space in a minute. But hey Im not complaining. Maybe this means they will update the NBA logo to somebody a little more present like...... number 23?
DProfessor: Jerry West is the only man to ever lose the game and win MVP. That should tell you how cold he was. That being said, I wouldnt mind MJ on the logo. The Jordan Brand should take over jerseys the way Reebok did with NFL. 
Beans: West is already the logo, why shouldn't he have a statue to match in LA?  As for the logo... as much as I would love for there to be the likeness of MJ23 in the NBA logo, that logo is timeless.  Leave it as is.

6. Melo makes the Knicks a contender?
Ebizz: I think the biggest learning curve will come when its time to play some defense. This uncoached part of the game may bite them in the ass if the coach doesn't add this to his game plan.They now have a great nucleus to build on for the future at least. I can see Nash or Chris Paul in a Knick jersey. I would like to see a quality center alongside Amare as well.
DProfessor: They will average 100 pts a game and give up 110. Starting line up of Amare, Melo, Turiaf, Landry Fields, and Billups doesnt exactly pump fear into the Boston, Miami, Chicagos of the Eastern Conf.
Beans: Yeah a great nucleus based on the Defenseless D'antoni system.  This is the eastern conference - Where defense is what separates contenders from pretenders.  This move helps the Knicks, but does not make them contenders-Period.  This move seems Isiah-like on the surface, but the Knicks finally got something valuable while giving up draft picks and talent.  New York has two franchise players, now they just need a team.

7. Deron Williams to Nets?
Ebizz: If Utah didnt work i wonder how long this marriage will last, cuz the Nets not going no where.
DProfessor: Is it me or is all of the young talent moving to the East and the "veteran" teams are deeper in the West, minus Dookie and the Thunder? The Nets really didn't give up much but without Sloan, I don't think Devin Harris can reach his full potential. Trade is like 3 weeks too late.
Beans: I like Deron Williams.  In my opinion the second best pg in the league (After D-Rose, yeah I'm a homer).  Deron is tired of Utah and is looking for a change of scenery.  If somehow NY was able to bring D-Will in, that would add a major piece to the puzzle there.  They still need good role players and a change in defensive philosophy. I guess he will have to settle for Brooklyn.

8. Favorite basketball movie of all time
Ebizz: I would have to say it is a tie for me between Blue Chips with Nick Nolte and a classic combination of Shaq and Penny. A perfect storyline as well. The other would be Above the Rim which came from a more street angle and featured more than enough significant stars. I love both of em. Other notables were White Men Cant Jump and He Got Game.
DProfessor: Probably a tie with Blue Chips, Space Jam, and He Got Game. He Got Game took Blue Chips and showed the recruiting process that people are just now complaining about and visualized it. And any movie with Jesus Shuttlesworth as your main character gets my vote. Blue Chips is awesome. Nick Nolte as Bobby Knight type coach was right on time. Favorite part is when the white baller asks for money in one of those nice little gym bags.
Beans: White Men Can't Jump gets my vote.  Streetball with talented hoopers.  Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson played the hell out of those roles.  It actually looked like those guys could play ball.  Also, the young Rosie Perez was Woody's lady  too.  Nuff Said. Honorable Mention - Above the Rim, Hoosiers, and the Earl "The Goat" Manigalt movie with Don Cheadle.


9. Favorite Football movie of all time
Ebizz: The Program and Friday Night Lights
DProfessor: Any Given Sunday. Watch the video. The Real LT was in there too. 
Beans: The Program is a classic, probably will never be topped in my book.  Honorable Mention - Any Given Sunday, Jerry McGuire, and Waterboy

10. Lingerie Football League
Ebizz: Are you kidding me? I think this is a kind of silly idea, but at the same time, if you give St. Louis a team I would probably be seen in the audience of at least one game. Sometimes a sport gets its real appreciation when you see it live. And I know fellas \can sure agree with me on this one. Hmmm maybe a lingerie basketball team may improve allstar weekend as well?
DProfessor: The games come on MTV 2 and  if you flicking through the channels, it sure as hell catches your eye. I think a lot of events could borrow the Lingerie theme, CNN, the weather channel, History network. 
Beans: We actually have a LFL team here in Chicago.  If the games were televised I might actually watch.  But until someone delivers a career/season ending hit on another lady.... I'll pass.

Bonus: I watched a nice documentary on ESPN about the only Black driver to ever win a Nascar event. The story of Wendell Scott is represented by "A Story of Race". It should have been apart of the 30 for 30 movement but nonetheless. I enjoyed it. You can watch all 4 parts by clicking on this users youtube.

All Star Wrap It Up



1. NBA Allstar weekend
Ebizz:
 Overall it was everything i figured it would be, but i still wanted alot better. Maybe if the competitions were as fun to watch as the dunk contest it would be more entertaining for me. But Charles Barkley is hilarious. Whats was Kanye thinking about with those tight ass jeans on??  and Shouts out to Rhianna and that itty bitty skirt tho.
DProfessor: Best part of the weekend was the commentary from Charles, Kenny and the crew. If Barkley had a reality show, I would watch it religiously. From Charles clowning Justin Beiber, to doing the dougie, I was throughly entertained. All Star weekend did live up to the hype. Better than any other sports hands down. Kanye - please take off those jeggins. Not a good look - Management.


2. Three Point contest
Ebizz
: I thought Ray would win but that Jones dude came thru in the end. I guess that bout all he is good for anyways.
DProfessor: Too bad Jones isn't clutch. He hasnt hit a game winner ever has he? Eddie House has demonstrated his uncanny eye for the big shot.
3.Dunk Contest
DProfessor: I would have like to see Derozan vs Blake for the finale. McGee had some nice gimmick dunks but you just figured they would run out soon. McGee under the basket was extra nice. The finale overall was a let down. The dunk over the car was ooookkk. For all the preaching that Kenny Smith was doing, I thought Moses Griffin was gonna split the red sea. I will say this, the best man won. Blake Griffin jumps with bad intentions. He sucks the air straight out the room. He is violent.
Ebizz:
 I was very impressed by the quality of dunks and the extra theatrics as well. JaVelle McGee had the dunk with two balls and two hoops. Blake Griffin got handed the award from the home team. But no complaints from me. Maybe next year we can get some stars involved. LeBron nutted up and did not get in this year after saying he would.

4.Other Competitions
DProfessor:I liked the thought of Horse, but the execution is not TV ready. People have to be able to talk big game playing horse, and by talking $hit, I mean curse words and expletives. How about an All Star Draft like the NHL were they have two captains and they pick 2 teams that way.

Ebizz: A bunch of crap to me. Gotta get one on one, a dunk on a chump competition or something better than the mess we are forced to watch now. It is becoming more painful by the year to sit thru these silly events.

5.Allstar Game
Ebizz:
 It was not that flashy type of game I was expecting to see overall. Kobe was business as usual as I expected to see. Derrick Rose is always impressive.
DProfessor: It was great to see the Heatles and Celtics get along. lol
6. NBA second half surprise team
DProfessor: Not to say that they will do anything in the playoffs but how about Golden State and Indiana Pacers? Both teams finally figuring out how to play with each other and getting healthy. Again, they wont win a playoff series but they will tire one of these old teams out.
Ebizz:
 I wanna say the Spurs. They cannot keep playing at this amazing level....... Or can they? 

7. Carmelo moves?
Ebizz:
 I would love to see him with the Knicks, but apparently he does really care if its Knicks or Nets. Winning a championship seems not to be priority number one. Only if he was headed to Los Angelos........
DProfessor: For him to get the Knicks or Nets of all their talent instead of waiting until offseason is clearly a sign that these guys are scared it will be a lockout. Dumb move unless its strictly about the money.
8. Black Mamba, DWade and Kevin Hart, Cp3 Nike commercials
Ebizz
: There was a time when alot of effort was put into creating basketball shoe commercials and hopefully this is the start of that again. I finally saw the lil mini Black Mamba movie and that it was tight. I like those shoes as well. Dwade thinks he is a black James Bond... but i like this idea as well.
DProfessor: Those commercials are cool but this is my favorite commercial right now. 


9. Ohio State on the road???

DProfessor: Nobody wins at Wisconsin. Noboby. 
Ebizz: 
They have been showing that they are human. On the road anyone can be beat, but this is when they are supposed to show they are elite. Win now loose later I guess, but I think they are OVERRATED..

10. What have you been listening to lately???
Ebizz:
 Pharoahe Monch - Calculated Amalgamation, Still Standing ft Jill Scott dope trackx.
DProfessor: I been listening to Kidz Bop 18. They jamming on there. Some Black Eye Peas. Keeping it gangsta as usual.
Xtra credit
Ebizz:
 Kenny Smith has a very very hot ass wife. This Spartacus mini series is on point!
DProfessor: Kenny Smith wins. Hand down man down. Apparently she was on Price is Right.

Spot Me MELO

We got our Far East Coast correspondent to way in on our topics today....let's welcome from the future home of Brooklyn Nets...Mo Betta

1. Melo to Lakers?
EBizz: *No room to call this cheating with all the other super moves that have been made recently. With that said, hell yea lets make it happen. This will ensure we have our future in place when Kobe hangs his legendary jersey up. It will also keep us contending for years to come. Bynum has shown he has a big upside even with the injuries. Hell he is only 23. But like Kobe said, "ship his ass out."
DProfessor: I would welcome this with open arms if I were LA. All there are rumored to have to give up is Andrew Oden. I mean Bynum. You can't teach height, but you can't teach health either. Bynum has missed more games than Kobe and has only been in the league like 4 years. Unless he goes to Phoenix and the Fountain of youth trainers they have, Bynum is gonna stay on P.U.P. list. Besides, why not transition to new star of Melo since Kobe on downside of his career?
MoBetta: Let's make a deal! Big Bynum is only 23 but he's had more injuries than a 10 year vet, he showed a lot of heart last year playing thru the injuries and was a big part of helping us repeat but I'm scared that injuries will never fully allow him to reach his potential and I'm shaky on big men with a history of injuries (Yao Ming, Greg Oden,Rick Smits, Zydrunas Illgauskas, Bill Walton should i keep going???) the chance to get a player like Melo just hitting his prime to go along with aging but still @ the top of the game Kobe is scary good!

 2. Any other mega trades?
EBizz: *None would be bigger than Melo to the Lakers.
MoBetta: I'm with the E this is the only mega trade everything else pales in comparison.
DProfessor: What about this old guy named Steve Nash? A healthy Nash can go a long way in crunch time. Not Melo status but that is probably biggest other name available.


3. KG: Dirty or Fiesty????
EBizz: *KG has been dirty. Just watch him next time he sets a pick. He does alot of barking but scares no one. Not to take away from his game though. But all the antics are a waste of time. Besides Fiesty is not a word I would use to describe a grown ass man.
DProfessor: I love KG. KG is probably one of the top 25 Power Forwards of All Time. In one word, dirty. He put his foot out on Channing Frye and punched him in the nuts on one play. Epitome of dirty. But I would love it if he was on my time. Best example of the Big Ticket in work.
MoBetta: KG dirty hell yes! Would I take him on my team hell
yes! His act is tired and he doesn't put fear into anybody but his
intensity and passion I'd take anyday to go to war with


 4. More Housewives: Scottie Pippen's wife is finnnneeeeee
 http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20463373,00.html
EBizz: If you are an athlete, or entertainer past or present, this is to be expected. Im not surprised. She is hot though.
MoBetta: What if Scotttie Pippen was just Scottie Pippen The 9-5 man, things that make you go hmmmm lol
DProfessor: If Pippen was 9-5, he could wear the big chicken suit and not need a beek. 

5. HOF Class: Deion, Marshall, No Bus
EBizz: *Where the hell is Chris Carter???
DProfessor: I think Carter gets in next year ahead of Tiki Barber. People need to remember Carter's stats were there before he met this guy named Randy Moss.
MoBetta: Deion and Marshall def no brainers but no Chris Carter??? In the words of Mark Jackson come on hof your better than that!


6. NFL Lockout?
EBizz: If there is a lockout I think alot more people will be commiting suicide this upcoming year.
DProfessor: And a lot of child support payments will be missed. We might actually have a new show on VH1, Welfare Girlfriends of NFL.
MoBetta: Billionaires and millionaires arguing over money really? If theres a lockout I'm in line for replacement players!

7. NBA Lockout?
EBizz: If there is a lockout I think I will commit suicide this year. Kidding...
DProfessor: Can't we get Don King to broker a deal? Don King would have had this settled over a marathon of Sanford and Son.
MoBetta: Really more billionaires and millionaires arguing over money, 2k11 will have to due for a while..

8. 1st Pick in NFL Draft is.....
EBizz: Who played this year besides Cam Newton?
MoBetta: No clue...Other than Cam Newton what happened in college football this year?lol
DProfessor: And watch Cam get passed over for Underachieving White QB X and Y because they played in Pro Style offense. Newsflash, where have all the great Notre Dame and USC qbs gone (minus Dirty Sanchez)?

9. 1st Pick in NBA Draft is.....
EBizz: Way 2 early
DProfessor: Whoever it is, they better be ready to go to Cleveland. The league is going to have to put the fix in just so they will win a game by Thanksgiving.
MoBetta : Its very early but i dont think anyone has stood out at all no superstars for the draft this year.


10. BLANK TEAM wins NCAA Tourney
EBizz: KU, Duke, Uconn, Pitt, Ohio State, Texas all have a fair chance with their team depth
DProfessor: Duke makes it to final four, as usual and loses to Jemmer Fredette and BYU, who then loses to San Diego State in Championship. 
MoBetta: It's wide open a lot of good teams nobody great right now just to throw a name out I'd go sleep with Texas

Wes 7.0



That should teach them. Don't mess with the Tosh!!!!

#Dead @bury you and your sister in the sand box

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.


xtra credit:
Favorite song made by an athlete
Ebizz:
Shaq ft Biggie - Cant stop the reign - classic Classic Classic
Deion Sanders - Must be the money - Trendsetter - Now I see where Diddy got his swag and dancing from lol
DProfessor: Everybody want to know what the Kidd Didd.....Basketball's Worst Secrets
Ebizz: The Question was for the best not worst.

Superbowl PETA commercial

Veggie Love is what they call it. PETA never seems to let us down with their creativity. I wonder why they would ban such a thing.....


Friday, February 4, 2011

Spot me 10



1. NBA Allstar team Snubs West
Ebizz: Kevin Love sticks out. He should have been a definite. Others left out were Zach Randolph, Lamar Odom, Monte Ellis, and Lamarcus Aldridge. All these guys are having career seasons. Guess they can't win the popularity contest.

DProfessor: They had to choose between Kevin Love and Blake Griffin....I would say they got that right. But I still think Love makes the team as the Yao Ming replacement. Since it is an all-star game, I would rather see a more flashy player in Monta Ellis. Ellis is 3rd in scoring, can light it up and is the Russell Westbrook of the Bay.



2.NBA Allstar team Snubs East
Ebizz: I think they actually got it right in this case. I cant think of too many other players who should have made this squad.

DProfessor: I would have to agree. The superteams are all represented in full. Team looks like the next Drake song of BosMiamiLanta.


3. Add a little excitement to the Allstar game
Ebizz: How about one on one between two voted players or something. Maybe even bring back Rock N Jock Basketball. Anything is better the crap we have to sit threw now. The NBA dunk contest rules have changed for the worse as well.

DProfessor: I have the perfect ideas that would appease the women and make everybody play hard. The winner gets to pick 4 people off the losing team who has to volunteer for the next year of Real All Star Baby Mommas on VH1. I bet that would light some fire under that game.


4. Favorite NBA Allstar dunk
Ebizz: Dwight Howard with the super-jump dunk wearing the cape also EVERY dunk Vinsanity did lol

DProfessor: Nique, MJ, Vince, TMac, JRichardson. But the one that stands out is Spud Webb. Spud had everybody under 5'8 thinking dunking was the ultimate goal.




5. Upcoming NBA trades
Ebizz: Melo should be outta Denver pretty soon. Maybe Rip Hamilton, Igudola, Danny Granger. No one is really budging at the moment it seems though.

DProfessor: Teams probably dont want to make any real moves since their will be a lockout next year anyway. Most of the key trade bait are older players and Melo justs want to go to NY.




6. Orlando Talks $h1t, Can't Stop LeBron
DProfessor: In the words of Katt Williams, thats what you get for talking Yiiittt. LeBron is the Tiger. I'm just saying. The analogy goes well. Real tiger = LeBron....fake habitat = Cleveland. Could have easily went for 60 and triple double.

Ebizz: Speechless...........Stan Van Gundy aka Ron Jeremy admitted that their team is not championship caliber.

7. Gucci Mane Tattoo??
Ebizz: Well it got him a shoutout for his 31st bday on ESPN. Tyson said he like going to war and Gucci Mane likes to be licked on. Could not have said it better. I remember a couple of years ago when everybody hated him. I miss those days. The tattoo sucks just about as bad as his music does.

DProfessor: I was in utter shock that Gucci La Flare, aka Bricksquad aka Gucci Montana made a respectable show as PTI. That being said, the tat is beyond stupid. Tats are overboard nowadays anyway. But I respect Gucci, as far as the best of the worst rappers go, the Gucci is my go-to-guy. Besides, he has about 147 mixtapes this month alone. He took the Master P approach and blew it out the Ice Cream truck.



8. Favorite new show
DProfessor: Southland and Spartacus are back. Another cool show is Parenthood, well because I am one.

Ebizz: Shameless and Lights Out. Both are pretty good so far....




9. Luke for Mayor in MIA
Ebizz: He would get my vote instantly. Maybe I need to move back down there........

DProfessor: Now that would be worth going to the victory party. Hell, Luke would probably throw a party if he lost.



10. Haynesworth punched fellow motorist
Ebizz: I wish it was his coach he punched instead.

DProfessor: Maybe the motorist said he was an overpaid overweight bastard driving over the line. I smell donuts from Fat Albert's car and a lawsuit coming from the other guy.



Bonus Random Thoughts

Ebizz: Right now Im jamming Bruno Mars ft. Damien Marley - Liquor Store Blues.

DProfessor: Cold chicken still tastes like chicken

Happy Black History Month

1. NFL Pro Bowl Game
Ebizz
: Who cares? What made this game even worse was putting it before the Superbowl.
DProfessor: Did you see the last play of the game? Two words - Pa Thetic. Maybe the other All-Star games are bad and they have other events that carry the weekend (NBA - Slam Dunk, MLB - Home Run, etc), but the NFL cant have Punt Pass and Kick. How about a celebrity game MTV style?


2.  Plaxico Burress
DProfessor: Last time I checked, Plexiglass was 6'5ish and great red zone target. You can't lose that in jail right? Maybe his hands got a better grip in the joint.
Ebizz:
 Vick showed that convicts deserve another chance. Why not drop him in the NFC East with a certain role model by the name of Mike Vick? Philly can actually use him as well.

3. Superbowl Predictions
Ebizz: Pressure can be key. If the Steelers can get after Boy Wonder Rodgers early that can impact the game. I think Big Ben will continue to do what he does in big games.....
DProfessor: Which is celebrate after the game with a woman that sues him the following year? I like the Steelers too but don't think this will be a blowout. More of a see saw, 35-24 type game.

4. What is next for the Rams?
Ebizz: They can only get better. Number one on their list MUST be a talented wide receiver. The throws were on point but these guys out there now cant catch a cold. Everything else should be secondary.
DProfessor: Speaking of secondary, how about somebody that actually covers? But #1 should be top WR, #2 should be fast RB, #3 should be a overall athlete.....Kick returner.

5.Favorite Superbowl memory
DProfessor: The Greatest Show on Turf vs Titans. This started the good Super Bowl Era. Only 2 bad Super Bowls since this one. 
Ebizz: Most recent has to be Eli Manning vs the Patriots. He broke a tackle that was sure to be a sack, then gets off a crazy pass to be caught by David Tyree and his helmet. Jaw dropping play!


6. Best Album No One has Heard

DProfessor: Big K.R.I.T - Krit wuz here. Something is best song but dont sleep on the rest.
Ebizz: Anything Tiron or BLU.



7. Eddie House: Fair or Foul
DProfessor: The Sam Cassell "Big Nuts" Celebration has to be top 5 on my list with TO and Pom Poms, The Jordan Fist Pump, The Mutombo Wave, and Aaron Rodgers Championship Belt.
Ebizz: via text message "F@ck HIM!!!!"



8. Worse Losing Streak: Cleveland or Washington on Road?
DProfessor: Karma Dan Gilbert, Karma.
Ebizz: Cleveland, They still have a team? 



9. Mid Season MVP?
DProfessor: Derrick Rose. Best PG IN THE LEAGUE. Hand Down Man Down. 
Ebizz: Manu Ginobili. He should get comeback player of the year too. 



10. Trouble in LA?
DProfessor: Man please. Is it April yet?
Ebizz: Playoffs? We talking about Playoffss?

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"
