Need to get away? Maybe the makers of NBA Live or NBA10 need to get in touch with my peeps over at getaway2daytravel.com after NBA2k has ran away with the basketball market. Check out these two slamming trailers.

10 Spot
1. Vick debut or Kevin Kolb show?
DProfessor: Let's see, Kolb threw for 350+ yards (good) but 3 ints (bad) vs New Orleans. Not exactly a defensive powerhouse. KC can't be that good, they loss to Oakland for crying out loud. I say Vick gets in game shape, but Kolb plays a conservative game.
Ebizz: Well D, Imma say lets stay with Kolb. Vick needs real time to get into game shape. From the preseason Vick's on-field play proved to be resourceful but not as affective as he can be yet. So lets give him some time.
Sidenote: Why in the hell are teams so afraid of Jeff Garcia? I have at least 3 teams (STL, TB, hell maybe even Dallas) that could use Garcia right now.
2. Who is the best 2-0 team?
DProfessor: 2-0 teams are Giants, Vikes, Falcons, Saints, 49ers, Jets, Baltimore, Colts, Broncos. I know you money is on the Vikes, but I would have to say its the Giants with a runner up of the Ravens. Yep the Ravens. The Giants knew what they were doing when the got Eli. He is really starting to shine with some young receivers. But Baltimore is nasty. They still have the D, but Flacco and the run game is serious.
Ebizz: Imma go with my Vikes baby!! Why not??? They scared me a little bit against the Lions, but they are a complete team and I will never bet against A.P!!!
3. Who is the worst team in league?
DProfessor: Hands down St. Louis. Two words - Black Out. 7 points in 2 games. Even though they aren't getting dominated, they are terrible. And it starts with the offense. The defense is pretty solid and seems to be buying in the new coach's schemes great. But the offense is plagued by a statue Marc Bulger at QB, a nonphysical runner in Jackson, and thats about it. Nobody is rushing to pick anybody up for a fantasy spot. St. Louis and Detroit might be heading into week 8 both looking for their first W.
Ebizz:You are correct again D. The Rams are worse than the Mizzou Tigers. They are soft and look so lost on the field sometime where I actually feel sorry for these dudes who claim to be pros.
4. Better week: Gore or Chris Johnson?
Stat Line: Gore - 16 car, 207yds, 2td, 5 rec, 39yds
Johnson - 16 car, 197yds, 2td, 9 rec, 87yds, td
DProfessor: Johnson's number are staggering. Those are vintage LT type numbers. Marshall Faulkish. Johnson is supposed to be sharing the backfield with Tequila White but Tequila might have to take a backseat to the next Lenny Bruce.
Ebizz: Johnson was incredible. The reason I say Johnson is because of all the damage he did, most came in the first quarter. They could have used a little more of a push from him in the second half but he did more than enough. Very impresseive.
5. Are the Patriots going to miss the playoffs?
DProfessor: I can't see the Patriots missing the playoffs. I can see them at least getting the wildcard bid. Let's face it, the AFC West and South are only going to have one representative. The Wild Cards will come out of the East and North.
Ebizz: I can see the Patriots missing the playoffs unless they get their act together. This is the first time in who knows when since they have not scored an offensive touchdown in a game. I know I know...rust, Brady just getting back, etc. All excuses. Play ball!
6. Is Romo Still Overrated?
DProfessor: TO - gone. Romo's turnovers - still here. All smiles were in Dallas after the Cowboys beat up a lackluster Tampa Bay team and the non-TO receivers had big games. Sorry to break it to you Cowboys fans, the Bucs suck. Here are the stats through the first two games.
@TB W 34-21 16/27 353yds 3td/0int qb rating 140.6
NYG L 33-31 13/29 127yds 1td/3int qb rating 29.6
The stat that is absent from the sheet is the amount of missed tackles TB had on some of these plays. Good teams don't miss tackles or miss opportunities.
Ebizz:i say people had their expectations too high for Romo from the very beginning. When he first entered the league I saw Chad Pennington reinvented and I still see it. He will lead a team pretty far but I still don't think he has enough to go all the way.
7. Which coach is on the hottest seat?
DProfessor: Carolina - Jeff Fox. He stuck with Captain Turnover at QB, didn't get any WR help in the offseason, and is in a tough division. That might be hard to swallow after the team went 12-4 last year.
Ebizz:I would agree that Carolina's coach needs to put up this year, but I also think Bears coach needs to as well. They statistically have the easiest record in the whole NFL. Not to mention Cutler, but no targets. Hester is not the answer and I say Coach Smith will have to anwer to a few people if they dont make the playoffs this year.
8. More Plaxico News
DProfessor: Plax started his 2 year sentence leaving behind a pregnant wife and 3 year old. That sucks major azz.
Ebizz: Dick Cheney shoots his friend in the face with a gun and gets a slap on the wrist while Plaxico Burress shoots himself and get 2 years. I think this is a strong indication on how our judicial system is twisted to benefit some while making an example of others. My prayers go out to the Burress family.
9. Best QB in the league?
DProfessor: With all the hoopla made around the top qbs, who would you take if you were starting a team? Not a fantasy team, that answer is obvious, Drew Brees. I still go with the brothers Manning. Either one of them, but preferably Peyton.
Ebizz:Drew Brees hands down. Look at the rate that this guy is moving and the stats he has compiled so far. I mean, the Mannings are also arguably the best, but that is why this is my opinion!!!
10. How about them Canes?
DProfessor: My boys are 2-0 after beating two ranked team. After catapulting to #9 in the polls, are they trying to set the U up for failure? They get VTech on road and Oklahoma, that's not your Florida cupcake schedule. I like the direction this team is headed. Miami should be top 5 for at least the next 2 years.
Ebizz:I cannot hate on the Canes!! South Florida has not made airwaves this year because of Miami and those Gators as well. Florida is one of a few "Mecca's" of colloge football and you can sure bet that whenever a team from there takes the field, the game will be entertaining at least.

10 Spot: NFL Week 1 and Other Crap
1. Michael "Hall of Fame" Jordan - was his acceptance speech blown out of proportion, or was he out of line?
Ebizz: Mike is the best the game has had and that should be enough to exclude him from anything negative...Frankly, who will care years from now?? He held up his responsibility as a dominating force in basketball....lets remember him for that.....
DProfessor: People are making a big deal because Mike didn't "play ball" or "give the company line"....You know what...the hell with them. Mike let his hair down, had the crowd going, and even aired a little dirty laundry. Now if Mike went up there and thanked Jerry Krause for breaking up the biggest dynasty since the Celtics, how would that have shaked out? Props to MJ23 for being real, not real stupid like Kanye.
**Side Note** - Mr. Obama please remember that you can not ham it up with the boys in between takes with a microphone in the room. You are the POTUS. You are not one of the regular guys anymore. Everything you say or do will be held against you in the court of public opinion. Thanks for telling it how it iz....but...only talk like that in the shower.
2. Serena Williams outburst - was what Serena did blown out of proportion?
Ebizz: Hell no it was not blown out of proportion far enough. Serena's thick and strong self was looking real intimidating when she let off that tirade. If athletes are not going to be punished for their actions then it will only get worse really soon. You will see.....
DProfessor: E...don't trust a big butt and a smile sometimes. Serena was wrong and totally wrong. She did everything to that lady except drop the racket and say "Let's get in on right now MF!" I...like every other straight man love Serena and her assets, but she wrong for that one.
3. Donovan McNabb injured - is it the Eagles or Donovan McNabb who is blame for the Eagles having many opportunities year after year but never come through??
Ebizz: Mr. Professor you can answer this one hopefully better than me because I don't really know ow to answer this....If I had to pick, I would blame it on mostly the Eagles and maybe 25% on McNabb because someone has to lead his team to victory. Yet, in the players defense there are significant player changes throughout the years (Jeff Garcia, T.O., etc.)???????
DProfeesor: Is this the same McNabb that pulled up tired in the Super Bowl? Sorry to say it but that was his best shot. The Eagles are still not good in short yardage and don't have a physical receiver that can make those tough plays. They have a ton of speed, but they are not a dome team. It is unfortunate McNabb got cracked running for a TD but he will be back in time to prove his worth.
4. Vicks Impact on the Eagles
Ebizz: Unless Vick all of a sudden has the arm strength he had about 2 years ago and speed to match, I see him struggling this year and may become an impact player next year. He still has a ways to go before being ready, in my opinion. May I also mention that curse I think the Eagles are under???
DProfessor: No curse, it's just the NFL. As far as Vick, he still needs to shed that baby weight he added in the joint. The arm strength was never the problem it was the decision making. He can't be Terrelle Pryor and take off running. Ouch...sorry Buckeye nation.
5. Who would be your number one pick in next years draft?
Ebizz: Easy - Dez Bryant would be my pick. He is a big strong receiver with ridiculous speed. Not to mention how he carved right through Georgia's tough defense to start off the year. That's my pick!!
DProfessor: Too easy, LaGarrette Blount. The kid packs a punch and plays with a ferocious tenacity. He is tough as nails, will have fresh legs and is NFL ready. I like Bryant too if you like tall fast and talented receivers who can also return kicks. If thats' what you are into.
6. Bonehead play of the week...Cincy Defense or McKelvin Kickoff?
Ebizz: Hands down, both of them.
DProfessor: McKelvin, only because he said he would do it again. "Next time I get the opportunity, I am going to hold on and make a better decision," he said. Let's be real, he just said that he would rather try to make a play versus taking the sure W. The better decision is to not take the ball out, he is saying he has zero faith in his offense to seal the game. Fool me once, its on me, fool me twice....
7. Suprise team of week one??
Ebizz: The team that showed me more than I thought they would was the New York Jets. Sanchez showed that he is a product of USC and why they won all those games while he was in college. I saw poise and great awareness that is usually not an aspect of a Rookie on display against the Texans.
DProfessor: It would have been the Bills, but how about the 49ers? They beat a hobbled Cardinals team but a W is a W. They stayed committed to a run game that produced 25 carries for 21 yards. They just got it done. Hats off to Singletary.
8. Overrated player of the week...Drew Brees or Tom Brady?
Ebizz: Brees threw 6 tds...what are you saying?
DProfessor: True but 6tds versus the Lions is like beating your 10 year old nephew in basketball. Unless he is 6'2 with good feet, it is pretty unfair.
9. Allen Iverson to the Grizzlies?
Ebizz: I say great move for Memphis. They can make a push to bring in some fans to save their franchise and also attempt to win 40 games this year. A seasoned veteran in a young nucleus cant hurt as well too. I see Iverson coming in and taking youngsters such as OJ Mayo and Rudy under his wing and showing them some things that will benefit them in the long run.
DProfessor: Practice...we talking about Practice? Well I say AI would have better served the Heat back court. DWade is the only person on that team that can score. Sure, AI is not Glen Rice and doesn't sit in the corner for the knockdown 3, but he isn't Eric Snow either. Memphis may surprise some teams if they play an uptempo style and get those young guards out in space. The NBA version of the Spread attack.
10. Madden Curse - do you believe?
Ebizz: Polumalu out...Fitzgerald...I dunno.
DProfessor: (Crossing fingers) I do have Fitz on fantasy team. No comment.

Got a minute....Get Away From Me Brett Favre
Brought to you by getaway2daytravel, will somebody please cut the cord on the Brett Favre news?
Brett Favre is walking his dog.
Brett Favre can slam a revolving door.
Brett Favre is teaching the offense to the offensive coordinator.
Brett Favre counted to infinity - twice.
Brett Favre ordered a Big Mac at Burger King...and got one.
Well you get the picture. One actually noteworthy Favre news is that he is dirty.

NFL 10spot
1. Pacman goes >Fishing
DProfessor - You telling me that Adam Jones is not better than 50% of the db's in the league and has to go to Canada to find a job? Not that I am a fan, but I can't even name the starting corners on the Rams. Can u? This is a travesty. A shammockery.
Ebizz - This is not a case of skill on the field, but stupidity off the field.....remember our last 10 spot??? No one wants to take another gamble on this guy and I cannot blame em.
2. Who's the next Cassel?
DProfessor - Not only did Tom the Great Brady get suplexed by Fat Albert and the Redskins, Matt Cassel goes down this week in KC. So the question is can Belicheck find the next Cassel and can Tyler Thigpen fill Cassel's shoes in KC? New England just cut their 2nd string qb and only Andrew Walter is left on the roster. My money is on Belicheck, not the Chiefs.
Ebizz - Simple...the great Belicheck. His track record is almost impeccable.
3. TV Blackouts and NFL Package
DProfessor - The NFL is about to make a tough stance on the blackout policy during this recession. As posted here, the Jax Jags are down to 25k in season ticket sales. I guess the fans don't like the Garrard era or post crack head Matt Jones era. I know I have been a beneficiary of Rams blackout games last year but I don't want to be forced to follow Brett Favre.
Ebizz - Well not to mention the guy who played for the "jackville" jags who was gunned down last year.... Maybe this is a sign in most areas that the times are too hard to think about a damn pigskin past time anymore???? I do not believe it myself.
4. Fantasy Update
DProfessor - Doesn't everybody usually feel good after they draft their team? Sure their are a few holes that you spot off the top, but generally a nice collection of guys. A few guys I need to come through are Ronnie Brown, Peyton Manning, Steve Smith, and Smash and Dash. If not, I'm screwed.
Ebizz - I like Kevin Boss to get some number for the Big Blue, Percy Harvin, Leon Washington, maybe Cribbs. DProfessor is running my team so he should have filled out my segment as well....damn.
Predictions
5. MVP
DProfessor - The easy choice is Tom Brady. I am going to go Aaron Rodgers. The Pack are going to put up some numbers. The one problem is that the defense is vastly improved. I am going to go Rodgers first, runner up of Manning/Brady.
Ebizz - All Day Adrian Peterson for MVP. His numbers should rise that much more higher with a presence of a descent qb handing off the ball. Who can stop him??????
6. Best Record
DProfessor - Baltimore Ravens. They play the NFC North and AFC West, only the NFC West would have been easier. Throw in a great defense, stellar running game and emerging qb in Flacco, I think the Ravens can claim a 13-3 or 12-4 season. I don't think anybody wins more than 13 games this year.
Ebizz - Best record will be wrapped up by one of four teams.....Patriots, Eagles, Colts, or Steelers.
7. Everyone's Favorite Loser
The team that is receiving the most love in the media and will fall on their face.
DProfessor - Philadelphia. I love the speed the Eagles have but they lost that 3rd corner, lost their MLB, lost their safety in Dawkins, and I don't trust Westbrook over the 16 games. McCoy seems like a great rook but I don't see that go to WR in the lineup yet.
Ebizz - I actually like the chances the Eagles have. Even though they lost some key defensive players, I still say they have enough to emerge to the playoffs and a great season. The team I pick to fail is America's own Dallas Cowboys. Now or never is the time for Romo to step up and play good more than half a season. He was pampered by the Cowboys removing all distractions so he can concentrate (wait isn't he a professional getting paid to do this already??), and lets not even talk about the new number one option Roy Williams.........
8. Surprise Team to make the Playoffs
DProfessor - San Francisco. 2 reasons - 1. They play in the NFC West. 2. Somebody has to win that division. IF, big if, they can sign Crabtree and get him up to speed by week 10, they could run the gammit with games versus STL, Philly, Detroit, Ariz, Seat, and Jax.
Ebizz - I see no surprises as far as teams in the playoffs.... I will say that I think New Orleans is ready to give a run for their division title.
9. Final Four
DProfessor - Baltimore, New England, Giants, Packers. My beloved Colts will not be able to compete without Bob Sanders.
Ebizz - Vikings, Giants, New England, Steelers.
10. Super Bowl Champ
DProfessor - New England. When all things are equal, go with good coaching and the long ball. Chicks dig the long ball.
Ebizz - Pittsburgh looks as dynamic as they did last year and they are going to do the impossible and win back to back....Hopefully those who still hate on Big Ben with silly reasoning can finally lay off if he gets a 3rd ring.
Bonus - Super Bowl prediction is a running bet. Loser has to either go Mr. T for a week or Army buzz. Pick your poison. If neither of the Super Bowl picks make it, the team with the most from the Final Four is the winner.

10spot - Monday Aug 31
1. Brett Favre
Ebizz - The sage continues for yet another season with this Favre indecisiveness. Is he going to continue for the next couple of years going from team to team ruining franchises or will this be his last go-round?"
Professor D - I'm with Ebizz. He is messing up fantasy keeper leagues every year. And besides, wasn't their other younger qbs available that can lead the league in interceptions? Speaking of younger qbs....
2. Micheal Vick
Ebizz - To all Peta supporters: Sorry but Mr. Vick has suffered enough already! Let him play football in peace. The Philadelphia Eagles and Vick came to an agreement and he will play this 2009 season. For how many games is he getting the opportunity to play is the question that no one can answer but Mr. Godell.
Professor D - Daddy Goodell is protecting his brand image to the best of his abilities...I commend him for that. But lets be real, Vick is treating 2009 as one big training camp. The Eagles are going to audition him out if things turn bad late in the year. Lets not forget this is the best division in the NFC (sorry NFC South).
3. Steve McNair
Ebizz - The late great Steve McNair was a tragic victim of homicide on July 4th, 2009. His presence on the game of football was heavy and he will be greatly missed..........
Professor D - Steve McNair is a great football player. He enhanced and moved the "black qb" to the next level. Say what you say about his personal life, it was his life and he had to deal with those consequences. In this case, it was a pretty bad decision.
4. Donte Stallworth
Ebizz - Stallworth gave the NFL a real black eye when he struck and killed a pedestrian this summer in Miami. It also didnt help that his alcohol levels were thru the roof as well.
Professor D - And he messed up the Bentley. Rims just bent all up on the curb. He served 24 days and was suspended indefinitely. Rae Carruth has got to be kicking himself.
5. Plaxico Burress
Ebizz - New York City is trying to show that they mean business, but what sense is it to lock up a guy for so long who had no negative intentions with his weapon, and the only one who suffered was himself with a bullet wound. Yet killing a person or a dog must be looked at as less of a crime??? i dunno....See you in 2 years.
Professor D - Burress better hope for a lockout next year so he can plant the seed of everyone being out for 2010 and not just him. We are almost done with the legal wrapup of the week....We promise.
6.Pac Man
Ebizz - Video surface from the infamous night when Pac Man Jones was making it rain on some chicks in the strip club. Shouts out to Nelly reppin the Lou with a big stack of one-dollar bills on stage as well. The video link here
Professor D - I dont see any signs of recession in that video. This video just reinforces something I have thought but never proven...East St. Louis has the best strip clubs.
7.Tom Brady
Ebizz - Tom Brady will step back into his starting position with the Patriots. While Brady was out, he gave room for Matt Cassell to make a name for himself and even get himself a starting role with the Kansas City Chiefs (ironically the team that hurt Brady...conspiracy?).
Professor D - Brady to Moss. Brady to Moss. Oh what the hell....Brady to Moss again. Patriots to the AFC Championship game minimum.
8. Tim Tebow
Ebizz - Mr. Im Already Famous decided to stay in college for his senior year and attempt to defend his National Championship, again. What else is there on campus for him to accomplish ?? Well I guess there are new females to enroll this year......lots of parties.........ummm I understand now. Let him be a kid and enjoy what he has while it is there. Besides where would Tebow start in the NFL if he did leave instead of returning to college this year??? Exactly
Professor D - Did you forget that he is a virgin? Maybe it is the Bill Clinton corollary of what constitutes sexual relations? Is it just the tip going in or does felacio count?
9. Rick Pitino
Ebizz - Pitino was a victim of extortion by a young lady he banged out of a restaurant bathroom in Louisville; while his wife and kids are at home maybe wondering where if all is ok with him. All I have to say is that Pitino is lucky. If this was a coach with not as large a name or even a player, they would have instantly lost a job!
Professor D - One question - how nasty are you to get it on with a chick on a bathroom floor of any public place? I barely want to touch the door handle or sink to turn on the water. Slick Rick has some serious issues.
Odd ball question of the week
10. Jay-Z
Ebizz - With all the anticipation from fans in the world. Jay-z is set to release the Blueprint 3 September 11th. Will this album live up to Blueprint 1? or will this be another Kingdom Come? Lets pray for Blueprint 1 because anything else will be a big disappointment.
Professor D - I have heard a few of the songs that leaked, not too impressed. Maybe he is saving that heat for the album. We at least know two people that will love it...shout out to Big Bro and LT Smooth. lol

John Madden Retires
I'm deeply saddened that John Madden has decided to retire. John Madden has reached the one word status of pop culture. He was on the same level as Madonna, Cher, Jordan, Tiger, OJ, well you get the picture. All you had to say was Madden. Tuesday through Saturday, Madden simply meant a festive evening with a few of your closest male buddies, a lot of curse words, and sometimes hurt feelings and pockets. On Sunday, Madden was the preacher after church. He was the football gospel like never before. For that, Madden will truly be missed. Mostly, for the great words that he has added to our vocabulary.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4073253
Here's to the man that brought us the word Cankle, the phrase "No No Go Go", and excited us with "Boom!"....
Top John Madden quotes:
"When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to. "
"I think perhaps it's a relationship that's not marked by a great need to interfere with each other all the time, "
"They got to Joey Harrington physically and they got to him mentally."
"If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day."
"The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break."
"Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear."

Let's just hope they don't slide in somebody stupid like Troy Aikman.

The revolution will be digitized
On the brink of today's historical event in which the United States will elect a non-white citizen to serve as the 44th POTUS, I thought I would reflect from a distance. With the MLK Holiday yesterday, there was a lot of coverage about the comparisons between MLK and Obama, the journey to get to this point and also the road ahead. Up until now, in my opinion the most revered black American in US history may have been Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was universally loved by white and black, religious and political alike. When I was growing up, you were forced to hear the "I Have A Dream" speech followed by "We Shall Overcome" and other Negro spirituals in the event that one day, things may actually change. I didnt watch the MLK speech yesterday, but I watched alot of the other documentaries yesterday. A lot of perspectives were expressed about the 1st Black POTUS. Obama has a legacy before his term even starts. He also has one of the worst cleanups since the Exxon Valdez. Financially, morality, ethically, and religious issues will surely capture his immediate attention. But ultimately, I believe Obama's true test will be how he restores the image of the US to the world. If Obama rules with an iron first, he is sure to fail, and on the flip side, if he is too cool for school he will be pushed into decisions and take the blame unjustly. I believe Obama has already realized his popularity will possibly never be this high again. After his first hiccup (we all have at least one hiccup), the water cooler talk will be brutal. "I told you he was inexperienced" or "Maybe we weren't ready for a black man" or anything else that can be said, will be said. But as long as true supporters of America give Obama the same benefit of the doubt as past authorities, I think America will be better for it. When you don't have money, fame, food, or the best of health, one thing that you can count on is relationships. America has to build its relationships back, not only with its Allies and Enemies, but from within.
From MLK to Obama, roughly 40 years has passed. This nation has come a long way in a relatively short period of time. I can only imagine what it will be like in another 50 years. Total Recall...maybe. The Matrix....doubt it. But as a wise man once said, "The revolution will be televised."
