Lloyd Banks ft Juelz Santana - Beamer Benz Bentley (CDQ) | Audio | Rap Basement

I think Banks has a hit on his hands. I know the New York radios will be loving this one. I don't know about the rest of the country but we will see.

NFL Combine... What will the Ravens staff be looking at?

The annual NFL combine will begin this Saturday Feburary 27. This event gives scouts the opportunity to examine which players they should consider drafting and which ones they should not. The combine will be spread out over the course of four days.

The first day, and least exciting day, will present all of the Offensive Linemen and Tightends invited to this exhibition of talent. Sunday will be the day Wide Recievers, Quarterbacks and Running backs run through the drills.

Will the Ravens' scouts be watching closely this day, I quite sure they will but they also know that they need help in other areas. The defensive line needs to get younger and better at rushing the passer. This is why the scouts will come back the next day to see the defensive linemen and linebackers trying to impress scouts so they find an NFL home this spring.

The final day is the day of defensive backs. Lardarius Webb is hurt and may or may not come back the same physical player he was last semester. Fabian Washington is coming off of IR this offseason and may need some time to recover. This is why the Ravens have to keep an eye open for any cornerback bargains. The major factor in drafting a safety is Ed Reed. If he retires, someone has to come in a compete with Zbikowski for the spot right away whether it be through free agency or draft. If he does not they still need to look for a person of the future if Zbikowski does not workout.

Ravens fans need to remember that the team is not in need of players in just one position. Every season that passes is another physically-intense season for the players on the roster. Players get old and have to be replaced. This is why the draft is so important. Look out for which wide recievers, defensive linemen and defensive backs perform well at the combine. The players that do well there usually get moved up higher on team draft boards then those who do not perform well. Also remember that the best performers at the combine do not always pan out to be the best players on the field (namely Vernon Gholston).

Undertaker gets hit with his own fireballs while proceeding to the ring. As you watch you will see how he reacts. The word is going around that he was extremely perturbed at the pyro crew for the screw-up (and he should have been).

The next video from Ludacris' upcoming Battle of the Sexes album. The song is not as catchy as "How low" but it has a better video. Look at Nicki Minaj in this video. She looks fiesty with those claws on!

Ravens pull the trigger on Stallworth

The Ravens are taking a step out on the tight rope by signing Dante Stallworth to a one year deal. The Baltimore sports world has been buzzing about how much the Ravens need a wide reciever. This signing shows that the Ravens organization recognizes that just as much as the fans do.

Stallworth was a 2002 first round draft pick by the Saints. He was a part of the potent 2007 Patriots offense. One major reason he is not considered a major addition right now is because his production has been inconsistent over the course of his career. In his best season, Stallworth caught 71 balls for 945 yards in 2005 but in the 2008 regular season he only had 17 catches for 170 yards.

Oh but there is more. Let us not forget that he was suspended from the Nfl for the entire 2009 season and was sentenced to 30 days in jail, two years of house arrest and 1000 hours of community service.

This is good move for the Ravens only if Stallworth works hard to play his best and knock off some of the rust he will come to training camp with. If he comes to Baltimore with all the baggage of his past, he will be weighed down way too much to be an asset.

Is Usher Back?


I have been listening to quite a bit of Usher's new material lately and I must say some of it is pretty good. So why is he not building up Confessions-type momentum? Honestly I do not know the answer to that. I do know that Usher was on top of the music world for like 2 years because of that Confession album. Will this Raymond vs Raymond album do the same? No. But it will have plenty of people running to their local Best Buy and Target.

I was watching the slam dunk contest last weekend and when a commercial break came up guess who I saw. That's right Usher was dancing to and singing what seemed to be the theme song for the annual basketball festival called All Star Weekend. It seems like his label is getting him exposure and he has a spark but he just is not catching fire. The next single for his album is Daddy's Home featuring Plies. The song is good but the video is nothing special. We know that's how Usher really gets the fans' attention is through is various dancing videos (hence "Yeah"). Will the radio spin it to death, we'll see.

If Usher does not return to his R&B throne, someone new will take it because Chris Brown slapped his way off of that place. I am an Usher fan I wish the best for him but he and everyone else knows that if he comes out with another album it must be better than Here I Stand.
