OK, here goes...

EV- So who you picking in the NBA Finlas between the Boston Celtics and LA Lakers? And why?

RR- As much as it hurts to say, I'm going Celtics in 6. Fisher is too old to contain Rondo. But the biggest advantage will be the Celtics size against Pau Gasol and the rest of the Lakers front court. Andrew Bynum isn't 100% and can anyone trust Lamar Odom's decision making? I mean he picked the wrong Kardashian sister, he has no credibility. But if the Lakers are going to win this series Ron Artest will have to play the way he did in Game 6 versus the Suns

EV- How will Tiger Woods fair at the 2010 Memorial Tournament and how will his early exit from the Players championship affect him mentally?

RR-I think we are in the midst of the Fall of Tiger.. Ive seen him quit in his last 2 events, something I never thought I'd see from Tiger Woods. Too much going on right now in his personal life. I hope I'm wrong, because we all know that Phil Mickelson is NOT must see TV.

EV- New York/New Jersey Super Bowl in 2014 as voted by the owners and supported by Commissioner Roger Goodell is official. Love it or hate it? And why?

RR- Hate it!!! When I picture my Super Bowl I want nice sunny weather or a beautiful domed stadium, not a Super Bowl in a potential blizzard. This is the worst decision so far by the Warden aka Commissioner Goodell. If we end up with 2 quarterbacks that throw for over 4,000 yards, and end up watching a Super Bowl with over 60 hand offs due to blizzard like conditions, then Warden Goodell should suspend himself 8 games

EV- Do you think Lance Armstrong has lost public support since being accused of blood doping by Floyd Landis?

RR- You know this is a tough one. Is Lance dirty, or is he good at not being caught?? I wanna believe he's clean, but I'm thinking more and more that where there's smoke there's fire.

EV- Yuri Foreman will defend his WBA Junior middleweight title against Miguel Cotto at the new Yankee Stadium, the first Boxing event held at Yankee Stadium (New or Old) since Muhammad Ali defeated Ken Norton September 28, 1976. Good or bad for boxing? And is boxing making a comeback?

RR- Bad. No one watches boxing anymore..There is only one fight, the world wants to see and if his name isn't Pac-man or Mayweather, then its sad to say no one will really pay attention. I'm not sure this will even come close to a sell-out. Please Pac-Man and Floyd, come to an agreement and try and save boxing. UFC has taken over!

EV- Ken Griffey Jr. retired after 22 Major league seasons. How will ''The Kid'' be remembered?

RR- Ken Griffey Jr. use to be one of my favorite players, until he left Seattle and joined the Reds. After that his career just fell apart with injury after injury. He still has the smoothest swing Ive ever seen, and I wish he would have ended his career breaking the All-Time Home run record, rather than falling asleep in his rocking chair in the locker room.

EV- Detroit Tiger pitcher Armando Galarraga was seemingly robbed of a perfect game on a close but later obvious out called safe by umpire Jim Joyce that cost him a perfect game. Does baseball need to re-look at the replay rule for calls other than Home runs?

RR- Yes. Why must baseball drag their feet on this?? Go ahead with replay, it could only help the game. How bad is it that a kid looses his perfect game by an umpire who's as blind as a bat?? Even Tim Donaghy would have called him out. A complete disgrace. Its 2010 MLB, get with the program!!

EV- Jose Canseco is preparing to take the stand and defend Roger Clemens claim of never using HGH. Does Canseco have the credibility to take him at his word regarding Clemens?

RR- I think you have to listen to Canseco. I mean, he really hasn't been wrong about anyone yet. I think Roger just needs to come clean, we know your dirty Roger. Mike Piazza knows your dirty, with your roid rage throwing the bat at him!

EV- Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and other big name free agents plan to have a sit down to decide their basketball futures. You expecting major movement this off season or is this just leverage for stars to stay put and get max deals?

RR- There will be some movement this off season, but not as much as most think. Bron will stay in Cleveland. Wade will stay in Miami, and Bosh will look for a sign and trade so he can get the max contract. I'm looking at Miami being the big winners with getting Wade, Boozer, and Joe Johnson.(That might be the homer in me) Knicks will end up with Amare. Bosh ends up in L.A.

EV- Ben Roethlisberger returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers OTA's this past week. Is his presence good or bad for the Steelers, who are preparing to play the next 4 possibly 6 games without him?

RR- Big Ben's presence should help. But the Steelers need to figure out who their Quarterback will be. I mean Bryon Leftwhich, Charlie Batch, and Dennis Dixon don't make my toes tingle. And Big Ben needs to go to the Big Boy nightclubs and hit on WOMEN, not college girls. I mean you make over 100 million Big Ben, you don't even need a pickup line. He must have no game whatsoever. Pay me Big Ben and ill help you!
