In basketball terms Beamer Benz or Bentley will now be referred to as Lebron, Kobe or Kevin, as in Kevin Durant. After having now watched this kid play this season he is hands down the third best player in the league (Sorry D Wade, Melo and Dwight). If you haven't had the chance to see what this kid does on a basketball court night in and night out you are really missing out.
Durant is averaging roughly 30 pts/game, 8 rebs, 3 assts, 2 steals and a block shot on top of the fact he will now be bringing the OKC Thunder to their first ever playoff birth. This kid is a beast out there, you give him the ball and he scores period. If you look side to side at his stats vs LBJ's you can see how good he is, they have identical stats per game with Lebron dishing out 5 more assists per while Durant shoots 90% from the free throw line compared to LBJ's 74%.
Kobe who is averaging slightly lower in every category than both LBJ & Durant has the excuse that his team is much more talented. In my opinion, you throw LBJ or Durant on the Lakers they are as good if not better than the Lakers are with Kobe.
Anyway the point is taking all factors into consideration (including age) if I was starting an NBA team right now other than Lebron, Durant would be the player I would build my franchise around. He is a 6'9", 215 lbs. scoring machine, who rebounds and plays more defense than the usual power scorer.
I'll tell you right now if the Knicks can't land Lebron this offseason I wouldn't mind waiting until 2011 when Durant becomes a free agent, watching this kid light up the Garden would be almost as good as Lebron (I am not even joking).
P.S. The Blazers seem to always fuck up the draft, they take Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan and now they miss out on Durant by taking Greg Oden who may be the biggest hyped up bust in NBA history.

It's a Hard Knock's Life
HBO has now officially announced that the NY JETS will be this year's team featured on their hit series "HARD KNOCKS" and I am absolutely pumped about this. I don't wanna hear any fuckin nonsense about this having any negative effects on this team.
First off, what group of characters will make for better television than Bart Scott & Calvin Pace (The Bash Brothers), Antonio Cromarte(The Ladies Man), Braylon Edwards(I beat up Lebron James Boy and Lebron Ain't Gon Do Shit About It),Kris Jenkins(Chocolate Love), Mark Sanchez(Mr. GQ), Darelle Revis(The Human Blanket), Ladanian Tomlinson(The Wash Up) and none other then the Head Coach Rex Ryan(The Anti-Bellichick). We could keep going because that is how awesome the personalities are on this team.
Make no doubt about it, NFL players and fans will grow to absolutely despise this team after this show airs, but that's what this JETS team is all about. They aren't the good old GIANTS or the tight ass Patriots, they have a new found swagger that was brought in here by their head coach and they are gonna let the league know that last year was no fluke.
For all the people who think this is bad for them to do because it is going to distract them during training camp and blahh blahh blahhh, just shut the fuck up (yea Francessa I am talking to you, I told you in my first post ever when you piss me off I am coming after you). Players don't even go to training camp half the time nowadays anyway, Michael Strahan admitted too holding out over contracts just so he could miss them.
All I know is that come August I am preparing myself for the greatest hour of Television with Hard Knocks: NY JETS followed by Entourage (hasn't been a better hour of TV since Sopranos/Entourage teamed up back in the day).
This team just gets better and better with the shit they are doing and I think this morning I was awoken by Brandon Marshall's teeth shining thru my window from his smile when he heard the JETS signed on to do Hard Knocks because he might be there after Draft Day.

Obviously the NETS suck they are from Jersey
So last night a New Jersey Nets fan got into a bit of a verbal altercation with the CEO of the NJ NETS Brett Yormark for showing up to a game wearing this on his head.. 
Now I almost confused this picture with the 29 people who showed up to the METS last game at Citi Field last season but then I knew this idiot was not from New York because everyone knows you need to cut a mouth hole or else you can't fuckin breathe (typical Jersey sleezer, most likely ski's in his jeans too).
Anyways, supposedly word on the street (ESPN article) was that toward the end of another NETS loss, CEO Brett Yormark asked the fan "Why are you wearing that?" and he responded by saying "because the Nets are so good". Following that Yormark gets all pissy and starts jabbing back and fourth with the fan.
First off is this prick Yormark kidding me, you are 7-63 and if you don't win 2 more games in your final 11 games (which will not happen) you will break the record for the least amount of wins in a season since the 1972-1973 76ers and you start yelling at the idiot who actually paid to come watch this disaster play. On top of that your franchise player looks and talks like Lurch from the Addams Family.
All I know is that things have hit rock bottom for the Nets. They need to pray this Russian billionaire gets approved to buy this team and they move their asses to Brooklyn, even the Jersey Shore cast knew NJ was to big of a dump that they demanded their next season be moved to another location.
So Mr. Yormark do what is right now and cut this man a mouth hole for christ sakes and after doing so put that bag on your head and get ready to get on your knees so you can....
kiss this man's feet for even showing up.

Revive the Storm!!
Law School awaits me this coming fall, so to prep myself for the glory days of a first year law student which consist of endless hours of reading and studying constitutional law, torts and civil procedure I try and look at the bright side of my potential future as a GM for a professional sports team. So today I am going to throw on my hat of St. John’s University Athletic Director Chris Monasch who today FINALLY fired Norm Roberts who has been the Johnnie’s head coach for the past six dreadful seasons.
Now being a big time college basketball fan and living in the Mecca of Basketball (New York) it makes me depressed at how bad the Red Storm are, I mean how are they not signing these kids from Brooklyn or the Bronx to come play ball for them. They have the chance to rip it up at the Garden and take over a city that would root for them harder than Phil Mickelson was when Tiger was getting dropped by all of his sponsors. The problem is, who the hell wants to play for Norm Roberts. Bring in a top notch coach and St. John’s can bring back a little of the glory days when they use to be able to recruit NBA caliber talent such as Chris Mullen and Mark Jackson in the 80’s to the late 90’s and early 2000’s when they had Ron Artest, Eric Barkley and Marcus Hatten going pound for pound with the Dukies at Cameron Indoor.
So what I am going to do here is let Mr. Monasch in on some of the potential coaches that can revive this program which has followed a similar path the Knicks have this past decade, and that is finding every possibly scenario NOT to win. So let the negotiations begin.
Most logical choice is to rip Rick Pitino out of Louisville. He has that New York connection and is one of the most high profile coaches in the country. He was able to bring in All American players to a school that is like the little brother getting hand me downs from Kentucky, so imagine what he can get to come to the Johnnie’s with all he can offer. Another coach at the top of my list is to convince Bob Knight to jump out from the ESPN broadcasting booth and make his return to college hoops. Imagine one of the all time winningest coaches bringing that intensity to the Garden, hell I might even want the whackjob to do double duty and bring that shit to the Knicks. Just look at what this guy is like…
Other coaches that top my list are Billy Donovan (Florida), Bruce Pearl (Tennessee) and Bob Huggins (West Virginia)
It is time for New York basketball to step it up. I am embarrassed, and the Johnnie’s are no different than the Knicks, you have the best talent in the country hooping it up every day in the school yards and they are bouncing to go play at schools in bumblefuck. Time for the Red Storm to make some noise, so I hope you read this Mr. Monasch because without a big name coach you can kiss your job goodbye.

Tiger, Tiger Wood's Ya'll
Ever since this whole hoopla started back on Thanksgiving with Tiger Wood’s the only thing I personally cared about was him getting back on the golf course. Now that day has finally come with Tiger announcing yesterday that he will make his return at the Master’s (like the whole world didn’t know he was coming back for the biggest tournament of the whole year).
First off let’s get this straight here, what Tiger Wood’s did was wrong from a moral standpoint and is something that I do not condone a husband doing to his wife but how the media persecuted him for what he had done was in my mind completely ridiculous. There have been plenty of other high profile sports figures/celebrities who have committed far worse acts then Tiger (for example Donte Stallworth killed a human being while drunk driving and served 24 days in prison and is now back and making millions playing football in less then a year).
I know Tiger is Tiger and he is bigger then the game of golf itself, which was proven when the biggest story outside of Tiger’s sexcapades was Phil Mickelson using a 1950 Ping Wedge that allowed him to put some more spin on the ball coming out of the ruff , I mean are you kidding me with that being the lead story for opening week of your season (the PGA TOUR might as well blow Tiger now too because if he wasn’t planning on coming back they might as well have cancelled the year).
What I am trying to say is that I still will root for Tiger because from a pure sports fans perspective I am all for greatness and that is what he is. I want to be able to say one day that I watched the greatest golfer of all time dominate the sport of golf like no one has ever dominated a sport before (possibly Roger Federer fits in here). If he keeps hitting shots like this one, even the most rebellious group of people will be forced to give in and watch the mere perfection he portrays out on the golf course.
All I know is for what has gone on in Tiger’s personal life and the fact that he has not played a professional round of golf in almost a year makes it even more sick that he is still the favorite to win, this is not like he is coming back to some dinky little tourney where half the field doesn’t participate, this is the biggest major in the sport. All of the big dogs who have been playing all season will be gunning for the green jacket and yet until this incident has proven to impact Tiger’s game you CANNOT doubt the fact he is still the best.
You can bet your ass that when Tiger throws on his Red Nike Shirt Sunday at the Master’s and the possibility of him winning is within reach people will turn in because that is just how we are.

The Most Wondeful Time of the Year
For all of you followers across America today marks the day of the best month of sports in the history of the universe, anchored by none other than the NCAA March Madness Tournament (you also have MLB Opening Day, NBA/NHL PLAYOFFS on the horizon and the NFL DRAFT). Anyway, this is by far the greatest tournament ever created alongside the National Arm Wrestling Championships held every year on ESPN. I mean what two days of sports are better than this Thursday and Friday when you have 48 hours of non-stop basketball where some of the greatest sports moments happen, shit is making me tear up thinking of Vermont repeating their upset over Syracuse from a few years ago or last year when Scottie Reynolds hit this buzzer beater to send Nova to the Final Four.
Anyway since I am the King of March Madness and am the only person EVER to win the Berka NCAA Tournament Challenge two years in a row my picks are worth Gold, so read carefully and I may actually win you some money. So let’s get down to business.
Upsets that I am looking at in the first round are Siena over Purdue, Utah State over Texas A&M and Minnesota over Xavier. As the tourney goes on I think that Siena will be the Cinderella with their experienced squad and make a run into the Sweet 16. Notre Dame has come on strong the last few weeks and I think they will carry that over into the tourney.
As for my Final Four, I have Kansas, Nova, Cuse and Kentucky. Yes, it’s not very ballsy but I am not here to fuck around, I want to win some money. So take it or leave it but I am sure some who read this are unemployed and I am pretty much handing you over free money that you most likely could use.
Gotta take off now though, 4Skins have the biggest flag football game in our short history and we plan on bringing some Willie Beamen swagger babyyy…woooooo!!!!!

LT to the J-E-T-S!!!
Breaking News at BlackCawfee is usually 3 hours late so I am right on time, LADANIAN TOMLISON IS A NY JET!!
Yes we all know LT is not what he once was but why not bring him in here. He is a perfect fit for a #3 RB to play behind Shonn Green and Leon Washington and with this offensive line, who knows he might make a little career ending resurgence and actually make a bit of an impact.
But what I would like to point out that the sports media world has not, is the Tomlison/Patriots rivalry. Outside of the AFC East, Ladanian Tomlison has the most hatred for Bill Bilichick and crew. No one can downgrade how great LT has been as a player throughout his career but one can say what poor playoff performances he has had, with the worst coming against the PATS 3 times. So I think that LT is coming in here with a bit of a chip on his shoulder and knows that with what the JETS have brewing this is his chance to break away from that one aspect of his career that has casted a black cloud over his head.
All I know is that there is a buzz about NY JETS FOOTBALL and I am eating this shit up.

Level 5 Pissed Off!!!!!!
I can now fully relate to men who want absolutely no part of their marriage anymore but don't take the plunge and get a divorce because that is exactly how my relationship with the Mess, I mean METS has become.
Today the METS released a statement that Jose Reyes has an Overactive Thyroid and will be out between two and eight weeks. Honestly, what the fuck does an Overactive Thyroid have to do with him being able to play and worst of all who the hell gives a time frame of two weeks to TWO MONTHS. That is like saying he may be back for Opening Day or we might not see him until the All-Star break.
This team is fucked about ten different ways. Between Beltran having knee surgery which the Mets didn't even know about, to freakin Oli Perez and Luis Castillo still being apart of this team and now Reyes going down you might as well ship Sanatana to Philly this year and put him out of his misery.
All I know is that after this debacle that has occurred I am announcing officially my boycott of the 2010 MLB SEASON. I am throwing in the towel like Rocky should have done before Ivan Drago dropped Apollo Creed in Rocky IV and killed him. Just look at this video, I can't take a beating like this. I have the hopes of a JETS Super Bowl run and Lebron coming to the KNICKS, I refuse to allow the METS to be the demise of my enjoyment of sports anymore.
The actuality is though that this is all bitterness because why isn't it that the godforsaken Yankees or the Phillies have injuries like the METS or sign untalented players like the METS, oh wait that is because they are not the METS. But I guaranfreakintee that now that I am officially swearing off the 2010 MLB SEASON the NY METS will win the World Series and my love/hate relationship will continue on for the next 60 years.

UCONN WOMEN'S BBALL..WTF?
So last night the UCONN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL team won their 71st consecutive game to break their own previous consecutive games winning streak of 70...whoa whoa whoa, what the fuck am I doing, Black Cawfee talks about real sports not women's college basketball. Sorry about that.
Today's topic is none other then Allen Iverson. Reports have been released that AI is going through some serious drinking and gambling problems. I mean I didn't think that was something that we all didn't know about. At least 99.9% of NBA players have a drinking and/or gambling problem with the only player in the league who doesn't being none other than Brian Scalabrine (just look at him).
AI has always been the center of controversy and no matter what this guy does he never gets the basketball credit that he deserves. So that's what I am going to be doing here today. Let's just start with some of Iverson's accomplishments over the course of his Hall of Fame NBA career; 00-01 NBA MVP, 1997 Rookie of the Year, 11x NBA All Star, 2x NBA All Star Gme MVP, 4x NBA scoring Champ and 3x NBA All First Team and on top of that he took a 76ers team to an NBA FINALS where his only help was Dikembe Mutombo, which in my opinion isn't saying much.
AI dominated when he played. Each and every night this guy would drop 30 on you and make your best defender feel like he didn't belong in the NBA. I mean who could ever forget young AI schooling the shit out of MJ with the most dirty cross over of all time. This is probably the only time in MJ's whole NBA career where you can say he looked like a deer in headlights trying to cover AI. (if you don't remember or will be too lazy to YOUTUBE it after reading this here it is)
All I know is that AI is going to go down as one of the best players of my generation and possbily be in the mix as one of the all time pure scorers the NBA has ever seen. This guy went out there and gave it his all and I don't think it's right for people to be bashing his legacy for the mere fact the guy likes to drink and gamble, he earned it. IVERSON didn't even like to talk about practice let alone actually go to practice and look what type of career he had.
So drink up AI because you've had one hell of a career.
(P.S. Yo AI if you stumble across this today, let me know what you think of the Lakers giving 11 to the Raptors tonight?)

NFL Offseason Bonanza!!
No offseason has more action in 3 days then in the NFL. As soon as the free agency period opened up at 12 midnight on Friday, NFL GM's everywhere went on a shooting spree wrangling up free agents and making trades for prominent players around the league.
First, I start off with the Chicago Bears, because having spent this past weekend with TE GREG OLSEN at a wedding in Florida I knew before even John Clayton and Chris Mortenson did on what DA BEARS! were doing (that's a lie, I didn't appraoch him because I am not 10 years old and I also didn't want to look like a loser in front of his smokin' hot wife who is pictured below).
But I digress. The Bears got the second best pass rusher in the league in my opinion behind Dwight Freeney, in Julius Peppers and a solid #2 RB in Chester Taylor to go along with Matt Forte (who I might add is the fastest person in the history of fantasy football to go from a top five pick to where he shouldn't even sniff the top 5 fuckin rounds this year).
The Dolphins snagged LB Carlos Dansby from the Cardinals, which there is no chance in gods name this guy is worth 5 years, $43 mil with $22 mil guaranteed, but since I hate this franchise with such a passion it puts a huge smile on my face when I get the chance to see Leon Washington break this pricks ankles when he tries to tackle him in the open field.
Moving onto the two big dogs, the JETS and GIANTS. Starting with the G-MEN what a move they make signing Antrel Rolle, I love it actually, between him and Kenny Phillips bringing the swagger from "THE U" into this backfield is something they desperately needed. I have to say a healthy Giants defensive backfield is something NFC East teams should be scared of. Now as for the JETS acquiring Antonio Cromartie and his 29 kids with 30 women I LOVE ITTTTT!! First off Kudos Mr. T on bringing in a 26 year old stud corner (for a 3rd round pick, STEAL) who wanted no part of SAN DIEGO anymore and pair him with the best corner in the league. I mean other then Asomugha, Cromartie was at the top of my list in terms of a great combo with Revis. Also for the fact that the JETS ponied up $500k to settle these child support suits hanging over Cromartie's head so he can concentrate on winning Super Bowl's, hell for all I care if Cromartie brings his A game here to NY when it is time to renew his contract Woody Johnson can throw in a lifetime supply of all Johnson & Johnson products for the future baby Cromartie's that are sure to pop up with him creeping around NYC.
And for the best deal I thought made, was the addition of Anquan Boldin to the Ravens. With them recently bringing back Donte Stallworth and giving up two mid-round draft picks for a 29 year old legit offensive threat has given Flacco two big time receivers who are both hungry to prove themselves in their respective ways, I definitely think this will pay off huge dividends for them this year.
Now let's see where Ladanian, T.O., Thomas Jones and Westbrook will end up?
My guess LT-Texans, T.O.-Jacksonville, Thomas Jones- San Diego and Westbrook- NY JETS.
First, I start off with the Chicago Bears, because having spent this past weekend with TE GREG OLSEN at a wedding in Florida I knew before even John Clayton and Chris Mortenson did on what DA BEARS! were doing (that's a lie, I didn't appraoch him because I am not 10 years old and I also didn't want to look like a loser in front of his smokin' hot wife who is pictured below).
But I digress. The Bears got the second best pass rusher in the league in my opinion behind Dwight Freeney, in Julius Peppers and a solid #2 RB in Chester Taylor to go along with Matt Forte (who I might add is the fastest person in the history of fantasy football to go from a top five pick to where he shouldn't even sniff the top 5 fuckin rounds this year).
The Dolphins snagged LB Carlos Dansby from the Cardinals, which there is no chance in gods name this guy is worth 5 years, $43 mil with $22 mil guaranteed, but since I hate this franchise with such a passion it puts a huge smile on my face when I get the chance to see Leon Washington break this pricks ankles when he tries to tackle him in the open field.

#6 to the BIG APPLE
Lebron James filed today to have his jersey number switched from 23 to 6 for the 2010-2011 NBA Season. Lebron has been quoted as saying that he is doing this because he believes that 23 should be retired by the NBA in honor of Michael Jordan. I quite frankly think this is the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard. This is Lebron flat out saying I am coming to New York.
What is the point of him changing his number seven years into his already Hall of Fame NBA career? Because he knows when he wins in New York people will call him the other #23. Who wants to have the same number as the one person’s legacy that you are trying to out do. I mean Lebron coming to the KNICKS next year is bigger then Jesus Shuttlesworth announcing in “He Got Game” that he was going to Big State. (I mean you think Jesus was the man in that movie, I can't even write in words what Lebron is going to be here in NYC)
Lebron is meant for this city. Guy is flat out a born business man. He knows that Cleveland is not the place where he will be regarded for his greatness as much as New York will. Jordan did it in Chicago and Kobe is doing it in LA, those are huge markets. Lebron knows that he has the chance to take the MECCA OF BASKETBALL and bring it back to life.
Rewind 10 years ago and KNICKS basketball might have had a bigger following then the Yankees. I mean what was bigger then Knicks/Heat or Knicks/Pacers back then. LJ's 4-Point Play, Jeff Van Gundy hanging onto Alonzo Mourning's leg and Allan Houston's game winner in Game 5 at Miami is a moment I will never forgot (check it out)
Here in New York we have the luxury of choosing between the Yankees/Mets, Jets/Giants and Islanders/Rangers but we have ONE basketball team (the NETS don't fucking count so save it). Lebron James would ignite the flame of 10 million hungry basketball fans and if you don't think King James knows that then you just keep on believing he is changing his number out of respect for MJ.
Only 120 days, 7 hours, 10 mins, 8 seconds until LBJ becomes a NEW YORK KNICK!!

Sayonara Thomas Jones
So today the NY JETS (un)officially cut ties with RB Thomas Jones after 3 seasons with Gang Green. When TJ came to the JETS I wouldn't say I jumped for joy like I did when C Mart signed here as a free agent but nonetheless I was happy with the upgrade. All and all Jones had a decent run here. He scored a mind boggling 1 TD his first year here in New York but bounced back with two very solid years in 2008 and 2009.
But we all knew that when Shonn Greene arrived the last few weeks of the year and into the playoffs and with Leon Washington returning from his broken leg, time was running out for TJ's run with the JETS.
With biceps the fucking size of watermelons and on top of that he is, as the cast of Jersey Shore would say SMUSHING Meagan Good, I'd say you'll see TJ in a new uni in the very near future.
Sorry for the short one tonight, big flag football game now...
But can't leave you without this video of TJ truck sticking the shit out of a Miami Dolphin.
