Paul Simon sang these words a long Frickin time ago and they are still Frickin just as true today as when he wrote them; “Still a man hears what he wants to hear. And disregards the rest.” No greater proof of that is going on with all the Frickin lemmings in the media who are trying to make a Frickin story out of something that in fact is a Frickin fantasy. And this past Frickin week if it did not hit its Frickin peak then New York Vinnie just may stop watching half-time shows on National TV NBA broadcasts.

This was the week that was; the week that reigning NBA MVP and Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star forward LeBron James came to New York Vinnie’s home town New York City. You would not be this far down in this column unless you were Frickin aware that “The Chosen One” can opt out of his contract at the end of this season and test the Free Agent waters. Now most of the talk has centered around LBJ coming to MSG and playing for “MY BOYS” the New York Knicks. However the New Jersey Nets have also been mentioned quite a bit as have a couple of real Frickin oddball choices.

Let’s go those Frickin oddball choices first off; one of them came in the beginning of the week as Sam Smith a journalist who has covered the NBA for years and a guy New York Vinnie has always respected came up with this Frickin whacked idea. Smith wrote about the possibility of LeBron going to the Los Angeles Lakers which is just totally Frickin ridiculous. The only way that could happen is if the Cavaliers were to work out a sign and trade for Ron Artest or Lamar Odom. New York Vinnie has a greater chance of being elected President than that Frickin happening.

That is bad enough but Thursday night on “TNT” as they were broadcasting the Chicago Bulls beating the Cavaliers; analyst Reggie Miller brought it up during the game. Now after he brought it up he Frickin ridiculed it so why did he even mention it and give it more Frickin exposure and credibility.

Friday night the Cavaliers were in MSG and just Frickin walloped “MY BOYS.”  Through out the Frickin game the guys broadcasting the game on “ESPN“ kept talking about James coming to MSG or going to play for the Nets. Then they get to the Frickin half time show and former Mavericks coach Avery Johnson brings the Frickin Houston Rockets into the mix! Even every body on the Frickin panel laughed at that one.

Look New York Vinnie has been telling you since the summer James is going to stay with the Cavaliers. They have a team they don’t have to wait five Frickin years like “MY BOYS” or the Nets do. If you watched the Knicks play the Cavaliers Friday night you know how bad they are. If you watched the Nets play the Celtics Saturday night on “YES” then you saw bad the Nets are. If we as fans realize this what makes you think that LBJ who knows so much about the game and the NBA does not? That is just Frickin stupid!

So the next time some Moron comes on the Frickin TV and talks about LeBron James going here there and Frickin everywhere remember what Your Old Pal New York Vinnie keeps telling you. LeBron James will be playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers next season!
