Biography
With the graduation of Korber in 2005, Eli “Black Man” Blackman became the E-Men’s resident minority. (Asian’s don’t count…it’s Ultimate.) He is a walking Napster, able to cite the hottest new hip-hop singles and which mediocre musician was featured. It’s encouraging that in this day and age, he and Jewish life partner and co-captain Dan “Streaks” Resnick found a way to make their interracial relationship work. (I think it started that time they were caught strolling the sandy beaches of Georgia collecting seashells as freshmen.)

With (literally) a bounce in his step, and not a hair on his face to create drag, Eli can burn any scrub out there. His calm demeanor lulls his opponents to sleep, as well as the aforementioned Streaks, who eerily keeps his eyes open when passed out. (I had to mention it—it’s fuckin’ freaky.) But despite his laissez-faire attitude, Eli’s prescience as a TEAM leader can be felt on an off the field. Keep an eye out for Blackman, because as you’re trying to decipher his “duhs”, he’ll be twenty yards behind you muttering, “duh… GOAL”.
