Sure Gilbert Arenas runs his mouth at times....but
for the most part, it's all in good fun.
(And yes, I've been frustrated at this "fun") But what's wrong with garnering more attention and creating a spirited rivalry between two cities/teams? We'll be hearing about this next season when the Washington Wizards face off against the Milwaukee Bucks.
During Gilbert Arenas’ press conference on Tuesday, Washington
Wizards owner Abe Pollin talked about how important it
was to have Arenas back, Team President Ernie Grunfeld talked about the challenges in negotiating with Arenas without an agent, while Arenas talked about his offseason and then made bold predictions about the upcoming season. Click here to listen to this press ...

Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog was
at the press conference announcing Gilbert Arenas's new contract.
Most of the talk, reports Steinberg, was disappointingly bland, in keeping with a new Arenas promise to grow up somewhat, with his big new ...
You have to a love it when a
guy gets a standing ovation for signing his name
to a $111 million contract. That's what happened at today's Gilbert Arenas "press" conference. In reality, it was a few reporters/media types and then a bunch of employees ...
From today's event. (By Preston Keres - TWP)
Naturally, I asked Gilbert Arenas this afternoon how many
coin flips it had taken for him to decide to stay in D.C. "Actually, I didn't pull out the magic infamous coin in this negotiation," he said. "It ...
As Dan pointed out this morning , Gilbert's
press conference for his new contract is happening today.
When he did his press conference the first time around, he made the bold prediction that the Wizards would make the playoffs. It ...
Draft pick JaVale McGee, who has looked solid
in summer league but not dominant, should be their
primary post signing, but one more couldn’t hurt. They could also use a back up for Caron Butler, but that be asking for a lot to get both. To that end, here’s a list of potential free agents that could improve the Wizards chances at advancing through the 2008-09 NBA Playoffs.
(2003 photo by Charles Dharapak - AP) I
know, right? Hard to imagine that's what five years
ago looked like. And today, of course, is the day that Gilbert meets the media again, to once again discuss signing a massive deal with the Wizards. I had also ...

I was sad to read last week that
William Petersen aka Gil Grissom is leaving CSI. Here
are current and former NBA coaches that look and act the part and could take over for the vacated Grissom.
I don’t know who I even thought I
was kidding yesterday when I mentioned Corey Maggette taking
less money to play with a contender. Who did I think he was? Gilbert Arenas? But with the dust settling, it looks like Maggette will suit up this season in Oakland where he will be running along side Monta Ellis, Captain Jack and the rest of the Warriors. Baron ...

Gilbert Arenas really slapped the city(?) of Milwaukee
around in his post this week at NBA.com. Well,
bless the Charles F. Gardner's sweet heart for trying to justify the town as...well, "not so bad" and that some players like it there...they really like it there!
For N.B.A. players making their first visit to
the Philippines, the adoration of fans here can be
both flattering and startling. Recently, Gilbert Arenas got to experience this. >
Remember a while back when Gilbert Arenas was
thinking about not blogging anymore? Contrary to what we
all believed, it appeared that he didn't enjoy all the attention from the media he received when he said something that was perceived to be wacky ...
Following a workout in Washington last Friday, Etan
Thomas talked with the media about when he was
given full medical clearance to return to the court, how it felt to be back on the court with his teammates, his thoughts on Nick Young’s progression from this time last year, his take on Washington re-signing Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison this summer as well as a host of other topics. ...

by Marcel Mutoni Due to his easy-going personality
and refreshing candor, to say nothing of his talents,
Gilbert Arenas is one of the more popular players in the entire League. Don’t tell that to anyone living in Milwaukee, though. ...
Gilbert updated his blog yesterday to discuss his
world tour and stopped in Spain and visited Barcelona.
He had this to say about Spain and .... well ..... Jose.
Washington Wizards fans may never realize the importance
of the summer of 2008, or, I should say,
how crucial it's been to have a GM like Ernie Grunfeld at the helm with the direction of the franchise on the line. Whether you agree with it or not, the ...

Agent Zero has no love for the city
of Milwaukee. Et tu, Gilbert?
A friend of the site, who works at
an outdoors-store in the DC-area, had a high-profile blogger/NBA
player come in today: Gilbert Arenas. What did Gil want? -- naturally, a bike that will allow him to go "as fast as possible."
Sports blogging legend Gilbert Arenas comes out of
retirement with a missive about his Adidas tour blah
blah blah LOOK WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIS EX-TEAMMATE SIGNING WITH MILWAUKEE (emphasis mine): Richard Jefferson going to Milwaukee …. HAHAHA! Oh man, now that is funny. When I heard that, I started laughing. Oh man, did I start laughing. You know why? Because every player hates Milwaukee. ...
Look who came out of blog retirement !
For the first time in over two months, Gilbert
has a new entry in his blog. Surprisingly, he doesn’t spend much time talking about his new contract. Instead, most of it focuses on his tour overseas, where he learned quite a bit. Here’s a sample of what he learned in the different places that he traveled to. Shanghai & Beijing: ...

to remain a Washington Wizard. Wizards fans, go ahead and renew your tickets. We got the team back, we're going to be healthy and I don't know what the slogan is for ...
There’s a lot of other things he can’t
control that greatly affect how the Wizards will fare
in the coming years. Here’s a few things that weren’t written into the scope of Gilbert Arenas’ contract, and shouldn’t be his responsibility if they fall apart.
In typical fashion, right after I posted about
this year's summer league team the Wizards announce that
one more player has been added to the team . Since the last thing we want to do is leave you in the dark, here's some info on the last ...
