Even though we’re in a state of “this damn economy”, we can rest comfortably that there’s always an NBA player willing to implement his own mini-stimulus package to consumerism … such as Gilbert Arenas and his need to purchase a refrigerator and microwave for one day. And this took place in Michigan, which has recently fallen on hard times … so more kudos to Gil.
How do we know about all this? Why, the Twitter account of one @bigdaddywookie aka JaVale McGee.

Now, some were calling it ‘rookie hazing’ … but JaVale will be the first to tell you, he ain’t no rook.

It started sometime in the hour of three o’clock pm on Thursday when Mike Jones of the Washington Times (@sptswrtrjones) tweeted, “Arenas watched two scrimmages this afternoon. Jogging with a slight hint of a limp.”
Uh oh.
My first intuition was to not push the panic button. If Wizards fans are approaching the 2009-10 season as a whole with guarded optimism, then they’re probably guarding optimism surrounding Arenas’ knee more than Avon Barksdale’s crew guards the stash house.
Including reports that Arenas sat out of Wednesday evening’s scrimmages to “rest,” Flip Saunders has maintained that his absence is because he recently aggravated a dislocated finger on his left hand that initially occurred about two weeks ago.

At first Gilbert Arenas wasn’t going to vote….then he changed his mind, got tatted, and blogged it out.
Change is good, but why did Gilbert Arenas really vote for Barack Obama? Well, I will tell you (via theory).
Barack Obama’s Presidency has the science community giddy because he has promised to end the ban on federal funding for stem cell research.
Yesterday, Britain’s Weekly Telegraph came out with an article, “Knee injuries could be healed by ‘living bandage’ made from stem cells.” Here’s an excerpt:

Gilbert Arenas is a good guy who means well, but he still remains ignorant to the potential influence of his self-proclaimed marketing savvy.
Back in August, Gilbert blogged that he would essentially rather die than vote…..conveying a disheartening state of confusion about whether a vote counted or not, and admitting that he wasn’t even registered to vote because he didn’t want jury duty. No one laughed.
Arenas then reiterated his anti-voting sediment in late October. Still no chuckle. Thankfully, the pretend “Black President” is more side-show than influential subject. America’s youth disregarded absurd negative associations with the right to vote and their voice was heard.
Lo and behold, Barack Obama gets elected POTUS and people are celebrating in the streets. All of a sudden, Gil is registered to vote, getting the Obama family portrait painted on a wall in his home, and tattooing tributes to the President elect’s message of change on his digits. Gilbert, I thought your knee was hurting…..how were you able to catch up to the bandwagon so quick?
Michael Lee of the Washington Post wrote: Arenas said on Saturday that his previous comments about not voting because he was afraid of having higher taxes were “a joke that nobody got.”

Links I like from the past week or so……
- Pat Forde of ESPN.com writes a pretty nice article about New Orleans and the continuing recovery process (pre-BCS national championship game). I hope that NOLA continues to receive media coverage…..anything to further assist the rebuilding.
- Have you ever wondered what a wad of cash looks like spread all over the floor of a Virginia Tech football player’s abode….err…. the dwelling of a “friend”? — thanks to the Big Lead for showing us how the Flo-Rida dope boiz do the damn thang.
- Ahhhh memories…..I’ll admit it, I used to have a pair of Redskins Zubaz pants, much like the ones worn here by Jim Lachey and brought to the us by Mr. Irrelevant. I’m not sure what happened to my pants….can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not. But I used to be the flyest 8th grader who never wore ‘em out in public. What I can’t figure out is why the good folks at zubaz.com are still in business. They even have pictures on their site of people from modern times modeling the ‘baz.
- Winnie Cooper is still kickin’, lookin’ tasty, and just about a third of a century old.
- Speaking of hotties, Co-Ed Magazine.com has the run-down on the top 25 sexiest female athletes of 2007 – Not sure about you, but my #1 vote goes to #6 on the list, Allison Stokke, University of Cal pole vaulter. College Candy has the coverage — easy gents, she’s just a college freshman, for now.

Ever wondered what Michael Vick’s house looked like? No, not the dog killin’ house in VA; this link evidently takes you on a virtual tour of Michael Vick’s Georgia house. I’m still surprised that there’s no doggie rape-room. Guess his place now looks more like Redman’s apartment from MTV Cribs.
Stop Snitchin’! So let me get this straight….if you are a criminal who snitches on another criminal, that’s against street-code, right? Ok, makes sense. What? Innocent people are getting killed for snitching on criminals who have had a detrimental affect on their lives? Well, that’s pussified-code. Of course, you always have Cam’ron…he won’t even snitch on the dudes who shot him in DC.
Stephon Marbury better start watching his back, he’s about to break a street-code. This report from Slam Online has links pertaining to Starbury snitchin’ on Isiah Lord Thomas the 3rd. I told you that both Steph and Zeke had something going on. Dirty Dirt.
Gilbertology wants us to get ready to vote for Gilbert again…..this time for the All-Star game. And at first, I was like, Why? But then I looked at the other guards from the East….straight weak. If I had to predict, Boston is going to rally around Ray-Ray Allen…and the next tier (well, not really next tier, but an additional 5 to include in the top 6 potentials), would be Chauncey Billups, Ray Felton, Joe Johnson, Jason Kidd and Gilbert Arenas. D-Wade is hurt, and Michael Redd should always come off the bench. Then, I started thinking about all the times that bum Vince Carter was voted as an All-Star Game starter and said “Eff that! Let’s all get out and vote for our hometown DC boy!” Good luck Gil.
Uh oh, Phil Jackson is up to his Zen Mind Games again. He actually praises Kobe Bryant‘s, get this, lead-er-ship in this article. Read more »
