Brew Bits: Gilbert Arenas Says He’s Sawwwy

Suspended Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas hopes the power of the pen will spare him from the strong pimp hand of a judge. Arenas wrote an Op-Ed piece in today’s Washington Post, apologizing for his recent gunslinging. He also hopes his words will show kids how dangerous guns are:

That message of nonviolence will be front and center as I try to rebuild my relationship with young people in the D.C. area. I know that won't happen overnight, and that it will happen only if I show through my actions that I am truly sorry and have learned from my mistakes. If I do that, then hopefully youngsters will learn from the serious mistakes I made with guns and not make any of their own.

Gil says he’s trying to right his wrongs. So, are you buying it?

Idiots, Party of Two

The short bus and idiot's table just got one more rider:

You can add Javaris Crittenton to the "will dribble for food" line.  NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Washington Wizards guards Gilbert Arenas and Crittenton for the remainder of the season for having guns in the locker room.

Stern said guns will not be tolerated! And to top it off, both players were suspended without pay for their roles in bringing guns into the Wizards' locker room.

Arenas is in the 2nd season of a 6-year, $111 million contract.

Taste the Brew to read Stern's full statement on these two dumbasses.

Gilbert Arenas Has Company

NBA player Javaris Crittenton has now been charged with a gun felony. The Washington Post reports he was charged with "unlawful possession of a firearm," which –of course– is a felony. Crittenton was also charged with attempt to carry a pistol without a license, which is a misdemeanor. Crittenton is trying to reach an agreement to drop the felony and cop a plea to the misdemeanor.

Crittenton and now banished NBA star Gilbert Arenas reportedly displayed guns during a locker room dispute. Arenas has already pleaded guilty to a felony and was suspended indefinitely from the NBA.

NBA Ballers Afraid To Dunk?

Shaquille O'Neal dared his fellow ballers to participate in the NBA All-Star dunk contest to raise money for Haiti.  But so far, the suggestion has been a dud.

Tuesday, Shaq said he'd like to see LeBron James, Vince Carter and Kobe Bryant participate in the dunk contest for a large prize, with half of that money going to Haiti.  Carter said no and suggested Dwight Howard do it.  Dwyane Wade –who has already donated $175,000 to the earthquake relief effort– also declined to dunk.  So far, defending dunk champ Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace are dunking.  A fourth player will be determined later.

What gives guys?  Step up to the plate for Haiti.  Ya'll make enough to donate what's in your couch cushions.  I'm sure basketball fans would love to see a classic dunk contest like vintage Jordan and Wilkins.  Or are today's players simply too spoiled?

Breaking Brew: Gilbert Arenas Charged

Suspended Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas has been charged with a felony count of carrying a gun without a license.  The charge is in connection with a locker room "incident" with fellow Wizard, Javaris Crittenton on Christmas Eve.

TMZ reports Arenas' lawyer is working on a plea deal where Arenas would take a misdemeanor gun charge.

Plaxico is waiting for you, Gil...

Gilbert Arenas Won't Shut Up!

Gilbert Arenas will not shut his pie hole. After being suspended indefinitely, he's decided to take up tweeting, full time. I swear, this cat must share the same brain cell as Chris Brown when it comes to Twitter. Now, Gil is going in on the Rev. Al Sharpton, who -earlier this week- suggested that the NBA bring the pain to Arenas for allegedly bringing guns to the locker room.

Here's Gil's chain o' tweets:

Anywho... it doesn't look to good for ole Gil anyway. One of his teammates now says the dispute between Arenas and Javaris Crittenton began on the team plane during a card game called “Boo-ray.” Crittenton lost about $1100 to another teammate. Here's the rest of the story...

Crittenton, already angry over a dispute over the game's rules, became irate when Arenas began needling him. Walking into the locker room two days after the dispute on the team plane, according to two witnesses, Arenas laid out the guns in Crittenton's locker. Two other teammates eventually sauntered in and, while Arenas was writing the note in front of Crittenton's cubicle, in walked Crittenton... Asking Arenas what he was doing, Arenas replied, “If you want to shoot me, I'd just thought I'd make it easy for you.” As other teammates laughed, Crittenton crumpled up the paper, tossed one of Arenas's guns across the room, where it bounced in front of a team trainer, and said he didn't need any of Arenas's firearms because he had his own.  Crittenton then drew his weapon, loaded it and chambered a round...

So, does that mean another suspension is coming soon? Stay tuned...

Gilbert Arenas: Bringing The "Bullets" Back To DC?

As a DC native, I remember when the Washington Bullets were ushered out for a lighter, less threatening, more watered-down version of a b-ball team... The "Wizards!"  Well, it seems Gilbert Arenas is trying to put the punch back into the team.  Agent Zero not only brought guns to the locker room, he reportedly pulled a gun on his teammate, Javaris Crittenton.  The New York Post says both Arenas and Crittenton drew guns on each other during a Christmas Eve argument over a gambling debt.

Crittenton got mad at Arenas for refusing to pay his debt, so, naturally as any logical person in an argument would do, Gilbert drew his gun.  And, as any logical person on the receiving end of such an act would do, Javaris responded by drawing his gun.  Arenas denies the entire incident ever occurred.

DC police and the feds are now investigating the guns in the locker room incident.

Gilbert wackiness makes Ron Artest look like he's got the wisdom of the Dalai Lama.

Gilbert Bringing Heat To Locker Room?

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas kept more than his shoes in his locker. The baller reportedly stored unloaded firearms in a container in the locker.

Arenas told The Washington Times he removed the guns from his home soon after his daughter was born earlier this month. He brought the guns to the Verizon Center in DC and reportedly handed them over to the team's security to give them to police.

Arenas says he felt he didn't need the guns anymore. Well, DC has some strict gun laws and you can't just be bringing weapons into the locker room all willy nilly. So, the team and the NBA are investigating.

Wonder if this "bringing guns to the workplace" has anything to do with the rumored affair between Gilbert's babymamma and Shaq?!? Oh, don't act like you weren't thinking that too!

Jesus Shuttlesworth! You Got A Nasty Mouth

Someone took NBA star Ray Allen's Twit for Twat account a bit too literally yesterday. It seems a hacker posted a naughty tweet that left Ray's followers stunned (or, mildly turned on... justsayin).

The tweet read: "I'm getting there. When you masturbate think about my tongue or your cl*t and switching back and forth from my d**k to my tongue." Jiminy Christmas!

Ray hopped on 14 minutes later and said: "I'm sorry my acct was hacked into. I need to changey tweet handle." He switched his screen name from @sugarray20 to @greenrayn20.

The nassy tweet eventually got deleted but not before some crafty folks took a screen grab. Taste The Brew to get the dirty deets.
