Gilbert Arenas is One Funny Dude

So Gilbert Arenas has been fined by the NBA for one of his twitter posts. I can't find it anywhere (rumored to be his offensive jokes about women), but this is what he says afterward:
"yes the nba has fined me....for being to awesome..so i can give you the shoes for FREE but gotta charge you for the jokes... i cant believe i got fined..how do i explain this to the lady at the bank...this is gonna take another 40mins... or i could just write a check and if theres a lockout just cancel the check it and maybe they will forget.....i think that will work.." then later goes on to say, "its okay it all evens it self out..i get fined from the nba........im stealing cable from my neighbors..so bam bam jackpot...hahaha". To top it off he later asks for someone to message him the NBA Twitter rules.

Agent Zero has just become one of my favorite basketball players! You'd think he'd have faster hands for all the posting he does on twitter. Nothing better than laughing in the face of Stern after he fines you and saying you're gonna cancel the check if its a lockout. The only athlete that rocks a better Twitter than this guy is former Florida safety Will Hill.

P.S. I wonder if this was the gun he brought into the locker room?

Stern Says Players and Owners "Very Far Apart"

This could be the worst year in sports history if no football or basketball is played due to lockouts. Rumor is the owners want the NBA to have a hard cap which is ridiculous. This means whatever the salary cap is, a team cannot go over it no exceptions. In the NBA now, teams can go over the cap as much as they want when resigning their own players. That's why many teams do sign and trades because the teams can't afford to sign guys when they're over the cap while players' original teams can. There are other exceptions also, but I don't really feel like going in depth right now because I gotta leave for work in two minutes. In both sports this is just billionaires fighting with millionaires and its pissing off all the blue collar people. From what it looks like the owners are not losing money right now, so why are they being such penny pinchers when they know there is no chance some of their demands will happen. The only owner demand I agree with is the NFL rookie contract structure because the rookie deals now for the first ten to twenty picks are ridiculous. In no way should Sam Bradford be making more money than 90% of the league before he even takes a snap in the NFL. With Stern saying that owners and players are "very far apart", it just makes every fan cringe.
