Agent Zero Fails To Back It Up
Gilbert Arenas had vowed to get 50 points against the Blazers today, in his continuing revenge tour against the coaching staff of the US Olympic basketball team. Blazers head man Nate McMillan was one of those coaches. Gilbert even implored ESPN to pick up the game to witness his spiteful heroics. H...
Brendan Haywood and Etan Thomas Need a Timeout
Someday, the Washington Wizards are going to bring in a decent center, and he's going to kick both of their asses. Brendan Haywood and Etan Thomas reportedly got into a fight at practice, which would make their third fight over the last two years....
DeShawn Stevenson Doesn't Care About His Money

Gilbert Arenas Rates His Swag
It must be frustrating for Gilbert Arenas sometimes, being stuck on a planet with people who couldn't possibly understand the way his world works. Sometimes, though, an intrepid reporter will try to break through....
The Inside Story On Gilbert's Birthday Bash
The big party last week was, not surprisingly, the big Gilbert Arenas birthday party, complete with ice sculpture, Clinton Portis and, of all people, Kissing Suzy Kolber's own Unsilent Majority. (Obviously, Agent Zero should be a bit more judicious with the guest list.) Unsilent spoke with Free Dark...
The Key To Any Good Party Is The Ice Sculpture
If you were wondering what happened to your invite to Gilbert Arenas's 25th birthday party, it got lost in the mail and somehow ended up in the hands of Jamie Mottram of Mister Irrelevant, the FanHouse, and formerly of Sports Bloggers Live. His Arenas Express Card got him into the party, and he was ...
Welcome To The Hibachi
Gilbert Arenas is a fountain of awesomeness that will never run dry. The latest dip into his well of creative genius brings us a phrase that will surely sweep the nation. Whenever Gilbert puts up a shot that he feels like is going in (which is all of them), he yells ... well, let's let Caron Butle...
Gilbert Arenas Appears To Update His Blog Regularly
As True Hoop has pointed out and we feel obliged to remind you of once again, Wizards singular voice of reason Gilbert Arenas has his own blog, and it's every bit as wonderful as you might have suspected it would be. Here's a few selections from the last couple of days:...
Etan Thomas Has Got Your Peace RIGHT HERE
When Washington Wizards forward Etan Thomas isn't busy extolling the virtues of Abe Pollin's prostate in lyrical poem form or reminding us that David Stern doesn't care about black people, apparently, he whittles away the hours getting in fights with teammate Brendan Haywood....
FreeDarko Previews The NBA Season
As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tal...

Behold The Glory That Is Gilbert
In case you had any doubt that Wizards superstar Gilbert Arenas is the most subtly weirdo human in sports right now, DC Sports Bog invites you to check out this month's Esquire interview with Agent Zero himself. The level of pure oddity is pretty much off the charts. Some highlights, culled from DC ...
Soon, Congress Will Make The Wizards Illegal
If you haven't heard, the Washington Wizards' new slogan for the 2006-07 season is "Go All In," which is possibly a reference to Gilbert Arenas' love of playing online poker at halftime and is definitely not something that makes much sense. To quote DC Sports Bog:...
Arenas Of The Absurd
We're rapidly coming to the point, we think, where we can place pictures of Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jackson side by side, and point to Arenas and say "He's the eccentric one." (Though Gilbert is decidedly more charming and, uh, a little less creepy, we think.) The latest out of Washington D.C. ...
Gilbert Arenas Can't Stop Shooting
Via Mr. Irrelevant, we present this picture of Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas, who had a rather nuts battle with Boston's Paul Pierce last night. (Pierce hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer.)...

Picasso And Ron Artest Meet, One Year Later
We think the folks at Washington Wizards obsessive site Wizznutzz are certifiably bonkers, but we mean that in the best possible way. We meant to hit this last week, but on Friday they reposted their brilliant Picasso-inspired piece of art called "Aubernica", a dramatic surrealist rendering the f...
Michael Jordan's Sudden Inability To Speak
We have such huge blog crushes on the maniacs at Wizznutzz that it's somewhat embarassing to us and to our family. We love it muchly when they rip on Michael Jordan, like they did in this maddeningly brilliant post, but we've just discovered, via Mr. Irrelevant, their best find yet....
