Next up: “I am a talented shooter of the basketball!”

A few days ago, while suffering from pre-traumatic stress disorder (not to be confused with post-traumatic stress disorder), we somehow missed the fact that Gilbert Arenas is no longer saying “Hibachi!” when he shoots the ball. You know, hibachi, like the hot little grill. As in, he’s on fire. Anyway, we love Gil and his crazy Wizard ways, but his replacement catch phrase is a little lacking: “Quality shots.” Maybe he’s playing the subtle card?

Thanks to SuperRookie, too, for reminding us all that Agent Zero has his own blog. How can you not love Gil?

Gil may be more than a little out there, but he’s one of the most entertaining players in the league. Agent Zero is easily the best nickname in pro sports today. What other nickname comes close?

Have to agree. We love ourselves some Agent Zero. He and KG would be the perfect blend of cool and crazy. Maybe we’ll see them together after KG is traded.

I had heard rumors that Agent Zero has a futuristic blog. Is this true?

Indeed he does; I’ll add the link to the post. It’s hilarious.

I believe a certain better-than-average Rookie has his own blog, too. Or maybe there’s someone else with a thing for velodromes.

My only hope for the future is the demise of Lance Armstrong.

And flying cars. And Diet Mountain that actually tastes like Mountain Dew.

Childress should be let go. He has proven he is an inept leader who does not listen to his team. We don’t need this crap, especially as we seek to obtain a new stadium. Well up and smell the manure!!!
