I gotta have a soft spot for a guy who screams "Hibachi!" before uncorking a ridiculously long (not to mention ill-advised) three pointer. I guess I'm always attracted to misfits like Arenas, Jackson, Nash, and Artest.

Well, speaking from 4 1/2 years of experience living in DC recently, I guess I'd agree he's not a "thug" (by whatever definition, rationally charged, not racially charged, or "Carmello Anthony-esque"). But, the "gun culture" of the NBA clearly has infected him. The contract they gave him was always stupid. He has always been stupid himself. The Wizards' mediocrity has always been bemusing.comfortstarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234120431573108100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009551625417231557.post-68387467291274256952010-01-17T21:33:44.693-05:002010-01-17T21:33:44.693-05:00I'm sure you could draw me a detailed map.I'm sure you could draw me a detailed map.Bill Zinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614494130260695458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009551625417231557.post-45381488616400300452010-01-17T21:30:17.004-05:002010-01-17T21:30:17.004-05:00If you are implying, by extension, that I should h...If you are implying, by extension, that I should have one iota of sympathy for Roger Clemens, you can go straight to hell.Stanley Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807026610780925825noreply@blogger.com
