Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas used to rule the Internet with his enticing blog posts, but he’s calmed it down quite a bit. His new way to draw attention online is through Twitter, though he isn’t doing much to draw attention at all.
Arenas said he won’t Tweet until he gets 1 million followers on his Twitter account. Well, after getting less than 7,000 followers, he caved. Arenas posted a link to this video on his page in an effort to round up votes to become an NBA All-Star. The message is loud and clear and hilarious: Vote for Gilbert or die.
Yes, we know this is a very morbid thought, and we apologize to Deshawn Stevenson’s family in advance, but how cool would it be if he smoked like nine packs of cigarettes a day, got mouth cancer and had to speak through his neck with one of those fancy voice-emulator devices? His 5-0-5 Abraham Lincoln tattoo could literally talk at that point, and our nation’s 16th President would sound like a robot.
Just a thought.
Alex Ovechkin is a polar bear.
No, no, no — that’s not the mascot of a new NHL expansion team. In that regard, he is still a Washington Capital. He does, however, like sitting by the ice and relaxing, even if he’s doing so while watching another NHL team practice. He just likes chilling — literally.
Ovechkin chilled on the visitors’ bench and watched the Rangers practice Monday morning when a Rangers trainer ratted him out to the Capitals. AO the polar bear was then asked to leave by PR dude Nate Ewell.
“Alex was just looking for a place to relax. He likes being by the ice,” Ewell said. “As soon as he found out it made the Rangers uncomfortable, he left.”
Was the visitors’ box was the only place to hang out and chill? Did Ovechkin forget to pay his AC bill last month? Is he really melting? Somebody get this scout a fan.
President Obama will root for the Oregon State men’s basketball team, which lost all 18 of its conference games last season, but he isn’t rooting for the Arizona Cardinals?
Wonder if his brother-in-law coaching the Beavers has anything to do with his OSU fandom. He’s the fan of a low-conference hoops team, but when it comes to the Super Bowl, there’s no way he’s picking the underdog?
We think it has something to do with the state of Arizona, rather than football at all. There’s got to be a bet between Obama and John McCain.
Welcome to the New America.
As of today, you have a youthful United States president. He is black, he loves basketball, and demands change.
No, really. Barack Obama demands change.

Yeah, it could be a stretch, but maybe, just maybe U.S. president-elect Barack Obama and fucked-up QB Michael Vick are bros. This isn’t a race thing, it’s a timing thing.
Vick could be out of federal prison and moved into a nut house by Jan. 20.
Not pointing any fingers here, but Jan. 20 is a pretty big day for one other reason and one reason only.
Just saying.
