Gilbert Arenas: Hi-BORING!

So, this is it Gil. No more being the funny man, no more ripping people in your blog, no more laughing at Richard Jefferson when he gets traded to Milwaukee. No more beautiful poetry like: “Roses are red, violets are blue, and … I can’t remember the rest.” You’re not gonna be yourself anymore. In a word, you’ll be BO-RING! Who’s gonna shower in their uniform at halftime? What’ll happen to the Arenas Express Card? Who’s gonna sleep at the gym? Who’s gonna go on strike against his girlfriend? Who’s gonna out-shoot his teammate with one hand? Get ready to be sad. From the mouth of the wonderful himself:

“I do all the little things I do out there [and that] is going come to a halt, I just need to cut out some of the foolishness I do.”

Try all you want Arenas, but you can’t take the quirk out of the man. This is just another one of your schizophrenic comments. I do like Gil’s dedication though. We’re talking about a Wizards team that has 3 All-Stars, and should be banging on the front door of Eastern Conference. Maybe his new MO will take Washington where it belongs. Either way, since Captain Quirk probably won’t be yelling Hibachi! anymore, it’s time for a new nickname. The top 5 suggestions in the comments will receive a Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer. Contest open till 11:59 pm EST, Sunday, July 27.

    New nickname: Raclette.

    Staying in the grill phylum but replacing the punchy hibachi with the slow-and-steady Swiss machine.

    Also, it makes him sound like a fancy lady.

    @ Tiny: Of course I have. Gil would make for a solid running mate.

    @ Andrew: I like your work. But, it’s not good enough for a razor.

    Hmmmm….in reference to my favorite movie….after reading his blog I used to think of him as the “Verbal Kint” of the NBA….but if he’s cuttin’ out the ‘foolishness’ then I guess he will now be plain and simply
