From our friends at TMZ.com:

Report: NBAers Involved in Armed Standoff

Posted Jan 1st 2010 10:04AM by TMZ Staff

His nickname is Agent Zero, but a new report claims NBA star Gilbert Arenas went 007 on a teammate when he allegedly drew his gun on him during a disagreement over money.



Arenas and backup point guard Javaris Crittenton got into it on Christmas Eve, says the NY Post, to the point where the two pulled out their guns in the team's locker room. A source told the paper the argument involved some sort of gambling debt.

Arenas admitted on Christmas Day that he had been keeping unloaded guns in his locker, which he turned over to the team.

Arenas and Crittenton both play for the Washington Wizards, which used to be known as the Washington Bullets.

Why we Hate New York

A few more reasons.....why we hate New York.....and their arrogant ways ....displayed once again by these tasteless tabloid headlines:

Friday Headliners

It's Friday.......it's hot........here's some of the headlines .....we're following....

From Bing.com:

You already know my stance on Vick......Now you can get a little more perspective....


Braves vs. Phillies.......this weekend........must win....must watch series........

Finally........those......New York Tabloids.......

Here's their Friday morning headlines:

A 22-4......beat-down...........

Yesterday.......

In Major League Baseball.......the Atlanta Braves were beaten, 10-0.............Meanwhile the L A Angels got blasted, 9-2........and while all this was going on........Cincinnati was getting clobbered, 7-0.

These three teams suffered beat-downs ........but it was mild compared to our guys in pinstripes.

	Final		1		2		3		4		5		6		7		8		9		R		H		E
	Cleveland	0	14	1	1	4	0	0	1	1	22	25	1
	NY Yankees	2	0	0	0	0	2	0	0	0	4	7	1
WP: F. Carmona (1-2) LP: C. Wang (0-3)

Yes........it's true.......No, your eyes are not deceiving you.

The best team money can buy.......laid an egg........and we couldn't be happier!

Of course.....those New York tabloids aren't..........

In Defense.......of Alex Rodriguez...

From "A-Roid".....to "A-Hole"..........

The tabloid papers across the New York area blasted Alex Rodriguez in light of his admitting taking steroids while a member of the Texas Rangers back in 2003.

In tests which were supposed to be confidential.....Sports Illustrated.com reported on it's web site Sunday, Rodriquez tested positive for using performance enhancing drugs.

You remember.......five years ago .......the United States government got involved....promised the players that no names would be revealed.....if the players association (the most powerful union on the planet) would let the players come clean......be tested......to finally see the extent of drug use in professional baseball.

Well...........there has been a leak. Names have been revealed. Someone broke a promise.

If you can't trust your government........who can you trust? And what recourse do you have? You can't sue the Feds.....

You do what A-Rod has done........Admit it........say you were young and dumb........and rely on the American public for forgiveness.

Only ..........this would not have been a story .... if names had not been leaked. And this really should be the story.......but .....you and I know better.........



Take a look at these New York headlines:

2009........Welcome to the Party

Here's to you.....2009

You are just a few hours old. You will have 365 days......52 weeks.......and 12 months to leave your legacy.

So, 2009.......What will you bring?

Wow!

This Week in Baseball

This week, the sports world has been glued to the Beijing Olympics....


So let us get you up to date on what's been happening in Major League Baseball.

Two of the mighty (during the '90s) ........died this week. The New York Yankees and the Atlanta Braves. The Yankees have lost 7 out of their last 10 to fall 9 1/2 games out of the division lead.

The Braves were swept by the Chicago Cubs this week and fell to 10 games out. The Cubs won every game against Atlanta this year for the first time ever.




Manny Ramirez was asked by new manager (Joe Torre) of his new team( the Dodgers) .....to get a hair cut........and he did. His dreadlocks still extended down his back.....but were about an inch shorter. Well.......he did as he was told.....he got a hair cut. Manny ....being ...Manny.






Prince Fielder jumped in the face of Milwaukee Brewer pitcher, Manny Parra, after Parra had pitched a loss against the Cincinnati Reds. A shoving match ensued......the two had to be separated . This was on August 4..........After that, the Brewers won 8 in a row. Club house harmony.....is so over-rated.







The Barry Bonds rumors are heating up again. The latest is that the Tampa Bay Rays are entertaining thoughts of signing Bonds to help their offensive line-up down the stretch run of the pennant race. It sounds nutty.....but.....The Rays are young......they need a DH......Bonds and the circus that will surround him will take the pressure off the rest of the team. This may well work.




The standings....as of today:
