Gilbert ArenasFor those who dabble in Twitter, which sometimes serves no purpose beyond revealing illiteracy in America, this is what Gilbert Arenas would be doing if he wasn't an NBA player with a $111 million contract: "if i wasnt playin ball ill might be workin at Mc donalds ... becuz i like there frys.'' He should be careful what he wishes for on his Tweets. Becuz at this rate, after possibly serving prison time and a league suspension, Arenas' lone employment option might be cooking junk food.

In the District of Columbia, a place so haunted by murder through the years that the local basketball franchise changed its name from Bullets to Wizards, the team's best and most popular player recently chose to bring four unloaded guns down to the arena. "I had kept the four unloaded handguns in my house in Virginia, but then moved them over to my locker at the Verizon Center to keep them away from my young kids," Arenas wrote Monday in a statement. "I brought them without any ammunition into the District of Columbia, mistakenly believing that the recent change in the D.C. gun laws allowed a person to store unloaded guns in the District."
