Oh what it must be like to be a famous celebrity or athlete who then gets busted for something big. You go from the top of the world to the bottom of some dude’s bunk in his cell. And that’s likely the scenario that former Washington Wizard Javaris Crittenton has found himself in (if he’s [...]
Remember the Gilbert Arenas gun incident in the Washington Wizards locker room? Yeah, the other guy he got into it with was Javaris Crittenton. While that happened a while ago, someone didn’t get the memo about why we don’t mess with guns. Crittenton has been formally charged with the murder of an Atlanta woman back [...]
We hear these kinds of rumors all the time and it’s always so tough to tell if they are true. We heard a while ago that Delonte West was getting it on with LeBron’s mom, and that’s why LeBron was playing poorly at the time. And now, Stephen A. Smith is passing along a rumor [...]
With many claiming that the awful shooting in Tucson, AZ was due to the vitriolic political rhetoric that currently engulfs the airwaves, it’s really time to take stock of a lot of things in life.

According to Yahoo, Arenas has been telling people for days that he believes that a trade is imminent. [...]
Yes, here at OTR we are all about “The Dougie” lately. I don’t think any of our ginormous staff even knows how to do it, but we like it anyway. We just showed you an NFL video of several players doing it, but now it’s getting even bigger. You know it’s gotten a little too [...]
Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has already proven to be kind of a douchebag. Suspended for most of last year for brandishing firearms in the locker room, Arenas doesn’t seem to get it. The latest evidence of this? He actually said after a preseason game that he faked an injury so that Nick Young could [...]
The Washington Wizards are full of hope as they conclude training camp and get ready for another exciting season of Wizards basketball. They come into this season with No. 1-overall pick John Wall and get their favorite gun-toting cowboy back from suspension. But, according to the Washington Post, Gilbert Arenas (the aforementioned gun-toting cowboy) might [...]
An old lady, a Russian, and a Jru walk into a bar with three sealed envelopes. One of the envelopes contains the rights to the number one pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Who has the winning envelope? If you think it’s the Jru, you’re wrong. And it’s not the Russian. PHOTO CAPTION: Jru Holiday [...]
Washington Wizards chowderhead guard Gilbert Arenas was sentence on Friday in his case for bringing firearms into the Wizards’ locker room (and pulling one on Javaris Crittendon).

The Cleveland Cavaliers have finally made a deal, but it’s not with the Phoenix Suns, league sources have told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. The Washington Wizards have sent All-Star forward Antawn Jamison to Cleveland in a six-player, three-team deal. The Cavs are sending Ilgauskas and a first-round pick to the Wizards.

Sports on this one. ORIGINAL STORY: With Phoenix [...]

Washington Wizards’ knucklehead Javaris Crittenton will not appeal his season-long suspension, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein on Twitter. “Just filed to ESPN: Wizards guard Javaris Crittenton has elected NOT to appeal his suspension without pay for the rest of the season,” he tweets.

Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas pled guilty on Friday to a felony count of carrying a pistol without a license.

Washington Bullets Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas dropped 23 points in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. In addition, he thinks he exercised “bad judgment” in bringing firearms into the locker room. Really? We would guess it would depend on who you asked. His remarks came after the family of the late [...]
This is absolutely bizarre. According to the New York Post, Washington Wizard teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton pulled guns on each other during a Christmas Eve gambling dispute. After Arenas refused to pay up on a gambling debt, Crittenton became irate and shouted at Gilbert, “I’m not your punk.” In response, Arenas reportedly pulled [...]
Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas scored a season-high 45 points and had 13 assists last night against, who else, the Golden State Warriors. He is averaging nearly 28 points in his last five games and seems to be back to his old self. If you have him on your fantasy basketball team, we highly recommend [...]
