In 2010, whatever you do, don't welsh on Javaris!

This story is shocking even to this jaded old blogger:


NEW YORK (AP)—Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas(notes) and Javaris Crittenton(notes) drew guns on each other during a Christmas Eve locker room argument over a gambling debt, according to The New York Post.

Citing an anonymous source, the newspaper reports in Friday’s edition that the standoff was sparked when Crittenton became angry at Arenas for refusing to make good on a gambling debt. That prompted Arenas to draw on Crittenton, who then also grabbed for a gun, league security sources tell the Post.


Ready people? 1-2-3-YIKES!!

What do you think, fine them each 1 million and suspend for the rest of the season? Pete Rose them? I guess they could end up in jail, couldn't they?

Oh, I think that they should both rot in prison, pay fines, and perform community service in the form of explaining to young fans why acting stupidly with a firearm is a terrible idea.

Then again, I have a personal, zero-tolerance policy for any stupidity that involves a firearm. There's no reason to pull a gun on someone over a gambling debt.

They sure took Plaxico Burress down hard on a weapons charge. Admittedly, he fired the gun, but not on purpose.

He got 3.5 years....
