(Preston Keres - TWP) I'm starting to think of Gilbert as sort of the secular Joe Gibbs. Gibbs puts his weekly spiritual guides to life on the Web; Gilbert does the same, a bit less regularly but with equal length and earnestness, invoking True Happiness as his God. But either way, this man can preach. From his latest serblog (word count: 4,344), concerning New Year's Resolutions: You have to write down everything whether you are happy or not. Just if you were happy or not, that's it. Write down if it was a fu... lire la suite

By Preston Keres - TWP) Apologies for the absence; was talking to some University of Maryland journalism students about how the key to running a good sports blog is posting pictures of athlete private parts. Something news-like seems to have happened while I was gone. Here are a few numbers to put it all in perspective.
Gilbert' s knee is worked on last September. By Jonathan Newton - TWP) "Why' s everybody tripping out? Gilbert Arenas asked Mike Wise yesterday. Big picture, if I start rehabbing now and get through the pain that prevented me from running or jumping this summer, I'
Happy engagement photo, happily yanked from Gilbert' s blog. As of last week, basically all the world knew about Gilbert Arenas' s recent engagement could be summed up in three words: Gilbert got engaged. The possibilities boggled the mind. Now, the full engagement story comes out, and as you might have guessed, it involves a convoluted surprise party, white lie upon white lie, plane trips to and from Miami, a proposed meeting with Barack Obama, a visit from Mos Def, ice sculptures, a moon bounce, the touching revelation that Gilbert'
Favored by Caron Butler. With the season opener just hours away, Reader Jay points out that Caron and Gilbert' s Rhapsody playlists, with song-by-song explanations, are available for your pre-game listening pleasure. Caron mixes F**** the Police with "A Thousand Miles," which he calls "a catchy ass song," and which I don'
Well, at least he' s doing something to celebrate his birthday. Theoretically. Open vodka bar for the ladies till midnight! Somebody who lives in NYC, please, go and report back on whether there were ice sculptures. Thanks to intern Boris of the fine blog that I don'
Completely running out of Gilbert photos. Honestly, with his regular 3,500-word soul-baring missives on his own blog (He' s bowled a 277? He thinks Nick Young is top-two in this rookie class? you' d think Gilbert would run out of material at some point, but Men'
So Gilbert is selling magnets featuring quotes from his own blog? And not only that, but Gilbert is selling magnets featuring slightly altered quotes, changing "just give me season tickets to any arena and let me sit there with 20,000 other ' crazy' AND ' quirky'
Gilbert hasn' t arrived at the Acela Club for his "Yeah, I signed two weeks ago" press conference. The media members are here; at least, those members who aren' t in Ashburn. More importantly, what appears to be the entire staff of Washington Sports and Entertainment is here, wearing matching t-shirts.
It' s Wizards media day, and for another year, a giant image of the injured Gilberet adorns the side of the Verizon Center. Although not, notably, the front page of "> WashingtonWizards. com. That' s reserved for Antawn Jamison and Dave Johnson. Last year, you might remember, Wiz media day was the scene of Brendan Haywood discussing peace in our time ("Ali and Frazier only fought three times, that'
George Gilbert is a "motivational humorist" who lectures on "the benefits of laughter in life" to groups like the California Refuse Removal Council and has a blog in which he tells jokes ("Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering. Gheorghe Gilbert, on the other hand, are two of the greatest things that have ever happened to D.
The folks from Adidas sent along this brief Gilbert Arenas movie, part of a four-part series featuaring Dwight Howard, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett coaching young ball players from the U. S. and China. I have no idea how much of this is real and how much is staged, but it'
Gilbert and the media. The doors opened to the first Gilbert Arenas practice of 2008, and the media stormed in. At least 31 folks perched on the rail, watching the team run through five-on-five drills in which the losing side had to do full-court sprints. When Gilbert' s team ran, Mr.
Photos courtesy adidas) Fresh off the news that Gilbert Arenas will indeed remain in D. C. for the foreseeable future, Zero headed to the brand-new Adidas store in Beijing to snip a ribbon. From the release: At midnight on July 5, adidas will open its largest adidas Brand Center worldwide in Beijing, China, the host city of this year'
photo by Charles Dharapak - AP) I know, right? Hard to imagine that' s what five years ago looked like. And today, of course, is the day that Gilbert meets the media again, to once again discuss signing a massive deal with the Wizards. I had also forgotten that in Gilbert'
Gilbert, being non-crazy. By Steve Helber - AP) Just a few minutes ago, I posted about how the past 24 hours have neatly summed up the Arenas Era in D. C. costly injuries, pop-culture infiltration, pure goofballery and searing honesty. But I forgot one key item: cover-your-eyes LOL craziness coming from the leader of the circus.
Wizards land another shot on the face of the Cavs. By Terry Gilliam - AP. Really) If it' s NBA season opener time, then it must be "attempt to rile up Cleveland fans" time, both for the Wizards and the bloggers who cling to them. And work for them. I previously posted about Gilbert'
Gilbert Arenas was a rather noisy presence at Wiz practice on Tuesday. He was shooting around with his teammates after practice ended, with DeShawn Stevenson falling over with laughter while claiming Gilbert' s knee buckled when he tried to take a running jumper, and Caron Butler then trying to order Gilbert back over to the bench.
Gilbert' s knee tattoo. A few lost souls, blinded by the Potbelly and Fuddruckers lights, have suggested we write less about Gilbert Arenas until he resumes playing basketball. Well, sure, and maybe The Post should also devote more resources to coverage of Howard and Georgetown football.
