Talking the talk and walking the walk

I can't get the thought out of my head. Gilbert Arenas tearing it up against the Blue Devils as a helpless Mike Krzyzewski pleads/whines to officials for more fouls to be called. While this dream has zippy chance of being fulfilled, Arenas' selection as a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star team last week solidified what is becoming quite the special season for the budding superstar and my Washington Wizards. Ever since this past summer, when Arenas was left off the Team USA roster, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound point guard has been on a tear and has directed much of his motivation towards the coaches of the U.S.

Role-Reversal in AFC

I had to laugh Sunday night and during the preceding week when all the Patriot-haters came out of the woodwork to root vehemently against a team many had seen just a few times during the entire year.
