Gothamite Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Besides, red, white, and blue, are waaaaaaaaaaaay overdone. But personally, I'm holding out hope that they change their name to the Generals."Washington Generals" isn't exactly a storied name for a basketball team. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Brian in Boston Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Are you kidding me?Gilbert J. Arenas is an NBA superstar.He is the most popular athlete in DC in years.He is the perfect role model.He is everything the Wizards organization and the city of Washington could have asked for...and a helluva LOT more.He can do whatever the hell he wants.* Gilbert J. Arenas is a highly-compensated professional athlete. Nothing more, nothing less. * Given the fact that he is a simple human-being, prone to all of the inherent flaws that exist in our species, the likelihood that he is a "perfect" anything - let alone, role model - is non-existant. * While he may well be everything the Wizards' organization could have asked for, unless he's capable of lowering the crime rate, increasing student performance in schools, eliminating urban blight, wiping out drug use, etc., than he is hardly "... a helluva LOT more" than "... the city of Washington could have asked for".Bottom line? You can get up off of your knees and wipe your chin, now. Seriously, he's a professional jock... PERIOD. I mean, I'm as big a sports fan as you're ever likely to find. However, the level to which otherwise sane and reasonable people will prostrate themselves before the altar of pro sports is mind-boggling to me.

Sodboy13 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Let's all be thankful that Gilbert Arenas is accompanying President Bush at the NATO summit in Latvia, so this situation in Afghanistan can finally be put to rest.

leedsunited Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The most pertinent question is this: Who gives a rat's ass what Gilbert Arenas wants?Are you kidding me?Gilbert J. Arenas is an NBA superstar.He is the most popular athlete in DC in years.He is the perfect role model.He is everything the Wizards organization and the city of Washington could have asked for...and a helluva LOT more.He can do whatever the hell he wants.So...do you want to listen to the 81-year-old owner who hasn't won in 28 years?Or do you want to listen to the 24-year-old face of the franchise?Advantage: Agent Zero. Please tell me you're being tongue in cheek.He's not the second coming of Jesus Christ, you know. He's a freaking basketball player - nothing more, nothing less.

Brian in Boston Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Gilbert Arenas' sweat has been proven to cure cancer. His urine is an intoxicatingly aromatic cologne. His semen - much to the chagrin of his sexual conquests - can be used as a quick-bonding industrial adhesive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally, I'm holding out hope that they change their name to the Generals."Washington Generals" isn't exactly a storied name for a basketball team.Tongue firmly in cheek . . . sort of. If it weren't for the Globetrotters history, I really think the name Generals would fit perfectly for a Washington team. Even with that, I'd love to see a sports owner show that he has a sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Meningocele Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The current colors are fantastic, but I think a D.C. team is almost obligated to wear red, white and blue. Ummmmmm.....The Nationals currently wear red white and blue. The former Bullets wore it just a handful of years ago, as did the Capitals. The Redskins don't because the team colors from Boston traveled with the franchise to D.C.Nice attempt at nitpicking, but I think most of the adults on the forum knew what I was talking about. There's not many towns that lend itself so naturally to a certain "ready made" color scheme like D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
