The Esquire Abstract: Agent Zero
I've written about my affinity for Gilbert Arenas many times, so it comes as no surprise that I'm now directing you to Esquire's new piece on Agent Zero. I haven't made it all the way through it yet (I can't read anything longer than 300 words without printing it out first), but I did make it far enough to discover that Gil and I share the same dream: that our teeth are falling out. He thinks it means that (Larry Hughes?) is stabbing him in the back. I just think it means that I never should have danced with Skoal Wintergreen.
Thankfully, DC Sports Bog lists highlights from the abstract, and closes with this simple declaration:
"I'm now willing to argue that our humble little market has either the best, most famous or weirdest young star in virtually every pro team sport: from Ovie (best) to Adu (most famous) to Gil and Portis (weirdest). Bloggers go to sleep happy at night with a foursome like that."
Dan Steinberg (aka D-Steinz) over at the Bog is right, it's a wonderful thing being a DC sports fan in '06, and not just because of the aforementioned guys either. We have Sean Taylor (vicious), Ryan Zimmerman (limitless), Olaf Kolzig (old reliable), Caron Butler (Tough Juice), Nick Johnson (Private Pyle), Chris Cooley (great hair hands), Santana Moss (playmaker), Antawn Jamison (20 and 8), Marcus Washington (backbone), Chad Cordero (Chief), Randy Thomas (Hog) and, of course, Etan Thomas (activist). Not to mention Joe freaking Gibbs (legend). So who cares if our teams haven't won a championship since '91? It could be worse. We could be Philly.

Although I agree, we are lucky to have such awesome characters on our D.C. teams, it really doesn't matter what city you live: You can always say, "it could be worse, we could be Philly" and you'll be right.
