Arenas on indefinite suspension.

I don't think he looks very apologetic. Regardless, Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has been indefinitely benched without pay by the NBA for "behavior that made him not currently fit to take the court."

This behavior includes pointing fingers at other players as if he were shooting guns shortly after going under federal investigation for bringing actual guns into the locker room.

Not that I condone the use of firearms for much of anything, but I bet lots of players bring guns into the locker room...remember Plaxico Burress? Yeah...barely. Oh well.

Luckily for Arenas, he has being a three time All Star player on his side. I don't think he will be on the sidelines for too long.

They're showin' the money.

The Washington Redskins aren't contract shy. They proved that by handing defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth $100 million for 7 years. Haynesworth was a key player in smashing the Tennessee Titans to a 10-game undefeated season streak before being majorly upset in game 11 by the New York Jets. Look at him. Who wants a piece of that?

This is the second big contract for the Redskins, who earlier signed Deangelo Hall for six years at $54 million.

I don't know where they got all this money. I wasn't aware the Redskins had fans. Apparently I was wrong, and there's plenty of time to buy more big dudes for their line before the season starts later this year.
