Well, Gilbert Arenas dared the NBA to suspend him and they said “ok”. But what about Javaris Crittenton? He also had a weapon in the locker room, which (rumor has it) he brandished, loaded and had ready to roll. This is unadvised behavior all around, but considering that these guys are pretty young, we’re surprised no one was actually shot. When does the PSA come out from one of these pistoleros?

Episode 199

Locker Room Stand-off, Off-Road Rally and NFL Playoffs with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from Ground Hog Day! That special event where you get to see what you just saw…again. For fans of the Jets, Packers and Cowboys that might be the best news they’ve heard all year. For the rest of you, get ready to experience not the new but the old. Don’t judge it just yet - you never know how back-to-back games can affect the mindset, playbook and execution of the teams involved. Could be interesting. And if it’s not there’s always the Dakar Rally.

Take it in as it may be the last year for this grueling, true off-road test of endurance. Why? Because The Girls are throwing their hats (fedoras, of course) into the ring for next year. Robin’s taking the Quad and Carol’s hitting it in the Fantoo semi. Neither can read a map, drive by a beach without taking a dip, and they are both terrified of spiders. The competition is spooked for sure.

Possibly joining them next year would be one Gilbert Arenas, he of the finger-pistol fame that got him suspended. Indefinitely. Class, can you say Jack Ass? He could have played some games (and made his filthy lucre) and waited out the police investigation. But no. The genius had to come out on the court with his fingers pointing around like Quick Draw McGraw at the Sixers game.

Seriously, Arenass, you are such an idiot you make Plaxico Buress look like Plato. To throw your dumb behavior in David Stern’s face is a sure ticket right out of the NBA. You’re going to have to do some serious penance if you ever want to palm a ball again. The real shame is that you could have risen above all some of the others to be a true fan-favorite in this game. You would benefit from The Fantoo Girls’ Den-Mothers-For-You program, for sure.

Dear ESPN, We love you. Couldn’t live without you. Appreciate your pioneer spirit, admire your achievements, celebrate your super seksi productions (nobody lights a set better), and want to smack you for trying to go all 3D on us. While we’re not “old” per se, we do remember many attempts over the years to make this gimmick a household must-have. Not gonna work. Not until you remove the need for silly glasses by embedding 3D lenses in our eyes at birth. Good luck with that one.

Matt Duchene - Son of Colorado Avalanche player.

We take a look back at the Winter Classic (Robin went, saw, drank…and managed to stay out of trouble.), salute Alexander Ovechkin for his new Captain status, and honor the Colorado Avalanche with our first ever Team Rookie Look. Those kids are youngins! No beer pong there! We wrap up our 199th episode with the NFL and all its 2009/10 weirdness. So fun…yet so odd! Finally, in this week’s IT HAS TO BE SAID, we take on the real drug lords.

So grab your green tea, a GPS and don’t forget the charger…it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
