Idiot of the week award

My first ever idiot of the week award goes to Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas. On January 16 of this year, Arenas posted the following on his blog:

The most important game is on Feb. 11.

Well, it’s not the most important but that’s the game I’m going to say is my next 50-pointer.

I know they have the countdown going. I also do to.

Tune in. I think ESPN or TNT needs to pick that game up.

Arenas fell 41 points short of his prediction today, finishing with just nine points in a 94-73 loss against the Blazers.
