Granted this is damage control and likely mandated by the NBA and/or Washington Wizards and/or Arenas’ agent and/or his shoe sponsor, BUT it still takes a lot to stand up and apologize personally in a very public venue such as the Washington Post.  Good Job Gilbert.

The duel in DC — unprecedented in sports history — was sparked when Crittenton became enraged at the veteran guard for refusing to make good on a gambling debt, a source said.

Is anyone surprised this happened in DC?  In the NBA?  What do you think Roger Goodell and the NFL would do about this?  (Hint: both players would be out of work for quite a while).  The NBA needs to get its act together and get rid of the thug image that dominates the sport.
