Gilbert Arenas Eats His Words, Sort Of

Gilbert Arenas can be humble. No, seriously. On his latest blog post, he admits that he was wrong about his Celtics prediction, in which he said, "Oh man, everybody is jumping on this Celtics band wagon. You know what? I was going to go prediction-free for the whole year, but I guess I'm going to break that now. Right now I'm telling the Boston fans: You guys are going to lose. It's not going to be a victory for Boston. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn't winning in Boston for the season opener. I'm sorry."

Arizona Wildcat-bred Arenas admitted:

"They had it and I had to eat my words on national television. 0-1 on predictions is not the way you want to start out the season, especially me with my mouth.

But I did have two fans sitting on the front row wearing No. 0. They sat right next to the bench. They were two really good fans.

I've been going to Boston for many years now and I've never seen anything like that. I know most of you were watching it on TV, but if you were there you could hear them just chanting my name which was beautiful because I don't think even Michael Jordan got his name chanted in another arena like that.

Even though mine was chanted for hatred, it felt good. Now there's a bond between me and the Boston fans."

And by humble, I meant Gilbert isn't really humble at all. BUT, he can pretend to be humble and then really end up praising himself no matter what. But you can't totally blame him. He did go to UA, and we piss excellence. Well, or cheap beer. Either way, we are going to do it this year, even without Lute. Otherwise, eating your words may turn out to be a common UA trait…
