Gossip On Sports - The Latest Dish On and Off the Field

For the Athlete Who Has Everything, a $1M Swimming Pool (We’re Lookin’ at You, Gilbert Arenas)

by Jodie Lynn Boduch on July 30th, 2008

One of the snarky themes on this blog** is the joke that celebrities—professional athletes included—are “just like us.” *giggles* See? We can’t even type that with a straight face.

Last week we used Jessica Simpson to illustrate that point. Today, Gilbert Arenas has the honors. Somehow, this Washington Wizard conjured up a staggering $111M contract (yes, that’s 3 ones in a row). What to do with all that cash once the basic necessities of food, clothing, and shelter are addressed?

Well come on now, isn’t it obvious? You grab a mil and put it towards a swimming pool.

We hope, for that price, it at least comes with a pool boy who carries umbrella-drinks to Arenas’ wife, Laura Grovan.

** In case you’re taking notes, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t be, other snarky themes on this blog include but are not limited to rants, bench-clearing brawls, catfights, people wearing stupid things, people doing stupid things, and people saying stupid things.
