Arenas claims ‘bad judgment’
NBA: Gilbert Arenas said Saturday he used “bad judgment” in bringing guns into the Washington Wizards’ locker room. He also denied that he gambles and said there are misconceptions about a dispute between himself and teammate Javaris Crittenton.
As for the rest, he said he’ll tell it to authorities on Monday.
Arenas spoke following the Wizards’ 97-86 loss to San Antonio. His remarks came after two days of reports about the investigation into the guns he kept at the Verizon Center – and about an hour after the family of late Wizards owner Abe Pollin said it was “extremely poor judgment” that the guns were there.
“I agree,” Arenas said. “That’s bad judgment on my part to store them in here, and I take responsibility for that.”
Arenas skirted other questions about the matter. Two officials within the league who have been briefed on the investigation said that it involves a dispute over card-playing gambling debts and a heated discussion in the locker room.

Trainer didn’t agree with Leach
College football: A Texas Tech athletic trainer told university officials he did not agree with Mike Leach’s treatment of receiver Adam James after the player was diagnosed with a concussion.
In an affidavit released by the university, Texas Tech trainer Steve Pincock said he told James he was “sorry” for having placed the player inside an equipment shed near the practice field.
On Dec. 21, Pincock spoke with Tech officials, telling them that he did not agree with that “form of treatment for anyone” and that Leach “wanted James to be uncomfortable.”
