Gilbert Arenas cheating at Halo 3? Dan Steinberg has more.

Fine. Don't credit me. It's not like I wanted a parade or something.

His contention seems to be that it's not cheating because who the hell cares about these rankings? He's right.

i like that he admits it (very much in character).

That's not cheating. Gaming encourages the use of hacks and scams. I think there is a new trend in gaming akin to straightedge where players do the games with no cheats and no buffs but that's not the dominant ethic. Agent Zero is old school, he chea..I mean he takes full advantage of the available range of strategies.

I think gamers themselves are more aware than anyone what's kosher and what's not, and in my brief forays into Halo 3 online play, cheats and exploits seem frowned upon.

Cheating, shmeating - did anyone notice that Real Madrid just beat the Raptors? What the hell is going on here? Shouldn't the NBA stop letting the Grizzlies and the Raptors be their international representatives? It must be embarassing.

"Shouldn't the NBA stop letting the Grizzlies and the Raptors be their international representatives?"

Little known fact: Memphis is actually a U.S. city.

(Sorry. Couldn't resist. Intentional misreading is always fun.)

Hey its Arenas! What do you expect? He's just padding his stats while not actually winning.

(You know that was just lying right out there)
