no, we’re not haters.  we just think it shows remarkably poor asset management skills to slap a million dollar pool on a two million dollar house, as gil arenas is doing.  the problem with a million dollar pool?  it

desensitizes one to costs.  a dude who spends that much on a pool starts thinking he needs a 20mil jet.  and that’s when the shit gets out of hand and the specter of brokeness appears.

this grotto style pool looks like it was built for fornication.  pools that are built for fornication only lead to bad things:  date rape legal hassles, posses floating face down and dieing, gobs of semen in the pool water.

rick reilly of espn the mag recently wrote an article which doled out free advice about how to go broke as an athlete.  even with his 112mil contract, arenas would do well to read it.

nice pool, though, gil.
