Everyone is talking about what he said about shark attacks on his blog. He's getting lots of press and laughs about it. It's straight up plagiarized from a stand-up comedian.

From Arenas's blog

This comment made it on all three of Rome is Burning, Around the Horn, and PTI today and I knew as soon as I heard it that I'd heard it before. The comedian he stole it from is Ian Edwards who was featured on Bad Boys of Comedy.

Some blogger did a comparison here

Edwards: Ain't no such thing as shark attacks.

Gilbert: There is no such thing as a shark attack.

Edwards: We live on the land. Sharks live in the water. If you get caught down there, you trespassing.

Gilbert: We're humans. We live on land. Sharks live in water. So if you're swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that's called trespassing.

Edwards: You know what a real shark attack is? A real shark attack is if you someplace you supposed to be and a shark shows up. That's a shark attack. Is if you someplace you supposed to be and a shark shows up. If you in the crib taking a shower tonight and you feel a tap on your shoulder and you turn around, 'What's up playa, shark attack time baby.'

Gilbert: A shark attack is if you're chilling at home, sitting on your couch, and a shark comes in and bites you; now that's a shark attack.

Oh man when I saw this on PTI today I said the exact same thing. It's pretty much stolen verbatim from the comedian.

Giblert Arenas is the Carlos Mencia of athletes trying to be funny.
