The picture speaks for itself.
Hours spent at the gym, minutes spent shooting up ‘roids, thousands spent on diet supplements, hours in the tanning salon - and you look like you could scare a child.
The two of them look so proud that it breaks your heart.
I was young but I am still stupid.
A-Rod gave his mea culpa today at a press conference at the team spring training facility down in Tampa, FL. He repeatedly maintained that back in 2001-2003, when he was 25 to 28 years old, he was young and stupid. (Methinks, he is still the latter. ) He admitted that he has made many mistakes in his life. (Methinks, he continues to make new ones.) While on the one hand, he appeared to take the blame he deftly managed to shift it all off to - an anonymous cousin, to his own naivete, his lack of college education. After all he does have a lot of spin doctors that work for him.
Have you seen the size of his entourage. It consists of his back-again agent Scott Boras, his business manager, the PR firm Outside Eyes, his Hollywood agents at CAA and Guy Oseary (Madonna’s business manager). Why does a baseball player need so much media management firepower? Just play baseball Mr. Rodriguez and rest will take of itself. You know what they say - success has many fathers. In the same vein - success will make people forget. Stop being so selfish, so self-centered and start caring about something besides yourself. In other words, grow up. You can not use the ‘young & stupid’ excuse the next time. … well you can, but even less people will believe you then.
What’s wrong with this guy?
Every time the team is looking to rebound and get on, and this is supposed to be a good season after Hank’s Yanks signed up CC, AJ and Tex, it is suddenly about A-Rod and not the team. Try and build team chemistry and begin to focus on winning - then once again there is some stupidity from this guy that crushes the chemistry in the clubhouse. Best of luck playing as a team now! Now every member of the team will have to field questions about A-Rod. The prima donna Madonna’s boyfriend. If it is not making boneheaded comments, having flings with hookers in Boston, getting a divorce or something - it is taking steroids. Goddamn!
He admits to usage in 2001 to 2003, but where is the credibility? He has none left. He used to try and live up to the humungous contract in Texas. Maybe he used again and again in NY to try and live up to being a Yankee. The guy is a moron and Yanks are stuck with him for the next 9 years. Fuck!
Girardi will have a hell of a time to get the team to focus on the game and not have to deal with being A-fraud’s team mates.
