Why Is A-Rod So Hated?
East Windup Chronicle —
I have to admit that I did a double-take this morning when I logged on to EWC and saw a link to a story entitled “Alex Rodriguez is a Lying Bitch.” I’ll be the first to say I’ve been one of A-Rod’s detractors over the years. At this point taking shots at him is like shooting at the Red Cross, as the Italians say. All the pieces are in place for the purple-lipped prima donna you love to hate. A playoff choke artist that Yanks fans in the bleachers referred to openly as “Gay Rod” during his first season in pinstripes, the ego, strip clubs, we all know the story.
But A Rod certainly isn’t ...

Alex Rodriguez seemed a little blurry on '60 Minutes' — Sports stories from Newsday
Did CBS use some sort of weird, soft-focus lens on Alex Rodriguez for his "60 Minutes'' interview last week, or does he actually have a hazy glow around him in real life?
I don't know. But here is the latest A-Rod news: He has signed up with a marketing/management guy who usually deals with musician and actor types.
Good luck, sir.
Monday's F You's — The Lazy Eye of Stuart Scott
It seems the sporting world is particularly susceptible to the “Mondays.” Alex Rodriguez sure knows how to deliver one. I absolutely loved his line from 60 Minutes last night. LOVED IT! “I never felt overmatched on a baseball field!” He just told the whole league to go screw themselves. I’d hate to be his teammate, but admire his skill behind a microphone. For good measure AGod, as my ...

A-Rod, Boras in a fight — River Avenue Blues
I didn’t watch A-Rod’s 60 Minutes appearance last night. I instead subjected myself to an 18-for-52 performance by Eli Manning. Based on the news stories, it seems as though A-Rod had a few choice sound bites.

A-Rod and Boras — ShysterBall
