this all very interesting Selena, but "Gossip Girl" is already fully staffed with writers, and Tina Fey already made "Mean Girls" so we're gonna have to release this as a poorly constructed sports tell-all book, and just so you feel at ease we'll have everyone at SI stick up for you when people wonder why a respected journalist wrote a book about A-Rod not being well liked in high school, cheating on his wife & being a bad tipper.
I REALLY hope all of the steroid stuff in the book isn't just gossip & "I can't say for sure, but a guy I talked to said..." stuff. That would just be really sad for journalism. Is the MSM collectively trying to make amends for completely dropping the ball on PED's for 20-maybe 30 years? Its one thing to take a guy down based on factual information, test results, etc. Its another thing to write this book, then get all defensive about it when some the few credible journalists still working find holes in it, and then going on Dan Patrick's show and basically saying "He could barely lift 100 pounds, then 6 months later he could lift 300. There's no "might have" about it to me." Is this documented? Or did someone you talked to tell you he could barely lift 100 pounds, "off the record"?
I saw him shoot Kennedy, there's your follow up book. Get started.
Besides, who else is he going to look up to? Doug Mientkiewicz? (Who by the way, was a high school teammate of A-Rod's and says the steroid accusations are bunk.
Really? A-Rod's best (only?) friend in baseball stuck up for him? That's it guys, story over.
He also regularly rescues unwanted puppies from his local SPCA. Sure, he feeds them to his pet burmese python, but are you telling me those dogs would rather be kept in cages than contributing to the food chain?
The book also claims that A-Rod used to brag about "wild nights with strippers," which sounds like every locker room (or office conference room, for that matter) that I've ever been in...
he would make awkward passes at teammates' wives and girlfriends
"Damn girl, where'd you get delts like that? You are one powerbuilt woman. Let's go to my place and I'll do a line of horse vitamins off your trapezius."
Then how can you explain the whole Madonna thing? If he was that serious about dental hygiene then he would not be putting any part of Madonna in his mouth.
