Meet The Stripper Who Saved The Red Sox
Alex Rodriguez's various alleged dalliances with females of the non-wife persuasion may have cost the Yankees more than anyone thought.

A-Rod's Marital Woes Won't Stop Capitalism

A-Rod's Alleged Madonna Affair Destined For Front Page Infamy

Celeb Rag Says A-Rod And Madonna Are Possibly, You Know, Doing It
Oh, if this is true, this would just be one of the most fantastically mind-blowing developments on the planet.
