^ Well, it fits. I like it too.
And, he is a liar and a cheat. He denied using PEDs until the evidence was all laid out, then said he was sorry and he would never do it again, then he did it again and lied.
A-Roid is a disgrace, regardless as to whether a bunch of other major league ball players are also suspected of using PEDs and just haven't been caught. He used, he got caught, he lied.
Based on what I'm reading, most New Yorkers and MLB fans found his apology vague and self-serving. They wanted him to admit specifically what he did and hold a news conference. He's gotta testify in his cousins upcoming drug trial though and I can't see his attorney green-lighting a public Q&A that could put him in legal hot water even if he wanted to come completely clean (which I doubt he does).
Maybe he can win some people over if he plays like a badass and helps the Yankees have an incredible season. The Yankees sure have a lot invested in the man.
Snip:
Rodriguez, who turns 40 in July, has been replaced by Chase Headley at third base and will have to compete for playing time at designated hitter and as an infield backup.
Rodriguez is owed $61 million over the final three seasons of his contract, and the Yankees say they do not plan to pay five $6 million bonuses detailed in a marketing agreement for historic achievements he may reach. Rodriguez is fifth on the career list with 654 home runs, and the deal contemplates the first bonus being triggered when he ties Willie Mays at 660.
