Is A-Rod an Asshole?

My utter disdain for A-Rod's choking ways is very well documented, but in this instance I can't kill the guy. Like I've always said, I wouldn't mind being rich, but screw being famous. Getting harrassed all the time, 'specially when you're out trying to get some eats, 'specially in New York where folks aren't supposed to be star struck, just has to be a hellacious pain in the ass. I simply can't kill him here. (Thanks Johnnie)

Of course he'd just give her a dainty little middle finger, like a frail bitch. Jeter would've been a real man about it and loudly said, "Fuck you".

Seriously, good for A-Rod. How that lady described the situation made her sound so annoying.

I wish more athletes would just out-and-out tell fans to go screw themselves when they come up to them in situations such as this and ask for autographs/pictures/etc. That has to be incredibly irritating.

If that chick was even remotely hot the story would have had a differently ending.

"Reader Sandy" is clearly from outta town and here in the big city on a Saturday night to celebrate her birthday --everyone knows Saturday is for B&T's.

As many people know, I have no love for the Yankees, actually I have nothing but contempt and hate -- but stories like this ACTUALLY make me sympathetic to any celebrity in NY who has to deal with this kind of crap. They live here b/c we don't care who they are -- period.

The way I see it, A-Rod was not being the A--hole, this chick was. The man JUST sat down with his buddies for dinner. Give the guy a break, b/c the last thing he wanted on his Saturday night, when half the city already hates him for choking when it mattered, is some drunk birthday girl over fed on over-priced food coming up to him with a frikkin' plastic Ricky's tiara on her head to take a picture.

So, Reader Sandy is the a--hole, if for nothing else, making me like A-Rod, even if it's just for today.

What if you asked for a picture with A Rod's wife? I bet she's hot.

[BF Hoodrich]

M. Butler--you would think so, wouldn't you? I mean, $250 million, surely you could acquire a comely enough trophy wife with that kind of scratch. Unless, of course, you're Alex Rodriguez.

Once more, the disparity between Jeter and A-Rod is crystal clear.

I'd hate to be in that situation. Man, he just wanted to have dinner. He's not on the clock. Mail a letter to his agent and he'll send you an autograph.

I'm from out-of-town. Can someone describe "huffing & puffing" for me? Sounds like the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf story. Did someone's house get blown down?

Or is this drug-related?
