Comments on: A-Rod has his say on 60 Minutes http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/16/a-rod-has-his-say-on-60-minutes/ A New York Yankees blog by Sam Borden, Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:46:15 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Apologistfornoone http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/16/a-rod-has-his-say-on-60-minutes/comment-page-2/#comment-230834 Apologistfornoone Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:57:48 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/16/a-rod-has-his-say-on-60-minutes/#comment-230834 As someone said about ARod above, "he seems to be sincere"... Oy. Like Pete said, some things he said seemed to be pretty well rehearsed. It's too bad so many column inches and minutes of air time are being wasted analyzing a guy who probably hasn't had an unscripted minute since leaving the Mariners. When does ARod get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? As someone said about ARod above, “he seems to be sincere”…

Oy.

This followed his concern with Boros' advice and conduct during the process. This leads me to conclude that he is considering a lawsuit for loss of reputation and the like for Boros' ill-advised recommendations and actions perhaps with an end in view to renegotiate if not vitiate he 15 mil or so that might otherwise be forthcoming to Mr B. After all, 15 mil is a 1/2 year's work for Alex!!!

I'm a Jet fan to begin with, and the Giants looked spotty last night, but New England will have to win that one on the road to go 16-0.

But I understand why he wouldn't. It's his last contract, Boras has no major future use to Arod anyway. There's no need to so publicly slap someone in the face, especially someone who has played a huge role in putting you where you are now. I think Arod is doing the right thing, taking control of his own life while being the bigger person at the same time. About Andy, I will continue to support him as a Yankee but have to admit not as much of a fan of his as before. I believe the Mitchell report is a sham. I believe Andy was not trying to juice to enhance his performance. I believe he was just trying to heal (but that in a way is trying to beat the system and to cheat nature). I respect him for coming out to admit his use for two days, I just wish his apology didn't come with so many caveats of "IF it was an error in judgment...I apologize" or "IF I let people down...I'm sorry". He knows it's an error in judgment and he knows it's not the right thing to do, so he should just say so. I was hoping Arod would fire Boras too, that would be a loud and clear statement.

What did A-rod ever do to Canseco that he’s out to get him? Why would a guy try to diss somebody for nothin?" What Arod did was he became a top headline grabber in sports so Canseco decided to use his name to sell more books. Arod may or may not have used PED's (I believe he hasn't) but either way I will never base anything on Canseco as my source. Why do some people jump on every chance to beat up Pete for commenting on the Boss or football etc? It's his blog and it's not like he's writing a whole entry on the Pats here. We've all learned to filter through things we don't care as much about like ads and other stuff online, on TV and on the streets haven't we? Just curious why people go out of their way to criticize the host when they visit his house. Harry asked: “I don’t get one thing. What did A-rod ever do to Canseco that he’s out to get him?
