Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
If you have any interest in A-Rod, it’s not a bad read and includes deliciously ironic quotes such as, “New York is one of a kind. It’s made me ask all the tough questions. It’s brought out the best in me. There are some things I have to work on. And that part is fun. Revealing the truth about yourself is always good.”
But the highlight is, without a doubt, the series of photos that accompany the piece. Here’s a taste:
A-Rod's post-divorce settlement apartment is apparently "Spartan-chic," or he has no money to afford sheets or pants that fit. And, after the jump, A-Rod does exactly what you’d suspect he does in his spare time: makes out with himself.
The feature mentions that Rodriguez was taking Patron shots during the photo shoot. Let this serve as further evidence that a night of tequila never, ever ends well. Unless hooking up with a strange man in an abandoned apartment is what you had in mind.

Upon seeing thsee photos, I realized that he could very well be gay. I have no clue why that just now hit but he just looks gay. Oh well, he’s still a great, great player.(regardless of Roids)

Poor A-Rod. I would rip him some more on my blog, but he’s too easy of a mark…

Self -love: Ego operates on the basis of fear. Ego says, "I am alone; I am separate from others. I am the only one who cares about me. There isn’t enough love in the world, and I will probably never have the love I need. I have a right to be angry, judgmental, and impatient. If I can’t have love I will take whatever substitutes are available: money, sex, drugs, power." What a sad, sad man. And now I hurl…

A-Rod goes to the Dr. and says "Doc, everytime I look at myself I get a woody, can you help and tell me why this keeps happening? The Dr. looks at A-Rod, scratches his head and says "because you’re a pssy".

I am beginning to think Alex Rodriguez is from the same planet as Michael Jackson, Dennis Rodman and RuPaul…and it isn’t Earth.

Millions of us love Alex, including Papi…interesting how the story where Papi spoke about the closeness between them and the depth of that friendship is practically the ONLY story about either guy that has ever gotten instantly buried.
Gee, its almost as if reality that doesn’t suit the narrative doesn’t even…
exist?
