Part of me wants to say "How convenient" and another "poor guy" but
news today that Alex Rodriguez will need hip surgery also brings to
mind a few other thought: "baseball related?", "why did you wait?" And
still again, "how convenient." According to A-Rod's brother via ESPN
Deportes, the worldwide leader in latin sports, number one three will
need hip surgery and is expected to miss up to 10 weeks! Think MLB
and the New York media will forget the whole steroid thing Alex?
Hardly. So my question, as the story says, if he had issues into last
season (would explain his performance down the stretch), why did he
wait? Was it even sports related or related to his rendezvous with
Madonna at Jerry Seinfeld's Long Island mansion last year? Ah well,
the Yanks still have another $200 million in players, someone will
step in. Part of me thinks he just wants to be like Chase Utley though.
So, even all the bloggers on ESPN can't find T.O. a good home.
Baltimore maybe? KC? Someone will take a shot, I'm telling you, 1
year contract! Put a "no being a baby" clause in there. Ok, maybe
"baby" is too harsh. No being a toddler and fighting for the media and
your quarterback's attention clause. Oh Tony Romo, "that my
quarterback.". Who can forget the pill incident either. Someone like
that I worry about after football. What job is he prepared for? The
media, I think not. Hopefully he doesn't become a serial killer and
try hunting everyone who wronged him in a major way. Scumbags...
So, I admit, I'm guilty. In most states nowadays, it is illegal to
talk on your cell phone without a handsfree device while driving.
After getting the car washed on this lovely NJ day, I needed to take,
my favorite (honestly), a NJ jughandle u-turn. Beside me at the light
was a local police officer in a marked, yes marked, police car. At
the next light we came to, he was beside me at my 11 o'clock. Behind
pulled a tan Prius, the smug lady inside had a small child in the rear
carseat. No kidding, for the entire 60 seconds at the stop light he
talked to her phone, on speaker phone, but still holding it with one
hand. Presumably, she was speaking to her husband about what to make
for dinner and not doing the laundry, because it looked heated. Light
turns green, cop accelerates and cuts in front of the car in my lane
and slowed down. The woman stupidly accelerated past the officer,
STILL ON THE PHONE and within seconds, got lit up. I was shocked.
Usually I'll just honk at someone that oblivious to the world as I
drive by with no cops around. This time I honked as I drove past her
AND the cop behind her! I'll have to ask my brother the cop how much
that ticket is worth. Nice laugh on a busy day.
