Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

I don't claim to be an A-Rod fan, but as a collector of game used items from baseball, and particularly the 500 home run club members, I do have a few of A-Rods game used pieces.

That said, I'll tell you all how I feel.


I think A-Rod better drop his "pretty-boy" b.s. forthright, and get his nose to the grindstone NOW. He better focus on making himself REAL.....not this freakshow he has become. He had better get back to his roots but QUICK, focusing on becoming a good teammate and great baseball player.

He better just stick his game-used "stuff" in a vault somewhere, and immediately fire all of his "marketing" staff. Pick it back up after retirement. For Christ's sake, he has all the money in the world. Do you really need to f&%k around with THAT now Alex?? Your reputation is crumbling, Romeo.

GET those idiots on ebay, MVPmarketingmanagement, to unlist your 520th home run bat for the last 4 months for $14,999.00, Alex. You are starting to smell.....

In another year or two, if he continues to prime reporters with all of his self-demonstrated talk-show gossip news about his personal life, dating preferences, steroid use, lack of clutch play, no world championships.......I mean it's passed "circus" 1,000 miles back, and it's heading for straight disgraceful trashy "Jerry Springer" episodes.

A-Rod better snap out of all of this Madonna-latent crap, and get back to what he is supposed to be all about.....being a baseball player.

He made a wrong turn a long time ago....and he's lost in a town he's not familiar with. No, not New York...."Hollywood". Lose the drama now.

Crapping down the throat of the game that has given him everything he has in life.....is not a way to find the promised land (the Hall). I don't care if you end up with 850 homers.....if you continue down this road, your followers, memorabilia, reputation, and life will end up in the same black hole.....and all that money won't make a bit of difference.

I will hang on to the few A-Rod pieces I have....but only in the hopes he salvages his seriously damaged reputation. And from the looks of things, he's going to pass Barry Bonds in more than just the all-time home runs category.

He'll pass him up as the biggest a-hole to ever play the game.

I think stars were allowed to get away with things since they were kids because they were star athletes, and when they are eventually called out they have no idea how to react.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

"Alex Rodriguez was an insecure prima donna who made a clubhouse attendant load his toothbrush with toothpaste after every game in his three seasons with the Texas Rangers, a new book charges.

The Rangers were also required to send a basket of food to the controversial All-Star's hotel suite during road trips, Sports Illustrated columnist Selena Roberts reports in "A-Rod."


During a series in Texas, Roberts writes, A-Rod went to a sex club while his wife, Cynthia, pregnant with their first child, was at home in New York.
Rodriguez also turned off teammates by bragging about wild nights with strippers - and by making clumsy passes at other players' wives and girlfriends.

Roberts also details Rodriguez's obsession with teammate Derek Jeter. Players who accompanied A-Rod to clubs said his favorite pickup line was "Who's hotter, me or Derek Jeter?"

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

ARod has become one of those people about whom any accusation will be believed whether it is true of not. I haven't seen the book and thus cannot judge its validity. Michael Young says the reports that ARod was tipping pitches while Young was playing along side him at second base with the Rangers are "ridiculous." On something like that I would go along with a guy like Young. I think Suicide Squeeze has it right. The guy needs to get back to being nothing but a baseball player. The press is tracking him now and fairly or not they are going to report anything they can. Has there been any checking of ANY other player as to whether they used PED's BEFORE they got to the pros.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

yes, it's a shame that the good things he's done aren't really acknowledged. I hope this Selena Robbins book also mentions how he one time saved a child from getting struck by a vehicle.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

What I believe...what it looks like...what I heard....what I think, doesn't do it for me.

I also can't stand when people make accussations against others, and hide. If you have something to say about someone, then put your name on it. I didn't care what Jose Canseco did, but much of it was true and he also put his name on it.

Why people are able to write books, many times without facts, and able to write them without disclosing their sources, is ridiculous! These type books do a lot of damage to those indivduals who they are written about.

I can tell you, as a former Legal Officer, there were many accussations made against individuals, which later turned out to be untrue. Unfortunatley, it was still in peoples minds, so the damage was still done.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

A common sense question is, why would ARod says "no comment" to the newest accusations if they were patently false? If someone asked you if you used steroids and you didn't, wouldn't your response be "No" or "Hell no" or "That's a bullshit lie" or something else to the negative?

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

If your boss approached you and asked if you've been embezzling company funds (and you haven't) are you going to respond by saying, "No, of course not" or "Hmm. I don't think I'm going to answer that question"? If you give the latter answer, do you think the boss is going to think "He must not have done it"?

If your neighbor asks if you've been stealing her underwear from her clothes line (and you haven't) are you going to respond "What are you talking about? That's ridiculous. Of course not" or are you going to response "No comment." If you say, "No comment" what do you think the perception of your neighbor?

It makes no common sense that you would respond to the above questions, plus false accusations of steroid negative use, in anything but the negative.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

Normally when a person is accused of something and doesn't deny it we believe it is an admission of guilt. The only exception I can think of is that ARod might simply feel that if he talks about the book at all he will be asked about everything in it over and over. Suppose he didn't use PED in High
school and denies it. Then he is asked something about strippers and says I don't want to talk about it. People would then say he denied the drug use but not the strippers. He probably can't say nothing in the book is true, because some things probably are, but if he denies one thing it won't stop until he has admitted or denied everything. And if he does deny something how many people will believe him anyway so just say "no comment" and wait for it to blow over and think the less publicity you give it the quicker it will pass.

Was this necessary? Have you dealt with them? MVPmarketingmanagement happens to be the best source for ARod item at this part of Arod career. Mario and his team are very professional and are willing to negotiate.

When you make statements like this, much of what you say goes out one ear and out the other. I lose interest in the rest you have to say.

I enjoy ready what you says but half the time i cant even complete you messages.

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

ARod seems to be the type who loves the attention, whether it is positive or negative. How often have you ever seen someone on both the front and back covers of local newspapers for the same day?

Re: A-Rod-Selena Roberts Book

Athletes like Terrell Owens want attention. Whether it's good or bad attention doesn't matter to them, so long as it's attention. What other explanation is there for Owens to act like a total imbecile all the time. The time he was doing his sit ups in his front yard for the television cameras was the most childish thing from an adult I'd seen. I'm sure most of the cameramen and reporters present were laughing to themselves as what an idiot Owens was being. But, to Terrell, he was getting that precious attention.
