ESPN has a poll up asking "Would you want Alex Rodriguez playing for your favorite team?". (He's the dude that somehow made national headlines for doing steroids. As though this should be a concern in the times we live in.)Currently the poll reads:
Yes: 64%
No: 36%
The only area of the country that is more than 50% "No" just happens to be the northeast, where A-Rod's biggest rival, the Red Sox, play.

I don't know. Don't want to disappoint, but I'm a Yankee fan, and I may be in the minority with my fellow Bronx Bomber fans, but I'm not sure I wanted Mr. April on my team even before this news broke. Hate to sound moralistic, but this did not further endear him to me.
I'm an unashamed Yankee fan as well. Arod's a lying azzhole that's really been getting on my nerves now. But what really annoyed me was when I saw this story on major network news. I mean, come on, is it really that important? Let ESPN have the story.
It's A-Rod — he engenders this kind of attention, yet is often so tone-deaf, that when a Big Crisis arises, he's even worse than normal in dealing with it (actually, I think he handled his contract situation a year or two ago worse than he's handled this).
From what I remember (and what I've read — I was a little kid at the time) Reggie at first engendered this kind of attention when he came to the Yankees. But Reggie backed it up that very fall with his World Series performance. A-Rod, it goes without saying, is no Reggie.
No Reggie? Hell he's no Jim Leyritz.
