For the last week, tabloids have been taking batting practice on everyone's favorite Yankee, Alex Rodriguez regarding his marital indiscretions and the possibility that he's dressing up Madonna in his love.
This is newsworthy for the following reasons:
a) It confirms Pay-Rod digs transvestites
b) Following her tryst with Jose Canseco, Madonna has lifted her 20-year moratorium on Latin baseball players
c) Combining Madonna's fake British accent with Pay-Rod's fake persona would arguably create the most irritating couple ever.
This is where sports and Hollywood collide. Remember how well that worked with ESPN Hollywood? This is the slow season for the sports world. Unless you like watching Joey Chestnut gorge hot dogs like Fat Bastard, then baseball is the only thing worth watching. You know SuckCenter producers are jonesing for a way to thrill viewers with, "Who's Now: Celebrity Athlete Couples Edition". Can Nomar and Mia stave off Tony Romo and Joe Simpson? Stay tuned.
It's unfortunate that Rodriguez's marriage is ending due to his "marital misconduct". But at least he's got Kabbalah on his side.
Professional athletes get paid to win games and fill stadiums. And while it's great to have grand visions of them being role models and upstanding citizens, the truth is they rarely are. From Babe Ruth, to the most honest and trustworthy superstar ever, Rodriguez, our sports heroes typically try to score as much with the ladies as they do on the field.
