After hearing New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez's “young and foolish” explanation of steroid using spun out in public yesterday, Salon’s King Kaufman thinks it’s far enough ahead of Jason Giambi’s legally-caveated nonsense of two years ago to be progress.
That said, the King cuts A-Roid no slack on the transparency of his lying.
And, I'm with the King there.
In my opinion, here’s why A-Roid is telling a story lamer than Jason Giambi’s from two years ago:
1. Image;
2. Despite the public showing, the belief that, pun intended, nobody on the Yankees really has his ass covered;
3. Legal fears.
That said, KK is right on one other thing, in another article: It’s ridiculous to have expected A-Roid to be The Great Hispanic Hope, or any other kind of hope, for the future of baseball’s record book, the Hall of Fame, etc.
Meanwhile, running again our latest poll, A-Roid vs. BB-Head Bonds:
