Reading from a piece of paper=phoney

 

Now we get the fake crying when talking about his teammated.

Anything significant?

Sorry that 10:45 Am time is PST 12:45 PM CT

Is he crying? Theres no crying in baseball.

Said it was him and his cousin , no one else. Took something with a street name of "boley" as best as I can make out what he said. His cousin didn't distribute it to anyone else. He was young and stupid. Said it was over the counter stuff. Not even sure if he and his cousin took it the right way. Says it was injected.

He looked like he was about to cry when he was about to address his teammates to took a really long pause maybe a minute or 2 , took a swig of water then said just "thanks" and sort of just slumped back into his chair.

just say you knew they were steroids. at this point, big f***ing deal.

He was young and stupid. We get it.

Q and A still ongoing between media and ARod.

s*** man - he got caught. "if you didn't know it was wrong why did you hide it?"

 

"....... good question"

"Does Madonna look as bad naked as she does with clothes on?"

I have no interest in this press conference, if I wanted to be lied to I would go to a strip club with a fistfull of $20's...

 

Also, the "young" excuse doesn't fly for me he was in MLB for something like 5-7 years and he had a $250m contract, if you want big boy money and responsabilities you have to play by big boy rules.

he's playing the victim.

Overall impression is that he's being as honest as he can be. Basically he's saying he was just clueless, he had a neck injury and decided to stop. I would ask him what the real name of this "boley" is . Sounds short for bolic or anabolic. No ones asked him if he knows what is actually was yet.

That is if you believe him, i have a hard to believing he only did it the years he said he did. He hired a PR firm, this was all planned

I thought he did as good as he probably could. He sounded a little too much like McGuire with the lets move forward stuff. Couldve left a bit of that out.

He didn't know what he was doing, or how to take it correctly??? Aren't there high school students supposedly using this crap? How does a high school student know what he is doing, but a multi-millionaire in the friggin' major leagues, who has probably see the stuff around for YEARS not know what the heck is going on??? So he is either a complete moron for not knowing what he was doing, or he is a complete moron for knowing what he was doing and a liar. No matter what, he is a complete moron.

It's hard to get a man to understand something when there's $250 million reasons for him to not understand it.

Its all such garbage...more people are involved...by saying its a cousin in the dominican, he's trying to keep people from digging deeper. He's a piece of crap like the rest of them...a rich piece of crap...but still a piece of crap.

There is no such thing as an over-the-counter drug that is injected.

 

He really froze up when asked if he thinks he shouldn't be in the record books or allowed to receive money if he breaks the HR record. Also, when asked wouldn't he feel more pressure playing for the Yankees than for Texas. He was a lot like Mark McGwire at this press conference.

"I got the stuff from my cousin, he's from the Dominican...you guys wouldn't know him."

 

Isn't that Weird Science???
