Hey, A-Rod, you know what would help that torn hip labrum heal faster? Human Growth Hormone. Oh, wait, you’re probably already taking that. Illegally.
In case you haven’t heard, Alex Rodriguez is expected to be out four months with a torn labrum in his right hip. Now, I’m not one to wish injury on anybody, but does anyone else feel like he’s experiencing some divine comeuppance in regards to his steroid use–or at least for his flippant apology afterwards. Hmm, maybe that’s what happens when you don’t respect your body.
It must be the day of jackass players receiving their just deserts, what with loudmouth wide receiver Terrell Owens being released by the Dallas Cowboys. Hey, TO, how many playoff victories did you have in Dallas? Oh, yeah, I think the answer is zero, nada, nothing. How much drama, how many controversies? I don’t think I have enough fingers to count such a number on.
I won’t be shedding a tear for either of them.

It is beautiful, isn't it? In a tragic, sickenng way…
The terrible irony is–and this portends more A-Roid revelations–steroids can cause cysts. So maybe A-Hole wasn't just doing them 6 years ago.
You know, it's kind of sad, how insecure these macho, uniquely gifted men are. To alter the size of your 'Nads, damn. That's dedication.
If tomorrow, they came out with a pill that could make us write like Shakespeare but would shrink our prunes, I wouldn't do it. I'd definitely think about it. But from the age of 13 on I made numerous hand-shake agreements with Hank and the twins: I protect them with my life; they keep on working.
T.O. is the quintessential narcissist. Consumed by insecurity he can never recognize, he has punked his way out of a game he was born to play.
These guys who we cheer for, love, want our children to emulate, have more hang-ups than people gifted in less spectacular ways.
For a moment you feel sorry for them, then you just laugh.

Another parallel to Hollywood. How many famous stars entered into acting to mask their own insecurities?

When they open up Stray Rod, I think they will find about 200 needles.
