Alex Rodriguez Finally Makes The Right Decision

Well it's time that I get to this topic being that the subject has to do with my NY Yankees. A-Rod finally admitted that he took performance enhancing drugs for three years back in 2003, so there goes the image of not only another athlete but the sport that he represents. There has always been criticism of A-Rod ever since he came to the Yankees because of his salary and the way he chokes in the post season but now we may know why. It had to be hard living with that huge lie over your shoulder especially after going on that national interview with Katie Couric on CBS and denying the very thing that you are now admitting to ESPN's Peter Gammons. So maybe the pressure was to hard to bear for him, but at least yesterday he started to do the right thing. He didn't embarrass himself further by denying claims and rumors like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, or Rafael Palmeiro, and he didn't plead the 5th like the once great Mark Mcgwire. I know that a lot of critics are saying that his admission almost seemed fake and that he was still lying but guess what folks, he is not the first to get caught and he won't be the last. This will continue unless all sports stop turning their heads and start toughening their positions on performance enhancing drugs. So where does A-Rod go from here? Well maybe he starts to be more humble. Maybe he stops trying to upstage the living Yankee legend Derek Jeter. Maybe he becomes more comfortable in his skin. Maybe he starts being a better teammate to his WHOLE team. Maybe he starts to earn that money in the post season. Maybe me and the rest of my pinstripe brethren are asking for too much. All I know is that I have seen people like Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Mark Messier, and even Patrick Ewing make this city fall in love with them and it's not just because of wins; but by the way they carried themselves with respect and professionalism. Alex Rodriguez is a New Yankee and I support him no matter what just like all his teammates will support him when he arrives in Tampa next week for spring training. He will have to endure his critics all season long but he has admitted to his wrong doing. Now newspapers and media outlets can go on and find the other 103 baseball players that were not named yet so this can end and baseball can start to heal from this black eye. Maybe now Alex Rodriguez can stop being A-Rod, and he can really start to be Alex Rodriguez again....

P.S. I think that both the person who leaked the A-Rod story and the person who took that picture of Michael Phelps with that bong; should go to a mirror and look at themselves and know that they are looking at DICKS!!!!
