Great Idea

Alex Rodriguez should donate his incentive money for breaking the home run record to charity.

At the risk of sounding like one of those awful wannabe populist columnists -- and with the full realization that this would never, ever happen -- how much fun would it be if A-Rod announced next week that he was donating his $30 million bonus to anti-drug charities? It would be delicious chaos, no? How does anyone root against him? Sure, you could call him a crazy, image-obsessed drug user, but think of the kids! He could even let Hank Aaron pick the charities! The columnists' heads would 'asplode.

It's a great idea, cold medicine or no.

It would be a great idea, but Aroid has already dismissed it. It seems impossible that somebody in his camp hasn't floated this by him already, and he is too cheap and phony to realize it would be the best possible answer to his perdicament.

I cannot imagine anyone caring for more than a week. Arod has reached the point of no return, best thing he can do is say f#$& everybody I am going to roll anyway I like. He donates $30m and some scribe notes that only is 10% of his contract, a deal he does not deserve because of doping. Another writer comments on the tax writeoffs this buys him. The some TV talking head (Rome?) says charity is nice but just hit in the clutch, that is what you get paid for. And so it goes...
Personally, I can forgive the PEDs far more easily than I can excuse his dalliance with that disgusting, repulsive whore. If dating Madonna is not grounds for a ban from baseball I do not know what is.

Wow, dave. Did Madonna's limo run over your dog or something?
