Good old A-Rod is playing the same game as politicians….,come clean and ask for sympathy.  First of all, if he wants sympathy I suggest he go to the dictionary and look between shit and syphyllis and there will be his sympathy.

He is playing a game that has been played for a long time…..

“You know, one thing I’m learning as I get older, and hopefully a little wiser, is that honesty … the truth will set you free. And I’m just proud that I’m here sharing my story. Regardless of what the union — this is no one’s fault. This is my fault. I’m responsible for this.   And I’m deeply sorry for that.”

He is deeply sorry…..for what?  Getting caught in a lie?  He is so remorseful, but is it because of what he did with steroids or was it being caught?

He came out now trying to head off any backlash.  He figures if he sounds like he is sorry and a bit sad, then the fans will forgive him.  I pray that the fans are not as stupid as he hopes they are…but I am probably just wishful thinking.
