Consider Derek Jeter


As the Winter Meetings roll on, I am already tired of thinking about trading Doc. By the way, when I said that the team should consider building a team around the franchise's best player, I didn't mean after Doc was saying he wanted to test free agency (and as I recall, he said test free agency, not 'get the hell out of Toronto, for sure'), but that it should be a team philosophy in general. Let's be built to win every year.

Instead I'm thinking about Tiger Woods. I honestly think that we should probably all mind our own business, as he is hardly the first (nor the last)athlete (or man) to sleep around on his wife. The only people he should answer to are his wife, and possibly his kids.

11, you say? 11 is probably quite modest for an athlete. Men, as a rule, are attracted to beauty. Women are attracted to power. Money and fame are attached to power.

Why was Tiger having so many affairs? Because he could.

The only thing I don't understand about pro-athletes is why they get married so damn young in the first place?

You are away a lot, you have a lot of money, you have boobs being thrown at you, why did you bother getting married?

I say sow your oats, screw thousands, but do it single. And neither your wife or your bank account get hurt.

Consider Derek Jeter. This is a man with a lot of women in his black book. Mariah Carey, Adriana Lima, Jessicas Alba and Biel, not to mention the thousands of no names. But he never got married. His pile of money is not in danger. He'll never have to buy a "Kobe special".


And regarding Bob McGowan and his mocking of AA hiring scouts. "It's not 1965." Well, first off, a flow chart never beats a guy who has a fantastic eye for current talent, future talent and swagger.


Second, baseball, much like the Beatles, rocked in the 60s.
