Roberts, Harvey Dent, San Mariano de Panama

Yes she got the story, and was obviously right about it. That doesn't change the fact that Selena Roberts is a self serving bitch.

She buried the Duke Lacrosse kids a few years ago during the entire proceeding. Even after they were exonerated, she refused to paint the kids in a positive light. Her bleeding heart attitude toward the poor stripper who falsely accused college kids of rape says a lot about her character. (Side note- is there anything more brazenly selfish than making up a rape charge? It destroys the character of who you are talking about and is a slap in the face to anybody who has had to deal with actually being raped. That's disgusting.)

I'm sure Rodriguez is telling some form of truth about how aggressive she was while "investigating" him. Get on Rodriguez all you want, "this lady" is no saint in this. She wasn't doing this for journalistic integrity or righteousness. She's been writing a book about Rodriguez and has been trying to dig up dirt on him.

If her sources can get her one name, her sources can get her the rest of the names. She didn't push for it because she got the name that will sell her books.



I can't help but compare Alex Rodriguez to the Harvey Dent character from the Dark Knight. He was supposed to be the one who rescued us from the evil of steroids by making the homerun record pure again. But in the process he was corrupted by the evil around him, and became the poster child for the problem. The problem is there is no Batman to fall on the sword for A-Rod, and Two Face is now known publicly.

This whole mess has left me even more cynical than I was before about professional athletes. The only two guys left who it would kill me to hear took steroids are Jeter and Rivera. And even Jeter... it wouldn't be the most unbelievable thing in the world. Look at his rookie card vs. when he was banging Jessica Biel.

And his numbers in say, 1999, are way up there compared to everything else he's put up.

Sigh. Who knows. I hope he didn't.

That leaves me with Rivera, who I sincerely doubt has ever taken them. He's been consistently lanky and dominant his whole life. That's our hero in this mess.
