Here’s A-Rod Posing For A Photo In An Airport While Holding An US Weekly Magazine

Via Sportress of Blogitude  |  February 02, 2012
A reader named Carl passed along the above photo to Deadspin that he took at about 8:00 a.m. on Thursday morning at the Miami airport featuring none other than Alex Rodriguez and a couple of Carl’s buddies. What makes this photo especially amusing is the magazine tucked under A-Rod’s arm: an issue of Us Weekly. [...]

Video: Boston Radio Host Asks Madonna if Alex Rodriguez Has a Painting of Himself as a Half-Man, Half-Horse in His House

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  February 02, 2012
For those of us who have experienced the Toucher and Rich Morning Show on Boston’s 98.5 The Sports Hub, the craziest question Madonna was asked at the Super Bowl on Thursday came as no surprise.  I’m sure Madonna has fielded questions that are much more bizarre than the one Rich Shertenlieb threw at her in Indianapolis, but probably not in a sports setting.  As only...

Rumor: Eric Chavez still in play

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  February 02, 2012

Despite this there hasn’t been much back and forth between the two sides. However, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com that the oft-injured third baseman could still join the...

Rich from Toucher & Rich provides us with the best interview question of Super Bowl XLVI

Via The Nosebleeds  |  February 02, 2012
For those of you (like Tay) that think Dennis & Callahan is the best morning sports talk radio show in Boston, you are all incompetent morons. Toucher & Rich with Fred Toucher and Rich Shertenlieb on 98.5 The Sports Hub is not only far-and-away the best morning show this side of the Mississippi, it's also the best god damn radio show on the East Coast. The guys are hilarious...

5 Athletes You’d Be Surprised To Find on a List of the 2011/2012 World’s Highest-Paid Athletes

Via Unathletic  |  February 02, 2012
Today, we curiously take a peak at some of the highest-paid athletes from 2011. It should come as no surprise to anyone to find the likes of Tiger Woods, Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant, and Alex Rodriguez. Others were somewhat surprising… Forbes magazine earnings totals were derived from salaries, bonuses, prize money, appearance fees, and licensing and endorsement income. The...

What if U.K. Premier League Teams Were Countries?

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  January 30, 2012
There’s a lot of ink given to the high salaries of sports stars in the United States. Last year, not including endorsements, for example: the MLB’s Alex Rodriguez earned $32 million, the NFL’s Tom Brady was paid $20 million, the NBA’s Kobe Bryant took in a cool $24 million and NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson pulled in $7 million. If you add endorsements into...
