Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

I hear it all the time and the question usually comes from a female.

I am going to tell you why, you are probably not going to like the answers but I am a man of truth so pay close attention.

1- Kobe Bryant

I am minding my own business watching the tournament, sipping on some sweet tea and getting my Twitter on (Follow me for instant BSO updates http://www.twitter.com/infamousbso) when I get a text telling me I should check my email about a story on Alex Rodriguez.

Now I am thinking this is more steroid talk or maybe his cousin is getting a reality show (Love of Injecting on VH1), but no the New York Daily News is reporting that Alex was courting a "Madam". You heard me correctly they are claiming that ARod's "Pimp Focus" was former Manhattan Madam Kristin Davis. Here are some of the crazy details as well as a few more pictures for ummmmmmmm professional courtesy.

Let me make one thing clear I don't believe Alex Rodriguez at all. It was a good story that he told this afternoon, but in reality it was a lie. What it a 100% lie? You never can tell, but trust me you aren't getting the whole truth.

With that being said I beg you and the "bias mainstream media" to let it go. ARod cheated, but here is the thing the majority of baseball players cheated. This wasn't the exception this was the norm. It is 2009 this allegedly last happened in 2003 it is a dead issue to me and it should be a dead issue to you.

If I am the people handling Alex Rodriguez right now (and trust me he is being told exactly what to do) I would strongly suggest that he no longer speaks on the subject. If reporters ask him about it he should simply and politely say that he has said everything he is going to say on the topic.

I truly don't understand what the big deal is with Major League Baseball and steroids. Our good friend Mike Florio at ProFootBallTalk.com points out how Patriots Special Team Ace Larry Izzo is going to be a witness at the Barry Bonds perjury trial and will admit receiving banned substances and absolutely no one cares about that.

Dear Arod,

First off fire your makeup artist ASAP. I understand you wanted to look bad and hurt on camera but looking like you have been in a tanning booth for 72 hours straight is not a good look for anyone. It is hard to take anyone seriously when they look like the Red Skull.

Beyond that I think you did a good job. Obviously your "crisis management" team seeing what happened to Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens realized that a denial even a soft denial would hurt you more than help you, so they only thing you could was admit it.

With that being said it is still obvious to me you are lying, but I am not the person you are trying to convince am I? You wanted to convince the America people that you were just a stupid kid doing what everyone else was doing. For the most part I think you did that. Most people are sick and tired of talking about steroids so just by you admitting your guilt you automatically are going to have it better than Bonds and Clemens because there can't be a "witch hunt" after a confession.

You are probably thinking to yourself what do I do now? I think you should study the case of Kobe Bryant.

I lost my faith in athletes about five minutes after Kobe Bryant told a bunch of reporters after his rape and cheating allegations surfaced:

"Come on guys you know me."

Obviously we didn't and as much as we like to think in the media that we understand athletes we truly don't. I have pointed out that 99.9% of athletes are lying and cheating in some capacity. That .01% that didn't use to be Doug Christie, but he has been replaced by Kurt Warner (even though he seems a little too perfect).

So no I wasn't surprised to hear that Alex Rodriguez may have been caught using steroids in 2003 even though he has denied using in the past and neither should you.

What you see on your TV screen is not a real person in regards to athletes. What you are seeing is an actor portraying a role. Some are a lot better than others, but they all are faking. To be honest the media prefers the actor to someone being real. Just think about it more athletes are persecuted when they are honest as oppose to knowing when to "say the right things".

Back to ARod here are the particular details of his alleged use of steroids back in 2003 as told by SI.com:

Though MLB's drug policy has expressly prohibited the use of steroids without a valid prescription since 1991, there were no penalties for a positive test in 2003. The results of that year's survey testing of 1,198 players were meant to be anonymous under the agreement between the commissioner's office and the players association. Rodriguez's testing information was found, however, after federal agents, armed with search warrants, seized the '03 test results from Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., of Long Beach, Calif., one of two labs used by MLB in connection with that year's survey testing. The seizure took place in April 2004 as part of the government's investigation into 10 major league players linked to the BALCO scandal -- though Rodriguez himself has never been connected to BALCO.

Primobolan, which is also known by the chemical name methenolone, is an injected or orally administered drug that is more expensive than most steroids. (A 12-week cycle can cost $500.) It improves strength and maintains lean muscle with minimal bulk development, according to steroid experts, and has relatively few side effects. Kirk Radomski, the former New York Mets clubhouse employee who in 2007 pleaded guilty to illegal distribution of steroids to numerous major league players, described in his recent book, Bases Loaded: The Inside Story of the Steroid Era in Baseball by the Central Figure in the Mitchell Report, how players increasingly turned to drugs such as Primobolan in 2003, in part to avoid detection in testing. Primobolan is detectable for a shorter period of time than the steroid previously favored by players, Deca-Durabolin. According to a search of FDA records, Primobolan is not an approved prescription drug in the United States, nor was it in 2003. (Testosterone can be taken legally with an appropriate medical prescription.)

Recall the Giants' crowning glory during Superbowl 2008? Pats coach Bill Belichick remembers all too well when he rushed hurriedly out on the field with seconds left to go in the game to "congratulate" Giants' coach, Tom Coughlin on his victory before storming off to sulk like a spoiled schoolgirl that got dumped before prom. If Alex and the crew over at Jeopardy have anything to say about it, he'll never live this "hissy fit" down! Check out this clip of Jeopardy blasting Belichick

You can thank our friends over at the thejetsblog.com for this one

Classic "hissy fit" action and all lol

What is this the Guitar Hero plague? First its David Cook and David Archuleta and then unforgettably Heidi Klum OTHER Guitar Hero Commercial. Yea yea I know! Not another commercial post but a girl has to show off her humorous side. Last time I checked a sense of humor is sexy in a woman or so I've been told *smile

This may be "Risky Business" but Kobe rocking it out in boxer shorts along with A-Rod and Phelps + Tony Hawk in a dufus helmet and toy drums on a skateboard= MAD funny! lmao I couldn't resist this one

In light of the latest gossip scandal involving Alex Rodriguez and Madonna of all people, I have decided to come up with a manual for cheating athletes. I like to refer to it as:

THE 10 BONA FIDE COMMANDMENTS FOR THE CHEATING ATHLETE:

I- IF THOU SHALL WIFE HER, THOU BETTER MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU CHEAT.

As an athlete I can definitely understand why you would want to get married. You want to have some kids (not out of wedlock). You want someone you can confide in. You want someone you can be yourself around. You want someone who loves you for who you are and not what you are. Plus on top of that, it doesn't hurt to have a nice wholesome image for potential advertisers. As they say, getting married helps the "Q" rating.

But whomever you decide to marry, you better be sure she can handle the fact you are going to have many "side" women. Also, she better be able to handle the fact that women all over the country will be coming at you 24/7 365 days a year. Some women have the fantasy that if they marry an athlete he will be faithful. That is a recipe for disaster. So you may have to sit your lady down and explain to her that she is the main girl. Is that enough to make her happy? If not, you're going to have a lot of issues.

II- THOU SHALL ALWAYS HAVE A PRENUP.

In the immortal of Kanye West: "WE WANT PRENUP".

This should be the simplest rule of all. You make millions of dollars while she works part time of at Payless. That doesn't add up to 50/50. Even if you're following these commandments, there is still a good shot that your wife will leave you (see: Michael Jordan). So you need to protect yourself legally. If she doesn't want to sign the prenup, that should be your first clue that she might not be the one you want to marry. Be fair in the prenup. Offer enough money for her to be comfortable and more importantly to keep her mouth shut after the divorce.

III- THOU SHALL NOT CARE IF WIFEY CHEATS ON YOU.

I like to call this the Shaq rule. Shaq follows the cheating code to a tee. However, the one part that has cost him is, when he found out his wife was cheating on him, he flipped out and filed for divorce not realizing that all the dirt he has done would come to light.

If you are going to have different women in all 50 states and be gone half the time don't be naïve enough to think your wife won't sleep with the pool boy, after sitting at home alone in a huge house taking care of a couple of kids and not getting any sex. Don't be naïve and think your wife won't go to a club and sleep with a random guy who looks like Usher and maybe do it in the club. Don't be naïve if a "George" is whispering sweet nothings in your wife's ear, talking about how she deserves better and ends up playing "Bed Gammon" with her. She doesn't want a divorce, but she does want attention so don't overreact when it happens if you want to keep the majority of your savings account.

IV- THOU SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT IS CHEAPER TO KEEP HER.

Simply put, who would you rather have deciding where your funds go: you or a judge? Much better to pay now than later. So if your wife sees you on TMZ.com with four strippers in a hot tube popping bottles it is better to just give her the American Express card than to have her visit the lawyer's office the next day. Take the hit and move on.

V- THOU SHALL NEVER SLEEP WITH ANYONE IN COLORADO NOR ANYONE NAMED KATIE WITH A JOURNALISM DEGREE, EVEN FROM A COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

I like to call these the "Kobe Bryant and Superhead Rules." Something about Colorado and girls named Katie just seems like a recipe for disaster. Actually, you should stay away from Colorado, Utah, Montana, North & South Dakota, West Virginia and any other place that has more mountains than Wal-Mart's. You should also stay clear of females named Katie, Nancy, Brit, Molly or any other name that sounds like they could have been an extra in Beverly Hills 90210.

Any woman that tells you that "writing" is her hobby should immediately be dismissed from your potential cheating list. The list thing you need is a scorned lover deciding the way she is going to pay off her student loans is by writing a tell-all book about how you like to dress up in a in a Batman costume before having sex.

Every year, the April showers bring May flowers and among those flowers are different types of pansies. And the biggest pansy of them all just happens to wear pinstripes in the Bronx. Whether it involves fake displays of passion on the field or real displays of passion with various women off the field (hello Madonna), you can always count on Alex Rodriguez to create headlines in the sports world for all the wrong reasons. Most recently, A-Rod decided to skip the Home Run Derby during All-Star festivities. That usually wouldn't be a bad thing most years except that this year's events are being held in YANKEE STADIUM! A-Rod has given the media the lame excuse that he does not want to mess up his swing for the second half of the season. Forget the fact that he always finds a way to mess up his swing as soon as the playoffs begin each year. The real reason he doesn't want to participate is because he is scared of choking in front of the home fans (again) and coming up short in the Derby. Given the performance by Josh Hamilton last night, I doubt A-Rod would have made the finals anyway. It's funny how he tries so hard to get people to like him, yet the one time he has a chance to do something genuine for the fans, he runs and hides behind an excuse. You have to wonder if A-Rod will ever "get it" or if he will go down in history as the most talented and uninspiring player in this history of the game. It's time for A-Rod to man up.

According to the NY Daily News, A-Rod and his wife Cynthia are separated. I have to admit I am surprised only because I pegged her as one of those trophy wives that was in it for the fame and fortune. She could very well still be because I have hard time believing any woman not named Jackie Christie married to a professional athlete would be naive enough to think their husband is faithful. And well most women who marry professional athletes are usually in it for the fame and fortune so when it comes to affairs they usually look the other way. This is just under three months since the birth of their second child. Of course maybe this was inevitable after A-Rod was caught with a stripper in Toronto last year and they have been trying to save something that wasn't working anymore. Time will tell if it leads to divorce after all A-Rod makes $35 million a year with his salary and endorsements. But as of now the story is that A-Rod is hooking up with Madonna and his wife with Lenny Kravitz. Say what you want about the Yankees but they are never boring and the storylines outside the dugout are enough to retain the interest of the casual fan.

Why does it seem like whenever a professional athlete's wife talks that the only outcome can be bad? A-Rod's wife during an interview let out the fact that during the birth of their first child that A-Rod fainted. She added that the nurses were paying more attention to him than they were of to her. She also points out that she thinks her husband is a wimp about a lot of things.

While it is nothing to be ashamed of getting a little lightheaded during childbirth, the last thing A-Rod needs is his wife yapping that he is a wimp. He has enough perception problems as it is. Next thing you know, she will be talking about how his personal trainer shot her in the ass with HGH or she might just misremember that.

Here is the problem with Jose Canseco. On the one-hand, you know he knows who's been dirty in Major League Baseball. Therefore, one has to take his accusations seriously because, time-and-time again, he has been proven correct when people wrote him off as being crazy and vindictive after his accusations. Now, on the flip side, Canseco is crazy and vindictive so you never know when he is really telling the truth or when he is just trying to get some free publicity and sell more books.

This brings us to his latest accusation that he introduced Alex Rodriguez to a steroids dealer. I, personally, don't dismiss his claim as easily as others for the reasons I just spoke about before. But, it's hard to take it seriously when the claim comes after it is revealed by Canseco, himself, that Rodriguez tried to play "Bed Gammon" with his ex-wife.

This is the Catch-22 with Canseco. He could be telling the truth, but it's so hard to believe him because he is such an untrustworthy character. My overall assessment is that, normally, when Canseco blows smoke, fire is not far behind.
