A-Rod Issue is finally here!!!

Interview:

Q: What did you think when you heard you were going to be on the latest cover of SI?

A: Oh my god, I was so shocked and honored. I thought my agent was playing a joke on me. I have wanted this so badly since I was a teenager.

Q: Honestly, is playing baseball really that hard?

A: Oh you bet it is! There are ups and downs. I have to travel a lot on private jets and first class and so I really get jet lagged. I also get treated like royalty a lot places. It can get lonely but seriously I really love it. I have a lot of good stats but I won't bore you with any substance of anything I've ever accomplished because I know your readers just want to objectify my appearance.

Q: Will you describe your dream girl?

A: I dunno. Maybe someone who is intelligent and respectful and has good family values. I don't like rudeness and bad manners. I am also very romantic.

Q: If you could create the perfect hollywood pair who would it be?

A: Madonna and me.

Q: If you could change one thing what would it be?

A: I can only change one? Shoot, I can think of several., No seriously I am not someone who likes to take things back or have regrets per se but if I could just erase the last 9 years or so of drug use and philandering that oughta cover it. We all make mistakes right? But look at my chiseled chin!

Q: Finally, something I am sure everyone really is interested in reading about--who is the world's hottest athlete?

A: Lebron James for sure. He's so big and handsome and I hear almost anyone has a shot with him.


Sorry. My irritation with SI Swimsuit Issue. I don't mind pretty women. I just hate the objectification of them in a magazine that is supposed to promote sports -- an activity lots of women actually engage in. Love to hear more about those endeavors. I can't believe grown women with any semblance of intelligence wouldn't call out the asinine questions they were asked in their interviews. If you're gonna put your tits and ass on a sports magazine for all to see please pretend like there might be a brain and some other accomplishments to go with it. Good god.
