A-Rod Press Conference Video

After admitting he had taken performance enhancing drugs a few years back while playing for the Texas Rangers, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez apologized today in a press conference.

“Baseball is bigger than Alex Rodriguez,” he said with a smile on his face. But that smile turned to an awkward grimace just before apologizing to his teammates.

“And to my teammates…” he said, pausing for a very uncomfortable 36 seconds, during which time he fidgeted, bit his lip and seemed on the verge of tears before continuing on. “Thank you.” He then sat back, biting his lip again as the camera shutters were heard snapping away.

What do you think? Was it the performance of a lifetime or a genuine apology? Ya know, I just gotta say, it’s not hard to shed a tear when $250 million is on the line…
