'The Onion' is always a good place to swing by anytime a big story hits it the world of sports, especially since their website has devoted an entire section to The Onion Sports Network. They've predictably been having a lot of fun with the A-Rod fallout, highlighted by a cover story reporting his death.
There's this little gem discussing all the new, unflattering nicknames he will now get (yet completely ignores the obvious, and my choice, "A-Roid"), and they also delve into what Curt Schilling thinks of the situation. But the my personal favorite is the breaking news from the Elias Sports Bureau, revealing the best clean player of the steroid era.
'The Onion' isn't the only place A-Rod is taking snipes from. Joe Torre, his former manager, didn't just rail on him in his new book, now he's calling A-Rod's numbers "tainted". Meanwhile, the publishers of a new tell-all book about him, written by Selena Roberts, the author of the SI article which outed him as steroid user, have announced they're moving up the release date. And just to put the ironic cherry atop the bad timing cake, the University of Miami just happen to choose this week to re-name their baseball field "Alex Rodriguez Park".
