The Interview

I have now seen the whole interview like everyone else and I have reaction. I have to say I think he did a good job, I know some people feel he is still lying and all that but the bottom line is that he did admit it and didn't try and say he took it because of injury or anything like that. He did say a lot about GNC and the culture of the time and basically saying everyone was doing it. He did say he is the only one to blame and that he was sorry and all that. I know people will always pick him apart but I think he did the right thing here. I was suprised by the allegations against Selena Roberts who broke the story that she basically stalked him, i really think he should sue her because why did she just get his name and it is suspicious that she is writing a book about him. He did say he wants to educate and help children now and would like to work in Washington Heights on that where he was born. He said a lot about wanting to move on and he has a lot of years and only those 2 were him being stupid,naive but to judge him on the other years. I do think he was the most honest of any of the guys that have been caught. I mean Giambi was forgiven and he really didn't say much other then apologizing for something he did but wouldn't say what he exactly did and Pettitte just said it was because of an injury which is ridiculous also. He said he is more worried about winning a world series then being in the Hall of Fame and its not up to him, they will vote for who they want too. He just said the Canseco stuff isn't true about him hooking Alex up with a known dealer. I hope they don't dig deeper into this because if the stuff about the reporter stalking him and the Canseco stuff isn't true oh boy is he in trouble. I will have to believe him and lets hope they just move on from this and let baseball be played. I also hope the other names come out now and they move away from him and onto them. I want to say once again I believe people will say a lot of things but the bottom line is if the Yankees win and he helps them everyone will love him. He said even though he is the king of tabloids he wouldn't trade his life for anything. He said he will tell his daughters that he was stupid for 3 years and went after Selena Roberts again. He said he will tell kids to work hard, what you have is enough, dont make the same mistakes that I made. He said this is the worst thing that happened to him along with his divorce, he is sorry he is always in the middle of these controversies and wants to move on. He said he hasn't read Joe Torres book and he has a lot of respect for him and has no problems and thought the year he left they had the best relationship. He said in the clubhouse everyone makes fun of him from the manager, the players, the ball boys and that he likes it, he is a good reciever of jokes, not a good taker. He said he is answering all the questions today and isn't worried that the truth is the truth. He said baseball can be as much fun again like in his rookie year because he wants to win a title. He cant wait to get to spring training to have this gorilla off his back, to have the team he has and to be over the divorce stuff. He said now he can just go out and play the game he loves and not worry about anything. He said there are no excuses and he feels deep regret for what he did. He said he is not sure if he can prove his innocence since 2003 but he will continue to play great baseball. Arod said he has no interest in seeing the rest of the names on the list, he is just proud about coming forward with his situation and that is all he cares about. He said he is glad this is behind him and he has addressed it and he will continue to do so and eventually to just get playing baseball. Peter Gammons is saying now he was really emotional and that saddens him. He said he didn't know what Arod was going to do but he got right to it and admitted it right away and that was good.
