I just wrote a post over at SportsTechnow about this guy that met Shaq because he was following him on Twitter.  Check it out.

Here  is a picture that was sent to us of Dwight Howard eating at McDonalds in Phoenix before the Slam Dunk Contest.  I don’t know about you but I can’t eat McDonalds before performing in an athletic event:

A while ago I wrote a post about a petition to end the monopoly of NFL’s Sunday Ticket program with Direct TV.  I just want to revisit that real quick and point you to our online petition that has about 40 people on it.  Its not much but its a start.  Go here to sign the petition to end the NFL Sunday Ticket Monopoly.

Today on Espn Peter Gammons will interview Alex Rodriguez.  You can view a sneak peak at Deadspin.  By looking at the sneak peek it looks like ARod is taking the honest route which I think is a good idea.  He could have always stuck to his guns and said the test must have not been right and everyone would have known he was lying.

It’s interesting he chose Peter Gammons and ESPN when it was SI that broke the story.  Personally, I think he chose ESPN because he can get the interview on his terms and we all know that ESPN is here to report the news they choose to and not report everything.  I mean how can they come out and ask ARod the really hard questions if they have a multi million dollar deal to televise their games.

Anyone think someone at ESPN had the ARod story and chose not to break it because they knew another news outlet would do it?

Obviously right now Barry Bonds is the most hated player in baseball history.  Now that Arod has tested positive for steroids, this could change.  Here are a few things that could make ARod hated more:

1. He plays for the NY Yankees!
2. If anyone thought there was a top player that was clean, we thought it was ARod.  He has done a great job tricking us.  Everyone new Barry was guilty.
3. He is not clutch and his all time numbers will probably be some of the best ever.  Personally, that makes me hate him more then Barry.
4. He was the first 100 million dollar man.  He will probably make double what Barry made during his career.
5. He is a baby
6. Joe Torre, someone you can’t help but like, called ARod “A-Fraud” in his new book.
7. The famous swatting glove incident against the Red Sox.
8. The possibility that he cheated on his hot wife with Madonna.  Has anyone seen Madonna lately?  She looks terrible.
