A-Rod's Oscar Snub

In honor of tonight's 81st annual Academy Awards.....a closer look at the Alex Rodriguez press conference. Every film has it's memorable lines and there's no exception with the A-Rod performance. Let's take a closer look...

"I was young and curious."

• Sounds like the title to a Club magazine photo shoot featuring two experimental college coeds (or so I've heard).
  

"I was curious and ignorant"

• Usually curiosity is followed by careful research which ultimately leads to the elimination of ignorance......however, ignorance would probably preclude A-Rod from making this connection.

"Good Question Bob....." (see 3:55 of the video)

• A-Rod's way TOO excited to answer this question...we can tell that it's one he was prepped for. Over Acting--very Pacino-esque a la Heat.
  

".... I didn't want to speak from a position of non-factual ...."

• Who wrote this screenplay?
  

"The one thing I can lay my pillow at night is, I entered this game when I was 18: I had my best year when I was 20: and I had my other best year when I was...in 2007...so that, foul pole to foul pole, is pretty good."

• More bad dialogue...We do like how A-Rod is hanging his hat on the 2007 campaign especially now that news is breaking that he paid for an unsavory character, who was banned from MLB clubhouses in 2001, to travel with him during....you guessed it...the 2007 season. An award winning drama in the making....
  

"I made my bed, I'm going to have to sit on it"

• At least get your proverbs right.
  

"I'm here to take my medicine"

• Much better.
  

"...and start hookin' up with Don, and start making the world a better place."

• You're a 32 year old cheat who's bangin' Madonna. I'd set my personal bar much lower than changing the world...that's just me, though.
  

"The only thing I ask from this group today, and the American People, is to judge me from this day forward...that's all I can ask for."

• Fair enough but know that people are digging and if they find something (like this banned Dominican Trainer fella) you're, as they say in the Ol' Country: FOOKED!
