I just saw this ad on espn here in New York. Thought it was interesting that they have A-Roid promoting that he played for the Calgary Cannons. Thoughts?

Does 2 weeks or whatever it was really count

?

I saw him play a few times then - from what I remember, you could tell he was going to be good. Head and shoulders already at that age.

But with the whole drug thing....

I don't think he was using drugs as a Cannon!

I don't believe him. The A-Rod that played here looked like he was 120 lbs, soaking wet. Great tallent, wasn't afraid to get dirty for a play. This other A-Rod is a monster, who is 3 times the size of the kid that played in Calgary. There's no way it's the same person.

/I know it is... I'm just saying.

He's playing for the Dominican? WTF?

I know, how can he play for the Dominican when he played for the US last time. Aren't there any FIFA rules here?

Doesn't matter anyways, Japan will win again

Papi34 · 02-24-2009, 01:10 PM

No the USA is taking this one i have very little doubt...

Its so hard to hate A-rod being his background starting in Calgary but my inner red sox fan finds a way

It's too bad the Cannons affiliation ended with Seattle after the '94 season or we would have had another season with A-Rod in '95.
