Paraphrasing (er, stealing from) Nick:
Before we completely discredit Lobel a "sleazy cameraman", shouldn't we let this story/non-story develop? It seems that Manny Alex and a the FO certain singer have, well, a complicated relationship, one in which it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that the FO people could perceive him tanking shagging an at old bat. What if a Gordon Edes or some other beat writer verifies that, indeed, there is some truth to Lobel's this sleazy cameraman's story? There are obvious reasons for Lobel a sleazy cameraman to make up a story (searching for relevancy, getting attention, etc.) but he is a journalist and he just might have connections in the FO sex-tape industry. No?

When I was 13, and she had a steel bra on, I would have thought this awesome. Now: nuh-uh.
Probably just a made up story, but if you consider the reciever in this two person football team, she may have talked him into it! ha.

I think the fascination is/would be the idea that people who are so well-off can seemingly be so reckless and stupid concerning their PR machines. Also, the A Rod "gossip/leaks" concerning his fragile little-boy psyche and his (soon to be ex)wife's easy manipulations of his life, are an interesting addition to this TOTALLY RELEVANT news story.
I kid.
He's going to hit 800 home-runs.

I now realize I should have titled this thread "Distinguishing Marks?"

Why does SF have such a fascination with tabloids? What next, a link to the Enquirer?

On the "actually worth a read" front:

Makes me wonder how often Wakefield mentors Zink. It would be quite a transition to simply plug in Zink once Wake finally retires.

I couldn't care less who the guy is sleeping with...I'm not a 15 year old girl. The tabloid culture we live in is sickening. As long as the guy keeps playing well, he could dig up Estelle Getty's corpse and go to town...(too soon?)
(not an indictment of you SF, I see the "humor" tag)
