Not Ready for Prime Time


Citing an unnamed source, the Chicago Sun-Times reported yesterday that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez went "ballistic" after cameras caught the slugger being hand-fed popcorn by actress Cameron Diaz between plays during Super Bowl XLV. The source claims A-Rod was reportedly given a guarantee that he would not be televised to the 111 million Super Bowl viewers again, but the practice has been around broadcasting for years. Does Jack Nicholson object to being shown attending Lakers games? Does Spike Lee fret sitting courtside at Knicks' contests? How many times did Fox Sports show us President Bush and wife, Laura, John Madden, Sylvester Stallone or Condolezza Rice in Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones' box? Before popping off over popcorn protocol, perhaps Rodriguez should ponder the plausable possibility of the producer's preference for blondes.
