Great moments in sports broadcasting
"It's a very tough thing to be a very rich, very handsome athlete today." -- ESPN's Peter Gammons on Alex Rodriguez

I'd love to get Peter's definition of tough. I do sympathize with Rodriguez, in that I think his personal life should be left alone by the media.
But "very tough" seems a tad extreme. It can't be as tough as a very poor, very normal looking person working two jobs to make ends meet.
Perspective, people.

Are we sure Gammons wasn't being sarcastic? He does cover the Red Sox after all. I'm sure you can fit all the sympathy for A-Rod that exists in New England onto the period at the end of this sentence.

Oh, and THE CAVS ARE IN THE FINALS. I just feel compelled to mention that as often as possible.
