And to be that guy and not come off as really douchey at all is impressive. A man whore with class. I like it.

It's a shame he had to die.
What? He's not dead? Then what's all the fuss??? I agree with Olbermann completely: |

He was not well liked in the clubhouse, and some Bucs fans I know have some terrible stories of things he's done to kids wanting autographs. But some of the all-time greats have those same issues. Never heard of any of that with Jeter, though. Always classy. Hope he stays around baseball.

I can't find it now....but there was a tweet yesterday recalling a story of a girl who had dated Jeter coming home to him laying naked on the couch watching highlights of himself and hitting his chest with his fist screaming "WAY TO GO, JEETS! WAY TO GO!".

I'm not really a fan of Jeter, nor do I dislike him, but that just sounds like bullshit to me.

Middle ground on him, mostly because the team and city he plays in/for, and says he likes. So nothing overly personal, and I think he's rather swell, but I'm ready for this year-long exit-stage-left to be done.
And the shit about not playing in Boston "so that his last game was in Yankee stadium" is shit. Like he's getting out of baseball! Sure! It made him some sort of drama-queen... |

But let's be clear about something. Bonds was an asshole. But he wasn't a media darling which made him look like a media darling. Jeter is a player yet his private life was never scrutinized the way arods was. Bonds is an asshole but David Ortiz is also a colossal asshole but gets a pass because the media treats him like their darling. The personality of a player is heavily influenced by the way the media wants to spin it. If the media had it out for Jeter, I'd bet there'd be enough dirt to do it. |

How do I feel about Derek Jeter? Itchy. And there is a definite burning sensation.

I like to read my old posts on Chiefsplanet and do that.

Is he gone yet? Is it safe to come out?

Also... batting averages dropped pretty dramatically not after the steroid ban... but after the amphetamine ban. |

Yeah, that Olbermann rant was spot on. Jeter is far and away the most overrated baseball player in history. He was good player. A very good player. But do we really need to have a ceremony celebrating him at every single stadium and nationally televise every single at-bat of his .255/.302/.312 season?
