I’m predicting about 30 home runs during the remainder of 2013 and 50 next year.

Well, at least he's still got Cousin Larry.

Is Yuri claiming that A-rod laced his bibbi-babkas with roids?

It would be exactly in keeping with A-Rod's general savvy to cut off the person who could most easily bring him down. This is when you need a personal manager who explains to you that your reputation is forever dependent on Cousin Yuri during his lifetime so you only have two options: 1) keep him happy or 2) arrange an accident.

Does A-Rod have a Russian cousin, or is Yuri from the Vladimir Guerrero School of Naming?

@4 , the later should be easily enough in the DR... or is his cousin living in Florida?

How many famous and talented people end up with leeches hanging off of them who don't have to go out and get real jobs because of it? When one of the leeches causes problems, it's pretty low, but not surprising.

A childhood friend of a good friend of mine is a relatively big UFC fighter. From what I hear about it, due to the constant training and travel the life is awfully lonely as you don't really have any actual friends, just a cadre of people who cling on for the perks.

Even Mark Sanford--not exactly A-Rod--had his staffers keep track of which people around him had known him before he was elected to Congress so he could separate the people who were only leeching off him from the people who were both his friends and leeching off of him. The idea that he had to have it written down speaks to the incredible press of people on even a lower-level person like him.

There are perks? UFC fighters earn peanuts. If your name isn't John Jones, George St. Pierre or Anderson Silva you're basically busting your hump for a middle class paycheck, and they are plenty of guys making 8 and 8 ($8000 to show and another $8000 to win). The UFC is a fine example of how a complete lack of market balance and a closed economic system depresses pay, boxers were making bigger money than UFC champions almost 100 years ago.

One of my favorite hangers-on was Kato Kaelin. Here he was, simply living on OJ's estate in a cottage in the back.

Physically big (a-la Mark Hunt?), or in terms of star power?
