If A-Rod spied on his wife, that is.

But if he spied, he's scum. And he's hypocritical scum, which is the worst kind. A-Rod is the one linked in the past to various infidelities. A-Rod is the one linked now to Madonna. And he's been spying on his wife?

If you recall, I wrote about A-Rod and Madonna a few weeks back, and basically said, "I've been following this stuff, too, but really it's none of our business."

I take it back. Now that the divorce has gone public, it becomes public record, which makes it our business. So I'm going to pop some popcorn, get a soda and sit back and follow this very public story to its bitter end.

Everyone seems to think so, even Gary Sheffield and presumably Alex Rodriguez.

If you will recall, A-Rod maneuvered around Boras this offseason to get his deal done with the Yankees after Boras botched the process so badly that A-Rod was villified for opting out of his contract.

Now this. Now Sheffield, who has a big mouth and a wild side of his own, is coming out and calling Boras a bad person. He says he will have lots more to add after his grievance with Boras is settled.

Neither Boras nor Sheffield cuts a particularly sympathetic figure, but I'll take Sheffield every time. Sheffield's biggest problem is he's too honest, whereas Boras' biggest problem is he's ... not.

More bad pub for Boras. I love it. That's OK, right?
