In the wake of the Manny Ramirez news, my wife asked me an interesting question tonight. She asked if Derek Jeter had ever done anything to tick anybody off. I have to admit, being a Red Sox fan, I've always admired Jeter. He's clean cut, always calm and plays the game the way I think it should be played.

I'd have to add Albert Pujols to my list.

Who could get caught that would shock and upset you the most?

Would hate to hear about Maddux using anything.

I agree with TR, Jeter is a single guy, and I thought this was about being clean?

My husband and I were talking, ever notice that the ones who get caught don't seem to be team players, it's all about them? Seems to be a pattern, prehpas you could pick themout in a crowd, who did, who didn't or who still might be.

Like I said, I don't care if a guy is an ax murderer if I don't have to deal with it. We all have our dark side, even the clean cut, All-American players.

There isn't one. They're all susceptible to temptation. There's a lot of money on the line. Besides, some of the greatest players of all time ate greenies like candy. I started to read an article on Ramirez in The Globe. I stopped a few paragraphs into the article. Same issue, different player. Who's next? In the meantime I'll enjoy the game and not worry about it. It would be me singing soprano in a few years.

Hitting on a teenager and hitting on a college girl older then 18 are two different things. Besides most of the college girls are in their early 20's. For him to be hitting on a "teenager", would mean he's hitting on freshmen, and I highly doubt he's doing that I don't care what you say.

An like TRhit said, his wife is 13 years younger then him. Jeter is 34. 34-13=21

Are you saying TRhit is sick?

Come on RJM, that's just preposterous.

Jeez, RJM ...
SO WHAT if Jeter once made goo goo eyes at your daughter while jogging on a track? I fail to see the significance here, much less the indictment of his character, especially with such unreliable and scant information.

A college coed accused Jeter of hitting up on her while he was jogging near her? Now THAT's a reliable and legitimate reason to "burst our bubble" about the guy.

Give me a break!
I deleted my Jeter posts. A apologize for upsetting people. I was surprised how much people defended him. He must be a god. My daughter said the guys at campus security didn't believe any of the several girls who complained he jogged up to them and attempted to initiate a conversation.

I am no Jeter apologist (Sox fan), but dog gone it; I hardly believe that several girls "complained" about Jeter trying to initiate a conversation? I am actually laughing right now. Were they running the track at the Monastery?

RJM, this not directed at your daughter, I am sure she is a nice young lady. I would be more willing to believe several college girls would be bragging about Jeter trying to initiate a conversation.

Holy cow, the thought of this really cracks me up.

Didn't see the post but the thing about Jeter is he knows how to deal with New York and how navigate thru being a big superstar in the big city.

Jeter don't snub the fans(if he does, I never read about it), is a New York winner and the ladies like him..Being Jeter ain't a bad gig. You'll be hardpressed to find peeps who got negative vibes on this guy. Especially the girls.
