If you ever see an interview with him he never takes credit for anything he does. He's always the first person to give credit to his teammates. He doesn't promote himself or anything. Now if you were speaking of ARod's ego I'd agree.

I tell you my favorite football team is the Raiders. My dog's name is even Raider. My favorite college basketball team (being from Las Vegas) is UNLV. I like the teams others love to hate

Being the face of a couple of baseball computer games isn't promoting himself? Honestly, I hadn't seen any interviews until I went looking after reading your post.

He just has a very smug, arrogant look to him that, for some reason, most women I know find attractive. I don't at all.

Give me Mike Piazza - now there is a nice Italian boy. Good looking, talented, funny and by all accounts a pretty nice guy. AND he doesn't play for the Yankees

That's more marketing, no different than selling pepsi or whatever. But he is definitely not an egocentric, he's well respected in baseball because he is incredibly polite and is always the last to criticize anyone or take any personal credit. That would be more a Roger Clemens.

while not my favorites, aren't the teams I love to hate...

Those would be:

Portland Thugblazers
Oklahoma Sooners (Billy Tubbs is f'ing satanic)

the Trailblazers are my favorite NBA team! Although the thug label is only recent, which is too bad because they have some of the best fans in sports. They used to be known for good quality people on and off the court. I had season tickets their first year in the NBA, the one year I lived in Portland. And actually I like the teams I like not because they're hated, but because of where I was living at the time I got into the respective sports. Of all the teams UNLV is my favorite though, which is where my moniker comes from.
