Sports media needs to drop this story ASAP. Is this really newsworthy? Rodriguez volunteered that he and Jeter are no longer the close friends that they once were, but remain friends that don't hang out much anymore. Stop the presses! We have a friendship that is not as close as it once was.

I need more than two hands to count how many friends of mine have become less a part of my life over the years for various reasons; none of which involve conflict. People come and go in all of our lives. Best friends can change like the seasons. And now the media is scutinizing the friendship of two high profile baseball players? It's been scrutinized in the past, and said to be far worse than it is. Then A-Rod comes out and says they aren't best friends, but still get along great. And that's news? Call me when they actually DON'T get along and I'll love to read about it.

Didn't we have the NBA All-Star weekend? The Daytona 500? Coaching moves in the NFL? Not even a slow news day and writers have to create something out of nothing. Kudos.
