It was only a matter of time: the Playboy photos of supposed A-Rod paramour/definite stripper have surfaced. (Link via Fleshbot via Deadspin via the New York Post.) One of the amusing aftershocks of this whole, um, affair has been the media’s tut-tutting at all the coverage; anyone who watched Sunday night’s national ESPN broadcast was treated to what seemed like hours of Joe Morgan telling Jon Miller that athletes just want — and deserve to — be left alone. The most unintentionally hilarious part of the discourse was when Morgan (whose knowledge of modern day celebrity culture is apparently on par with his understanding of baseball) explained that athletes just want to be left to do their jobs out of the glare of public scrutiny. Now it all makes so much sense.
