Alex Rodriguez Was Brainwashed by Madonna and Her Religous Cult, Naturally

Will BrinsonPosted Jul 6th 2008 2:00PM by Will Brinson

The New York Post has been hard at work bringing the earth-shattering, quasi-gossip news lately. First that whole Roger Clemens - Mindy McCready bidness, then Alex Rodriguez' alleged affair with Madonna. And now, the cherry on the ice cream sundae that is journalistic scoops: Madonna and a religious sect have brainwashed A-Rod in order to get him divorced from his wife.


In a bombshell interview with The Post, Dodd Romero - Rodriguez's former trainer and godfather to his two daughters who spent last week in Paris with Cynthia Rodriguez - said he and C-Rod believe the Yankee superstar has been gradually drawn away by Madonna's allure.

"Alex, God bless him, is lost," A-Rod's ex-pal lamented. "I think he got pulled in by the dark side, if you can say that nicely. He's totally brainwashed."

"She believes it's what ruined her marriage," Romero added.
It makes total sense, of course. All the irrational behavior before, the ditching of Scott Boras to negotiate with the Yankees on his own -- it all fits into place now. But even if Madonna is the ultimate culprit behind the devastation of the Rodriguez' family's life, she has needed some help.

That's where Manhattan's Kabbalah Center, according to the Post, comes into play.
The temple on East 48th Street near Lexington Avenue is the same center that Madonna and her family visited yesterday.

"I've seen him walking out of it," said doorman Andrew Rodriguez (no relation to A-Rod), who works at a building next door to the center.

And even when A-Rod wasn't with Madonna, she was there in spirit, according to Romero.

"He'd be in the gym and if a Madonna video would come on, he'd go into a trance," Romero said.

And when A-Rod is driving in his car, he'll only listen to Madonna music, the trainer said.
First of all, I am sure this Manhattan center for worship greatly appreciates the Post's allegations. Secondly, the whole notion of "brainwashing" is pretty freaking ridiculous. A-Rod is a superstar athlete but he's shown his personal/emotional vulnerability over and over again, so it shouldn't be that shocking to see him fall prey to one of the greatest temptresses the 80's ever saw.

Finally, even A-rod isn't absurd enough to only listen to Madonna music; wouldn't a sign that said "I'm sleeping with my new superstar-gal-pal" have been enough? (Although in fairness, the idea of A-Rod driving down the highway listening to "Material Girl" at full blast, singing along with the windows down is pretty funny and somehow realistic.)
