Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez was kind enough to speak to about 500 children at Niketown yesterday, and of course the kids got some insider dirt on this year's possible MVP.
[YES network's Michael] Kay varied his questions for Rodriguez, covering everything from his baseball hero — Cal Ripken, Jr. — to personal likes and dislikes. Any kid that scuffed his or her sneakers at Niketown on Wednesday can now say with confidence that A-Rod's favorite food is Japanese (or pasta or steak), his favorite actor is Michael Douglas, his favorite TV show is "Entourage," and that his favorite ice cream is chocolate chip with chocolate sprinkles.
I couldn't be happier that A-Rod's favorite show is Entourage. For years I've had to explain to tasteless dipshits why a show about a bunch of jackasses hanging out with Hollywood idiots isn't funny or entertaining. If I told you that the quote you keep repeating is going to get you punched in the Adam's apple, is that something you'd be interested in? Oh, but Jeremy Piven is funny. There are hot chicks. It's an "insider" look at the movie business. Christ. I feel like climbing to the top of a mountain and screaming, "It's about douchebags! Douuuuuchebaaaaags!"
Now I can just be like, "That's cool. That's A-Rod's favorite show, too." Winner: me.

It's sex in the city for men.
Real men do not need that.
The first two seasons were funny and innovative. For the past two seasons it has easily been one of the worst written shows on television. It is so unfunny and ridiculous that I cant see it lasting more then one more season. This past week's episode was the third Ive seen this season, and it will be the last episode I will ever watch. It was actually titled "The Day Fuckers". Ummm, okay.
I need to e-mail this post to roughly all of my friends so they will shut the fuck up about "if we were Entourage, which characters would we be". They'd all be Turtle.
Flight of the Conchords is 1,000,000 times better (and it's actually *funny*).
Sorry buddy, are you mad cause they gave the Drama role to
that douchebagDillon?And the day Adrien Grenier is a leading man in Hollywood is the day A-Rod fucks something with a vagina.
hard to pick the doucheiest character on Entourage. I'll go with Turtle because he always wears those dumb ass looking Yankee hats.
I need to disagree completely. I refuse to argue my reasons.
You have to admit it is funny laughing at douchebags.
Here is what sucks, you start watching a show like Entourage or The Soprano's in the first few seasons when it is really good. And then it starts to suck, yet you feel obligated to watch it to see how it ends up. That was the case with the last few seasons of The Sopranos for me. I knew it was going to suck, but still watched with the hope it might be good like it was when it first started.
Who the puts chocolate sprinkles on a chocolate chip cookie? Douchebag.
You guys are nuts, it's a funny show. Transparent, but funny, and the doucheiest character has to be Dom the bald moron that stole the action figure. He was supposed to replace Turtle, who isnt even actually an actor, but people hated the character….Gone!
grungedave: Flight of the Conchords isn't just funny, it's genius. The fact that it's on right after Entourage frustrates me no end.
I can say without any shame that I USED to like this show, but the last season and a half have been horrible. It is probably the most overrated television show of the last decade. Storylines just drop off the face of the earth without any explanation. I've laughed about three times in the last ten shows (all because of Kevin Dillon, not Piven). Its going down the drain, fast.
You guys are nuts, it's a funny show.
I defy you to find one joke in the history of that show that will make me laugh.
People, before you defend Entourage, take a long a look at yourself. Look in a mirror. And then say out loud, "I am a douchebag."
I may be a douchebag, but I'm certainly not mad at or about a dumb tv show. Gimme a second.
Funny joke………….. VICTORY!
cmon its victory. its even remotely sports related.
@UpstateUnderdog
The Sopranos was always good. Even till the last disappointing, unfulfilling second. Putting it in the same boat as Entourage is a travesty. The people who complain about the Sopranos are the kind of people that expect violence or expect someone to get whacked every episode. It was a very well written and well acted drama about one man and his life. It was not a mafia tv show.
The reason A-Rod Loves Entourage is becasue he thinks Lloyd is sexy.
You're all about the one liners, shall I compile a list of the funniest one liners and you can judge them on funnyness to determine whether the show is actually funny or if you have some secret bias.
How can you gripe about a show that regularly shows hotties bangin, smot poking, bets about tagging chicks, boobies!!! and general debotchery?
"But Jeremy Piven is funny."
Jeremy Piven was also on Cupid, therefore nullifying previous argument. Besides, gay-bashing your Asian lap-dog assistant is overrated. Okay maybe it isn't, but I don't have one some I'm jealous.
Bowie's in SPace!
Dammit Matt, I try to stick to the "funny comments only" guidelines but it gets hard when you start up inflammatory posts that get people stating their opinions instead of trying to be funny.
I really wouldve expected his favorite show to be the HBO documentary about the tranny prostitutes in Hawaii, not that I've seen it or anything…look I didnt even realize they had dicks until the end of the show…no homo
How can you gripe about a show that regularly shows hotties bangin
It really doesnt show that very often. This week's last episode with Vince and that blond chick actually surprised me because they hardly ever show a sex scene.
People like the show because they can live bicariously through the characters.
*bicuriously
It's funny cause you all obviously watch it, yet continue to bitch.
@Peter, I was just putting Entourage and The Sopranos in the same boat because they, like most if not all shows have multiple seasons that people follow.
I treat a
bitchEntourage like 7-up, I never have, I never will.I've seen about three episodes in my entire life. I don't even have Showtime or whatever channel it's on.
And I wouldn't have to bitch if a bunch of dudes were defending a remake of Sex and the City.
Opinions are like bellybuttons: everybody has one.
How can you gripe about a show that regularly shows hotties bangin
Watching HBO for sex scenes is like going to Applebees for a steak… I don't know how I want to finish that but seriously, you're all a bunch of douchefuckers if you watch that show.
Entourage is hilarious. Mascots bangin… if that doesn't make you laugh you need to start smokin crack. What do you haters watch? Dancing with The Stars?
I'm not defending the show, I just happen to think it is funny enough to continue watching. If you don't like the jokes, what can ya do. Besides, what the hell else is on sunday nights now other than FOTC?
I'd have been really pissed if he said Thundercats.
@ Matt and 289
This is fucking hilarious. Black Thursday. A day that will live in infamy. This is the day that WithLeather (wheres KD to round it out) draws the line in the sand. What important, thought-provoking topic could cause this? Stokke? Pat Tillman? Universal healthcare? No, it was four douches who cant act on a show that is standing on its last, craptastic, crippled leg.
Thank you for that Ufford.
I have that channel…and I have a lot of "friends" who enjoy Entourage, who encouraged me to hop on board…and I've only seen 3-half episodes. I couldn't make it through one full episode.
Be careful not to alienate your entire fanbase Matt.
best show ever on HBO, "OZ".
The next thing some of these guys will say, they watch OUT OF BOUNDS because Bryant Gumble knows something about sports. He is the BIGGEST DOUCHE BAG on HBO!
Entourage DVDs are like hookers, at first they're fun and you want to watch or share them with your friends, but you know that sooner or later, they're headed for the trash compactor.
This entire conversation is useless unless Dexter is acknowledged as vastly superior.
Dick joke.
ENTOURAGE SUCKS DONKEY BALLS
Entourage is so good that, over here, ITV fucking bought it. ITV! It's an abbreviation for Lowest Common Denominator. They gave up on comedy twenty years ago. They don't even show it on the main channel. It's on Sunday nights, maybe , right after the show where some people do something much to the annoyance of other people. Now that's a great show.
I saw one episode of this show, I had to turn it off I was confused. I thought it was The Douchebags handbook/survival guide. I knew at once it was not for me.
I couldn't even stand to watch one episode, I got so bored I came on here and read old posts.
Serioulsy, I thought "Babar" was a better HBO show.
Never heard of Flight of the Conchords so i went to TV Links to see if they had it and they do. Good site, that. I'll watch a couple of episodes over the weekend.
I had never seen this show because AFN doesn't air HBO stuff. After years of being away from the States one friend of mine tells me I have to watch this show. I watched two episodes and he came down from his bedroom (his wife allowed me to crash there while I found a place) and I said: "I don't get it. What's funny?" It's a totally predictable show about a group of not cool guys. What am I missing here?
A million times thanks, Mr. Ufford, for being such a vocal Entourage hater. Fuck everything about that show. Forever.
Entourage is great! Especially that episode Where Danny and Uncle Jess get into some hijinx at the carwash!
Wait…what? That's Full House? Are you Sure? Ok, then I got nothin'.
hahaha, wow. Ok, so the girl from naperville, illinois who is a bartender wins the bret michaels show. Thats called inside info, see its only aired 3 times so far!
Best HBO show ever? Today's Special.
Hating Entourage is the coolest! It's like…gay and stuff…and I wouldn't laugh if I watched a hundred million hours of it because they've never said anything funny on there!
Everyone who watches it is a queer fag, right? Flight of the Conchords kicks ass because it's only been on for a few episodes. Wait till season 3 when people who watch it are fags! That's going to be awesome!
The Wire is the best thing HBO has ever done-bar none. Pure friggin genius that show is. Entourage is like eating popcorn, all fluff and no substance. It's like a live action talking Maxim magazine.
The Wire is the shit. This is true. That's because there's lots of Melanin on that show. Melanin is awesome.
@Logjammin'
its not gay to put a wig on a man and pretend they're a woman. how can that be gay, if you're pretending they're a woman? Not that I did it.
Imagine all four of the guys from Entourage rolling up into the club/bar where you regularly hang out and acting the way they do on the show. Would you want to join their table or kick their smug asses? 'Zactly.
Some might say that withleather is the entourage of sports websites
The jokes are pretty awful, and yet I keep returning to read
ooooooooooohhh, burn. Yea, her name is Mia, she wins rock of love. shes a bitch too, go figure.
