Music It’s the Roc! A History of Celebrities Throwing Up The Diamond

Last Friday, the Yankee parade terrorized downtown NYC, and while it was fun (for Yankee fans) to see their favorite players move along The Canyon Of Heroes, rap fans were surprised to see Jay-Z and his right-hand-man Ty-Ty on A-Rod’s float. Yup, Jay, Alex and Ty-Ty were like the new “Roc Boys,” and A-Rod had no problem becoming the latest person to fall into the “I’m-standing-next-to-Jay-Z-so-I-want-to-look-cool-by-making-a-diamond-with-my-hands” category.

We shouldn’t be too hard on A-Rod, though, there’s been tons of awkward Rocafella Diamond sightings anytime there’s a chance for a celebrity to get a photo-op with Hov. Don’t believe us? Check out the random assortment of celebrities who felt the need to throw the Roc up like they were bulimic, then check the Jay-Z songs we associated them with. Diamonds up!

Sports Play Ball! Complex’s 2009 MLB Playoff Preview

Philadelphia Phillies, 2008 World Series Champs.
After 162 games (with a plus 1 last night), the MLB playoffs are finally here. Regular season records and accolades go out the window today when the Rockies, Phillies, Twins, Yankees, Cardinals, and Dodgers begin postseason play (the Red Sox and Angels kick off their series tomorrow night).

Other sport sites are gonna base their predictions on things like “injuries” and “statistics” and other so-called meaningful metrics. To which we at Complex say (like an ump to Bobby Cox): “F*#% outta here.” Instead, we’ve worked our predictions around the important things in baseball, the essentials like players’ wifeys and ‘roid usage. Read on for our in-depth forecast of this year’s playoff action (check back in a couple weeks for our League Championship Series and World Series breakdowns)…

Sports When Athletes Let Girlfriends Interfere With Their Game

Going Bust: Tony Romo can blame Jessica Simpson’s twos for his poor performances.

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has reportedly broken up with his girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. His fans have reason to be excited—not because Romo will have more free time to flirt with heavily perspiring male groupies, but because she distracted him from his pursuit of a Super Bowl ring.

Since bagging Simpson in 2007, the once promising #9 has crapped the bed when she was in attendance, caused controversy by taking a vacation with her before a playoff game that he lost, and missed the playoffs entirely, putting up three turnovers and zero touchdowns in a 44-6 blowout loss in the final, must-win game of the 2008 regular season. Not that we blame dude; if we were Romo, the only route we’d have on our mind is the one leading directly to her milk duds.

Now that Romo’s a free man, we expect he’ll have a career resurgence. Why? Well, for one, he couldn’t play much worse than he did in that last stinker. Besides, there’s a history of athletes whose performance suffered because of a woman, and they usually get back on track once they drop their dimes. Read on below to see what we mean…

Sports A-Rod & The Man-Boob Phenomenon: An In-Depth Study

Has anyone got past second base with A-Rod?

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for Alex Rodriguez comes the news that—according to a new book from Selena Roberts—A-Rod’s Yankee teammates nicknamed the juiced-up slugger “Bitch Tits.” Wowwww. Now we really can’t wait for his first at-bat at Fenway.

Still, Alex is hardly the first man to be afflicted with tetas grande. We milked the historical archives of man-titties to find A-Rod’s breast friends. Now let’s take a trip down (male) mammary lane, shall we?

Sports Did A-Rod Buy Steriods For His She-Man Squeezes?

Baseball's resident steroid snitch Jose Canseco is set to release his second book “Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and The Battle to Save Baseball” on Monday, and the headline-grabbing content seems to involve New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez. The leather-faced Canseco writes in the book that he introduced A-Rod to a trainer/steroids dealer after Rodriguez showed interest in getting on the juice back in the late 90s. Although Canseco has seemed to be spot on about the steroid scandal in the past, we’re thinking that if A-Rod did indeed ask for a connect and copped some 'roids they were for his Amazonian jumpoffs, who he likes to keep ripped and she-manly. Don't agree with us? Just check the biceps on the chick A-Rod got caught hitting the strip clubs with last year'the bitch was brolic. After the jump, A-Rod denies any steroid use on 60 minutes, while looking 14 years-old.
