A-Rod, sans pants, promotes Guitar Hero

By Benjamin Kabak

Really. I don’t know. We don’t need words for this one. Why Kobe is the only one wearing pants is a question best left unanswered.

AROD is way past having any shame.
Wiping his mouth with a hundered dollar bill just proves that.

Joseph P. says:

Of course, you have no idea the context of the $100 bill incident. You can keep on assuming whatever the press tells you.

 
 
 

“A-Rod, sans pants…”

Giselle, UWS, and Rebecca’s hearts skipped a beat.

Jamal’s too.

 
Double-J says:

Who would’ve thought A-Rod’s true calling was guitar gamer…

i saw this last night…the part where they were lying on he couch having seizures made me want to burn out my eyes

 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

I hope that they didn’t break the egg.

I just hope Phelps has got his speedo on under than shirt.

usty says:

maybe black mamba’s black mamba required shorts…haha.

 
 
Tom says:

You guys are too harsh. This commercial was hilarious, and Alex should be commended for being silly and not taking himself too seriously. Phleps was horribly awkward though, i’ll give you that.

Hank says:

i totally agree. good to see him getting loose.

 
 
Mike Pop says:

Besides the commercial, I bet its gonna be a pretty great game lol

 
Cam says:

That look on A-Rod’s face when he initially slides in is awesome. Had to have gone to Madonna for tips on that.

 
Baseballnation says:

That was hilarious. Arod is damned if he does damned if he doesn’t. People will always find something to nitpick as is always the case but this is a guy who is obviously having fun right now. And Kobe has completely reshaped his image again after that whole uhhh…..Colorado thing. Could’ve found someone better to replace Hawk who is a legend but I would have preferred a now superstar, say an NFL representative like Bret Farve…Bush, or a marquee face like that. And yes, Phelps looked stiff (No pun intended) and awkward.

Baseballnation says:

(11 seconds in) LMAOOOOOOO! Watch the shuffle Arod breaks into LMAO. It looks like a baseball salsa shuffle.

 
Mike A. says:

I’m sorry, I find it hilarious that you say they should find a “now superstar” and go on to mention … Brett Favre. That’s pretty funny.

No offense or anything.

Baseballnation says:

He’s still a superstar Mike, whether you like to agree or not. And I’m not a Farve loyalist but: A) About 20 teams in the league would take him right now if it wasn’t for age (still elite talent though,) and B) He’s one of the faces of sports, aka he’s much more marketable than Hawk.

 
radnom says:

Dude finished second in MVP voting last season, only behind Brady’s ridiculus 17-1 season.

 
 
 
Matt M. says:

i liked it. they poke fun at themselves and have a good time.

so long as Arod doesn’t play with Joel Zumaya….this is harmless

 
Doug says:

Pants only get in the way of true happiness, imo.

 
Marcus says:

One of the greatest commercials of all time.

Props to the great idea. Even though I think Guitar Hero may be the lamest game ever.

Is this game for people who don’t understand or want to take the time to learn instruments and their sheet music?

 
Phil says:

word on the street is that they piped in Madonna during the taping of Arods scenes

 
Marcus says:

You guys think too much about these commercials.

Why is everyone always thinking of sport players images? Who cares. Let the boys play sports. This world is incredibly stupid.

 
Thirty5Thirty6 says:

Ya. They should have got a “now superstar” like Pedroia. I could almost see the grit now.

Going back to his elementary school days, people have always told Dustin, he just wasn’t tall enough. Dustin now uses that to his advantage, when is playing Guitar Hero. Experts, such as Kevin Youkilis, Jonathan Papelbon, and more importantly my loins, agree, he is the best Guitar Hero player of his generation. Now, if you would excuse me, I need to purchase some His and Hers KY Jelly, animal print furry handcuffs, a cucumber, and black shoe polish.

For Diamond Cutters, I’m Peter Gammons, ESPN.

If only I was as good as tommiesmithjohncarlos. Damn you. Damn you for being a god amongst men.

Actually, that was pretty good.

“and more importantly my loins”… heh, nice.
