A-Roid doesn't tip well at Hooters

So ESPN posted their spin on the Alex Rodriguez book and detailed an interview that Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts gave about her forthcoming novel.

The story/book says that Alex didn't stop using steroids when he was a Yankee and even went on further to say that he used steroids in high school. Alex admitted to using when he was a Texas Ranger and only when he was a Ranger.

From what I read, the ESPN story goes off an interview that Roberts had on Dan Patrick's radio show Thursday morning and a story from the New York Daily News

But the story also goes on to bullet point a couple of things from the book, the most shocking being that Alex frequented Hooters the restaurant, probably a lot, and that he didn't tip well.

Really can't believe that the book dug that deep and looked into his "inappropriate" tipping at Hooters. I'm sure if Alex was "hound" and went to Hooters a lot, then he probably tipped enough to send some of those girls to college and more. Any tip is a good tip nowadays.

I'll admit most guys go to Hooters for the scenery. Granted, if you want to go to Hooters and tip for the scenery and a order of chicken wings, be my guest. The waitress probably flirted with you or your wife enough (if you have the gusto to take your wife with you) to deserve a bigger tip.

But don't tell me they didn't mind the attention they got from a superstar. I'm sure that was worth it for the waitress. And If he only tipped 15 percent, I'm sure it was still a pretty big chunk of change.

When rich people go to eat out they don't look at the prices. Alex ordered probably what he wanted and paid for everyone that tagged along, which would amount to a pretty big tip. My 15 percent of my little $20 order is a little different from his 15 percent on his $100 order. And he has the budget to go more often.

So thanks ESPN for the awesome look at Alex Rodriguez's life.
