A-Rod: Baseball's Tragic Flaw - The Good Guy Who Couldn't Get Out of His Own Way!
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Mon Nov 24 2025
Description: BT and Sal dive deep into the new "Alex vs. A-Rod" documentary, reaching a consensus that Alex Rodriguez is fundamentally "a good guy" who was his own worst enemy—he just "couldn't figure it out" and "got in his own way." Tierney admits he's "always had a soft spot" for Alex and is bothered by how the star complicated his own world. They discuss the concept of an athlete having a good personal core, yet repeatedly making self-sabotaging choices that damage their career and public image. The discussion frames A-Rod as a "Shakespearean figure" whose talent was only matched by his flawed character and need to be forthright about his struggles in the documentary.
