  • He shows contempt all through out this video. When he says "because I make a lot of money" there is contempt. At the end when he says "i love the play baseball" he shows suprise that he just said that and he also shakes his no and he shrugs his shoulder meaning he doesn't believe a word he just said.

  • A-Rod's like Clinton - never answers the question + only thing is Clinton cheats in an Oval, and he cheats off a diamond.

  • People that go out and risk their lives for our safety are the ones who should be making the real money not fuckin athletes. Don't get me wrong I love watching a game of baseball though.

  • People who say any player is overpaid is a complete financial moron. If he didn't bring in 300m+ they wouldn't pay him that much. Why are people so jealous? I love how dumb people want the billionaire owners to pay the players less like you would see it trickle down to lower cost tickets, mech etc. Stop being a dumb sheep.

  • What is funny and ironic is that ex-baseball player Yogi Berra of the yankees was onced asked if todays baseball players make too much money he said "Well i don't know about them but i loved baseball so much i would have played for free

  • She's a hypocrite. When she was at NBC, she was getting 15 million a year to sit there on the Today Show and run her mouth about al lot of nothing. She's the most overpaid person in the history of human beings.

  • AROID AROID AROID AROID

  • The answer is a simple "no."

  • I've always say that all athletes are paid to much. In reference to Mr. Rodriguez, I mean really ,$300 million for a person to hit a ball and run bases. Then you have policemen, firemen risking their lives for us, and they perhaps just make just under $60,000 thousand a year. Thousands of families going hungry. Hey, I could think of a few better uses for all that money. $300 million...........WOW!!!!!

  • @Nicjedi

    I love MLB too, but you are exactly right.

  • a rod you are the man dude. idc what others say your on my yankees and i will always got your back

  • i wish i had 300 million of d

  • honestly, no athlete is worth that much, athletes are pretty much worthless for society...

    however, A-rod is a smart dude, and that answer was perfect, he owned that lady with that answer

  • How can you blame someone for taking a deal every other person in the world would take?

  • oprah makes 300 million a year lol. These anchors make me laugh.

  • it looks like he wants to beat the living shit out of hur

  • B.S.

  • the way i look at it is like this.....athletes and entertainers..are just whores..its big business..the yankees make MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollers..and AROD puts asses in the seats...///once these players are signed..they pretty much sign away their privacy ,,,they have to go through alotta shit...so yea $300 million is alot ...but just imagine how much the YANKEES are making..makes 300 mill look like pennies

  • This ball player is much smarter and much more talented than Couric ever was. Well, that's a pretty low bar.

  • she just gets off on asking "tough" questions... annoying bitch

  • That's a lotta money- he should be like bill gates and give it to charity

  • he shoulda shut that gummy-smiled bitch up by saying.

    "I'M WORTH AS MUCH AS THEY'RE WILLING TO PAY ME."

    end of discussion

  • Katie: Why do you get some much grief for your salary for what your payed

    A-Rod: Cause I make a lot of money

    Katie: Your new contract is worth 300+ millions dollars. Are you worth it? Is any player worth that kind of salary?

    Me: Katie you obviously don't know shit about baseball. He's the youngest player to reach 600 homeruns. 300+ million dollars for ten years? i would say that's an average salary if not minimum. NOW GET YOUR ASS OFF AND STOP INTERVIEWING PEOPLE AND ASKING THEM RETARDED STUFF!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Tannerwillis92 if i was an older gentleman, i totally would

  • Katie u r so crappy!!!!!!!

  • She sucks

  • Would any of us protest if we were given that kind of money because of misgivings we might have about it being outrageous & unfair?Fuck no.Stupid question.He's obnoxious but at least he does something to earn that money-he sells seats.What about all these fuckers who play the lottery every week?Should we feel happy for a lottery winner who does less than ARod?Or should we make them feel like shit for taking something we would all be happy to receive ourselves although we did nothing to earn it?

  • He's overpaid, and now worthless.

  • @spareaxe n can buy everything he wants, ride the subways no matter wat the price is, etc just for hitting hrs and fielding baseballs

  • Katie is so pretty.. I want Kiss her..

  • @MrBoy219 R U SERIOUS? She looks like a midget troll from Willa Wonka Chocolate Factory

  • @pangelcolon She has class. She is hot..

  • arod should have slapped that bitch ,what a dumb question

  • @swaggerzilla14 your right, it was a dumb queston, the answer is obviously no, especially after he and the rest of the yankees got bitch slapped by the rangers, god what a sight that was :)

  • My answer: Neither are worth that much.

    Like Katie can talk considering her ratings are far BELOW Dan Rather's. I'm not quite sure how she manages to keep her job.

  • @Market42Fan CBS News should have hired from within the department. Harry Smith would have been a logical choice, as he's better than this no-talent ditz!

  • As much as I love the NY Yankees, The only people on this planet who should make millions of dollars are the surgeons who save lives...Not people who play sports. This is why the worlds all fucked up. Just puttin my 2 cents in & its not even worth 1 cent...Its my opinion

  • @MIKEBENJ they do

  • I'm a huge Yankee fan and I think this guy is waaay overrated and overpaid. The highest paid player on the team should be Jeter, for his loyalty and clean style. Rodriguez will never get the same respect Jeter gets.

  • The answer to that question is YES A-Rod, YES. $300 MILLION DOLLARS is enough money to feed a nation and this dude makes that for playing baseball. Yes, it is too much!

  • Perfect answer, A-rod. Why some regular people have to hate but now reporters are hating too? This is pretty sad. It's not your money being given to him so I say mind your own business.

  • No one should be making that kind of money. If the guy never struck out in his life and hit a homerun everytime he came up to the plate, then yes,he is worth that money, but he was a great player that juiced which made him an elite player, but these guys would be overpaid making 300,00 per year. Greedy fuckin pricks and their agents. Fuck em all !!

  • goo amswer

  • lmao, hell no he isn't worth it

  • i wish i can use steriods for 3 years then get paid 300m :/ stupid a-roid i hope u enjoy that money with more drugs

  • If baseball players did not get paid as much, all that money is going to go to the owners. So yes I want baseball players to get paid a lot as long as the ticket price doesn't go up to compensate the high salaries.

  • @robjr18 rite on thats a good point steinbrenners old as fuck he can pay his players well hes too old to spend money impressing chicks so hes like lets win baby keep my players happy

  • of course not lol

    think about how many people you can feed in the us for 300million

    holy shit

  • couric would pay 300 mil to fuck a rod

  • @d3sst lol nice

  • To hell with Couric.

  • He looked about as happy as someone being audited by the IRS. Can't blame him though, I would love to stand up and break the chair on Katie Communist's head.

  • @huevon14200006 hahahahah LMAO

  • Can someone upload more of this interview? I can't find much, even on the cbs website.

  • he looked like he wanted to rip katie courics head off. come to think of it i dont blame him

  • way to play it safe a-rod... NOT! And way to look so calm... NOT!

  • lipstick and steroids

  • Of course they are. Their character creates a lot of jobs and an economy of its own. from the people who print baseball cards to the people who sell them. The money doesnt come from nothing, it comes from the players and their teams performance and character! People create their own wealth. a huge logical falacy is that theres a finite pie. there is not, its an ever expanding pie and the money you receive is money you create

  • what a stupid question...is he worth all the money he makes

    go ask brad pitt if he's over paid for making 1 good movie every 10 years lol

    you get what u get in life...why should he apologise for the money somebody is paying him

  • THAT TRUTH JUST ENJOYE

  • he is one of the best hitters of all time. easily top 5 best. who cares what he did. jim parque took PED's.

  • A-Rod looks like he's going to pass out

    He's so nervous!

  • YOU DO STEROIDS

  • cough cough yeah right!! you do it for the money!!

  • couric has some balls in her interviews... kudos to her

  • Couric should ask herself that question. She makes close to what A Rod makes in one year. FUCKING HYPOCRITE SKANK

  • she probably makes one million a year, compared to a roids godly status

  • A-Rod is getting paid that much because (first the Rangers, now the Yankees) want the all -time homerun mark* broken by someone on their team.

  • lol.. Katie Couric, WOW is she ugly.. i can't get over it..

    she looks like she balloned about 30 pounds since i last saw her..

    what is the date of this tape..

    what a shame.. gawd nasy

  • Uhhhh.... the simple answer would be NO! A-Fraud only has that contract because he cheated in Texas (MVP) and these athletes get paid millions of millions of dollars for achievements they done in the PAST. Look at Tim Lincecum's contract... it's pretty sad actually.

  • um you are jealous. a rod is da man. he made a mistake in texas. i forgive him.. everyone should thumbs up to agree...

    disagree your not a true fan

  • hmmm...i doubt if CBS thinks Katie Couric is worth her contract either as about 12 people actually watch her show

  • @funcpl2741054 are you sure it's even that much?

  • @funcpl2741054 hahah YES you are amazing for saying that hahah your the man.

  • well ...thats the reason y ticket prices r so high in all stadiums cuz of big name players wantin big money.......im a phillies fan and ticket prices r high but the nationals r the only cheap team cuz they just down right suck lol

  • fans make these guys rich. stop complaining. its just a business.

  • these reporters are just mad theyre never see that money

  • @thexgamex05 actually i think she makes 15 million a year. LOL.

  • Heres the answer......

    ....NO!

  • the guy has never played in a world series game....steriods or not he is def not worth that much money even as a clean player

  • 300 Million.

  • Hope you enjoy it, you fucking pig.

  • you a hater

  • Apparently it is Kouric's job to evaluate or praise players. Do you think yer worth the money, Katie? Ever need a "boost" before a show to become some gullible viewers ideal for one more day?

  • Yankees whip there buttholes with fkn 100 dollar bills. It's funny how Tampa fucken rays make it to the chamionship but there little high ass paid bitches can't.

  • what a cocky piece of shit GO! ORIOLES!

  • gay rod sux

  • ...

  • lol

  • The highest player in history in baseball is a LATINO!!!! American with latino background baby!!! go A-ROD no one is perfect! White people...need to stop bitchin and STFU!

  • i'll say that a-rod deserves that much money look at him he's fine as hell!!!!!!! goYankeEs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! derek jeter is hot toooooo

  • its been 5 or 6 funkin years since a-rod took steroids why would they bring it up know thats just bull shit oh and by the way the boston red sox can kiss my ass

  • haha your a pissed off spankee fan. afraid that a rods gonna choke this year without the juice. fuck the loser yankees. everyone in NY thinks their so great. all just a bunch of cheatn thugs. yankees can kiss my ass.

  • dang why so pissed of let me guess some1 4rom N.Y kicked your ass before if so then dats ur problem you need to get a fn life.................dont hate!!!!

  • Since nobody knows when Alex Rodriguez started taking steroids he should be punished 1 or 2 ways

    1. He gives back half the money his contract is worth when he signed with the Texas Rangers, bcuz the money was given 2 him bcuz people thought he was a legit player.

    OR

    2. His home runs n the RBIs that came with them should b erased off his stats from his Mariner years up to his 1st year with the Yanks, so only the HRs n RBIs he hit with the Yanks count since these r his clean years.

  • Like if that liberal anti-american cunt has the right to ask someone if they think their worth the money, because she sure as hell doesn't deserve her salary, and i don't even know what it is.

  • mabye he will give u some of that money if u suck his dick.....im sure your good at doin that

  • i hate A-Rod

  • i wouldnt let that juiced up faggot pay me to play. hes such a loser just like the rest of the yankees. i cant wait to hear the chant of "A- Roid! A-Roid!" during the games this season. i hope he dont tear up when that happens. cant wait till he gets to boston. their gonna give him hell. hahaha

  • He could have turned the table and asked Katie how much is your salary and who negotiates it. After all, she asks rude questions so the interviewee should do likewise.

  • Even in this economy, I'm still hearing how European clubs are willing to pony up massive amounts of money for NBA players. Perhaps it's talk, but the owners definitely have the money to go after these 2010 free agents.

  • LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

  • Aliex Roidrigay

  • I would have said "hell ya, I am".  LOL

  • A-roids is pretty much saying;.... "to all the little leaguers out there who look up to me, don't bother working hard and busting your ass to be a good B-ball player. just take Bonds happy juice, i mean steroids".

    lets go A-ROIDS! (clap,clap clap clap clap)....say bye bye to your career! HAHAHAHA!

  • dam arod.....i still like u as a player, but u didnt need to TAKE FUCKING STERIODS! u lost a shitload of cool points wit me

  • He is nothing but a cheat. A Rod, Ben Johnson, Marion Jones...etc etc

  • The Yankees are going to be like the Knicks were, except there are about 12 marburys on the Yankees. A-Rod will be a free agent in 2018, relax... 300 million dollars and you fools feel bad for the biggest baby in sports history???? Cmon... Test him for Estrogen stuff too, because he is a B*TCH!!!

  • Jose Canseco should be in the Hall of Fame. A-Rod should quit baseball and hide. Brian Cashman should be fired. Yankee fans should not visit the new stadium. I hope Canseco writes another book, one that will implicate GEORGE W BUSH and his old Rangers. Imagine, Jose Canseco being the one that puts "W" behind bars....

  • steroids=cheating

  • They should of polygraphed his ass prior to his interview with Katie Couric.

  • A-rod is busted. Sucker

  • Forget you guys, he's a man's man!

  • He's gay and a liar. GG cheater.

  • lmao hes sooo gay

  • Look at how mad she gets when she says that number, shes so jealous ! ha ha ha ! how classless to ask someone if they are worth it, like she wouldnt take 300 million, barf !

  • Ceating piece of shit is going to get $300 Mil

  • Only in America.

  • I think that in 2010, you'll see some European basketball teams offer 300-500 million dollar contracts for players like LeBron and Wade.

  • The worst thing about this whole charade is that A-Rod is stuck as a Yankee for 9 years, we can't trade him and if we could, who would take him? This isn't like Marbury where the Knicks could pay him 21 mil for a year not to play, the Yankees aren't going to pay A-Rod 225 mil to sit for 9 years. Thanks for nothing, A-Roid!

  • Is the club dumb enough not to have a clause in the contract that if anything like this happens, he can be kicked out immediately and not just let go without pay, but sued for damages? I blame the Yankees if they sign a contract without making sure that if the employee is suddenly an embarrassment because of his own actions, he flies out in a minute. His market value just hit the ground.

  • damn, A-Rod. Damn. You think Boston hates us enough, imagine when he drives through town when it's that time.

  • A-HOLE

  • A-FRAUD

  • A ROID!

  • what a douchebag. he's not worth that much money. especially when he peters out in the post season over and over.

  • This piece of garbage should be humble and feel like the luckiest man on earth. He should donate much of his salary to making this world better and curing some of the world's problems. This is base salary, not counting endorsements. Mother Fu----

  • its not ur damn money mjl shut the hell up

  • werd tell him ....other baseball players are jelous but tell me who bats 300 wit 35 or more homeruns and 100 or more rbis every season i mean come on lol hes da fuckin man DOMINICAN POWER

  • Donate money haha r u stupid? He needs to maintain his private jet and fix up his mansion. Fuck the worlds problem this is big money Arod.

  • Look at that death stare at :33...WOW...she is ANGRY! She wants 30m for a half year job.

  • She has a history of asking stupid question, Like "what do you read sarah palin?" I read so many periodicals that if you asked me it would take me like a minute to think up an answer.

  • Katie Couric is a bitch. Hey katie, can i ask you a question? Are you worth $300 million dollars? Uh, yea, i dont think so. You arent even worth anything....im sorry, but i cannot take these interviewers questions to these star players, i mean i know it makes sense to ask that, but cmon....A-Rod?.....thats like asking Mickey Mantle if he thought it was O.K for Maris to break Ruths HR record....fuck you couric..ughhh

  • MONEY is nothing!!! I bet this beast will regret someday to his abandoned children and wife. Madonna is a symbol of Lucifer nothing else. I personally think that celebrities are the lowest, cheapest, and immoral job in the world because they worship money. I bet Madonna will fuck with her real father for money and popularity.

  • He seems extremely emotional for some reason.

  • arod was completely right about this. if you get asked if you want 300 mill bucks for playing baseball....would you take it?

  • Typical insulting comment for Katie.

  • nice save a rod

  • nice save a rod

  • Some of these arguments are so ridiculous. Yes most athletes skills are supposed to diminish as they get older. But every now and then you've got your Brett Farve and your Nolan Ryan... freaks who still perform at the highest level as they age. Arod just turned 33 this year. He broke into the bigs at 20. His numbers have always been outstanding since day one. His physique has changed a bit but that's occured slowly over a 14 year career. Dude is a VERY special athlete and works his tail off...

  • You just inadvertently tried to justify a $300 million dollar sports contract. Are you a conservative?

  • ALPs youre a simpleton is that inadvertent aswell

  • I'm gonna need proof of your assumption.

  • Oh, and you shouldn't be so stupid as to call someone else a simpleton when the first sentence under your profile after your name states, "Zangiev is the strongest street fighter." I'm sure you abound with intellectual and spiritual depth and capacity. Get bent.

  • does katie think she is worth 22 million. must be nice to be a puppet

  • It's funny how people blame a-rod for making so much money, like any of you idiots would turn down 300 mil

  • Jesus. I really feel bad for A-Rod. He is no doubt the most talented player ever, and look at what he gets for it. In terms of how baseball fans treat him, not salary.

  • I hate to break this to you, but he's on steroids.

  • Yeah, I'm sure you know that. For a fact. Because someone posting on youtube has to be within the yanks. LMFAO. I don' think he is now, but he probably did in high school.

  • Look, you just have to look at his build now vs. when he started playing. It's pretty simple. If you have a slender, athletic build, and are very flexible and fast, you cannot possibly become an Arnold build without human growth hormone.

    First he had an athletic, gymnist like, muscular build. Now he has a body builder look. USE YOUR BRAIN.

    Who else was like this? Sammy Sosa, etc etc etc.

  • He was 20 vs. now being 33. According to you, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams etc. all took steroids. Look at their pictures from when they started vs. later in their careers. You use your brain, you just made a statement with no proof, and are going by pictures to back it up. Every single athlete develops more as they get older. He also hasn't gotten much stronger then...he always hit around 30-40 hr's.

  • You're so naive if you don't think most of them were on the juice.

    Every single athlete should get weaker through their 30s and especially in their 40s. Mid-Late 20s are your strongest period.

    Also, its a matter of BUILD. he had a gymnist build, and now he has a gorilla build. I said Bonds, Sosa, and Giambi were on juice before the media ever got a clue. Use YOUR BRAIN AND EYES.

    Bonds was a great player who became the best through steroids. AROD is no different.

  • You should get stronger in your 30s and decline at around 37 and after. A-Rod is 33. LMFAO...people knew those jerkoffs were on the juice early. Look at ARods stats. Bonds had his HR's go up and up and up, ARod has constantly hit 30-40 HR for his entire career. If you paid attention you would know that he actually lost weight, before last season. So that he could be quicker.

  • Look at Arod's build now vs when he was in Seattle. Look at Bonds's build from when he started vs. now.

    I know you're a huge Yankees fan, and you hate to have your heroes ripped down, but...

  • A-Rod is not close to a hero. I don't even like A-Rod that much. Look at Jeter's build when he started vs. now. You're saying Jeter took roids?

  • nice name one person and then put ect like you can name others

  • he loves to play baseball and steal money from the Empire. A big liar he is

  • if they want a-rod to come play with the yankees worth this much money then its right for him

  • if he can get that kind of paper then he deserves it.if finds people willing to pay him that then leave the dude alone just because we all wish we could get that

  • I'm sorry Alex, the correct answer was, "No."

  • lmao @ 6piece Hells Yeah Bitch Im definaltely worth 300 million now fuck this interview and let me eat that sweet pussy.

  • oh my god

    you are a complete DOUCHE

  • think about it..if any team is willing to pay 300 million for one player then the dude obviously has something to offer..he makes more than the starting lineup for the nationals all by himself..everyone fucks up from time to time..but he will be the king of baseball..not this year.. but in the years to come..he will rule baseball

  • Notice how he takes a deep breath and mentally gets mad when she asks the 'magic' question

  • arods frontin he know he wanna say yes bitch im worth 300 million

  • Katie Couric isn't worth it...

    ha-ha

    Lookin like some granny zombie up on the youtube, what a hooka.

  • if they paying that amount then whats the problem...stop hating.

  • Katie Couric that stupid BITCH.

    "Are you worth it????"

    god i hate Couric shes the worst host on the news, no personality, and then goes to CBS because everyone feels bad for her....Couric can eat a dick

  • fuck you stupid little kunt

  • No one should make that much money as long as people are starving.

  • what a fag .. he makes more then 7000 dollars every pitch thats bullshit

  • He isn't worth 350 Million dollars. period.
