OK, Maybe Rodriguez should just pay the $4M

Check out this brilliant statement from Coach Rod’s lawyer:

“It’s like back before the Civil War when slaves had the right to buy their freedom,” said Marv Robon, one of Rodriguez’s lawyers. ” A penalty of $4 million is almost like a slave from Africa trying to buy his freedom in America.”

Yes, it’s just like slavery Marv. Seriously, I don’t even get what he was trying to say. Glad to see that Coach Rodriguez is in good hands.

Memo to Coach Rod: If this is the kind of folks you have defending you, I’d hold off on that house in the Hamptons.
