Robert Cook, the man known to have never missed a Super Bowl missed Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV.

Guess A-Rod wasn’t ready for his closeup. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is said to be outraged he was shown being fed popcorn by his girlfriend and our July Jersey Chaser Cameron Diaz during the Super Bowl.

Despite the live game with many celebrities in attendance, Rodriguez felt he was set up by the Fox camera crew…. this coming from a guy with a centaur portrait of him hanging in his house.
