Attention NYC Poker Players: Learn A-Rod’s Tell

Alex Rodriguez (who reportedly tested positive for steroids in 2003) used to be a big user of New York’s card rooms, before the Yankees requested he knock it off. And if we learned anything* from Casino Royale a few years ago, it’s that everyone has a tell. Deadspin reminds us that on the occasion of Barry Bonds breaking the all-time home run record, A-Rod told Katie Couric he had never taken steroids. (Note: clip begins with a short ad.)↵
