    Giambi accepts responsibility … for what?

    By Jeremy | February 10, 2005

    At a press conference today peppered with vague apologies and "I'm sorry" statements, Jason Giambi claimed to take full responsibility for what exactly? I for one can't figure out what he was saying. He apologized for "distractions," for "letting down" alot of people (including my then 2-year-old son, who wore a Giambi Yankee uniform one year for Halloween), and for not getting "into specifics" about what the distractions were or how he let people down. Those details, he said, he will disclose "someday, hopefully." About the only thing he stated clearly was his claim that Jose Canseco's accusations -- among other things, that Giambi and Mark McGwire injected each other with steroids while teammates in the early 1990s -- are "delusional," rooted in a "desperate" attempt "to make a dime." Funny how full responsibility for Giambi means accusing someone else of profiting from bad acts, but for himself it means simply "trying to go forward" so he can collect the rest of his $122 million Yankee paychecks, retire from baseball, and presumably peddle his own book deal for a lucrative advance. Too bad "responsibility" doesn't pay so well for the rest of us. ----- The NY Post headline on Friday summed it well: "He's no Yankee. He's a Dodger."
