Major League Baseball is investigating allegations that Yankee 3rd baseman Alex Rodriguez played in a high stakes poker game that included Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck. Apparently, A-Rod seeks additional excitement in his otherwise boring routine of being seated in a luxury suite at the Super Bowl being fed popcorn by Cameron Diaz.
The best part of Poker Night With The Guys is the verbal byplay around the table. One imagines the witty repartee among this quartet of the Rich and Famous:
"Tobey, what does your Spidey Sense tell you about my hole cards? You call? Sorry, Webslinger, I win the pot. It's time for you to don the blue and red suit for "Spiderman 4 - Thirty Something Guy Tries To Convince Us That He Is A Misunderstood College Age Crime-Fighter" assuming you can still fit into the suit, that is."
"Leo, do you want more cards or not? This is taking longer than your soliloquy treading frigid water next to that raft at the end of "Titanic". Guys! Let's immerse Leo chest deep in 34° water for a half hour. Shrinkage alert!"
"Ben, raising the pot with cards like that showing makes about as much sense as agreeing to star in "Gigli". I know that Jen Lopez really wanted to do it but now you've lost both her and your career."
"A-Rod, staring at those cards isn't going to change them. Of course, you are good at changing some things - like girlfriends - going from Madonna to Kate Hudson to Cameron Diaz. Isn't it amazing how $25 million per year turns you into a chick magnet?"
Even for the Rich and Famous, the card playing is secondary to the male bonding.
