Nomar Is A Fraud

Contrary to Guy in the Balcony's love for Nomar, I have a different take. Before I unleash a barrage on Nomar, I want to say up-front that he was fantastic for a stretch of time with the Red Sox. That being said, it doesn't change how he left and how he is now viewed by real Boston sports fans. Nomar was a fraud, is a fraud and will always be a fraud.

Nomar was a fraud from the day he stepped into a uniform with the Red Sox. He hated the media from day one, and only had his smile on his face in front of the camera. Behind the scenes, we all know that Nomar could care less about the fans and the media. He smiled when he walked out of the dugout, but in the tunnel you know that he thought that the fans were just an annoying pest that he had to fake-like in order to get cheered for. He was the classic conman.

With the media, he was an absolute dick. Remember folks, he is the one that put the red line in the Sox clubhouse. NO MEDIA MEMBER CAN CROSS THE LINE! What kind of prick move is that? Of course media members are going to ask you for interviews after the game, but they are not trying to invade your personal space. They don't want to be rubbing up against your nude body when you are changing. Media members know their place. They give athletes their space, and in return the athletes are expected to treat media members with a sense of respect. Putting a line on the floor is pretty much a bitchslap to the media. It is saying, 'I am better than you, and you are a peasant to me.' Stay classy Nomar.

Nomar is still currently a lying dumbass to this day. On WEEI no more than one hour ago, Nomar said that he was misunderstood in Boston. The media didn't understand his ways because he is a tad obsessive compulsive. He got a bad rap in Boston. The fans didn't understand his contract issues. Theo stabbed him in the back, yet Nomie is the bigger man because he is over it. Bologna. Nomar is a liar. The entire interview I wanted Dale or Michael to ask Nomar why he drew the line in front of the locker. Why did you sit out in 2004 in Yankee Stadium? Why did you come back to the Sox if you really hated Theo? Is this just a PR move Nomar so your next stint with ESPN is a prosperous one?

Nomar was a liar, is a liar, and will be a liar at ESPN. He will always tell people that he remembers Boston in the fondest of lights...but just don't ask him his real motives for quitting on his team in 2004. He told Dale and Michael that he loved the fans of Boston. Well, if you loved us Nomar, why did you quit? I am sad Nomar is going to retire with the Red Sox, I would have been happier if Theo told Nomar to retire as an Oakland A.
