Alex Rodriguez seeks help from financial guru Warren Buffett

"Alex Rodriguez did not just talk to friends in Miami about coming back to the Yankees. And he did not just talk to a few Wall Street guys as he began the process of getting a better deal for himself than his agent, Soctt Boras, was ever going to get him anywhere else.

A-Rod even talked to Warren Buffett.

He made a phone call to Buffett at the billionaire investor's Berkshire Hathaway office in Omaha, the two of them having struck up a friendly relationship over the past couple of years. A-Rod explained to Buffett how distressed he was at the way things had ended for him with the Yankees. He talked about how his own free agency - and really, his own agent - had somehow gotten out in front of him.

And Buffett, who makes Scott Boras look like a bellhop when it comes it business , told him to do exactly what he ended up doing - call the Yankees himself."

"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
