The local tv stations carried ARod's news conference live (it just finished). I missed the beginning of it, but from what I saw, it appeared he answered all the questions honestly.
He was asked if the Texas years' stats should stand (the years in which he admitted steroid use) and his answer was that it wasn't up to him to decide. He was quick to point out that his best years (when he was very young and 2007) were done without steroid use.
He just wants to put this all behind him and wants to get on with his career and life.
Dunno if he won over any fans, but at least he spoke his mind.
