"Fat Derek Jeter" has the Internet talking... and ladies still swooning, most likely

In their latest classic, the NY Post has published recent pictures of Derek Jeter, who has apparently gained a few pounds while rehabbing from his broken ankle.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a world-class athlete won't be able to maintain the same cardio activity that he normally does, after sustaining a major ankle injury.

Logically, it makes perfect sense that Jeter, who has been rail thin for his entire career, would gain a few pounds after an injury that prevents him from engaging in his normal workout routine.

Then again, I suppose it's perfectly normal that the New York Post would post a huge back page spread featuring something that isn't even remotely a big deal.



As someone who has been a long time unabashed Jeter hater, I think it's hilarious.

But as someone who is similarly shaped to the new "fat Jeter," I'm a bit offended.

But then again... I bet "fat Jeter" is still getting plenty of female visitors during his rehabilitation. So I guess it can't be that bad, right?
