Madonna became famous when she released her debut album in 1983. She was 23 at the time. New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz was -3 at the time.

This, along with the fact that she’s a mean bitch, might be a clue to explain why Cruz turned Madonna down, twice, when she tried to arrange a meeting; first at the Super Bowl and then again at a party a few days later.

Gosh, I wonder if a rep for Madonna will try to spin this.

A rep for the singer insists Madonna was only trying to connect with him for professional reasons.

“(Madonna) needed footage of him doing his salsa dance. She wanted to try it at a press conference.”

Oh well of course. That makes perfect sense. Because the best way to get footage of him doing his touchdown dance would be to ask him personally. He probably carries around a highlight DVD just in case someone needs one. And his version is so unique and elaborate, he’s the only who could ever explain it. It’s as though I’m transported to a 1940’s Cuban nightclub every time I see it.
