Legends of the game

I ran into this interesting article that talks about Roger Clemens' recent contract signing and the antics of Brett Farve concerning his team not signing Randy Moss. The article is titled Clemens Farve -- Puppet Masters, written by Brad Locke.

clipped from www.onenewsnow.com To recap: Clemens, performing his annual rite of spring, took his sweet time in signing with a team that was willing to grossly overpay him. This year, the Yankees were the drooling idiots, giving the Racket -- I mean, Rocket -- a one-year deal for $28,000,022 (the last two digits match his uniform number; nice bit of vanity there). That's more than $1 million per start; oh yes, he'll be ready to go sometime next month, at his convenience. As for Favre, he is continuing to wear out his welcome in Green Bay. His magic is long gone, never to return, and all he can do is fuss about not getting Randy Moss on his team. He may never retire. He reluctantly agreed to bless the Packers with his presence at an upcoming mini-camp. They expect a free pass because of their seniority and Hall of Fame credentials. It's an easy notion to buy into, that of self-indulgence being justified by one's years of sacrifice or service.
