Here's to hoping the Rocket fizzles

>> Wednesday

As a sports fan, when you see great players like Jerry Rice, Michael Jordan or Sammy Sosa try to hang on to careers that are bound to do nothing but decline, your stomach turns a little. We've seen it a thousand times, and everytime the same sentiment resonates through the sports culture: you never want to see a great player's career end like that.

Well never say never. Now that Roger Clemens has officially agreed to play another year for the Houston Astros, I'm praying for a ballooning ERA and a pile of losses (if the baseball gods want exact numbers I'm currently throwing around a 1-9 record with a 5.89 ERA, but those numbers are flexible).

Who else out there would love to see this selfish bastard, albiet a fantastic baseball player/selfish bastard, crash and burn?

Though I never outwarldly want an athlete to fail, yes, I'll admit to having a sadistic side that would enjoy seeing that. But I can't see it happening.

And by the way, who says Michael hung on too long? I may have been more a fan of him when he was schooling the young whippersnappers as a Wizzard than when he was with the Bullsss.

There is a problem with the argument often give of "Hey, as long as they can still play, and still want to play, let em."

Many athletes don't figure out that they can't cut it anymore untill it's too late.

Yeah, but Clemens clearly still has it. So did Jordan.
