The Best Job In the World

The best job in the world is out there on the table and to this point has yet to be accepted.

Here are the perks of the job:

1) A Hefty Multimillion dollar salary.
2) Work outside, in nice weather, or inside when the weather is either too hot or rainy.
3) Only work for 4 months of the year, possibly 5 for more money of course.
4) Only have to work once every five days, and only need to travel with your organization if the travel falls within your scheduled work day.
5) Have an opportunity to work with your son for the last month of your short work year.

Only one man in the world has been gifted this offer and that man is Roger Clemens. Just think about what your ideal working conditions would be. Think of why you may enjoy or dislike your job.

For every family oriented person, Clemens has that lined up. In September his son, a catcher in Astros organization, will be called up and Clemens will pitch to his son in atleast a few innings. How much did you enjoy when you were a kid setting up in the backyard and playing catch with your pops? Could you imagine that being part of your job?

For people that work in an office, how agonizing is it on a beautiful day to look outside and think to yourself wow, I'm stuck in here for 8 hours. I could be outside playing golf or going to the beach. Well, Roger doesn't have to worry about these great weather days he works outside.

For people that work outside, how miserable is it when it is raining on you and you are soaked and you have to work through it, or those blisteringly sunny days where the sweat drenches you all day long. Roger doesn't have to worry about that, Minute Maid Park has a retractable roof and nice AC to take care of that.

Oh and there's more. Every 5th day that's it. He works then he gets 4 days off. Sure he has to go to the stadium on those other days, but how many baseball fans out there would love to get that view everyday from the dugout. Dugout life is what makes baseball the game it is. Think of how much you enjoy your softball games, and how you enjoy going even if you're only going to be an Extra Hitter that day and not even play the field. This is what Clemens does, he works every fifth day, and hangs out with his buddies at the ball park on the others. In addition if the team travels, and he's not schedule to throw, ya he gets to stay home. I certainly would love clauses in my job where on certain occasions I wouldn't have to go to work at all because my other co-workers had to travel.

In addition Roger Clemens is being offered 4 million dollars a month. 4 million dollars just think about that for a second. Most people on this planet will never see 4 million dollars in their lives, Roger Clemens is going to make 4 million dollars for every six days he goes into work. Is that even fathomable for a normal run of the mill worker? What would you do with 4 million dollars? I have no idea what I would do. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about any of the debts you may have that weigh you down, and you certainly wouldn't have to think twice whether you could afford going out to the bar on a friday night, or that vacation you wanted.

Oh and speaking of vacation time. Roger has 7 months of vacation time, where all he has to do is go to the gym and work out. Forget that 2 week vacation time you are working with now, how about 7 months. Just think about what you could do with 7 months vacation time, and millions of dollars to spend. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about whether you should or shouldn't take a half day on a friday.

So Roger do us all a favor, sign the contract and get started in what is by far the best job on the planet.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
