Good Idea, Bad Idea

This is a segment I call "Good Idea, Bad Idea" with one being my pick of "Excellent Idea". I'll decide, you comment.

Patriots acquisition of Randy Moss. Bad Idea (Seriously, Randy Moss? I was unaware that he was even worth talking about much less trading a draft pick for. I guess time will tell)

Curt Schilling keeping his mouth shut. Good Idea (Why oh Why do you keep opening your mouth and putting your foot in there?)

Messing with Steve Nash, ever. Bad Idea (He’s been cut across nose, kneed in the family jewels, and then last night hip checked by Robert Horry. After each incident he gets up and keeps playing. Steve Nash is the human equivalent of a small tank.)

Playing against the Red Sox right now. Bad Idea (I really don’t need to explain this one.)

Keeping your pets away from Michael Vick. Good Idea (I don’t think that he should be suspended just yet. I think there needs to be more proof that he’s had something to do with dog fighting. However, If he is found to be fighting dogs, suspend him for as long as possible.)

Daisuke Matsuzaka throwing an entire game. Good Idea (Obviously, because he only allowed one run yesterday. I think that him doing that really showed that he is in fact a good pitcher. The Tigers are not a horrible team.)

Pitching around Barry Bonds. Good Idea (I really wouldn’t want to be the guy that he gets home run 755 or 756 off of.)

Moving Devon Hester to offense. Good Idea (I’m not a huge fan of the Bears but moving Hester to offense was an obvious move. I’m secretly pulling for him.)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. leaving DEI. Excellent Idea (If he wants to win a championship, and trust me he does, he had to leave DEI. I’m very happy with his decision and this my excellent idea of the week.)

Old Man Clemens

To start out I can't even understand why the Red Sox even made a bid for Roger Clemens. He was a traitor once already for going to the Yankees and then he pretends to be interested in the Red Sox again when the entire time he knew he'd go to the Yankees. Well, I have to agree with Curt Schilling, we(Red Sox) don't need him. The Red Sox have the best record in the American League without him.

I know how these things work. Teams pay a ton of money for a player and they think that one guy can turn an entire team, or an entire season around. Well I can assure you it will take a lot more than Roger Clemens pitching to help the Yankees. Unless he can pitch every single game, I really don't think he's the answer.

I understand that Clemens was ultimately looking for a large paycheck, and I'm glad he's not with the Red Sox. However, if I were Roger Clemens, what would I do? Would I go to the Red Sox, the team with the best record in the AL and has the depth enough to go all the way? Or, do I go with the Yankees a last place team that has some great offensive players but has no depth in regards to pitching? Personally, I'd go with the Red Sox. I'm not saying that as just a fan, I'm saying it as someone whose ultimate goal would be to win a championship.

You can give me all the money in the world, but it will never buy a championship. Just look at George Steinbrenner he's spent a ton of money on the Yankees and where are they? Dead last.

Well I can promise you I will be watching the Red Sox play against the Yankees on June 1st at Fenway when Roger Clemens gets his first start. I hope he doesn't pull a hamstring.

**Edit** Josh Beckett rocks! 6-0 start is wicked awesome.
