File This Under "No Shit"

Free agent Roger Clemens isn't planning on making a comeback in 2009 after taking all of 2008 off.
"Right now I don't have the desire to do so," Clemens said. "I'm enjoying what I'm doing, the number of things I'm doing around town, just enjoying that." Still, he wouldn't completely rule out pitching again. "I don't know if I will ever say no," he said. "I would have to know that I could perform at a high level and that my body would be able to hold up." There's not much of a chance that any team will try to persuade him to come back.

Why are reporters even asking these questions??

Still, he wouldn't completely rule out pitching again if a team offered him an obscene amount of money for a limited season, coming and going as he please. "I don't know if I will ever say no," he said. "I would have to know that I am forcing a team to offer me a contract beyond what is fair and after offseason free agency has concluded to reduce the pool of pitchers who could perform at a high level and that my body would be able to hold up while jumping into my pool of money in Texas, Scrooge McDuck style."

I would have expected a story like this to have come in a few months from now, in the winter doldrums.
