Morning Becoming Eclectic

So with all the rumors and rumblings across the camps in Florida and Arizona, sometimes it's hard to focus on what's really important. Roger Clemens was at Jose Canseco's party, according to newly released photographs he took with a boy at the party; Manny changed his agent to Scott Boras one day after declaring he wanted to finish his career in Boston, and that's not necessarily a bad thing considering Boras' relationship with the front office; Coco Crisp stated his desire to play full time or be traded, but not in a malicious way, and Jacoby Ellsbury seems to be OK with the competition; David Ortiz's knee is close to 100%, and Curt Schiling's shoulder is starting the long road through rehab. These are all the big "business" headlines that I've been keeping up with over the last week, and if you've been doing your reading, maybe you have, too.

Still, weekends are slow, so maybe you decided not to check your online link list, or maybe you decided to hit the ground running on this snowy Saturday morning and skip the morning paper. Wait for Sunday, right? Well, if that's the case then you missed a fantastic piece by the Globe's Gordon Edes. Nothing you'll find on Sportscenter or even scrolling across the BottomLine, but something that's somehow more important than everything mentioned above. I won't ruin it for you. I'll just post the link to this creation here and at the bottom of the post.

Happy Reading.

"Camp Sights," Gordon Edes
