And The Nominee Goes Too…
And The Nominee Goes Too…
Roger Clemens is either the world’s greatest actor or he did not take PEDs…claims made by his x-trainer, Brian McNamee, in the Mitchell Report…
Mark your calendars ladies and gentlemen…January 15th and 16th will be two days you will want to call into work sick…stay home…get the bag of popcorn ready and while your at it - a few bottles of wine!
I don’t think anything can come close to the OJ Simpson Trial…folks filed for unemployment to stay home for the year to watch that case unfold…
But for 2 days - you will hear Bud Selig, Don Fehr, George Mitchell, Roger Clemens…and possibly Andy Pettitte…and Chuck Knoblauch…both former teammates of Clemens…and maybe even Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski - THE RATS!!! …testify before a Congressional committee - being asked questions regarding use of PEDs in MLB.
Could you ask for a better cast?????
A very interesting turn of events since Sunday… and no I am not talking about American Gladiators!
Roger Clemens denied allegation of using PEDs on “60 Minutes” with Mike Wallace… and in my opinion did not go so well…
on Monday - an ESPN.Com / Sports nation Poll was posted and 65% of the country still believed that Roger JUICED UP!!!
Sunday evening, following the interview - Roger filed a defamation lawsuit against Brian McNamee…
Monday, Roger held a news conference in which he played a 17 min. taped phone conversation between him and McNamee from 3 days prior…at one point, Brian told Roger “All I did was what I thought was right. And I never thought it was right, but I had no other choice”
Me…personally… Sunday evening I believed Roger Clemens cheated the game of baseball by using PEDs…
Monday evening - after the dog and pony show - I have my doubts…
and more importantly - I question the validity of the Mitchell Report…
Clemens decision to testify in front of Congress now centers on his public image… Even though there is risk of perjury involved in testifying - if you want to clear your name - it is something you have to…right?
Because in our country - you are GUILTY until proven INNOCENT…
Clemens’ attorney Hardin said…”This is basically going to be Roger’s show with the committee…The Congress will take the position he’s out on the mound alone.”
Hopefully he’s got game that day!
And you can guarantee the world will be watching as the actors take the stage and this drama unfolds even more…
Stay Tuned!!!

Roger Clemens’ actions have mirrored Marion Jones’ — from vehemently denying to filing a defamation lawsuite (remember, Jones filed a $25,000,000 lawsuit against Victor Conte & BALCO). So what’s left in this comparison? Rog joining Marion in the Big House…

Thought you might be interested in this Maryland Company that is helping athletes, at all levels, gain exposure. It is called Archivasports and they offer unlimited storage of any organized sports video from any level all for free. So athletes can manage their entire career from one central place and don’t have to deal with dvd and vhs. I have put my older 3 boys in it and has been great for the family to see their games from around the world and my oldest son will soon be sending his to college coaches. Just figured I would give u a head up since I think this will change the way athletes can visibility.
