Clemens just won't GO AWAY

I've been desperately trying not to write a blog about Roger Clemens because I just want him to go away but here it is. I guess I'll start with the Mitchell Report then move straight to the congress hearing and all the way to today's mess with the relationships he has had over the years.

So at first I wanted to believe rocket when he publicly blasted (red sox employee) Sen. Mitchell on naming him to the report. I didn't want to believe Brian McNamee for ratting him out. I took it as a disgruntled ex-employee. I think most people felt that way until Andy Pettitte who trained with McNamee and Clemens admitted to HGH use. Then I think everyone felt if Andy can admit to it then Clemens must have been lying. Yet Clemens stood his ground. Then there was the taped phone conversation with McNamee that proved nothing as both parties involved wasn't going to say anything. Boy did that piss me off. So after going back and forth Clemens had his day in court so to speak. Congress had McNamee, some nobody in the middle and Clemens. I was home that day and watched all of the proceedings. What a waste of time. It turned out to be that half of the committee was for McNamee and the other half was for Clemens. It was a political pissing match that proved nothing. The only thing I think everyone came away with that day was 2 things. First that anyone who wasted the day watching that crap lost many many i.q. points. Second that both were liars.

Now that Clemens awaits to see if the government is coming after him he decides to file a defamation lawsuit against McNamee. How does McNamee respond? He releases rumors about Clemens having affairs over the years and one in particular a decade long affair with a 15 year old country music singer Mindy McCready. Are you kidding me? Can someone of Clemens statue be that stupid.? Apparently he is. The country music singer now legal said she couldn't dispute the claim. Rocket says his relationship was strictly clean. Just friends. I find it hard to believe. What is next you may wonder? A bartender in New York came out and said she had an affair with Clemens too. Now there is reports that he had an affair with Golfer john Daly's ex-wife. Take a minute and let it all sink in.

OK break over because Clemens came out today and apologized for the "relationships" he has had over the years. Great. Who cares? What a shock. An athlete cheated on his wife. Stop the presses. Clemens is getting killed through the press and most people think including me that if he drops his lawsuit maybe this will all go away. The problem is Clemens is a stubborn southerner. I remember another stubborn southerner. His name was General Lee and you all know what happened to him. Clemens cannot win this war. Time to pack it in and pray that enough people forget this mess and vote you into the Hall of Fame. After all Roger we all know that going to the hall is the most important thing left to you. So important that you are willing to lose your family, dignity and reputation for it. I hope it is all worth it for you in the end.
