This can’t be good news for Roger Clemens........
OMIGOD, these people now claim that lying about sports is bad, but lying about sex is ok?
The real outrage is that the federal government takes any interest at all in sports. That’s what bothers me. That’s the real crime. Doesn’t anyone here get that?
That would be nice ...
I do get it.
I couldn’t care less on so many levels what these guys do.
I agree with you in principle, but this Congress is so lousy that I wish it would investigate sports full time and not damage the nation in other ways.
Way to go Bud Sigel! You’ve almost single handedly destroyed Major League Baseball!
(sarcasm)
Tejada they come, Tejada they fall, one and all!
Though steroid use seemed to be as rampant as Canseco said, the people getting caught tend to have connections to the A’s, Orioles, Astros, and Rangers.
And wasn’t Tejada’a trainer also Pujols trainer? If Tejada is going to sing, Albert may be the next to do an interview with pink make-up on.
Not that I feel the least bit sorry for Miguel Tejada, but lying to Congress shouldn’t be a crime, it should almost be a requirement.
if lying to congress is a crime 80% of congress would be in jail. add jail time for stupidity and the 10 remining members of congress would be very busy.
Does pleading guilty to a misdemeanor also carry the risk that Tejada’s US work permit will be denied?
Should have pleaded the fifth on every single question. What is Congress doing investigating sports anyway?
