For now I am giving Roger the benefit of the doubt.
Clemons is as guilty as hell.
In my view, his ballsy defense is just more of Clemens' rabid competitiveness on parade. Give in? Fess up? Screw that. He'll fight til the very end. He's a maniacal competitor. That's why he does it.
I'm not apologizing for him. I think he's a jock a-hole, but I don't think he does it for fan adulation. I think he probably has little regard for fans.
It was just about 21 years ago when Roger Clemens made it clear just what sort of person that he really is. At least that was so to me at the time.
He held out on Spring Training for more dough despite the fact that he was obliged by contract to appear and play.
The man is no good, and as time has gone on, he has made that more and more evident.
Let him go on and perjure himself before Congress. Those cretins in DC will do nothing to him because he is as one of their own.
Mark my words, Clemens will be deemed a liar, and proved a substance user, and still he will walk.
That is just how things work these days.

So a professional athlete did steroids? Nobody here cares. The government doesn’t care about that either. Nobody is being charged with a crime for using steroids.
This is a Congressional PR stunt for Waxman. The excuse is...altogether now...IT’S FOR THE CHILRUNS.
I’ve hated Clemens ever since game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He begged his way off the mound by claiming he had a blister — but the truth is that he was a coward and couldn’t take the pressure, and wanted someone else to carry the team to the end so that HE couldn’t be blamed if the Mets came back.
Since then, when he got on the juice, instead of cowardice he started exhibiting crazy steroid freakouts in big games — getting kicked out against the A’s, throwing the bat against the Mets, and even this yea with the Yankees — oh, that sore hamstring kept him out of the playoffs against the Indians.
It’s all a pattern with Clemens. And it’s got steroids written all over it.
this guy hits the nail on the head every single time...
The country is going down the tube and people are getting their panties in a wad over happenings in baseball.It’s the “Bread and Circuses” Roman thing all over again.
I am no Clemens fan, but it is hard for me to believe anything produced by George Mitchell.
Nothing better than seeing a Yankee go down in disgrace. The only thing that would make me happier is to see the whole damn team move to Las Vegas.
Clemens is trying to save himself from total humiliation; a life wasted in dishonorable pursuit. No small thing, that.
