Roger The Dodger

December 19, 2007 @ 09:31

It doesn’t matter what how much money you have or what your stature is, you can still get bad advice and I’m afraid that’s what Roger Clemens has received.

Yesterday Clemens it a pathetic bid to salvage his career denied ever having taken steroids or human growth hormone.

I don’t like to call the man a liar so I’ll call him desperate, motivated by watching his all-American squeaky clean image blown to smithereens and his stature as one of the greatest pitchers of all time now called into question.

Clemens has painted himself into an ugly corner now. Unless he can absolutely prove that he was never poked with a needle, he’ll find himself swimming with the likes of Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire.

Cheaters who are eventually exposed for what they are. Lying cheaters.

Clemens would have been much better to go into damage control and admit what he did with regrets and apologies. He could have taken the high road and pledged to turn a bad situation into a positive one by lecturing young people about the hazards of taking performance enhancing drugs.

Instead, he’s chosen to worry only about Roger Clemens and say whatever he has to say to maintain the image he had before the Mitchell Report was released.

But this way, its only going to get worse.

I can only imagine what will happen if and when Congress actually goes after wrestling on the steriods issue. It's obviously in every sport, but none more than in the "sport" of wrestling.

So now the onus is on the accused to prove their innocence? The Mitchell Report is not a legal document. Clemons, or any other player named in it is not obligated to respond to it at all - there's going to be no criminal investigation here. Nevertheless, the damage has been done. How is admitting he used steroids going to help him? Will that magically erase the asterisk many people are going to place beside his name when they look back on his career? His accomplishments will always be disputed now, but there are always supporters who will back him (look at OJ!). By saying he never touched steroids, Clemons is solidifying his support base. May not be honest, but it's not going to harm him.

Who cares if he lied. Congress lies to all of us all the time and get away with it. I'm not saying it's okay to lie, but if Congress isn't held to the same standard then what's the point......:-)

First, Pettie is a "rat" who will take down anyone in the name of religion. Hopefully, Clemens will have a trial before his peers which means the jury will be composed of major league ball players including those who took drugs and those who did not. This will result in a hung jury. MLB and many players should be concern about Clemens taking his case to trial as MLB and some players are going to be "burned" badly. Hopefully this is the last year I have to listen to Pettie and his Texas "tange".....:-)

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

This is definitely a blog that people need to get behind. The problem is, no one wants to do a great deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This is the internet, after all. Maybe if you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR SURE. But, I dont know if others will.

Lohan is eligable for a sentence of 12 months which would cause her doing about thirty days. She's earned the longer time in jail and now we can all trust there is a judge who see's this.

As soon as China and the few others resolve to halt shoring the dollar up and no longer purchase our treasuries we’ll default in no time. Our debt is impossible to pay back (especially with our contemporary fiscal policies) and China, Japan and the Saudis acknowledge this. They likewise recognize that knocking down the dollar would damage them in a major means, so the grudging reinforcement for the dollar. This will stop at one stage and we’ll be in huge trouble. We are the vastest debtor nation in the world!
