Roger Clemens’ worst enemy isn't Brian McNamee. It’s not former Senator George Mitchell either.
Roger Clemens’ worst enemy is Roger Clemens.
Clemens might be the least intelligent sports figure of our generation. At least Barry Bonds had the smarts to pay off his former trainer and claim he had, in fact, used steroids...but didn’t know what they were.
Hardly believable, but at least almost plausible.
It took Roger Clemens DAYS to come up with the following excuse:
“It wasn’t steroids, it wasn’t HGH, it was B12!”
That’s almost as good as his “I thought it was the baseball” excuse after he famously flew into a 'roid-rage and fired the sawed-off end of a baseball bat at Mike Piazza.
Roger’s memory is apparently on par with his intelligence. Check out the following excerpt from Jose Canseco’s book:

There's always the possibility that he's telling the truth. I don't think he is. I think Clemens tat least tried these substances at one point. The story he told about taking the mound no matter what drugs he had to take in the World Series, tells me that he would do anything to enhance or prolong his career.

It's funny how all you jackasses that are distanced from the situation seems to know *exactly* how someone *should* respond to steroid accusations - as if you know far more than all of their lawyers and advisors that demand million dollar salaries. I mean, he's gotta be stupid, right? He hasn't hired SEAN CROWE on as his top advisor! I mean, seriously - if he'd only hire SEAN CROWE, he'd have responded to this situation much earlier and more effectively.
If Barry Bonds "paid off" his former trainer to keep quiet, I'd love to see your evidence of this. You probably should break this juicy story right now, before someone else beats you to it.
If this article were listed under "humor" I'd be more understanding.
This website's worst enemy is whatever woman gave birth to the retarded author of this article. Hopefully she didn't deliver any other down syndrome babies to this earth.

I'm speaking about how an innocent person would react. The same way Curt Schilling did on his blog. I wouldn't be the right person to hire and advise Clemens. I'm not sure how you should react if you're actually guilty.

Also, the "This website's worst enemy is whatever woman gave birth to the retarded author of this article. Hopefully she didn't deliver any other down syndrome babies to this earth." line was one of the more entertaining comments I've gotten so far.
Good stuff.

In the end...what does it really matter now. Being linked to steroids might be a little bit like being accused of sexual assault. Even if you can prove you did not do either, the tag sticks with you.
If the FEDS have nothing, it is not outside the realm for them to suggest that a lie be told. How embarrassing would it be to go through this entire charrade and land a big one.
The minute the US government gets involved in anything...I am prepared to take the other side. The US government has been screwing US citizens forever, what is to say that could not do it in this case as well.
And for the record....I could give rats ass who used them, why they used them and if they used them. Pam Anderson has fake breasts...that won't keep me from looking at her.
Jennifer Anniston had her nose done, Joan Rivers her entire mug (bad example)...who cares. They are paid to perform...do you really care....we pay to watch them to perform to their best...if they don't do it....we feel ripped off.
Those people who watched Roger strike out, what, 100 batters in one game, do you think they are saying....it was the greatest game I ever saw pitched...but he had help...I will no longer see it as the greatest game pitched.
This game, this government and the sporting world is full of hypocracy....lets just view it as entertainment and nothing more....and forget about what these people do to their bodies....it ain't all that important in the big picture as far as I am concerned.

You ever see that Discovery channel episode where investigators share their examination strategies. One of the sure bets that a suspect or witness is slightly fabricating a story has something to do with that person getting a dry mouth.
Anyone notice how frequently Roger licked his lips and needed to sip water from the studio glass?

I noticed how smug and proud he looked during his press conference while playing that ridiculous tape that he somehow thought made him look better....
Do you realize he constantly compared his wife being upset that he's been accused of taking steroids to MacNamee's kid dying? He's unreal.

If Clemens is guilty, I also think Schilling is. The guy got miraculously better at age 32, which no pitcher in the history of the game ever has. He was above average at best in Philadelphia, and then turns into a Cy Young winner in Arizona. Makes no sense. At least Clemens was dominant prior to taking anything. Schilling is such a hypocrite, and that's why no one in baseball likes him.

Not to ruin a good argument with facts, but a couple of things to note:
1) "prime" for a starting pitcher is generally between 28 and 34.
2) all of the significant pitching statistics for Schilling have declined since he turned 35.
3) when he was 28, he could throw nearly 100 Mph on command. When he was 32, he could dial it up to 97 on occasion. Now he throws 89. Steroids would have helped that number, don't you think?

I have a rule of thumb as well as a phobia for needles.
If you're willing to let a non-medical professional inject you with ANY substance, then its not out of the realm of possibility that Clemens received HGH... what about the 2001 WS when he told Torre he would do ANYTHING to keep his start in that game....what qualifies as ANYTHING?
I'm guessing ANYTHING was whatever Brian McNamee had in his bag, and we know HGH was in his bag.
Plus all those years of being a scumbag are coming back to haunt Clemens. Remember when Piazza'a bat broke and Clemens chased him up the baseline and threw it back at him?
What was that? People don't forget such behavior.

Hey, he thought it was the baseball!
Also, he thought he was playing dodgeball.

As each detail and analysis develops, I begin to think Roger is guilty more and more. Not entirely sure if it really matters in the grand scheme of things, but it's entertaining at the very least. It just makes sense, though. How many guys linked to PED's have been wrongly accused? 9 times out of 10, they're guilty of some "wrong-doing."
But forget the Roid Rocket. How pumped is Bonds now that Clemens is hogging the spotlight for all the wrong reasons? For once, he has to be pretty satisfied with sitting quietly in the shadows. Imagine that.
Misery loves company.

Fools! I can't believe how naive (perhaps stupid) Americans are. With all the shit going on in this world and country and you idiots take this shit seriously? Beyond stupidity! Prioritize crime! Clemens and steroids v. Sibel Edmonds (FBI translator) finding Bush Administration kosher sellouts who sell nuke secrets to humps! Wake up America! Google Sibel Edmonds.
