I truly believe that Roger Clemens, 7-time Cy Young award winner, is and was lying through his teeth when he testified before Congress under oath. After Pettitte revealed that the rumor about his HGH use was true, I thought that all of Pettitte's teammates mentioned in the Mitchell report were guilty, too. One of which, was Pettitte's good friend, Roger Clemens. Then, I was even more surprised when Clemens spoke out against the Mitchell report and swore he didn't use HGH, steroids, the works. He appeared on 60 minutes and continuously stated that he was innocent. However, he hesitated when asked whether he would go under a lie detector. I think roger Clemens met with his close advisors and friends to determine whether there was enough evidence to PROVE him guilty of perjury. Remember, innocent until proven guilty and if there is any reasonable doubt, he must be innocent. So, I think clemens tried to destroy evidence, obstruction of justice, and hide the fact that he truly took HGH. Now, if Roger Clemens didn't do that, then he must've been very stupid and he only cared about his ego. It was a stupid thing to do all for a hall of fame spot. If he would've come up with a story to still give him a shot at the hall of fame, like "I did it when I was injured..." or something like that, then he would probably be in better shape. But now he exploded a huge topic into possible jail time and this situation has gone from bad to worse. I really do apologize for the jury members of this casebecause, right now, it is one word against the other.

Clemens, perjury, same old same oldClemens has clearly lost his mind, and his lawyers have as well. This is gonna get real ugly. Everything is "looking" like he did something. All I know is someone owes the American tax payers some money for all the money and time being tied up in this crap. I'm just not sure who...Congress or Clemens?? |

Clemens, perjury, same old same oldHaha, that is very true. Clemens should pay because his $22 million contract for half of a year would cover half of the country. This is just going to blow up and it might be one of the biggest scandals since OJ and Pete Rose. |
