I wanted to post my thoughts on the Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens hearing yesterday, but I thought it would be a wise move to wait 24 hours to digest my thoughts first. So here they are.

Roger Clemens took steroids/HGH. After everything that has gone on since the Mitchell Report came out, it is painfully obvious that he has. Yes, some of what McNamee says seems sketchy and he is a slime ball. However, you can't ignore the fact that he said he also injected Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch with steroids/HGH and they've both said that they have taken steroids and McNamee was telling the truth. Also, Pettitte told Congress that he had two conversations with Mr.Clemens about HGH and that Roger told him he had taken it.

My personal highlight from yesterday's hearing was when Roger didn't know what a Vegan was. Which brings me to Clemens biggest flaw in his lie, B12 injections. Sure, he takes, or took, B12, thats fine, no problem there. But, they have this wonderful vitamin in pill form, which he said he took. So, why would he all of a sudden decide to take a couple shots of this from a needle instead? Because his mama told him to? I don't think so.

Then, when he was getting hit over the head, he started saying statements such as, "as far as I know", when talking about what he knew was in the needles of his injections. What does he mean by that? All of the professional athletes I've met and talked to have said they don't have anyone put anything into their body unless they know %100 what it is.

It's been a valiant effort for William Roger Clemens, but it's time he sets his massive ego aside, faces the music, and tells the world what it already knows.

Don't worry though Roger. Whatever money troubles you run into, I'm sure the Yankees are willing to give you another $22,222,222 contract.


Take off,
