Time for Roger Clemens to get fitted for that bright orange jump suit, because if you’re listening to all the stories that are out there in the sports world, Roger Clemens is already guilty of perjury.
It’s no different this morning then it was yesterday. Rumors upon rumors swarming the “Rogerroid” story that gets more tiresome every time I see it on ESPN. Today’s rumor, Roger’s ex-teammate and buddy, Andy Pettitte is believed to have supported Brian McNamee’s claim that Roger did use HGH and steroids. This after last week’s informal meetings with representatives of Congress, and McNamee’s evidence of dirty syringes and gauze pads, which were met with a lot of criticism.
To me, Roger Clemens was doomed from the get-go. Sports journalists are always talking about what an innocent player should do, i.e. shout from the roof tops that he is innocent, but when Roger or anyone else actually does it, well, journalists find something wrong with that too. Instead of journalists praising athletes for trying to clear their name, they criticize athletes, stating that their claim was "too over-the-top." Roger do yourself a favor and just do what the press seemingly wants, say your guilty, get fitted for your fashionable bright orange jumpsuit, and smile for the cameras; you can't win.
