I’ve never been a fan of Roger Clemens, even when he was a Red Sox player, but I, like so many others –took no joy in watching him self-destruct in front of a Congressional Committee and all the world today.
He is a liar.
A pampered player whose fame couldn’t insulate him from his own behavior. The sad thing is that one almost gets the feeling that HE believes his own BS. That may comfort him, but he fooled no one else. Throwing his own wife under the proverbial steroid bus shows how selfish he is---and how he will go to any length to save his reputation.
Too late for that. Good thing Andy Pettite wasn’t in the room to refute his lies (or was that “misremembering”?) at the moment they were uttered. Read more about todays hearings on http://www.cnn.com/
If today’s display was meant to salvage his good name, ‘ol Roger….uh…..struck out.
Karma is a tough universal force to override, even if you are the one and only Rocket.
I ceased being a fan years ago-can’t remember which one. All I know is that Roger had just signed a huge deal with the Red Sox. He then failed to show up for Spring Training in Winter Haven. He thought he was better than everyone else then….and that arrogance has only grown, nurtured in part by grown men like those in Congress that act like boys in his orbit. They got autographs, photos and tossed softball questions at their hero. How pathetic.
Baseball will be better off without him-and we will always question how good he would have been without the juice. My guess is that they would still be Hall of fame numbers. The problem is that no one should be rewarded for lying to Congress-and that’s exactly what happened today.
Sad. Very sad.
