Clemens: Probe Sought

Like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens now may be in trouble with the feds. The committee that Clemens testified in front of last week can not make a definitive decision on whether Clemens perjured himself or not...but they do know that his testimony, and only his testimony, directly contradicts the Mitchell report and all the entities named in the Mitchell report (McNamee, Pettitte, etc.). To the best of my knowledge, I don't think there has been any other player that has been named in the Mitchell report to deny any of the allegations the Mitchell report made. But of course, Clemens is the most prominent athlete to be outed by the Mitchell report and thus, has the most to lose if his legacy is 'tainted'. Then you have Rog's hayseed lawyer who basically says "Oh yeah, we knew it would come to this...and we are totally prepared." I am keeping my fingers crossed that all of Rog's court appearances and, of course, the trial itself are aired live on television (or internet) just for the comic value Rusty will add to all the proceedings.

I haven't gotten to see Bonds' legal posse yet, but we can only hope he also has some entertaining lawyers as well to break up the monotony of defining what "is" is - which will likely be the crux of both of these cheats cases in a last second dodge to avoid the ultimate wrath of federal punishment....or maybe not....
