Hey gang:
I don't know what you guys thought after watching Roger Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee testify before Congress about steroids, but I thought it made for some good television.
Here's my take:
-- Do I believe Clemens took performance-enhancing drugs? Probably.
-- Do I believe the word of McNamee, who has lied to officials in the past? Probably not.
But seeing both get grilled by Congress was enough to make me laugh out loud.
The biggest negative for Clemens that came from Wednesday's session on the Hill is the deposition from good friend -- and former teammate -- Andy Pettitte, who not only agreed with McNamee about Pettitte's own HGH use, but revealed he had two conversations with Clemens where the Rocket admitted using HGH.
To his credit, Clemens continues to defend himself, saying Pettitte misunderstood both conversations, but the Pettitte deposition is, in my opinion, damaging.
In the end, don't be surprised to see a federal investigation as to whether Clemens was committing perjury with a possible indictment ala Barry Bonds somewhere down the road. I really don't care one way of the other, I just hope it's all on TV and it's as fun to watch as today's hearing.
Until next time, take care and God bless.
