Bottom Line - Roger, Roger

Roger Clemens has said that the only reason he waited so long to viamently deny all the allegations was because his counsel Rusty Hardin had told him not to, even though most of us INCLUDING myself would consider quote lawyering up an admission of guilt - because if you're innocent at that point, as John Smoltz pointed out, and I agree with - you're flipping out and willing to do absolutely anything you have to in order to clear your name. With the 60 minutes thing what I saw was an angry Rocket, but a HIGHLY and almost laughably edited and CLEARLY pre-screened and scripted interview that had no tough questions and a whole lot of fluff...including my lord how about the "Swear?" Yes "I swear" stuff....I mean were tosies crossed...? Give me a break! Here is my problem with this whole thing and why I dont think it really helped Clemens all that much. What would be the VERY FIRST thing you would ask McNamee in that spot if it were you - a guy who gave this trainer a life and career, and quite obviously a guy you considered a close friend? Thats right - WHY DID YOU LIE - HEY MAN WHY AND HOW COULD YOU DO THAT - These guys danced around things and Clemens NEVER asked that question. It was clear to me that Clemens had Hardin in his corner on this call, and I dont think we heard ANYTHING that leans us back to the innocent side at all. THAT’S the bottom line!
