Wednesday a Day to Forget for Sports

We’d be remiss if we didn’t recap some of the spectacular testimony from the Roger Clemens’ Congressional hearing on Wednesday. Our comments are as follows:

1.) The whole thing is a complete waste of tax-payer money, and an angry attempt to justify the findings of the Mitchell Report. If Clemens has in fact broken a law and perjured himself, indict him and give him a fair trial where his defense counsel has a chance to research and cross-examine witnesses as the law allows. This dog and pony show is gratuitous, and again, a complete waste of tax payer money, and during an election year I might add.

2.) I’m not body language expert but Clemens sure looks guilty. The exchange about the B-12 shots is curious too- Clemens says McNamee gave him B-12 shots and McNamee says he doesn’t even know what B-12 is (which is laughable). I wonder if in Clemens mind he hasn’t rationalized HGH as “B-12 shots” and thus by admitting to the B-12 shots he feels like he’s telling the truth.

3.) There’s no way McNamee would have injected HGH into Clemens’ wife while Clemens wasn’t home and without Clemens’ knowledge. Any red-blooded American man would kick any other man’s ass for injecting HGH into his wife, with or without her permission, and certainly would never let it happen while that red-blooded American man wasn’t home, and most especially, not a hot head like Roger Clemens. Again, laughable.

Here are the highlights from ESPN which, all things aside, does make for compelling TV.

And in yet another gross waste of taxpayer money, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with Senator Arlen Specter about the Patriots’ spygate scandal. With boat loads of foreign and domestic issues, Senator Specter felt it necessary to spend valuable tax payer money looking into the hoodie using a video camera to tape defensive.

And for some comic relief, here’s some additional Clemens-McNamee footage:

You’re welcome.
