Rep. Dan Burton (R., Ind.) used his turn to get McNamee to admit to numerous untruths, then said, "I don't know what to believe, but I know I don't believe you.''
He called McNamee a liar, Clemens a "baseball titan," referred to the proceedings as "really disgusting," and railed against "trial by media."

Andy Pettite has harpooned Roger Clemens. Clemens is as believable as OJ Simpson. I was surprised the MRI wasn’t given more attention. Contrary to the claims of Republican Senators, the MRI film is far more reliable than a surface exam. Who knew Clemens was injured taking steroid injections?It was very telling, that the defense tried to stonewall the maid and the MRI film from the ...

From the Indy Star, writing Dan Burton was screaming this at Brian McNamee: OK. You know, I'm not going to read any more of this. This is really disgusting. You're here as a sworn witness. You're here to tell the truth. You're here under oath.

I'm reading Richard Justice's liveblogging of the hearings today... And this jumps out at me: ''Gee whiz, are you kidding me?'' Rep. Dan Burton said to McNamee at one point. That comment seemed to rattle McNamee, who stumbled over his words after that. ''Are you lying about anything else?'' Burton asked, adding, ''So you just lie when it's conventient for you to lie?'' * * * ''This is really ...

My goodness. (AP Photo) The proper thing for a sports blogger to do today would be to watch the Congressional hearings and blog like mad, but I can't take it. I just can't. I'd sooner watch Whoopi's Valentine's Day Parties feature on ABC while being forced to ingest the blended remains of six Vermont Teddy Bears and three PajamaGrams coated in Vitamin B12. Luckily you can check out Svrluga, ...

It isn't just that he almost certainly lied on Capitol Hill; it is the Texas-sized audaciousness of Roger Clemens to think that his stature in society is big enough to get away with committing perjury.

Roger Clemens now has a new performance to fit in among all the others, the pair of 20-strikeout games, the tips of his cap after each of his three retirements, the wins in the playoffs and World Series. Added to that legacy yesterday were 4 1/2 hours ...
