If he had come right out after the Mitchell Report was released and pulled the Andy Pettitte or Rodney Harrison reasoning for using PED's, many fans would have been dissappointed, but I believe most would have forgiven him and moved on. He is now way past the point of no return. Hey, at least he's a basball titan. Check out this other clip featuring Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana embarrasing ...

You know, Roger Clemens, unless it's proven that he used steroids, and so far, I haven't seen anything like -- if he did, he ought to be held accountable -- but Roger Clemens is a baseball -- he's a titan in baseball.

Anyone watching the Clemens-McNamee congressional hearing was stunned by Indiana Republican Dan Burton’s attack of Brian McNamee, quite reminiscent of Stewie pummeling Lois.

No Hall of Fame for Roger Clemens!

Andy Pettite has harpooned Roger Clemens. Clemens is as believable as OJ Simpson. I was surprised the MRI wasn’t given more attention.
