It was just a matter of time. Normally I would say, "Doesn't Congress have better things to do". But with Clemons, I hope they go after him hard.

Still can't get past his comment about genetic heart disease in his family, as was evidenced by his father-in-law (or something along those lines).

Couldn't agree more. He would have been better taking Sammy Sosa's approach and say he can't answer because he doesn't understand the English language that well. Clemens is a POS.

I hope he goes down, and goes down hard. Even since that Bush-league, broken bat toss at Mike Piazza, I have hated this prick.

Congress should have better shit to do. That said, he's a retard and should be punished for lying. So I am indifferent.

I mean Congress could be doing something productive.....whatever takes Americans' eyes off the problem. This, sadly, may actually garner a rise in the polls for those fuckers on Capitol Hill.

Clemens tweet today:
I never took HGH or Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress. I look forward to challenging the Governments accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial. I appreciate all the support I have been getting. I am happy to finally have my day in court.

It's quite easy to argue that Clemens benefitted more than any other player from illegal substances.

My least favorite star of all-time.

Oh i bet he settles if they offer or something. Let's just say the government big boys don't just go after people without having major evidence that'll stick. I hope he likes being called "red rocket" lol bad joke!

Apparently he was already offered a deal and he declined. The guy is just a stubborn asshole and you don't get indicted without some evidence against you. He's screwed. Read where he could face from 6-18 months in prison, and the trial won't be for another year. Just another problem I have with the legal system. They investigate him for a year to see whether or not to charge, and then they wait another year for a trial. All in hopes of sending him to jail for a few months.

Pfffttttt perjury isn't a real crime is it? I mean Clinton committed perjury to a federal grand jury. Not only did he not go to jail he didn't even lose his POTUS job.

I'm indifferent if he goes down hard. But if he does then shouldn't others? Didn't Palmereo say he didn't take anything then fail a test. I've heard that Bonds name is one of those on the list of 100+ players who failed test. Shouldn't they both be charged also? Maybe McGuire too.
