STL FANATIC Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I don't know how many are watching this on ESPN, but this is outrageous.For the last 15 minutes or so AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE, they've been playing a taped conversation between Clemens and the accuser, McNamee on January 4th.There was really nothing of any substance in the conversation. McNamee sounds horrible and desperate. Clemens was just whatever.Now Rogers talking.He was supposed to be at his college coach's sons funeral. He just sent out his condolences and said he apologizes for not being able to make it because he had to be at this conference.That's BS Roger. This conference is so much less than necessary. That makes me think so much less of you for skipping that funeral for this. Reschedule for pete's sake.Anyways, I'm still trying to keep an open mind about this.But I just don't know. I mean, this seems just absurd. I'm almost speechless. What a worthless press conference. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well it's over now, and all I came away with is that Clemens is a hot head and a jerk.Did nothing for the question of whether or not he took steroids.

Digby Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm now more confused than I was before. Why did he never ask McNamee just to say that he never gave Clemens steroids? Wouldn't that make the most sense?Guess not. Okay, Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 If anything, that press conference hurt Clemens more than helped him.Once again, I'm just waiting for Clemens to hit up Capitol Hill. Then we'll see what really went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we'll see what really went down.What's that old saying? If you're stuck in a hole the best thing you can do is stop digging. Roger Clemens is flaming out in spectacular fashion. I'd say it's sad but I could never stand the guy. I'm not going to lie and say I'm not enjoying it a little bit. This crash has been as fast as any I've ever seen. Keep digging Roger. All roads lead to Dollar General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildingmaint Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I did not hear the whole taped conversation , but did MR Clemens come right out and say " Why are you lying about ME you f--k a-- hole ? " in their taped conversation ? If some one accused me of some thing that I did not do ,I don;t think I would want to talk to him and if I did, and I was planing on taping it any way, I think I would try to get the point across that this person is lying . Why else would I tape it ? Come one you have said this guy has ruined your good name , and you won't ask him why is is lying . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I listened to the presser, and throughout the entire course of the taped conversation that was played back, I was waiting for Clemens to just lay into this guy.Didn't happen. He laid into the media, but not the guy who accused him.That doesn't exactly say guilt to me, but this is going like my father once said, "If it looks like bull**** and it smells rank like bull****, you don't have to see it come out of its ***, trust me, it's bull****."

Don Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i can kinda go with what Clemens is doing here. after Rafael Palmeiro tested positive, he came out and said it was bad, false positive, blah blah blah, youll here from me on what really happened, in time. and we still havent heard about it. damned if you do, damned if you dont. i think i saw something about that McNamee told federal prosecutors that Clemens didnt take steroids, then he told the Mitchell investigation that he did. what really baffles me is that McNamee said that Clemens provided him with the "stuff" and Clemens said hes sure it was vitamin b-12 and lidocaine, but McNamee provided it all. this is all just absurdly confusing. its all just a he said she said thing that is really just a waste of time.

ShinyHubCaps Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I doubt he was actually missing any funeral. He is probably just bringing it up to garner sympathy, one of his stupid tactics that went awry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Clemens didnt ask for a re-cant or lay into the trainer on the phone because it could be viewed as witness tampering when/if this goes to trial. He had to be vauge on the phone. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
