I’m not sure there’s such a thing as a legitimate tragedy that includes the phrase “comparing their boob jobs.”
The tragedy is twofold: you and I weren’t there, and there is no known video footage of the occasion.
Well, it is and is isn’t. The PEDs that pro sports leagues ban are those that would either be prhibited de jure, or required de facto.
I guess you’ve only read the edited versions of Hamlet.

So Rog was yelling at photogs yesterday, and now he’ll be investigated, and his brain dead lawyer comes out with this gem- can’t his lawyer just shut his yapper as well?
“Roger knew all along that if he told what he knew to be the truth, he would be getting a criminal referral, yet he still chose to testify both by deposition under oath and in public under oath,” Hardin said. “That should tell you something about how deeply he believes in what he is saying.”
:dubious:
The only question now is when will his pal Dubya jump in and save him, and how public opinion on that will go with Marion Jones in prison for the exact same thing.
I guess that eleven-year-old kid couldn’t be in two places at once.
I will be deeply disappointed if he doesn’t do time - seeing that Jones has a sentence.
I know which one is the more popular athlete in the more popular sport - but I will feel better if there’s at least some vague pretense of fairness.
I couldn’t care less if he does time. What’s going to be vastly more entertaining is watching him melt down when the Hall of Fame rejects him the first time out.
And every time thereafter, Xenu willing.
HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost Its time. They are going to investigate Roger and if it comes out badly he will need a pardon.
I remember seeing that and realizing what a massive tool he was. His defense was that she was crowding the plate.
I know that this allegation comes from 1995, before everything was being put on the internet for research, but do you have any primary data sources for this? I see lots of references on message boards, including one which states that it was a wiffle ball game. Another said it was from a 60 Minutes interview where they (Clemens and his wife) were having fun and joking. Pregnant does not mean made of crystal, and while I accept that things could go horribly wrong, a joking lob playing up his rep as a headhunter is not the same as knocking his wife to the dirt. It’s real easy to take a statement out of context, and the Rocket certainly has enough people looking to assassinate whatever character he has left (although it gets harder to find every time he opens his mouth). Me, I just want The Straight Dope.
Paper work is done. 4 counts of perjury and 1 of obstruction.
ESPN columnist says it does not look good for Roger.
Doing time is out of the question, so I’m hoping for a Marion Joens-esque press conference where he is forced to finally admit to all that he’s a liar and a cheat, which will tarnish his rep forever in anyones eyes, and for a guy like him will be a fate worse than a few months in the pokey.
Let me get this timeline clear 'cause I’m confused on something that I heard a couple of weeks ago (the part in parenthesis).
The Mitchell report comes out.
Clemens starts denying it. To help his denials, he/his lawyer request the Congressional hearing.
Congress (or the subcommittee or whatever) grants the request.
Clemens goes to Congress and lies.
Is this about it?
If so, this has to be one of the dumbest criminal acts of all time, akin to the thief who, while being pursued, jumped a fence… and landed directly in the jailyard. But at least the thief didn’t know that it was the jail.
And I though juice was supposed to shrink the balls, but apparently, in Clemens’ case, they swelled up like church bells.
The Whole thing has reminded me of Oscar Wilde’s legal trouble, and seems to go closer and closer every day
I wonder- did his lawyer at any point think he was telling the truth? Because meathead Rog thinking the hearing was a good idea is one thing, a lawyer allowing it seems insane, given what came out and how easily he was tripped up on basic things that any non lawyer could have forseen would be a problem. And if he didn’t know then, he must know the truth now, and still comes out with these daily absurd proclamations- I know that’s what lawyers do, but at some point he has to realize that this far in all this big talk isn’t scaring anybody off the case and that it only makes him look like an idiot.
Just out of curiosity, why do you say that? I’m not saying I think he definitely will serve time, but I think it’s certainly possible, if not likely.
