Default Roger Clemens was a "stiff" competitor

It's like watching a car wreck...

The wildly popular lifestyle drug is legal and not banned by Major League Baseball or other leagues. Clemens violated no drug-testing rules by using the drug.
nuff said. If you think this was something immoral, what's your take on the stimulants that run rampant through hockey?

To me it is amazing how a few players are being singled out in baseball when steroid use was soo rampant. Not to condone what they did but seriously if the media is going to rag on roger as much as they have theres a few hundred other major leaguers.

Granted his trying to deny it and the ongoing saga have helped push him into the spotlight more.

It's our society. We like to raise people to the top of the mountain and then push them off.

Clemens' lawyer Rusty Hardin did not return a call for comment.
Ummm... If he's rusty, maybe he should be the one taking it.

Clemens and Bonds are the famous ones with all the records and a lost ticket into the hall of fame.

Nobody cares what Yordany Ramirez and Jerry Hairston are doing.

If the same scandal hit hockey we'd get the same kind of coverage. Bonds/Clemens are like, say Jagr and Joe Sakic. If they got nailed doing something they'd get a lot more coverage than a hundred Steve Montadors Ronald Petrovickys.

How come we never see any players on the field with boners?

Yes that's a serious question.
