O/T - Clemens On 60 Minutes

Here is one excerpt from the 60 Minutes interview that was so incredibly lame regarding why Clemens claims he couldn't have taken steroids:

Quote from Clemens during interview: "If he's [McNamee] putting that stuff up in my body, if what he's saying which is totally false, if he's doing that to me, I should have a third ear coming out of my forehead." Later Clemens goes on to say, "Why didn't I break down? Why didn't my tendons turn to dust? That's all it's good for. It's a quick fix.

If anyone believes this is even remotely true, then this proves no one in baseball has ever taken steroids because players like Canseco, Giambi, and other who have confessed to steroid have no third ear on their forehead or tendons of dust.



Here's another segment where Clemens is totally clueless regarding coming up with a credible explanation why McNamee had to testify against him:

Mike Wallace states, "George Mitchell says he believes McNamee and this is why: McNamee got caught up in a federal steroids investigation, and the federal prosecutors agreed not to charge him if he told the truth about his involvement with steroids. But they would charge him if he gave any false information. So Mitchell says McNamee had strong incentives to tell the truth," Wallace says. "What did McNamee gain by lying?"

"Evidently not going to jail," Clemens says.

"Jail time for what?" Wallace asks

"Well, I think he's been buying and movin' steroids," Clemens says.








Here's the transcript of the interview:
