“The Days Of Clemens Life” Episode 2

Episode One

Episode 2 opens with Congress asking the Department of Justice to further investigate Roger Clemens *aka Superstar Athlete*, because they feel he has lied under oath. This coming after Clemens and McNamee *the scorn lover* are questioned for 5 hours back on Feb. 13th. After watching the highlights for the congressional hearing.. I can’t say this move surprises me. The one big question that congress has is “Was Clemens actually at a party hosted by Canseco”?? as McNamee claims he was. There are reports that while Clemens continues to say “No I was not there, I was playing golf” while my wife, kids, and nanny were at this party.. Pictures of Clemens at the party have surfaced.

Andy Pettitte *the best friend between the two* has held a press confrence and handled himself fairly well, considering the circumstances. He also stated that he has not spoken to his best friend *Clemens* since the Mitchell Report has been released, but hopes they will remain friends. I think you would have had a better chance of remaining friends had Clemens stepped up and admitted his use, rather then fighting it tooth and nail. I’m not sure if I was Pettitte, I would want to remain friends with Clemens.. I think it would be in Pettittes best interest to cut ties with Clemens, and try to rebuild his image.

Clemens has reported to Astors spring training, but has declined any further comments on the drama that has become his life.. Clemens and Bonds* could be sharing a cell real soon, since now they both face the same legal issues.. Sean, a reader left a great comment on one of my other posts, I felt was perfect for Episode 2..

‘The most ironic thing is that Bonds and Clemens have better chances of ending up as cell mates, then getting into Cooperstown…Would pay to find who the bitch is in that relationship”

This concludes “The Days Of Clemens Life” Episode 2

Myron Cope Will Be Missed

Myron Cope, color analyst for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and creator of the *Terrible Towel* has passed away at age 79.

NFL Combine In The Books

Well the NFL combine is in the books.. No real big surprises this year.. Now of-course you have what we like to call the *Combine Warriors* this title goes to the players that come to the draft after have an average career at the college level, and just WOW the scouts with their combine workouts.. Colt Brennan is one this year that could possibly be labeled combine warrior.. Now Colt did have an outstanding career in Hawaii.. but he ran a pass heavy offense, and played in a very weak conference.. Seems he was able to establish himself as a very accurate, strong armed passer.. Kinda reminds me of Jay Cutler.. Hopefully any teams that could be interested in Colt, will let him fall to them.. Unlike the Broncos, who traded up to get Cutler.. Looking at the first round I could see him still being on the the board  thru the 2nd round..

Darren McFadden wowed scouts with his 40 yard dash time, but so did Jamal Charles (Texas), Felix Jones (Arkansas) and Steve Slaton (West Virginia) There is no doubt in my mind McFadden will be off the board by pick 5 of the first round.. I do not see him going #1 over all thou.. Unless the Cowboys get a case of stupid, and trade with the Dolphins for the first overall pick.. I see Chris Long(Virginia) heading to Miami..

Is it draft weekend yet???

Another Stadium Bites The Dust

Greetings

It’s World Superbike Time!!!

That’s right folks. WSBK kicked off it’s 2008 season in Doha, Qatar.

THE CIRCUIT
Name: Losail International Circuit
Length: 5.380 km
Pole Position: right
Finish line length: 1068 metres
Race distance: 2 x 18 laps/96.840 km

WSBK is similar to AMA Superbike because they both use bikes that are available to the general public but unlike the Supersport type racing that require the bikes to remain almost stock and use DOT tires, Superbikes are allowed significant modifications and use slick racing tires. WSBK also runs 2 races per weekend. I do believe AMA has gone to that practice as well for it’s Superbike class.

Here’s the results from race 1

1	Troy Bayliss	Ducati Xerox Team	Ducati 1098R
2	Max Biaggi	Sterilgarda Go Eleven	Ducati 1098R
3	Troy Corser	Yamaha Motor Italia WSB Team	Yamaha YZF R1
4	Ruben Xaus	Sterilgarda Go Eleven	Ducati 1098R
5	Max Neukirchner	Team Alstare Suzuki	Suzuki GSX-R1000 K8
6	Carlos Checa	Hannspree Ten Kate Honda	Honda CBR1000RR
7	Fonsi Nieto	Team Suzuki Alstare	Suzuki GSX-R1000 K8
8	Yukio Kagayama	Team Suzuki Alstare	Suzuki GSX-R1000 K8

Most people know that I’m a HUGE Ducati fan. With that said, please take notice of how many finished in the top 10….. Ducati stepped away from all Superbike classes last year. This is their first year back with the new 1098….. Hmmmmmm, not bad.

Showdown in Memphis!!

I will be the first to admit that I do not follow NCAA basketball very closely.. I do catch a big 12 game from time to time.. pending upon who is playing.. The stage is set for the highly anticipated match-up between Memphis(1) and Tennessee(2).. I might have to tune in for this one.. Ticket prices are thru the roof.. as Mr Olbroad stated this morning.. $5000 and above.. Hey it is a #1 and #2 going head to head after all.. This is going to be a shootout plain and simple.. Both teams are pretty evenly matched..

Since I don’t really follow NCAA basketball.. I leave it to you the readers “Who’s gonna win this one”??

I’m A Cheater, Judge Toss The Case??

 

Barry Bonds* has proven yet again that he truly is an idiot! This is taken from an article I read this morning, and linked..

‘Baseball’s home run king has pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges alleging he lied when he told a federal grand jury he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. He is asking a judge to dismiss the case, arguing the questions posed to him while under oath were ambiguous and confusing”.

What is so confusing about being asked repeatedly did you take steroids?? Better question is why do you feel that because of a “government typo” you won’t get a fair trial? Please explain to me why the courts are allowing this circus to continue? This should be real simple..

Court – Did you Barry Bonds* every use performance enhancing drugs, or steroids?

Bonds* – No I did not

Court – Then how do you explain your helmet tripling in size since being traded from the Pirates to the Giants?

Bonds* – I ummmmm *looks around sweating* The media has made this a witch hunt, they hated my daddy, and I have to be a prick to the media to make it right..(typical Bonds* answer when talking to the media)

Court – Huh?

Bonds* – You heard me.. this is a witch hunt.. I have done nothing wrong..

Court – Then why has your trainer sat in jail, because he will not testify against you?

Bonds* Huh?

Court – Isn’t it true Mr Bonds* that you have been lying to this court, the media, baseball, and its fans for years now?

Bonds*- I’m confused??

Lets just get on with this, the courts know Bonds* is lying, and trying everything he can to get this case tossed.. Just like Roger Clemens, and others in the steroid era.. Barry Bonds* is going to be forever linked, and forever tainted as a cheater.. so just let it go and face the music Bonds*. Please stop wasting our time..
