    Former Red Sox  great Roger Clemens, his legacy as imperiled as baseball’s integrity by the steroid scandal, was indicted yesterday on multiple charges of lying to Congress when he denied plying himself with illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

    A supremely arrogant man, who seems to believe his athletic ability exempts him from all the rules.

    EB3 has it right – never talk to a Fed without a lawyer.  Just as Martha Stewart, Blago, and Tom Finneran.

      Is it coincidence that the day the Clemens indictment comes down NOAA testifies before congress and their “25% oil left in Gulf of Mexico” becomes 75% under oath?  Or are some bureaucrats afraid to share a cell with The Rocket?

    All the analysts seem to be assuming that Clemons is lying, but why?  Because the feds say so?  I’m not a big fan of his arrogance either, but innocent until proven guilty and just maybe he IS the one telling the truth.

    The Feds always have one in the hopper ready for show.

    p>Somehow a grown man that plays a kid’s game for millions of dollars doesn’t really mean much to me.  “…his legacy as imperiled as baseball’s integrity by the steroid scandal…”  C’mon, the Yankees had an owner that was a convicted felon!  Baseball is a business.  

    <

    p>What if the Feds took on torturers, corrupt politicians, corrupt government contractors, rotten federal employee and appointees?

    <

    p>Nah, never happen.  The game will be played as if Roger is the only person that lied to congress.

    .. under the theory that it’s all in the past.
      It left the feds free to go after a baseball player over whether he was telling the truth about taking steroids fifteen years ago.
