Mark’s Soap Box

Well Roger Clemens finally came out personally to “deny” using Performance enhancing drugs” (PED). Little late there, Rog ol’ boy.

Wow! way to man up! Not. Can you be any less enthusiastic? You need to fire your PR flack, and lawyers. Their advice sucks, and is killing your rep. You are not helping, either.

Clemens’s video release comes five days after he said in a written statement issued by his agent that he never used banned substances.

It took you over a week to issue the written denial, now another 5 days to put up a video. Does it not mean anything to you that your entire career has been trashed? You seem to not care. So I have to assume that your response, which is strikingly similar to Barry Bonds’ responses means you are just as guilty.

You don’t lead with the credits. You come out swinging; WHEN THEY MAKE THE ALLEGATIONS. You have a long way to go to convince me that your are innocent.

Curt Schilling is also discussing this issue, and has come really good takes on it.
