February 13th 2007 will go down in history as one of the most significant and unprecedented days in modern sports. First Ballot Hall of Famer Roger Clemens faced off in Congress against the selective memory of former trainer Brian McNamee. For hours, both men were bombarded by questions from honorable congressman who clearly forgot that there are bigger things to worry about than a single pitcher and trainer. My problem with this entire spectacle is that one of these men is 100 percent lying to Congress, MLB fans, and America. I'm also having a hard time wrapping my mind around why Roger Clemens would go to these lengths to clear his name if indeed he did use performance enhancing drugs. I mean, Barry Bonds ruined his name and is facing criminal charges for perjuring himself in court last summer. Didnt Roger watch any of this coverage? He must have because he clearly knows the consequences that he will face if it is proved that he lied and took steriods.
Clearly, both men are not likeable people and it makes me feel that the "winner" of this case will be simply the lesser of two evils. It reminds me of the 2004 presidential election, you had the Texas boy trying to save his presidency amid much chaos up against the unlikeable challenger who no one wanted to see win. Personally, I would like to see Roger beat this case, but unfortunately for him and his legacy, his name and good track record may never be repaired. Needless to say, there are a great deal of holes in both parties' stories and before we move on, there needs to be a great deal of questions asked and even more witnesses testimonies in regards to this scandal.
