Let me be absolutely blunt: I think Roger Clemens is absolutely guilty of taking steroids. I watched his "60 Minutes" interview and his entire news conference today in Houston. I just cannot believe anything this guy is saying.

Today Clemens and his lawyer played an audio tape of a phone conversation of Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee (who is the one who accused Clemens of taking steroids in the Mitchell Report). To me the most telling thing in this conversation was whenever Clemens denied taking steroids and said it was not true, McNamee never once said anything like, "I know its not true". McNamee sounded scared and confused, and I think Clemens was taking the role of the bully by controlling the conversation.

Also, both today and in the "60 Minutes" interview he said he had no knowledge of Andy Pettitte taking human growth hormones (HGH). I don't buy that one bit. Pettitte and him are so close. Pettitte treats Clemens like an older brother and I just can't believe that those two wouldn't have discussed this. In addition, why would McNamee (who was also Pettitte's trainer) lie about Clemens and tell the truth about Pettitte. It just doesn't make any sense.

Clemens filed a defamation lawsuit against McNamee yesterday. This is probably going to turn into a long legal battle, but in the "court of public opinion" is he already guilty? I know in my head, right now he is. Roger may not ever pitch again in the Major Leagues, but I don't think the Rocket will be going away anytime soon.
