the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

BREAKING NEWS

Former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens has been found not guilty on federal charges of perjury regarding his suspected use of steroids or human growth hormone.

I thought for sure he was going to be convicted.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

It's about time. Good for the Rocket, I love that big douchebag. :tu
Almost makes me wish our government would have just saved the millions of dollars wasted jerking him around.
And yeah, of course he did it. Which makes it all that much more ridiculous and wasteful. I could have spent that money on drugs and toothless hookers, and at least someone would have gotten something positive out of it.

:tpd:


But I guess it's good news for him, and for others with Hall Of Fame aspirations, like Bonds and A-Rod. :r

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

He was indicted in 2007 when the country was going into an economic crisis. They figured it would be a good idea to try to convict a baseball player. What a huge waste of time and money over the last 5 years, I'm glad he was found not guilty....too much government. This was a MLB problem not a government problem.

Herpes?

Didn't see that one coming.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Government gets egg on their face yet again with another steroids case.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Clemens definitely proved himself to be an @$$hole during all of this, but being an @$$hole doesn't mean you need to go to prison. Maybe now the government will stop intervening in baseball altogether.


Clemens and Bonds deserve an award for all of this, whether they are guilty or not. I know that political discussion is not welcome here, but if Ron Paul had anything to do with this, then baseball players never would have been on trial.

That'd be the perfect segue to the asspounding the American public took on all this nonsense. Next week we'll probably spend a quarter of a billion dollars investigating skidmarks in Oprah's skivvies.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

I'd believe that the way gov't has worked so far lately...

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

I still doubt he ever gets into the HOF :2

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Then after the investigation they'll come to find out that Oprah goes commando.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Which is a shame, because if there's two people that deserve to be in, it's Bonds and Clemens. Two of the best players of this generation.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Exactly. And come to find out that nobody even bothered to ask her.
Honestly, I love the Rocket. He's a lovable asshole. He embraces being what he is and doesn't offer up any excuses for it.
Bonds is a woman-beating self-important shoe scraping, always was. Juice or no juice, I've never understood why taxpayer money is chasing them. It's just so silly it boggles me. It makes sense if MLB was up in his business, or the cops, but the federal government probably has more important fish to fry. Or I certainly hope they would. Apparently they do not.

This should just about wrap things up, Yes? I think Bonds is done as well, or is he still under investigation? Anyone else?

Congress doesn't like being lied to, especially under oath, particularly in such a vehement fashion as Clemens did. He essentially gave Congress and the American people the finger and dared them to do something about it. I hope it cost him a ton of money as well as the HOF.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Govt had no business go after anyone over PED's. Pro sports are private enterprizes and that's that.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

I think they were just jealous someone was better at it.

Re: the "Rocket"....NOT GUILTY
 

Bonds, McGwire, Clemens in baseball, Armstrong in cycling, Lord knows how many in football...the governing bodies need to take care of it, not the government. Bunch of egomaniacs on both sides. I understand about being the best, but if you can't be the beat without help, then maybe you need to find something you can be the best at.

I think this cost him his HOF shot.
