Gossip On Sports - The Latest Dish On and Off the Field

One-Stop Shopping on the Clemens-McCready-and-Even-McNamee Affair

Yesterday we did a cutting-edge post (see how well our marketing background serves us?) on the 10-year affair between Roger Clemens and country singer Mindy McCready.
As expected, everyone who has a stake in this—Clemens, McCready, and Clemens nemesis/steroid abuse whistleblower Brian McNamee—took turns stirring the pot.   
One series of events, three interpretations. Actually, make that four, […]

Roger Clemens Must Have a Voodoo Doll

How else do you explain the oddball—what the heck, we’ll call it this anyway—”accident” that befell his former trainer and steroid whistleblower Brian McNamee?
Yesterday afternoon McNamee passed out behind the wheel and drove his Lexus head-on into a bus. No one was seriously injured, so there’s a good chance the Clemens clan was seriously amused.
The curious subplot […]

Barry Bonds, Typo Nazi

Who knew Barry Bonds was a stickler for copyediting boo-boos?
Bonds, as you probably know, is being bagged for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury about his use of “performance-enhancing drugs.” He’s pleaded not guilty to perjury and obstruction of justice charges, and now he’s turning the tables because of a couple typos: Last week, prosecuters idiotically mistakenly […]

Clemens Shirt Yanked by Yogi’s Museum

It ain’t over till it’s over, but it is for Roger Clemens at the Yogi Berra Museum. The Rocket’s shirt was removed from a rah-rah New York Yankees exhibit honoring the team’s—oh, it makes our Red Sox blood run cold to write this—4-of-5 World Series wins from 1996-2000. Seems the good folks at the Yogi […]

Thank Goodness for the Beckhams

David and Victoria Beckham, it’s at times like this that we truly appreciate your respective hotness. Or would that be hotnesses?
In one corner, you have the Roger Clemens-Brian McNamee edition of Days of Our Lives. Adding to the overall “WTF?”-ness of the whole steroid shebang is the latest McNamee bombshell that he also injected the […]

Et Tu, Mrs. Clemens?

Truth be told, we weren’t that surprised when Brian McNamee fingered Roger Clemens as a steroid kinda guy, whether it’s true or not. But nevah evah did we think Debbie Clemens, The Rocket’s daintier half, would be among The Chosen Ones.
McNamee claims that Mrs. Clemens, looking pretty darn buff here in a 2003 Sports Illustrated […]

Clemens “Speaks” Belichick

Since Roger Clemens and Bill Belichick are more fun than at least three barrels of monkeys (each), we thought we’d add a fourth barrel via a pretend Q & A with The Rocket.
The catch? All the answers by “Roger Clemens” are actually quotes from the Bill Belichick telecon a few days after the New England Patriots became dead […]

“Proof” of Clemens’ Steroid Abuse

So, Roger Clemens‘ trainer-turned-whistleblower-turned-laswuit-recipient Brian McNamee has proof. Indeed, McNamee presented photographic evidence of the Rocket’s alleged steroid abuse to a congressional committee. We weren’t sold on it until we saw that crushed beer can. Then we knew Roger was guilty! . . . Or not.
You know, we don’t want to take a congressional hearing lightly, but—wait a minute, […]

Chuck Knoblauch Slides Into Home

Well, maybe he didn’t slide into home. But at least Chuck Knoblauch made his way back. And now he’s been un-subpoenaed.
The other day we mentioned how the 1991 Rookie of the Year had the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate pointed at him in the steroid abuse scandal. Chucky Knobby’s initial reaction was to get out […]

Roger Clemens’ Agent Says, “Nuh-Uh”

Randy Hendricks, agent to Roger Clemens, can now add “Defender of the Rocket” to his business card.
Hendricks released an 18,000-word statistical report today in response to former trainer Brian McNamee’s allegations that the would-be Hall of Famer jumped on the steroid bandwagon. Fortunately, we’ve taken the time to decode and summarize the whole shebang for […]
