[hunkallgood73]

Yeah he was probably lying but man I still Love that ol' Rocket !!! A HOF without him,Rose,Bonds,Mcgwire,Sosa,A-­Rod .....aint a Hall at all

[HotVideoZone]

liar

[TheeVulture]

Congress doesn't have time and patience to fix an economy, but they have the time to bring in Clemens about his drug use?!?! Where's your priorities Congress?!?! I'm not condoning what Clemens did, but let MLB handle it. Stay out of it. The only thing that Congress should get involved is that Clemens LIED.

[7beers]

Whitney took steroids.

[MrDiamondcut]

...Under oath..."I have never taken steroids or HGH"... It's not worth it. Not worth all the incentive contracts in the world...not a $ingle dime.

[dubrope]

i know

[dubrope]

my only vices:

working too hard

giving too much

caring for others only



[zooxanthus]

fuck the oath to the fed. they lie to us at every turn, they lock up innocent people for being american so fuck this court and fuck these charges

[missfiji1769]

weres mindy

[driven6996]

Too bad for Clemmens cuz I bet he didn't do any gear until later in his career and woulda went down as a legend still had he never used it but now he's tainted

[crazydragon50]

You Americans arent at ALL disturbed by the effort spent on this issue by your government? Or better yet the lack of effort directed towards many other issues with much larger impact on society? Wow...will wonders never cease! You people act like steroids in baseball deserves anything more than a channel change?

[astrolifter]

@crazydragon50 Shut the fuck up bitch, I'm an American who believed the government wasted both time and money by going after guys like Clemens.

[randomname349]

It's sad how it's been two years and he's still denying it as vehemently as he did here.

This guy is an embarrassment to American sports. Greed and lies have stained his reputation, both in and out of the game.

[vtjbproductions]

Rocket has a little too much juice

[Tigerpuffer]

give it up Roger*

[TheVerticious]

the speaker dude is a mother fucking wombat rat pig! god damn, das some freaky ass looking man. He should be in a cave or or summin'

[mattlocke06]

Watch him lick his lips over and over. Real bad body language. Not a good liar.

[ericblr]

I think the real losers are those that are hung up on some stupid steroid using baseball player, while the country's going to hell around them! Who gives a shit what someone does in their personal life!

[LBjim]

Clemens is a fucking asshole and now it is coming out. also a pediphile, what a fucking dirtbag...All he had to was come clean like Pettite, but NO..He is in denial..No Hall for you prick!!!!

[akotr3mor]

Dear Roger "Roid Rage" Clemens and all his loser fans:

"7*"

[owen999ca]

Fuckin cheat, Shame on u Clemens!

[gotya009]

wonder if he was white and slept wit a under age teen ,old s he was ,would you be so quickly to defend this steriod freak then too,roger says im a steriod freak,but hey im a white boy too ,and the white baseball leauge will help me get off scott clean,and so will the white justice system ,they say we let our white child molster ,steriod freak get off ,,as long as thier not black,hell espn say that we will never put a black woman in a potion as a anoucer to broadcast nba games ,only white women

[by2004]

i can't wait till clemens goes down in flames. he continues to use the word 'misemembers'. he claims he has a family history of heart attacks because his step father had one! and that using roids would've meant certain death as a result. deb - leave this fat bloated pig now! he's a big fat ugly retard! i hope your balls are no more you stinking texan faggot!

[doctortulitus]

Roger Clemens is the biggest clown i ever seen...

what a coward he is... just come forward and be a men....I can wait to see whats going to happen wen they do catch him on all the lie he's been saying...

[Owunthrizzel]

Clemens determination is entertaining. this dude really believes he didnt do it. i always had suspicions about him like 4 to 6 years ago. he never fell off, or lost heat on his fast ball or anything extending into his 40s. now it makes sense and he WILL NOT admit that he used roids. why does he think he can fool the world. his wife did it, his good friend did it, his former teammate did, but he didnt do it? rogers not even foolin himself

[albrown34]

i wonder if roger clemens was another color would so many of you on here be rushing to his defense. i could assume not based off of reading the comments from barry bonds, alex rodriguez, sammy sosa and manny ramirez videos/pages. but i guess its only black people that support people because they share the same color right? idiots, you always get tangled in your own hypocrisy.

[redsoxfan117n00b]

clements arod Giambi maybe jeter and damon and soon texiria

[99boyz]

this is why baseball is gay

[xtrahone12]

im not just a ball plyer im fukn huge c**t as well

[ghking33]

Uh oooohhh  Roger. P.E.D's have been found.

[broncos828]

Mcnamee said Pettite, Knoblauch did it and they both admitted it. Now big head Clemens has such a big ego that he denies it. Just like Canseco said A-Rod did it. Nobody believed it. Now What. NOW WHAT. A-rod had balls to admit it. He learned from Bonds and Clemens. Sorry Roger. Don't drop the soap because you might get injected to.......LOL..

[ghking33]

DNA is on the syringes Roger, uh oh.....

[ukhistorian]

Roger is done.

[Patriots010304]

Clemens projects two deceitful actions in these 4 minutes, lapping of the lips and pulling his thumb closer to his hand which suggests that you're going to be deceitful. Look at the other two, thumbs are out and hand is open, Clemens not so.

[SteveDave12]

I believe he took steroids but he didn't get better in age like Barry Bonds he just took steroids to stay good.

[RobotScorpio]

and that somehow makes him less innocent of the crime..

[KillHighPitch]

Grand jury looking at Clemens case! Haha Roger you asked for it!

[anagodest]

Senator i do not take steroids, i just got bigger & stronger the older i got.

[meablood]

Ok Katt Williams

[randomname349]

And somehow, my fastball increased in its velocity too.

[wleigh]

What he can do is is say he never took steroids. What he can't do is not look big as fuck on television.

[TOMisNOTfunny]

quote katt williams

[midi111]

Roger clemens is a lying cheat who will have a big asterisk next to his name for the rest of his life.

[tkpadilla]

What the hell does congress care if baseball players used steroids? This is an issue for the MLB to handle and local courts if the law was broken. What a waste of taxpayer money for these godamn politicians to grill MLB baseball players. What do they care? Why weren't they holding meetings about fixing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac instead? This pisses me off!

[gldmj55]

MLB and local courts tried but couldn't handle it, so the case moved up to higher powers. I hate ignorant people like you who treat the sport/entertainment industry as inferior. A major scandle in a multi-billion dollar industry is a big deal, and it potentially costs people lots of money.

[rhymeandreasoning]

Clemens accused of cheating the game of baseball..omg call out the National Guard...

The President/ Gov't cheat its citizens, PUT them before congress..

All of these holier than thou people, pointing fingers...YET how many people praised and loved Roger Clemens...he did not get as famous as he is all alone..the fans had a huge hand in making him the success he is..and now the whole steroid episode about him comes out and people are 'shocked and outraged'..shut the f*** up..

[DDeCouto]

OH MY GOD THAT CHAIRMANS UGLY

[NewYorkPride1624]

I dont think roger clemens did steroids in the 80's when he pitched for the red sox. I dont think he started using steriods until he came to the yankees. Then again i dont know for sure, this is just my oppinion. But its ashame because Roger clemens was a legend and he didnt need the steroids to be great. He was ganna make the hall of fame regaurdless. But now his legacy is damaged for doing somthing that he didnt need. It really is ashame. I guess its true when they say carma will get you.

[renandstim]

I'm so sick of people saying that "Clemens did steriods because he's old and still throws 95". Well think of it this way, if Clemens did do do steriods, because he's old and still throws 95 than you can say the same about another players who are old and still threw 95. The other players names include Nolan Ryan, Curt Schillg, Randy Johnson,and Greg Maddux.

[Nykid210]

there not talkin about now there talkin about 2000-2006...all the yankees did....yankees sucks....METS!!!!!!

[funkyflights]

Yeah but what you gotta realize dude is Roger would a still been a good pitcher with or without steroids.... plus it was the evidence presented that got him in this mess... Schilling , Randy , Maddux didn't have any evidence against them ...

[renandstim]

What evidence? It's just some guy blowing his mouth. Its bullshit, Mcnamee needs money, his kid is dying. He has a history of lying to authorities so he realized he can lie about Clemens. He'll get alot of attention which will lead to money. Watch, he's gonna write a book and make tons of cash. If Clemens did, he would it of filed that defamation lawsuit. He's from Texas but he's no moron.

[funkyflights]

I"m not saying it cant be BS but both other guys Mcnamee named did in fact admit they used steroids supplied from Mcnamee ... Also didn't Petite say Roger used ? Petite from what everyone is saying is a pretty stand up guy ... Also the fact that Mcnamee supplied Rogers wife with Steroids that Roger said he knew nothing about.... I dont know man I cant say either way because you never know BUT there is things going against Roger ...

[doowopisnumber1]

Clemens should've just asmitted that he did it ans swallowed some pride. He should've said that he did it but only to keep up with all of the superstar hitters who took steroids. How was he supposed to remain successful if the hitters were cheating and getting an advantage. Look at McGwire, Sosa, Palmiero, etc. he should've said he did it to prevent all the hitters from having an advantage over him.

[R8erNation636]

Hi, Roger, I'm Chris Hanson. Why don't you take a seat?

[TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Roger really screwed up here. I have no doubt they will charge him with something.

[weedman6926]

and you cum stains talked about mike vick......

[RJN88420]

was a congressional hearing really necessary?

[omcasa21]

thats 1 ugly chairman

[TGOTaylor]

Im a yankee fan I dont think Roger Clemens is on steroids.

[187nic]

Well YANKEE FAN you are BLIND!! Don't trust your feeling Luke (taken from the star wars toltec) Maybe one day you will come around and stop worshiping people. He's got to be one of the most arrogant people I've seen though I mean Gov Spitzer was like Clemens at least inasmuch trying to seem to pure. Now he finally admits to making mistakes but he doesn't say what those mistakes are!! He must think were all like some little wide eyed kid.

[realplayer54]

The mistake he was referring to was his infidelity towards his wife.

[renandstim]

No there not because there won't discussing that.

[realplayer54]

He didn't mention his "mistakes" at this hearing. This was much later after it hit the fan about him and Mindy McCready(in her new book).

[slapshot68]

probabli not, he's sound very calm talking to congress

[roidpoleese]

clemens is a clown

pettitte told the truth, period

[yomamadontdanz]

Theres a new hall of fame for roger clemens going to open soon called the hall of dicklickers.

[Listman11]

It is official, he is now a lie and a cheat.

I wonder how those congress people who defended him feel? I love it, they are up for re-election in November. Idiots.

[crusse15]

wow you make no sense you little stupid fuck.

it doesnt matter waht athletes want to do to become more powerful. it makes the game more interesting when bonds hits home runs all the time, otherwise the game gets pretty boring.

go have fun being a roid policeman...haha oh man what a faggott

[crusse15]

why dont you shut the fuck up rroiorioirrioripplesas

baseball is baseball. they should keep politics out if the best sport out there. and your not helping.

[roidpoleese]

Fuck you crusty15

back when baseball was baseball, they did not have cheaters.

When they did, they enforced the rules. No Hall of Fame and

banned from baseball!!

[sportperson20]

Hell yea ur absouluty right baseball is the best and a bunch of fuck heads are tryin to riun it by takin steroids barry bonds sucks ass and should and will not hold the homerun record

[roidpoleese]

REPUBLICANS issue a new report? OK, so you think that the

Waxman/Davis report that led the FBI to investigate Roger for lying was based on Democratic "prosecution" of Roger? Well, the REP's were given equal time as well but chose to tell Roger how great he is, that he will go to heaven, that he has a great workout routine, and "what uniform will he

wear in the hall of fame?"...GET IT NOW?

The protecting Clemens thing must stop by these Republican crooks.

[roidpoleese]

A few MLB players have come forward and made statements

that add fuel to the fire that sparks the Rockets downfall.

He is guilty as Bush/Cheney is for invading Iraq under the

lie that Iraq had "Weapons of mass destruction".

They should both be in jail !!

[mitchapalooza8888]

well all i have to say is im almost 100% positive roger did not take steroids... Now for hgh i can not be sure but hgh does not help with athletic ability all it does is simply heal because you can clearly see in photos of him that he has not gotten a hole lot larger... so in my eyes he is still one of the greatest pitcher in the game and he still deserves to be in the hall of fame... and you all should be ashamed of urs self for jugging him so quickly

[roidpoleese]

Punk Clemens.

His kids are named after the symbol for a strikeout. (K) They all begin with the letter" K". Is that a little self absorbed?

[by2004]

clemens's wife sure looked comfortable knowing that she's lying too. unbelievable! clemens is just another meathead who thinks he's untouchable. i'm gonna laugh my head off when he goes to jail.

[slapshot68]

the odds of him goin to jail is like findig a gold coin with a million silver ones in it

[playcut2pieces]

cheaters should not be in hall of fame

[dominicanpiano]

no hall of fame for you fucking cheater!!!

[RomiEzzo]

BULLSHIT...

[coconnel51]

It is just too hard to believe Clemens - a man with so much to lose - a man whose speeches reek of "public service announcement." He alludes to the support of Bush - and other high ranking men. With such support in his corner, how can anyone believe he would ever feel compelled to tell the truth?

[187nic]

Absolutely but that what happens when you get petted and preened your whole fucking life you forget where you came from you believe your own hype and and he's so lost that he alludes to Bush and Cheney and other men like that that, just the biggest liar's in the country and maybe the world. He's really in deep shit now though. Only his biggest and most foolish fans can blind themselves to his cheating, with drugs and on his wife. Ha she doesn't even care!!

[Hockeyfan22168]

My interest in this was piqued by total surprise, and I almost wish I could have been a cynical outsider.

This is tragic. All guilty need to meet justice, but why is it making me sick to watch a man defend a career of a lifetime when no one sees his defense standing?

And how ironic is it that a repeated liar like McNamee actually has the truth on his side?

[roidpoleese]

The "lying" that everyone refers to (by Brian) was actually

protecting and holding back for the sake of the players

and himself. The Republican Burton was distorting that

situation in the hearing by saying " lies, lies, lies". Brian had

done what any other "honest" person would have done.

[Hockeyfan22168]

It's either a lie or it isn't. Even McNamee himself confirmed that he was lying.

[roidpoleese]

Cool, but Roger is lying too...and for that HE may go to jail.

And Brian will be a free man.

Check out the article that Dave Stewart speaks openly about

the Clemens situation. It was published a few days ago.

Great article about Stewart, Clemens, Bonds and baseball.

[nykspree08]

ever since pettites statement, its impossible to believe roger

[krisnyc11]

He's so deep in crap now that he can't turn back. Clemens just should have 'fessed up to his steroid use in the very beginning. He let the embarassment factor take over.

[187nic]

Good Assessment!
