THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Clemens should look at self in mirror for blame
By Jared Shanker
THERE weren't many people who
bought Roger Clemens' testimony
in front of Congress two years ago
Even fewer do now.
But not a single one Of
those opinions carried any
weight, merely just
around-the-water-cooler
fodder for slow Monday
mornings at the office. The
only opinion that matters
is that of a federal grand
jury's, and last week, the
jury became the newest
member of the Clemens
is-a-stinkin'-liar bandwagon, a bandwagon
with enough people to fill the Guatemalan
sinkhole.
On Thursday, the grand jury handed
Clemens a series of indictments on
charges that he lied to Congress by deny
ing his use of performance-enhancing
drugs during a Feb. 2008 hearing in front
of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform. The charges: three
counts of making false statements, two
counts of perjury and one count of obstruc
tion of Congress.
The last of those charges hits harder
than a Clemens fastball to the head. (Mike
Piazza is surely smiling somewhere.)
Obstruction of Congress.
This isn't the man who flooded the Gulf
of Mexico with oil or decided to announce
on national television that he's taking his

basketball talents to South Beach
The man affectionately known as "The
Rocket" for 24 MLB seasons is public
enemy No. 1 in sports right now some
how managing to take that title away from
Leßron James for allegedly taking per
formance-enhancing drugs. His lying
made it all the way to the top, far enough
that it reached Congress.
And he has nobody to blame but himself.
The saga began when Clemens went on
a warpath to clear his name after being
mentioned extensively in the Mitchell
Report, the Bud Selig craftwork to finally
bring the sport's darkest time into the
light.
In a move that would have made Kmg
Leonidas proud, Clemens stood his ground
in front of Capitol Hill's army of politicians,
volunteering to speak before the commit
tee.
MY OPINION
In Washington, Clemens vehemently
denied the accusations of his former train
er Brian McNamee, who testified that he
had injected the seven-time Cy Young
Award winner with human growth hor
mone (HGH) and had the bloody gauze
and needles to prove it. Without the same
venom he spit at McNamee, Clemens soft
ened his anger toward longtime teammate
and friend Andy Pettitte, saying Pettitte
"misremembers" (no, that isn't a word) a
past conversation about Clemens' HGH
use.
The evidence is mounting, if not over
whelming, against Clemens, yet he says he
couldn't be happier. He even rejected a

plea bargain that would have forced
Clemens to admit his use.
"Roger is looking forward to his day in
court," Clemens' lawyer Rusty Hardin said
at a news conference last week. "He is
happy this has finally happened. We have
known for some time this was going to
happen. We'll let everything get taken care
of in court."
Unless the Clemens camp has a red-hot
star witness under wraps to deny the testi
monies of McNamee and Pettitte, it looks
like Clemens will be spending part of his
retirement locked up in a federal prison. If
given the maximum sentence on all
charges, Clemens would receive 30 years,
but the more likely scenario seems to be
12 to 18 months.
At this point, there doesn't seem like
there is much reason for Clemens to con
tinue his march toward redemption. His
baseball reputation is beyond repair, and
he'll forever be labeled a cheater in the
public eye. Already a long shot Hall of
Famer, even if he is cleared in the case, it
is still unlikely he would garner the
required 75 percent of votes needed for
entrance.
Known as one of the fiercest competi
tors around and with a mean streak worse
than that of a Longhorn, the emblem he
donned for two All-American seasons at
the University of Texas in 1982 and 'B3, it's
time for Clemens to wave the white flag
and drop the charade. With a plea bargain,
Clemens can take it on the chin for a week
instead of a year and then settle into base-

ball's abyss with other disgraced players
Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa and Gary
Sheffield.
Miguel Tejada, still playing in the
majors, pleaded guilty to perjury and
received just one year of probation. That
would seem to be Clemens' best option,
but he just continues to keep his / foot on
the gas, blowing any and all stop signs and
red lights from his attorneys, friends and
even Congressmen.
By keeping his name in newspaper and
Internet headlines across the country and
dragging this out into trial, Clemens is
jumping in front of the firing squad aimed
squarely at Barry Bonds, who will go on
trial for making false statements to a
grand jury in March. Clemens could end
all of this now and let Bonds be the final
and most notorious fall guy for baseball's
steroids era.
Instead, Clemens will take Bonds' spot
as the sole focus of the scandal again,
relieving Bonds of public scrutiny once
more.
Clemens has chosen to sit across from a
judge and jury sometime over the next 18
months and once again appeal that,
despite all the testimonies, bloody gauze,
needles and empty steroids bottles, he is
the one telling the truth.
He will lose. And he has nobody to
blame but himself.
