He should have taken the same road as Pettitte, but his ego is too large. The guy is committing perjury and he better pay for it... just like Bonds should. The two of them were Hall of Famer's before they started enhancing and it is too bad they did. They forever tarnished their legacy, not by doing it, but denying it while many of their peers are admitting their transgressions, apologizing, asking for forgiveness, and moving on.

He has shown is true self. Which is a self absorbed, arrogant, priviledged indivdual who has always gotten his way and who thought that people would believe him because he is Roger Clemens dammit. Now he has lost more than his "good name". He lost the adoration and fawning of his public. Most of it at least. There are still those who believe him and will continue to suck up to him and tell him he looked good in the hearing and came out on top. There will always be those enablers. But I think he will end up more like Mark McGuire and will fade away into oblivion where someone like him belongs. Ed, you are right Clemens by trying to clear his name, made it so much worse.

And I think the writers will remember that when it comes time to vote-5 years from whenever he retires-which I think will be this season, unless the BFL decides he has something else to prove. On the other hand, I though his former BFF, Andy Pettitte, handled himself with honesty, and all of the class that Clemens lacked, at his press conference in FLA. I think his definition of cheater is a bit flawed, but at least he acknowledges his actions. It doesn’t really matta’…because if I recall correctly, he doesn’t give a ratzass about the HOF!
