Clemens also gave him many opportunities to contradict him and claim he DID inject him with steroids, and he never did, instead offering to "go to jail." It wasn't definitive, but it sure made Clemens seem more credible.Gritsforbreakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152152869466958902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30006675188306177072008-01-07T17:45:00.000-06:002008-01-07T17:45:00.000-06:00Grits, have you heard this new stuff - the taped p...Grits, have you heard this new stuff - the taped phone conversation and the press conference? What do you think?<BR/><BR/>That was some intense phone talk. It sure came off like McNamee was under unbelievable pressure from the feds to name Clemens, with a dying son in the backdrop.<BR/><BR/>Bill B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-32655783167322374522008-01-07T12:58:00.001-06:002008-01-07T12:58:00.001-06:00Yeah, but he was offered the chance to go speak wi...Yeah, but he was offered the chance to go speak with him but declined. Sounds like buyer's remorse if you ask me. Just because he didn't know until later that he was going to be included is no excuse if you ask me.<BR/><BR/>You intimated at one point that he was the main target of the snitch, which is what made the snitch even less reliable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-60008963882887531832008-01-07T12:58:00.000-06:002008-01-07T12:58:00.000-06:00If I were Clemens, I wouldn't give those idiot con...If I were Clemens, I wouldn't give those idiot congressmen the time of the day. Put those sumbitches under oath and ask each about their illegal drug use.
