Mr. Having-It-Both-Ways...

or, Free Barry!

Because I just don't see how, in good faith, you can prosecute Barry Bonds for perjury and allow Roger Clemens a free pass. Either it's both, or it should be neither at this point. (and I think most would vote for the latter. If baseball at the time quietly condoned it, and it's human nature to shake your finger and deny, let's all move on already?)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Roger Clemens' lawyer was told a photograph exists that shows the pitcher at a party hosted by Jose Canseco, an issue that was disputed in Congress this month.

A June 1998 party at Canseco's house in Florida was one of several topics discussed during Clemens' testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Feb. 13.

Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, said the seven-time Cy Young Award winner was at the party. Clemens denied being there when he gave a deposition to congressional investigators on Feb. 5, then testified eight days later that it was possible he could have stopped by after playing golf.

In the Mitchell Report on doping in baseball, released in December, McNamee alleged that Clemens spoke with Canseco at the barbecue and soon after approached the trainer about using performance-enhancing drugs.

McNamee said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone at least 16 times, possibly more, between 1998 and 2001. Clemens has vehemently denied those accusations several times, including under oath before Congress.

Congress is deciding whether to ask the Justice Department to investigate the contradictory testimony given by Clemens and McNamee under oath.

Now Bill Belichick's alleged cheating, I wouldn't be so quick to let that pass. Imo, he really shouldn't be allowed to coach again, as more and more evidence comes out proving the allegations true... (and I'm not even a Rams fan, or a Vegas bettor who lost on that game... and others, but there's nothing at all to show that "everybody in the sport was doing it". And if the charges prove true, his is not really a victimless crime... Plus, they said Barry's actions and demeanor made him unlikeable?!? If that's the distinguishing factor, Belichick really takes the cake...)
