OT: Roger Clemens has been a bad boy

Report: Clemens had relationship with Mindy McCready

NEW YORK (AP)—Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox ace, the Daily News reported.

Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed a long-term relationship but told the newspaper it was not sexual.

"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He’s considered her a close family friend. … He has never had a sexual relationship with her."

McCready’s lawyer, Lee Ofman, said he did not have any comment on the Daily News story.

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.

The story, which appeared on the newspaper’s Web site Sunday night and in editions Monday, quoted several people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.

The revelation could undermine Clemens’ reputation, which is central to the defamation suit the former pitcher has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major league career.

Say it ain't so, Roger. Say it ain't so!

Many country songs are based on personal experience, and many are based on hard times as well, but I don’t know if statutory rape and a banjo riff makes for Top-40 material.

“I don’t know if statutory rape and a banjo riff makes for Top-40 material.”

Dang

I really want to make a Lurlene reference right here, but I can’t remember the songs from that episode and youtube/googlingforlyrics isn’t helping.

I’ve been waiting for you to ask me this question for weeks.

But since I’m passive/aggressive, I won’t give you an answer for a few hours.

Holy Toeledo!

I did not mean that in the literal sense. I was just quoting. You know, because you asked for it and all. So, yeah….don’t get the wrong….

No, I can’t hide it any more. Kiss me you fool!

Huh? I think you've got the wrong idea

That answer I was talking about, it was always going to be “no.”

See, I’m not only passive/aggressive. I’m also a merciless tease.

Oh, I think you're the one with the wrong idea.

It was a parable. Just like Jesus used to use all of the time.

See, I’m not stupid. I’m like Jesus.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

is the statute of limitations expired on this, or can he still be brought up on charges? Figuring this girl has had a string of abusive relationships, drugs, alcohol and legal problems, there’s a good chance that this experience ruined her life.

I did the I Told You So Dance in my cubicle this morning when I read this. Congratulations! Roger Clemens is officially no better than Barry Bonds. Alleged PED use? Check. Surly attitude? Check. Extra marital relations? Check. Goddamn. At least Bonds had brains enough to diddle a legal adult as part of his widely publicized affair. A trashy, dumb ho, but still, legal.

You* can all know shut the fuck up about Bonds. Go hate Clemens.

You=the majority of nose pickers in the media and fanbases who cling to the asinine stance of Clemens somehow not being guilty of the same things Bonds is/could be.
Not anyone at McCovey Chronicles.

I saw the SI headline Clements denies reported tryst with country star and my first thought was, “I always wondered about Garth Brooks”.

Also, Clements seems to have forgotten one of the important rules for keeping out of trouble: never hire a lawyer named “Rusty”.

2008: My previous assessment may have been overly optimistic.

I'm so sick of this

this is just another volley in the back and forth mudslinging that has been going on between clemens and mcnamee since the mitchell report came out. who knows what to believe anymore. I don’t really care either way and it’s probably all lies. Of course if he did diddle her while she was 15 then he’s really an asshole. god what a jackass.

I just wish there was less coverage of all this bullshit and more about the game, the actual game, when it matters. We sitting here talkin about country singers, not the game, not the game…
