Squeezing blood from a rock(et)




Yesterday I read the news that former trainer Brian McNamee coughed up evidence of Roger Clemens using steroids. He did this in the form of used syringes, bloody gauze and an empty Miller Lite can (the beer choice is the most disgusting). I immediately thought, WTF was this guy doing saving these things? 1 nanosecond later it hit me, blackmail. This guy was seeing dollar signs from the getgo. He was waiting for just the right moment to spring his money maker into action. When Clemens denied claims in the Mitchell report, he jumped up, gave ol' Roger a call and said give me a pile of money and I won't say anything. Roger balked, and here we are. The prick even has the audacity to say he "felt guilty" and knew one day "it would become a scandal." I'm not saying the Rocket was right in what he did, but two wrongs don't make a right, and McNamee is a money grubbing weasel.
