Media missing some big pieces here!

I have been watching the media coverage and there are a couple of big things I have heard NO ONE say that makes me believe Roger Clemens is a dirtbag:

We need to really look at the timelines on this Roger v. Andy exchange! Roger claims that in 1999 or 2000 he did discuss HGH with Andy, but Pettitte has it wrong; Roger was talking about his wife and not himself taking HGH.

1) Sports Illustrated was in 2003. So Mrs. Clemens was taking HGH 3 years in advance for a photo shoot that even SI had not even thought of yet!!!!!! EDIT -- ESPN is reporting that in 2000, Clemens was talking about a TV show with "3 old people" that benefitted from HGH. It was in 2005 that he was talking about his wife. So Andy misheard BOTH times. . . This fixes the timeline issue, but seems to really strain creditability! Edit 2 == McNamee's lawyer was on Mike and Mike this morning saying I was right about the my original objection. Edit 3 ==
It was depositionS: Roger wants us to believe that both Mr and Mrs Pettitte heard and remember wrong.


2) Clemens deposition was last week. So, over the weekend when he was calling McNamee names for dragging his wife into it, he had already done so!!!!

Survey says: Dirtbag: world class!!!!

Lou Holtz = Genius and nice guy!!!

I got a chance to meet Lou Holtz last September. This was the week before the Notre Dame v. Michigan match-up. Besides being a truly nice and great guy, Lou made a couple of predictions. Thought I would post them here fore review:

1) Michigan will NOT fire Lloyd Carr and will not force him out. He will finish the season and then retire.

2) Tim Tebow will win the Heismann. At that time, no was was talking about him; Sports Illustrated did not even include him in their pre-season predictions.

Great guy and great football mind! Thanks for the fun Lou!
