No Charity

A charity dumps Roger Clemens:

Although Clemens helped raise millions of dollars for charities associated with the event, the Giff Nielsen Day of Golf for Kids was held Nov. 11 at Houston's Shadow Hawk Golf Club without him.

"Roger Clemens is no longer affiliated with the tournament," said Nielsen, a Houston broadcaster. "We decided we would go our separate ways until his off-field stuff is settled.

"I approached him, and as we talked, we reached a mutual agreement that we would put our relationship on hold. He was good about it. He said 'I agree with the decision."'

It's amazing how far Roger has fallen. He either should have kept his mouth shut after the Mitchell report, or come completely clean and asked forgiveness. He's taken a path that just dragged him down.

Or Clemens shouldn't have used as a trainer a crooked ex-cop who likes to keep bandages and gauze in a tin can for five years.

Congress will try to investigate and charge Clemens with perjury, while they all lied to us about their role in a trillion dollar economic ponzi scheme. You can lie while you are in Congress, you just can't lie to Congress.

Bob Tufts,

Railing on the Congress doesn't absolve Clemens of any blame. One wrong doesn't make another right. And so far all that Clemens has done only serves to make him like a culprit. The fact that Congress is full of grandstanding hypocrites doesn't take away from Clemens' guilt.

It's good to see these cheaters banished from respectable society. Anybody seen Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire lately? Hope it was worth it guys.
