Clemens: My Wife Took Steroids But I Didn’t, YAH RIGHT!

The most hilarious thing from the hearing taking place with Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee today came from Roger Clemens, he said his wife took steroids, but he hasn’t. LAUGH OUT LOUD! What a kind of a man sells out his own wife? Roger clemens keeps on waving his tongue around like he is on drugs right now. My mom works at a nursing home, I know how people react to drugs, he’s more than licking his lips, he’s waving his tongue, like he is still feeling the effects from steroids. That and/or he is incredibly nervous, you can see him backtrack, stutter, fumble his words, all while looking dumbfounded. Meanwhile his two very devilish lawyers sit in the background and whisper in his ear every other second.

It’s clear that dodging the issues is their main concern. I would be willing to believe Clemens never took steroids if he had come without so much counsel. It is clear that he has and never had any clear intention of telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If he did he wouldn’t need someone whispering in his ear the answer to every question that he is asked. If you look at McNamee he directly answers the question without any nervousness and no help from his lawyers.

Knobluach and Pettite both say that McNamee is correct that yes he gave them steroids, do you think for a minute that McNamee is some kind of vindictive person that just threw Clemens in the mix for fun? No, witnesses agree McNamee is correct. A congressman with narcotics experience  questioning Clemens said it himself, McNamee has behaved exactly like a drug dealer does, giving as little information as possible until he is forced to turn over to save himself. This same congressman said that he’s dissapointed that Knoblauch and Pettitte are not there today, because if you read their under oath depositions, their statements are “fairly devastating” to Roger. Those depositions will be made public and I encourage everyone to read them, they substantiate my claim that Clemens is a huge liar.

 Clemens is clearly lying. Anyone that believes Clemens didn’t juice up is doing a disservice to young athletes and contributing to a culture of drug abuse. ‘My wife took steroids but I didn’t’. LAUGH OUT LOUD!

New Ghost Site In Development

Some of my posts are related to ghost hunting type shows. Given my interest in the realm of the paranormal has it relates to ghosts, I am developing a website devoted only to that subject. Just in the development stages, it will be a little while before it’s up and running. If anyone has any true personal ghost or paranormal stories/photos that you would like to share that would be great. E-mail me at edtajchman@gmail.com.

Jay Mariotti is a Fool, and So is Anybody Else Supporting Clemens

I have to comment on this issue again, after watching ESPN’s Around the Horn today. All the other panelists agreed that the new supposed evidence from Clemens’ former trainer Brian McNamee (syringes with Clemens’ blood) has the potential to send Clemens to jail if he’s not careful about what he says to congress. Jay Mariotti was the only one defending Clemens, so much so, and so fervently, I was honestly wondering if he had taken steroids that day, the way the vein was pumping in his head. He kept saying, ‘a medical expert will tell you that you can’t date blood evidence.’ WHO CARES! last time I checked Clemens played all the way through last year, and if his DNA can be identified in one of those syringes with any kind of steroid, then Clemens is going to jail! DNA evidence doesn’t lie, who cares about where or when it came from? D – N – A Mariotti, ever heard of it? If it’s Clemens’ with a steroid he’s done. How is that evidence questionable if it’s true? Answer – it’s not, DNA evidence closes the book in any case where it can be identified, period. To think otherwise is simply being a fool, and today it’s Mariotti playing that part, and I had a very good laugh over his comments. Seriously though, it is time to take a stand and send a positive message to young athletes about the way they should take care of their bodies, and the way you be a true sportsman. I get sick of comments like Mariotti’s that are clearly an effort to hide and ignore the facts.

How is Obama Winning? Hillary Takes California Substantially, and More Delegates!

Has coverage closes on super Tuesday, here are my thoughts; First, let me say I would be happy with either Obama or Hillary. Some news analysts are saying Obama has almost knocked out Hillary…? (All the MSNBC analysts except Tim Russert.) Well no not really, Hillary has more delegates, and a conservative estimate says she is going to end the day with about 50-150 more delegates than Barack. Current numbers in California point to her crushing him there, so she takes California, and New York. It’s her on the verge of a knockout, not Obama.

Are people so eager for this supposed change that Barack is offering that they ignore the facts? I am not sure if he knows how to fight to get things done. I don’t want to take away from him, but I am honestly not sure, there is no proof in his record. Hillary we know will get down in the trenches and fight tooth and nail for us, can you honestly say that you know that about Barack?

Frankly, I see the biggest change that we could make, would be electing a woman president! I know Oprah supports Barack, but if she were running I would vote for her! Any woman is better than another version of male politics. Let’s make a real change this election.

Giants Win the Game! Manning Brothers Win Back-to-Back Super Bowls!

Leading the Giants down the field with less than two minutes to go, Eli Manning looked like he was going down in the backfield, somehow manages to get away and launches a beautiful pass to David Tyree, who caught the ball over his head falling backward and hangs onto it. Beautiful, football at it’s best, one of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen, unbelievable! Moments later a floater to Plaxico and the Giants go up 17-14. The Giants are Super Bowl 42 champions! A great sports moment and a game that will go down in NFL history.

The Patriots didn’t deserve to win, and America wasn’t behind them. In a year that started with spy-gate, and ends with the Patriots pre-printing ‘undefeated Super Bowl champs’ books, how could anyone be rooting for them? The lesson of being humble learned from spy-gate I guess was lost on them this week, has they mistook Phoenix for Hollywood. The whole game Patriot players are talkin’ smack and acting over-the-top cocky. The Giants were calm, cool, collected, and let their play do the talking, while remaining focused.

In your face Tiki Barber! ‘Eli Manning is not a leader’, that’s what you said. Well, who was sitting home watching the Giants win the Super Bowl? YOU! Haha! A year after you retire, I guess you’re just a cheap- talking jealous loser. Brandon Jacobs is better than you any day of the week. Eli getting the props he deserves aside, seeing Tom Brady’s face hit the dirt like 10 times was awsome. By the end of the game even my girlfriend said Brady looked shaky and scared. You have to give credit to the Giants defense, who beat down Brady and the rest of the Patriots the whole game.

From a luxury suite, Peyton Manning was sweating and pumping his fists with the rest of us, has Plaxico caught the game-winning touchdown pass. That’s the real story here, the Manning brothers are starting quarterbacks for back-to-back Super Bowl champions. Eli not only sheds his brother’s shadow but shatters it, and Peyton couldn’t be happier for him. THAT is the real story, not an overconfident smack talkin’ cheating team that the Patriots are. Plaxico in an interview shortly after game, sheds a tear and thanks God, while talking to the reporter; how could you not want this team to win? New York; congratulations, you earned it! Tom Coughlin had his team obviously more mentally prepared then the Patriots were.

Oh, and also, the best commercial was the one when all the animals and the squirrel were screaming because they thought the squirrel was going to be run over but the car had good turning, so he didn’t get squished.
