Cold Omaha believes McNamee

With so many people calling and emailing us asking where we stand on the Clemens issue, we thought we needed to take a stand. We weren’t going to get into this because its depressing and we think there are a few things our politicians should be paying attention to other than juiced up athletes. But you wanted it, so here it goes.

Someone lied yesterday at the congressional hearings and we don’t think it was Brian McNamee.

Forget all the testimony, the evidence that may or may not be there, and just consider for a moment that Clemens pretty much bottomed-out in Boston back in 1996.

A year later, his career all of a sudden had an enormous resurgence at a time when he was beyond his pitching prime. For the next ten years, people speculated that Clemens might have been using something… steroids, HGH… something to get himself in the best shape of his life and to stay so powerful so far beyond the normal “prime years” for a pitcher.

A few years later, Clemens’ wife and his teammate/good friend Andy Pettitte admit to using HGH, but Clemens wasn’t doing it. Somehow his wife and his friend took HGH during that same time frame that Clemens looked and acted like he was doing it, yet he had no knowledge of his wife or friends use? Clemens didn’t take HGH, but he somehow got all the benefits of taking it -- resurrecting his career, building a hall of fame resume… all the while staying clean?

It’s either a miracle, an unbelievable coincidence, or he’s lying.

We think he’s lying.
