Linda Tripp Played for the Yankees?

Today, fresh off of his 60 Minutes interview with the crypt keeper Mike Wallace, Roger Clemens called a press conference as he continued to refute the allegations made in themike wallace clemensMitchell Report by his former trainer of ten years, Brian McNamee. Clemens pulled a Bill Parcells move as he tried to bully the media just like he did so many times on the mound. Both last night, and this afternoon, Clemens repeatedly got hostile in defending himself which may be warranted but is contuining to hurt his credibility as he whines. He has been sounding more and more like Kelso from That 70s Show trying to get back together with Jackie Burkhart. Sometimes you need to take the high road no matter the circumstances. This bitch fest of a press conference took one giant leap to becoming infamous as Clemens elected to play a taped phone conversation he had with his accuser. This recording including a discussion of McNamee’s ill son as well as one awkward exchange that included McNamee asking Clemens what he wanted him to do. I just can’t believe a tough guy like Roger Clemens resorted to pulling the same tactics as Linda Tripp did in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. No more Rocket, now it’s just Tripp.
