Things people hate

One thing that always gets on my nerve is when someone shamelessly lies despite the fact that no one believes them. The person who signifies that most in sports at the moment is Roger Clemens. Let's review, not too long ago Clemens was named in the Mitchell Report to the shock of no one that paid attention to baseball. He had long been rumored to have taken them at some point in his career (coughTorontocough). Clemens has insisted that his former trainer Brian McNamee has been lying. This is despite the fact that among other things McNamee also named Andy Pettitte who later confessed, McNamee gave much more specific dates and times of when he injected McNamee. Throw in the fact that almost every other single player in the Mitchell Report other than Clemens has admitted to their mistakes and it's becoming farcical to suggest that Clemens is somehow the only innocent man out of 160+. Now word has come out that McNamee has turned over DNA samples to Congress. While it is disturbing to think that someone kept another man's blood for 8 years, it doesn't change the fact that this is basically check mate for Clemens. If Clemens continues to deny the obvious, he is only fooling himself.
