Is anybody else watching? I'm not a big fan of Clemens, but McNamee's credibility sure looks suspect. |

I completely disagree. MacNamee is coming across as credible. On the other hand, Clemens is coming across as a stumbling, evasive, lying idiot. |

If Clemens had not been so vocal about his innocence, it would be sad to see conclusive evidence against him, but now it would be comical. |

Clemens is lying...is guilty..and will do jail time. I see John Rocker says that selig knew he was on the juice...and while with Texas...he, Ivan and A-Rod, and Rafael Palmeiro were counceled on how to safely use steroids. |

Clemens just stated that he ran home from school (2 miles) everyday as a kid. No mention of "in the snow." |

I don't think the committee broke out along party lines, with Republicans favoring Clemens and Democrats favoring MacNamee. There were two congressman who really went after MacNamee, and I beleive they were both Republicans, but their grandstanding was actually a little embarassing. Mark Souder (Republican) was really harsh on Clemens and on baseball, generally, and pretty soft on MacNamee. I think, on the whole, both sides appeared to lean towards MacNamee's version of the facts. |

Dan Burton of Indiana should just flat out be embarrassed for making such a jackass out of himself. Not nearly as embarrassing as Christopher Shays questioning Bud Selig, but still pretty bad. |

This may just be me, but who cares if he did or didn't. I think the interesting point that seems to be passed over is that HGH and the other steroids are not like a can of spinach to Popeye. All of these ball players have a level of skill that when coupled with hard work, takes them to the professional level. That being said, sure the steroids and HGH give an advantage, but is it really that big of a deal? It's illegal, sure, but worthy of a house oversight committee hearing? I would think that tax-payers money would be better served in other arenas. Is Clemens a cheater, probably by those standards, is it worthy the keg barrel reaction, I don't think so. |

Brian -- in one sense you're absolutely correct -- we have bigger fish to fry, and Congress has bigger problems (few of which they appear able or willing to solve). |

President Bush made steroid use in sports a priority in his state of the union address in his first few years in office. There are a lot of members of congress and they work on all kinds of things...nothing is getting ignored because they are spending some time grilling Clemens and McNamee. And because some of the congressmen/women asking questions seem to be ill informed I would say that some of them aren't spending any time on the issue. I somewhat agree that they have better things to do, but it took congressional hearings to get baseball to clean itself up. Without them they would still be looking the other way while a good portion of their workforce is shooting up controlled substances. |

Jason, there is more than enough evidence to indict Clemens for perjury -- Pettite and his wife alone are enough. Physical evidence is not necessary -- in fact I'm in the middle of a trial now in which my client is being accused of all sorts of bad things coming solely from the mouths of admitted liars and criminals. In America people are indicted and convicted with the sort of evidence facing Clemens now. |

Steroid use sure is a big deal to me, one that does warrant Congressional oversight. Professional atheletes serve as role models to our youth. How would you feel if you had a son whose justification for taking the stuff was that all these star ballplayers are on it and they look to be in perfect health. Then after you insist he go off it you find a few weeks later he committed suicide because of the sudden drop in hormonal level? Or suppose instead of killing himself, he drops dead of a heart attack when he's 35, an attack nobody can say wasn't brought on by his earlier steriod use? Or suppose instead of a heart attack he develops cancer? That picture paints the tragedy of what PEDs have brought on. And to me this is one area of drug abuse where the users (professional athletes) are as bad as the pushers because it is the USERS who are inducing our youth to use it. So all these arguments that we are wasting Congress's time going after the ballplayers-users I believe are wrong. We should go after them and nail them to the cross if found guilty, not because of tainting hollowed baseball records, but because of causing young Americans to die. |

Somehow I can't accept that these folks trying to deal with this sorry mess is anywhere close to a reasonable use of our tax dollars or I guess I should say hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars. |

I spent much of my career in legislation, representing the interests of the Department of Justice, and later the federal judiciary, before the Congress. In that capacity, I worked with both members and staff and attended a boatload of congressional hearings. |

It is obvious to me that MLB can't, or wouldn't, handle its drug problems by its lonesome. In fact, it was the 2005 Congressional hearings that lead to the current, though meager drug tests and punishments. I'm confident the Players Union would not have agreed to any testing or punishment if it hadn't been for the Congressional intervention. |

You may be right, David. Perhaps naive of me to think that MLB has the authority and incentive to meet the problem; I honestly don't know. |
