Clemens was better at age 41 than he was at age 31, or even 21. If you think he was clean you're delusional.

Can you show me evidence? Nolan was pretty good at that age ......
He was found not guilty your right . But he was found not guilty of lying about taking Peds if they had anything on him they would have proven he lyed and would have been found him guilty .

I think Manning's a first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. BUT.....when I heard him talking about the situation and he said that maybe his wife had a different regiment than he did, it sounded kind of fishy. It was an odd statement......

The thing that gets me most is that NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, etc would all be considered much better news sources for such a story, so why didn't he go to them? If he wanted the story to be taken seriously, I would have thought he'd use what would be perceived as a more reliable source--whether that's really the case or not, the perception in the USA of Al Jazeera is not like a Pulitzer factory or anything...........

How do you prove someone lied based on what they're accused of lying of? Obviously if they had anything on him, the results would have been different. The unfortunate truth was all they had was, in the end, hearsay. From extremely credible sources, but hearsay nonetheless. Roger did a good job covering his tracks and had great lawyers. If they had something on OJ they would've proved he lied too.
