Mindy McCready: Yes, I Had Affair with Roger Clemens

2008_04_mindmcc.jpgCountry singer Mindy McCready tearfully admitted to the Daily News that their story about her alleged 10-year affair with pitcher Roger Clemens was true. She said, "I cannot refute anything in the story."

Although it's not exactly clear when they started their affair--yesterday's article suggested McCready could have been as young as 15 when they started dating--today's article says they didn't start an "intimate" relationship until McCready was a star (and presumably of age). McCready read a prepared statement to the News:

Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," McCready said, reading from a prepared statement. "He's a kind and caring man. He's also a legendary athlete. The central topic in the debate, however, regards his professional life, not his personal life.

"There are legal matters working their way through the system that have nothing to do with me. From my point of view, that is where the focus should remain."

Those legal doings are because Clemens has sued his former trainer Brian McNamee for defamation.

A lawyer for McNamee, who said he injected the 7-time Cy Young winner with steroids, says if the defamation case isn't dimissed, McCready will be called as a witness. Lawyer Brian Emery said, "The point is whether he was damaged by the allegations that he used steroids - he claims he was hurt. But if there are other women - and there's not just one case, but many - and he holds himself out as a family man and an American paradigm, it's relevant...None of this would have been revealed but for his lawsuit and sanctimonious testimony before Congress."

I've always hated roger clemens ever since he left the red sox and I'm a Yankees fan so he deserves this as much as anything.

Two things are regarding Clemens are clear:

1. He loves to cheat
2. He like illegal injections

i'm starting to think clemens is a liar...

I had to Google this woman to find out who she is. Sounds like she has or had a serious drug problem, abusive relationships, and lousy parents.

I am most angry that Clemens thinks he's an American paradigm.

what does "affair" mean?
did clemens put his "wee-wee" in her "woo-woo"?
what do these words mean?
why am i even reading about this????

Is this person famous or something. Oh, wait, it says that Mindy McCready is a "country singer" which explains why nobody has heard of her.

If all these people would just STFU there'd be no drama. Unless, of course, that's what they're after.

Who fell worse: Spitzer or Clemens?

"Who fell worse: Spitzer or Clemens?"

Well since there's never been a debate about whether or not Spitzer was the best governor of all time, I'd have to say it's Roger in a landslide.

And all this time I thought they called him Rocket because he throws really hard...

Oh, also, I think you got the title wrong. The caption should read:

"Mindy McCready: Yes, I Would Appreciate Free Media Coverage So I Can Save My Shambles of a Career"

Does this mean he has to give back his Super Bowl ring?

What else isn't Clemens doing the truth about? Does he have any weird fetishes like Spitzer had?

i think it doesn't matter because all he does is play baseball for a living. kind of stupid? yeah kind of stupid.

who fell worse? let's see, Spitzer had the power to throw your ass in jail and have people beat the living shit out of you if he wanted. Roger Clemens had the power of throwing a 90 mile per hour fastball really hard.

Every guy blogging this post would bang this broad in a heartbeat.
