Clemens Admits Some "Flaws" and "Mistakes"
Roger Clemens issued another statement, in the wake of McCready-gate, admitting some mistakes but denying his affair with country singer Mindy McCready started when she was 15. Clemens told the Houston Chronicle:
"I know that many people want to know what I have to say about the recent articles in the media. Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right."However, Clemens categorically denies that his relationship with McCready started when she was 15, "Nothing could be further from the truth. This relationship has been twisted and distorted far beyond reality." Where that puts McCready's tacit confirmation that the initial Daily News story saying as much, who knows, but Clemens also made sure to add these admissions of wrongdoing do not include HGH use.
Clemens' misdeeds are coming to light because of his defamation suit against former trainer Brian McNamee, who said the pitching ace used steroids. McNamee's lawyer Richard Emery says the player's less-than-squeaky clean behavior will take center stage if the suit isn't dropped, "As we say in my business, it'll be a s--- show."
And another source told the Daily News that Clemens "had chicks stashed in every city - like every athlete, you play golf, you go get drunk and [have sex]. In some ways, it's a lonely life."

what a piece of shit this guy is turning out to be.
If Mindy was 15 that's important. If he used steroids, that's important. Everything else is dirty news gossip for people with nothing better to do but cast the first stone.
It isn't our business if he had a girl in every city. It isn't our business if he had a girl, a guy and a blow-up doll. It's the fact that he gets paid a fortune to play a kids game that he should be strung up by the balls.
where's his fellow republican jesus freaks?
...and he's a fucking liar too.
of course he's a piece of shit. First of all he's from texas AND Boston.
Bet that decision to go to war with McNamee and his people is looking really good right now.
Here's a tip, kids: Don't take on a NYC cop and an NYC lawyer with an attorney named Rusty.
Sadly, there's probably a lot of stuff that people could turn up against any pro athlete. So you would think that these guys would step a little more lightly when something threatens to come to the surface.
The guy was never a saint, but this is becoming really disappointing.
(have sex) Clemens.
