Opinions Are Split On Clemens' Performance

While everyone has an opinion of yesterday’s four-hour-plus hearing before the U.S. House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform, most people do not have a clear sense of what is next. Committee members could not conclude who was telling the truth between Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee. Now, most eyes rest on possible action by the Department of Justice or from a team of federal agents who have been working on the BALCO investigation. Some questions: Why did the questioning break upon party lines? Was Clemens’ strategy faulty from the start? And is Congress’ probe of MLB’s drug policy and implementation finally over? Oh yeah, we have some of our greatest hits from the day.
