Roger Clemens Does Not Understand Term "Gag Order"


A federal judge warned Roger Clemens on Monday that he was getting "precariously close" to violating a gag order by verbalizing his opinion on Barry Bonds' upcoming trial on steroid allegations.

Apparently, United States District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton was unaware of the fact that the Rocket never ever shuts the hell up. Ever. The sound of his own voice is music to his ears.

Despite being told clearly last August to keep his giant mouth from opening, Clemens and his former trainer Brian McNamee gave interviews about the case last week.

Just two days after McNamee went on a radio show denouncing the accusation that he is a "rat," the Rocket told ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike that he's excited to defend himself:

"We’ve had to take it on the chin a little bit, but we’ll have our chance to talk... The thing that’s most upsetting is the people who were hurt on the fringe. I told them to go out there and investigate whoever they’ve got to investigate, and they’ve ruined some people’s businesses."

Furthermore, Clemens revealed that he and Andy Pettitte are no longer pals. Weird... I guess that's what happens when someone is supposed to testify against you in front of a federal grand jury this July when he goes to trial for perjury.

The two were accused of using performance-enhancing drugs in the infamous Mitchell Report from back in December of 2007. While Clemens denied the allegations until last year, Pettitte not only admitted he used human growth hormone, but said that his buddy Roger did as well.

I've been doing my best to enforce a gag order I imposed on myself to not comment on BLB about the Bonds trial.
But for this, I'll make an exception... Someone needs to throw a baseball at Roger's head to maybe try to de-stupid him.

I can't wait until the media spotlight burns out on him. What a turd.
