Now I know you're saying, "Manny? Ramirez? He of the iron glove and focus of a two-year old when playing the field? That Manny?" Yes, that Manny. Don't believe me?

There can only be one: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens

You know the annoying NBA playoff ads that tell us "There Can Only Be One" that we see over and over and over again? Yeah, they were cool. The first time we saw them. But what if those were made for other sports? Say baseball and using Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens?



How about football using Peyton and Eli Manning?

Nicely done, Ben and Eric.

Roger Clemens and John Daly's ex?

This whole Roger Clemens extramarital affairs story is just getting weirder. First he was with a supposed 15-year-old Mindy McCready when he was 28, and now comes a report that he has been with John Daly's ex-wife, Paulette Dean Daly. I think maybe the nickname The Rocket has more to do with what's in his pants than what's attached to his shoulder.



...when asked if she'd ever been romantically involved with Clemens, Daly told the News, "You know what, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this. I'm just going to have to say, 'No comment.'

"I know Roger. I consider him a good friend. That's all I'm comfortable saying."

So, basically The Rocket did her too, huh? Damn. Wonder how can he blame Debbie for this one?

Mindy McCready "cannot refute anything"

By now you've heard all about the alleged relationship that Roger Clemens had with singer Mindy McCready beginning with her being the same age that Miley Cyrus is now (15) and The Rocket being 28-years-old. The best part is that McCready doesn't deny any of it...

I cannot refute anything in the story.

Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time. 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.

Yeah, that's going to happen.

After the teenage McCready met Clemens at a Fort Myers bar called The Hired Hand, she returned with the Rocket to his hotel room, but there was no sex that night, sources told The News. It wasn't until later, after McCready had moved to Nashville and become a country singing star, that the relationship turned intimate.

This kind of media craziness could not have happened to a nicer guy than ole Rog. Oh, and I was wrong about McCready not denying it being the best part. Here's the best part...


Thank you, Ryan Parker.
