Daddy’s a Hot Stud: Another Roger Clemens Affair

That shirt! Those pants! That tongue! Apparently the ladies can’t get enough of Roger Clemens. Do you blame them? That print velour shirt is totally making me want to leave my husband and round the bases with Roger, if you know what I mean. Either that or I will have enough fabric to redo my couch and my loveseat.

Roger’s affair with a 15-year-old Mindy McCready recently came to light, and now the New York Daily News is reporting that he also had an affair with Paulette Dean Daly, former wife of PGA golfer John Daly. Clemens, a married father of four, reportedly arranged trips to Anaheim Stadium for Daly to watch him pitch for the Yankees against the Angels. He also apparently bought her some nachos and one of those big foam fingers. I just made that last part up.

Who’s next? Dear God, please don’t let it be Cher.

It's True: Mindy McCready Admits to Underage Affair with Roger Clemens

Whit Honea — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:23:00 GMT

The Rocket is having a tough time. What do you suppose is worse, being accused of steroid use during a legendary baseball career or being caught lying about having an affair with a minor?

That's a tough call. Both involve moral and legal issues. Granted, the steroid issue is being contested and the case against him does look overly staged, but to have Mindy McCready, the country singer identified as Clemen's mistress for over 10 years, admit that she "cannot refute anything in the story," well, you can't come back from that.

We've explained previously how Clemens, father of four boys, and McCready, mother of a two-year-old son, met when she was 15. This doesn't hold well for Clemens.

Is that an understatement?

Roger Clemens Affair With a 15-Year-Old Mindy McCready

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:20:00 GMT

Former Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens reportedly had a decade-long affair with troubled country music star Mindy McCready, beginning when the singer was just 15. The affair began when McCready was a teenager working in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old married father of two. The baseball star admits to having a long-term relationship with McCready, but through his lawyer says the relationship was "not sexual." Okay.

The Daily News, which broke the story, claimed McCready frequently accompanied Clemens to his games and partied with him with the likes of Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jordan. The tabloid claims the singer even hid declarations of love to Clemens in the liner notes of her albums.

McCready has had a string of legal problems in the past few years including arrests for drug possession, identity theft and battery. Clemens is having his own problems; he's currently under investigation for perjury for his testimony to Congress regarding his alleged steroid use.

Clemens has four sons and McCready has a two-year old son - looks like they'll have plenty of stories to tell their kids, beyond the Grand Ole Opry and grand slams...

The Mitchell Report: Baseball, Dads and Steroids

Whit Honea — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 20:00:00 GMT

The Mitchell Report was released today. It is the findings of an investigation by George Mitchell into the steroid use of major league baseball players. There are lots of names on the list, 77, and many of them are fathers. That's why you're reading about this on FameCrawler.

I have a problem with the report for a number of reasons, among them it relies almost exclusively on the plea-bargained testimony of just a few men and it was conducted by an ex-Senator, which means the guy is most likely an idiot, who is also part of the Boston Red Sox management team. Guess how many prominent Red Sox players are mentioned? None. I find it hard to believe that those unshaven cowboys in Boston are the only pure of heart players in all of baseball.

What does my opinion mean? Not much, other than the fact that I'm not alone in such thought and that baseball should have considered it. They've allowed many a loophole for players named, guilty or not, to avoid penalty or scrutiny and have instead provided the opportunity for MLB to get a big black eye. We shall see how it plays out.

Among the players named: Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees, Miguel Tejada of the Houston Astros, Eric Gagne of the Milwaukee Brewers and Paul Lo Duca of the Washington Nationals, Barry Bonds, Kevin Brown, Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa and the late Ken Caminiti.

Apparently the players were giving an opportunity to explain themselves to Mitchell prior to the release, but only Jason Giambi did so.

This could have huge implications for the game and everyone involved. I'm guessing Mitchell isn't the only idiot in this post (not counting me).
