Deadspin
Mindy McCready, the "troubled" country singer who admitted she had some sort of relationship with Roger Clemens that would probably not be copasetic with Debbie Clemens, is also trying to revinvigorate her stalled country singing career with a new album, reality show, etc. Granted, plenty of other women have been unearthed by the New York Daily News, who've said they've also been part of Roger's bodacious bullpen, but McCready's seemed more career-minded than the others. (Unless, of course, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is staging a comeback that I don't know about.)
Today, an article by Sam Cook in the Fort Myers News-Press tracks down McCready's roommate, who says that, yes, she remembers the two meeting, flirting, and McCready going back to Roger's hotel room extremely late, but the two did not have sex. Oh, and McCready was apparently 17 at the time, which does punch holes in the DN's original story, but doesn't exactly make it that much less salacious.
It's yet to be seen what this type of coverage could do for McCready's attempts to kickstart her career again (it depends on how awful the reality show is, or if it gets picked up) but so far, the scandal hasn't done anything for her past albums. According to Soundscan, Mindy McCready hasn't tracked in the last few weeks. Anna Loynes, a rep for the music sales tracking service, says there has been no sales spike whatsoever. And how many albums does McCready need to sell to even register on Soundscan's tracking data?
"At least 100," she said.
Well, even 99 more sales of her entire back catalog is better than nothing. But maybe resurrecting an affair with Roger Clemens isn't the best marketing technique for her new album?

She's at the top of the Cassettes Sold At A Gas Station In The Middle of Nowhere charts though.
saw Brutus last month and he is still in fact wrestling Daulerio! Granted it was in a high school gym but......
If she really wants to up her album sales, she should try sleeping with Timbaland.
I'm gonna help out Mindy is this time of heartbreak and misfortune! Come on, who's with me?
Martin Lawrence needs a haircut.
Mindy McCready's reality show is being touted as a cross between Celebrity Fit Club, I Love New York and The Rose.
In that photo, Mindy looks like an audience member that's getting surprised with a makeover...
In this picture, it looks like Oprah trying to pass fat from her body to McCreadys.
"You go (have sex with an older man while still underage) girl!"
They were roommates for less than a year at Gulfstream Isles apartments, when both worked at Melons, a Hooters wannabe in south Fort Myers.
I've lost all respect for her. She didn't fulfill the obligations of her 12-month lease.
If I had a life that sucked as much as hers and still don't have enough material for a country music album It's time to re-think the ol' career path
McCready's reality show now on hold, due to the fact that the proposed title The Biggest Loser has already been taken.
Let this serve as a warning to Taylor Swift. Regardless of what he tells you don't sleep with the Rocket
@Thundercracker: Must have been an amazing match! Was Jake the Snake involved?
At least being on Oprah is better than spending last night in a ditch.
When you're seventeen, shouldn't your "roommate" be the same thing as your "mother"?

I hear Raisins in South Park, CO is hiring.
Terrible Idea #6: Appear on Oprah to jump start poor country-music album sales.
No, yes. (In hopes of knocking her up and being due massive child support payments....anybody?)
No, yes.
@Stay Away From Oprah: I'm disappointed they have a bar called Melons. Seriously? There are so many slang terms for breasts and that's what they decided on?
Meth is a hell of a drug!
The Non-Existent Roger Clemens Spike
No-the affair didn't exist, but his dick still does, though.
And jeez, if Clemens has a spike, what does Santonio Holmes have? The whole damn railway?
@ArkansasFred: ... in the $1.99 bin.
@Dead Wrestlers Society: Its just like a Rasins
I thought reality TV shows were more likely to be picked up the more awful they are.
Unless, of course, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is staging a comeback that I don't know about
(crossing fingers, cutting holes in spandex)
@Matt_T: She's purty.
To be fair, Brutus did injure Roger's cousin, Hillbilly Jim.
You know what else boosts album sales?Talent.
Or banging the president of the record label. Either one works.
Miley Cyrus just cancelled her plans to track down Albert Pujols' phone number.
when your gut sticks out as far as your boobs,
you might be a redneck
The Non-Existent Roger Clemens Spike, mindy mccready, roger clemens
Don't tell that to Suzyn Waldman
Oh Mindy, you came and you gave without flaking, But I sent you Ben Gay.
@Weed Against Speed: Talent didn't get Britney anywhere
@André Roussimoff:
Greg The Hammer Valentine actually, watching the former tag team partners do battle was pretty grueling emotionally.
jake was there, and sober to boot!
I won't know what to think until I hear from the Iron Sheik.
What the hell is Ingrid Bergman doin on Oprah?
@Weed Against Speed: Karyn White would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
/mariah carey was too easy an answer
@BabyGorilla: Is it me or does Oprah look a lot like Jabba the Hut?
@Doyle McPoyle: I would have to think Brutus is looking to place the following items in close proximity right now: Shawn Michaels, a plate glass window, and Roger Clemens.
@Nocturnal emissions: I'd compare her more to Pizza the Hut. I think the potential for Oprah one day eating herself is pretty close to 50%...
Is that the fat Oprah, the skinny Oprah, the white Oprah or the black Oprah?
It's definitely the condescending, over-the-top compassionate Oprah, though.
I don't like Oprah.
@Stay Away From Oprah: Not to be confused with Fun Bags Restaurant just north of Ft. Myers.
@MattMillenFanClub:Or Oprah. And No, No.
@The Gizmo from Pismo: Is that because it was discovered that she didn't have any?
The non-existent Roger Clemens spike? Isn't that what Debbie Clemens calls it?
@BabyGorilla:They're merely exchangin long protein strands. Can you think of a better way?
If only Mindy McCready would have heeded the advice contained in my commenter name.
Oprah's minge knows a talentless singer when it hears one.
@ghostsoftheSCupcountry: and THERE'S YORU WINNER +1
Hoping to boost album sales, Clay Aiken just released a statement to the press that he had an affair with Roger Clemens.
