Roger Clemens And Brian McNamee's E-mail Bromance Is Something Special

DAULERIO — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:20:26 EDT

The Smoking Gun has published the October 2006 email conversations between Roger Clemens and his trainer, Brian McNamee, on the heels of the erroneous Jason Grimsley affidavit report by the LA Times. The exchanges both show that the love between these two partners in ass-injecting infamy is boundless — and that Roger Clemens is a brilliant wordsmith.

Also, ironically, McNamee bristles at Clemens' "rat" insinuation and proves his loyalty to his former superstar client by letting him know that he "will hop on a plane, find you, and slap you very hard" if Clemens even worries about his trainer turncoating. Oh, and Clemens calls the writer of the LA Times piece a "dushbag" and signs all of his e-mails "22."

The correspondence was included as an exhibit to a federal court filing made yesterday by McNamee's lawyers. Another filing shows the syringe submitted to the court will definitey have Roger Clemens' DNA on it.

Oh, why can't these two dushbags just kiss and make up?

Love Means Never Having To Tolerate Your Wife's Saggy Breasts

So, the more Brian McNamee opens his mouth, it becomes less clear who's more of a horrible human being. Is it the opportunisitic "trainer" who ratted out his clients who gave him a career? Or is it Roger Clemens, so deluded by his own legacy that he's absolutely convinced himself that he did nothing wrong?

The latest McNamee bomb alleges that Rocket encouraged his wife to zap herself with some HGH right before her Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue shoot in 2003. Writer Kathleen O' Brien dug up this little nugget from Debbie Clemens' website about her trepidation about posing for the issue:

Roger came to me one day and told me that we had been asked to do a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated. I had major anxiety! I was a 39-year-old mother of 4! Once I realized that this WAS going to be a reality, I decided I had to give it everything I had. My mind was set. I am not a risk taker, but have since learned that with great risk, sometimes comes great reward. The responses from that experience have been wonderful and I feel it was a turning point in my life. It's nice to have a goal for yourself and to see it through. The goal kept me motivated and focused. Using common sense and my ability to balance my life, I achieved that goal.

Well, the goal was achieved. She absolutely shreded herself for that photo shoot. However, with this latest allegation does this mean that Debbie Clemens lose her first ballot milf hall of fame credentials? She only has a few more years of eligibility.

Roger Clemens Had An Abscess On His Butt

Aren't you glad you knew that? Is your day not more enlightened than before? In a story found by Steroid Nation in the New York Times, trainer Brian McNamee goes into totally unnecessary detail about the aftereffects of injecting Clemens with steroids.

Something showed up on his bottom, and as you can imagine, it wasn't pretty:

Brian McNamee told federal authorities last summer that Roger Clemens developed an abscess on his buttocks about the same time that McNamee said he was giving him steroid injections during the 1998 season, according to a lawyer with knowledge of details of the case.

As disgusting as that is, that doesn't really add any traction to McNamee's allegations if he has no proof of the abscess. So this really isn't much of a bombshell. Then you might be asking, "Why did you even mention it?" Because when you have a chance to burn into someone's memory a mental picture of an abscess on Roger Clemens's ass, you pretty much do it.
