A Roger Clemens exlusive interview will air on CBS’s 60 Minutes on Sunday likely regarding hot topics such as: steroid use, the Mitchell Report and retirement. When that is all said and done the Rocket will address the media on Monday for any follow up questions. Believe me, there will be some. But the real question is - do we really care?
No matter what Clemens says or does during the interview on Sunday and the aftermath on Monday, the world has already classified him as a cheater, even without his side of the story. All the public has to go on is a YouTube video of his denial.
The multiple Cy Young winner and fireballer, Clemens has repeatedly denied the use of any performance enhancing steroids, going even as far to acknowledge names such as Brian McNamee.
When Clemens takes to the podium, or simulated mound, it’ll be interesting to see what transpires and if he will even comment on what was said. Will be elaborate? Maybe. Will he tell everyone to replay the video on their PVR’s? Most likely.
I don’t see anything substantial coming out of the conference on Monday so make some time on Sunday to watch, what I’m dubbing, The Great Denial.
