In defense of him, if you watch the whole thing on ESPN it doesn't sound that bad. He also clearly didn't mean it in an offensive way. Just a boneheaded choice of words.

This is a situation where regardless of his intentions, the words themselves are worth more than any explanation thereafter.

 

You remember criticism of Bill Parcells for calling a certain defensive play a "Jap attack," or some variation of that? He even went as far as to specifically warn the media he meant no harm by the term, but it didn't matter because he still said it.

 

I'm interested how Baseball Tonight reacts to this...

I just wondered what the spin on this would have been if Bonds had said it

 

 

Exactly what I was just going to post...

 

There'd be a hanging scheduled, no doubt.

Ha, good point. I actually hate Roger more then Bonds, not sure why but Clemens has always bugged me for some reason and I do hate Barry as well.

I'm surprised no other sports outlets have picked up on this story. Nothing thus far from Foxsports, yahoo, or ESPN.

 

This can morph into a HUGE controversy if ESPN, among others, have a backbone and report on the comments of Clemens.

 

Ding, ding, ding, ding.
