Clemens reportedly had affair with country star Roger Clemens has another potential scandal he's already denying. He reportedly had a affair with country singer Mindy McCready in a decade-long relationship that began when she was 15 and Clemens was a 28-year old with the Red Sox. This could be especially damaging as Clemens' defamation suit against Brian McNamee proceeds.

The Cubs Own Chicago; The White Sox Just Rent There One team finally brings a World Series championship to Chicago, a much-maligned, double-jeopardy Charlie Brown of major league baseball. The other team "celebrates" 100 years since their last championship. So why are the White Sox the city's second-class citizen?

Force makes history as first female Funny Car winner Another woman winning in a major auto sport. I think it is even better since she beat her dad in the finals. Congratulations Ashley.

Big win, but I've let my daughter win at things before if it would mean a lot to her, too. It's just a little fishy this historical victory comes against her dad. That being said, there's practically no way of ever proving it wasn't a earned-win. Dad barely got off the start.

I really don't see where you get the idea he "let" her win.
I didn't actually come out and say he let her win. What I said is I've let my daughter win a things many times, thinking she'd get more out of a victory in a certain situation than I would. I guess I shouldn't have used the word "too." It's just a bit ironic. And competitor or not, it's his daughter, his own flesh and blood, not just another opponent.

This is my #1 draft pick... Well maybe a little lower than first. Size, strength, aggressiveness, quickness. With a little help on his technique, he could be an excellent offensive lineman.

Wasn't that guy an offensive lineman on "The Replacements"?

Pacman gives Dallas Cowboys a dual threat: This is what Pacman Jones can bring to the Dallas Cowboys on the field if he plays in 2008: A playmaker on defense as a cornerback and on special teams.

The guy gets in boatloads of trouble, throws a wrench in his team, the Titans, who are trying to rebuild and use a top draft pick on him, and after they put up with nothing but shit from the guy, they have to dump him off. In the end, Jones actually gets put in a better situation! Only in professional sports, I guess. Hopefully the Cowboys lean on the guy all season, and then at a crucial point Assman pulls another stripclub stunt and gets bounced from the league, ruining the 'Boys' season. While I hate wishing bad things to people, I'm sick of criminals and malcontents being able to put themselves on better teams while their original team is made to suffer. A fourth-round pick (yeah, I understand that could improve) for the sixth overall pick in '05? That sucks.

The Ten Worst Number One Overall Picks A look back at the surefire picks that weren't.
posted to Football at 6:11 PM CDT
The reason Vick will be seen as a first-pick bust is because the Falcons traded to get that pick from San Diego, and the Chargers moved down and ultimately turned their choice into LaDanian Tomlinson. That's a smart move by the Chargers with the number one overall choice. I personally can't totally consider Vick a bust, though, because even though he's one of the worst percentage and accuracy passers I've ever witnessed, his athletic ability and marketability have both been tremendous. His jersey and merchandise was selling far ahead of all other players up to the time he entered jail. Going into prison, though, moves him rapidly up any bust list.

I personally can't consider that being a bust.
Instead of being a impact player helping his team on the field, Vick, a number one choice in the entire draft, is sitting in a jail cell? That couldn't be more horrible for an organization, regardless of what Vick's future holds for him. It's a bust for the Falcons in general, not necessarily Vick personally.
If i had to live in Cleveland and play for the Browns, I would have to smoke pot everyday.

Whether Vick is considered a bust or not, you really do have to hand it to the Chargers in that draft situation. They were able to expoit all the excitement over Vick coming into that draft and parlay the pick into a organization-changing player. Teams that take risks like that (trading the first pick overall) and make them work deserve a great deal of credit.

Bosworth wasn't a number one overall draft pick. He was picked by Seattle in the '87 supplemental draft. The overall number one pick in the '87 NFL draft was Vinnie Testeverde by Tampa Bay.
As for Manning/Rivers, I think the Chargers made the most out of that situation by getting Rivers when Manning felt he was too good for them. Rivers came a long way last year towards showing he may be a very good quarterback in the future. A cocky one, but a good one.

what about Tony Mandarich?
We're talking about THE NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK OF THE ENTIRE DRAFT FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR IN NFL HISTORY, not a certain team's number one pick. Ya know, like "With the first pick in the 2008 National Football League Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Jake Long, tackle, University of Michigan. The St. Louis Rams are now on the clock." Tony Mandarich was the second overall pick in '89 after Troy Aikman.

I swear, yym, some people jump on these threads and don't read anything but a couple of key words in the title. They don't look at the link, and don't read any of the posts that written prior to them jumping in.
Oh yeah, and by the way; how 'bout that fucking Tony Mandarich!

This is huge, potentially, because Clemens tries to come across as such a squeaky-clean American hero throughout these proceedings, and claims every single negative thing said regarding him is a lie. If McCready (or anyone she knows) is ever made to testify in a potential trial, this could prove to be big blow to Clemens. This isn't a claim against some relative unknown, it involves someone who is/was a fairly big name in the entertainment business. Testifying in front of Congress is one thing, but if Clemens ever has to go into a trial setting and defend himself against a parade of people McNamee's attorneys may bring forth to testify, he might be in for big, big problems.
BoKnows, where did it say Emery outed this information or called Clemens a child molester?
I was wondering that myself. If there's a link where he calls Clemens a child molester, I'd be interested to see it.
McCready is also someone who was jailed a few years back for drug-related reasons. If there is any truth to this accusation I tend to believe she'll come out with it fairly quickly and not risk getting herself in more trouble. It could also be somewhat of a "break" for her, as stupid as that sounds, in that she's trying for a career comeback with several potential projects on the horizon.
The legal and baseball troubles into which Rocket has pushed his little self-contained bubble have nothing to do with this barely-newsworthy non-event.
You really believe that? Clemens' entire defense to everything he's ever been accused of was based on his honesty. He really hasn't even dealt with legal troubles yet, but he's well on his way to having to. And if something does come out about anything inappropriate when this person (McCready) was underage, then I tend to believe it may become somewhat of a newsworthy event.
The charges don't interest me. The dismantling of his cone of insulation, however, I find fascinating.
Yeah, I can agree with that. On the surface, the charges, as well as this possible affair may be nothing out-of-the-ordinary. I like the "dismantling of his cone of insulation" comment, because that's a great way of phrasing it.
She's a loon. I remember that story, being a Country fan, and she went completely bonkers.
She has definitely had a lot of problems, and yes, she was married to (TV Superman Dean Cain). But even after she continued to unravel, Clemens reportedly was sending her big chunks of cash so she could defend herself. If true, it goes to show even more how Clemens and his ego think he can go about doing practically anything and it will never be called into question by anyone. It may all be rising to the surface.
SportsFilter: A sports coterie of fartcatchers and sychopants.
Do you mean sychophants?
It's sycophant. Look it up.
I was mainly wondering about her word as possibly something I didn't know the definition of, not so much about the spelling. But thanks, worldcup, and I'll take your well-intended advice and look it up.
I thought this post might have a logical discussion of how this issue, if it turns out to be true, might negatively impact Clemens as he faces further legal issues. It was obvious his credibility was what was really in question when he faced Congress on the steroids issue, and as he moves on with an intent on a defamation lawsuit.
I apologize for my mistake in posting this. Much of the junk about posting to 153 and such only reinforces what I've been feeling for some time now. This site used to be enjoyable, but it just isn't anymore. There are far too many people who either seem to be bitter about practically everything, or want to jump on someone when they ask a question. I made a honest question a bit ago about a certain word and, in turn, someone jumped down my throat. And I've hardly ever gotten involved in all the spelling and grammar stuff, and today had a question about definition.
Anyways, it's been fun while it lasted, and consider this my final post.
