A lot of people are pretty taken with the Roger Clemens situation. I’ve put my idea of performance enhancing drugs on this blog before, but here is a point that is brought up by the hosts of ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption. It should be said now that I completely agree with what they are saying:

Question: Is Congress going to far with the Roger Clemens situation?

Wilbaum: You know what? Yeah, I think so. And I going to give credit to you for trying to convince me over a period of years that Congress should not necessarily be involved in these matters. There real life things going on that are bigger and more important than baseball. There’s conflict worldwide. There’s an education crisis in America. Loisiana and the golf have yet to be rebuilt. There are things so much more important than Roger Clemens. I think that you have convinced me, particularly now Tony. They’re talking about depositions, they’re talking about all this work. This is work. These are hours commited to Rger Clemens. No. I think they’ve gone to far.

Tony: I don’t think Congress needs to be in the baseball business. I think Congress needs to be in the school business, and the cost-of-cars business, and the war business, and the bridges and the roads business, and stuff like that. They’re now investigating Roger Clemens, like this is the House on Un-American Activities Committee. I would remind people, I think that Mark MaGuire is not in the Hall of Fame because of what happened before of a Congressional Committee. And I would think that a lot Congressman up there would have gladly gone to games where Mark MaGuire played and cheered him as he hit his 500 foot home runs and stuff like that. I’m not saying they can’t be involved with sports, but to me it’s a glad handing position to get involved with sports, to come in for the kill on something like this. And especially in an election year there gotta be more important (Wilbaum in background: have to be) things for sitting members of the House of Representatives to do than this.
