What? No Rocket thread

[Brettski]

I listened to the entire 4 1/2 hour "hearing" yesterday

Did Rocket lie before congress (those bozos). Probably

But go ahead and prove it

I'm glad I didn't.

From what I've heard, and read, my faith in our entire system of government has been completely shattered beyond repair.

I'm just glad there's nothing else going on in the world more important for Congress to be dealing with.

Agreed! It's crazy to me that our tax dollars are going to something like this.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Ditto

 

[Paul]

Well.... Baseball IS a multi-billion dollar corporation that has an antitrust exemption....

 

[SkiDork]

who gives a freakin crap. Those bozos don't pay my salary....

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

thats what i cant figure out, why has this issue gone all the way to Congress?? Cant MLB take care of it internaly?

Your tax dollars hard at work........

at the end of the day, its just a bunch of overpaid guys playing a game.....

The new sports guy on Headline News in the morning had a great comment, in reference to the various people not attending the hearings, despite subpoenas- "This may be a sign it's time to move this out of Congress and over to the Justice Department to let them do their job."

This actually makes sense.

For everyone that doesn't understand why MLB doesn't just handle it themselves...

THIS IS A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION INVOLVED WITH ILLEGAL DRUGS AND HAS AN ANTITRUST EXEMPTION!!!

Linky-poo

And this:

 

[deadheadskier]

I wonder if McNamee's lawyer will be right and if Clemens is guilty, Bush will pardon him. What a joke that would be.

Is the death penalty too steep? Not because he's been convicted of anything, just because I'm sick of hearing about this shit.

Ugh.. and turn him into a martyr? No thanks.

It'd be nice if they'd just fix the damn problem already. How 'bout we go back to the good old days of not allowing cameras, reporters et al... into the congressional hearings or the courtrooms?

 

[Warp Daddy]

Congressional hearing is total waste of time kinda like mating of elephants ; It 's done in High places is full of Sound and Fury, full of huff and puff and Signifies -----NOTHING but another Elephant cept in congress' case the damn thing might look more like a Dinosaur :>)

The Justice Dept approach HAS merit

You can say that again.

I think Roger should be water boarded....and that's all I say before it gets political.

We can kill off a bunch of others too, if it prevents Roger from being turned into a lone martyr. I don't really care who, just pick a bunch of em. Baseball players, members of Congress... whatever. I say they're all fair game.
