Men have gone to fisticuffs for much, much less. And, hell, we all know a certain pitcher who tossed a broken bat at a certain opposing player for a certain dirty look that one time…

So, as if Roger Clemens needed any more of a reason to want “bad things” to “accidentally” happen to his ex-trainer, Brian McNamee, the latest report from a Washington source is sure to have the potential Hall of Fame pitcher in a “rage” of sorts — so to speak.

If anonymous sources out of Washington are to be trusted, the latest from the Brian McNamee’s “bag o’ Clemens evidence” is that he reportedly told congressional lawyers today during an eight hour “getting to know you” session that he injected Mrs. Clemens too — just before the couple participated in the Sports Illustrated photo shoot seen to the right –at the very request of Mr. Clemens himself!

(My friends, even Jerry Springer could not plant this much juice into a story about juicin’.)

Like most of these McNamee accusations, there is no way to tell whether this is even remotely truthful. Because if we are to believe the Clemens defense, McNamee is just a bitter old trainer with some sort of grudge, sinking, and trying his best to drag the biggest names down with him.

Let’s assume McNamee and Clemens speak on the phone again — of course, I know there is no shot in a juicer’s backside that’ll happen again, but bear with me — the conversation is likely to proceed like so:

Clemens: Who’s this?

McNamee: Hey, Rog, it’s me… BMac.

Clemens: …

McNamee: Hello? Rog, hello? Rog?

Clemens: I will do you like Tyson did Holyfield.

McNamee: Cool. Let me gather up my digi-cam and a ziplock and I’ll be right over. I have one more session with the boys on The Hill in the near-to-distant future.

The End…?
