Yea I Take Steroids. I Eat That S*** for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee were on Captiol Hill this morning. They both got drilled pretty hard. McNamee seemed to at least have an explanation or quick response to everything. Clemens stumbled a lot. He also had the look on his face that he wanted to throw his 90mph + fastball at each Congressman's head.

Clemens said Andy Pettitte was "one of the most honest men in MLB." Congressman responded with saying that Pettitte said in his deposition that Clemens told him he used HGH. Clemens' response? "Andy misremembers our conversation." I don't know if all the steroid accusations will ever be proven (unless they make Clemens provide DNA to match with the syringes and gauze pads), but the guy took HGH. Just admit it. You look like an idiot.

Funniest part of the day? Knowing McNamee put a needle in Mrs. Clemens' butt.

TIGERS
They play Houston tonight at FEF. This is a blowout waiting to happen. I can't wait for next Saturday.

GRIZZLIES
Hey! They won a game. There's no reason for the Kings to have a better record than the Grizz. Especially when Artest and Bibby missed so many games. We'll see what they do with the cap room. I'm guessing nothing, but we'll see.

COLLEGE HOOPS
Kelvin Sampson is in more trouble than we thought. Apparently he violated telephone recruiting restrictions at Indiana (he was already on probation for doing the same thing at Oklahoma). Sampson and 2 assistants have lied about it to NCAA investigators and Indiana University. I would bet that most schools find loop holes to get away with these things. I also know Sampson made these calls from his office phone (a phone that can be traced). Ever heard of using a pay phone? I know that's probably the way most coaches do it, or they just use a random cell phone. Boo to you Sampson for being a moron. Indiana hosts #14 Wisconsin tonight. Should be interesting to see how they handle it.

Kentucky was beat down by Vanderbilt last night. Finally, Vandy has a good win. Yes, Kentucky isn't very good but they had won 5 straight which included a win over Tennessee so that counts as a good win for Vandy.

There are only a few teams that can win the National Championship. Here they are:
Memphis, Kansas, UCLA, Tennessee, UNC, and Duke. If Tennessee runs into a team that has a good big man (like UCLA and UNC) then they will struggle (see Patrick Patterson of Kentucky).

NBA
Shaq may play Thursday vs. Mavs. Good, but Phoenix still made a desperate move and aren't going to the Finals. It's going to be Lakers/Spurs or Mavs/Lakers in the WCF.

Stan Van Gundy called out Dwight Howard. SVG says Howard gets upset when he doesn't get the ball on offense. SVG wants Howard to worry about defensive rebounding more. If you don't think the rebounding effort from Howard has been there then that's fine. As a coach, shouldn't you also be upset that your best player isn't touching the ball enough on offense? Brian Hill was fired because Howard felt like he didn't get enough touches. Be careful SVG.

All Star Game is this weekend in New Orleans.

Sophomores win the Rook/Soph game.

Gerald Green wins the Dunk Contest again. However, Rudy Gay will do much better than Hakim Warrick did.

West will win the All Star Game. Allen Iverson is MVP.

Somebody will get shot at a strip club on Bourbon Street.

Here's to the All Star Game this weekend. Zach Randolph knows the biz...
