She needs all the free press she can get. After all, she's releasing a new album, filming a documentary about her life, and starting a reality show. In McCready's position, as I mentioned yesterday, it's not necessarily a bad thing for her name to be coming up now, even in this manner. It's surprising he hasn't legally changed his own name to KRoger Klemens.) (And if you have any doubts about the man's enormous ego, you need look no further than his kids' names: Koby, Kacy, Kory, and Kody. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone as self-absorbed and impressed with himself as Roger Clemens would be able to keep seeing this young girl who seemingly threw herself at him and be able to keep turning her down. McCready did not say that she never saw Clemens between the ages of 15 and 18, just that the relationship did not turn sexual until then. If they saw each other in the intervening time, between 19, when she turned 18 and moved to Nashville to destroy herself become a star, are we supposed to believe that they acted with similar restraint each of those times? After all, to get where he was Clemens obviously has to have a lot of discipline, so maybe he drew upon some of that reservoir to keep him from Little Miss Jailbait. Let's say that they were attracted to each other, but that they restrained themselves. what? Just talked? Watched TV? Painted each other's toenails? Come on, people.īut let's give him the benefit of the doubt here. It's all very convenient that McCready says that her sexual relationship with Clemens did not begin until she was 18-and therefore legal-but is it a credible story?Īre we supposed to believe that this testosterone-ridden egotist took an attractive young girl, totally enamored of him, back to his hotel room that night and they. Yes, I did something wrong, but not that wrong. This, just like Andy Pettitte's confession to using HGH back in 2003 before it was banned by MLB, comes off as the perfect confession. Reading McCready's admission of the relationship this morning, to paraphrase Chevy Chase, could not have made me more surprised than if I'd woken up this morning with my head sewn to the carpet.īut within the confines of that, this particular detail comes as no surprise at all, or at the very least, it does not surprise me that she would say that. "It wasn't until later, after McCready had moved to Nashville and become a country singing star, that the relationship turned intimate." "After the teenage McCready met Clemens at a Fort Myers bar called The Hired Hand, she returned with the Rocket to his hotel room, but there was no sex that night," sources told The News. Until she's an adult, she's their responsibility, and it appears that they dropped the ball here. Craig Calcaterra at Shysterball rightly says that Clemens is "an evil and loathsome monster who contributed to the destruction of a young girl in a major way."īut while we're at it, let's not let McCready's parents off the hook either.
