Clemens' main attorney is a very prominent defense attorney from the Houston area. Obviously, he is not an idiot in the mental sense. But in the sense of how to handle this situation, he either gave his client idiotic advice, or his client refused to follow his advice.

The more that is revealed about Clemens (and Bonds, for that matter) in this steriod / HGH using situation, the more it hurts rather than helps.

To believe Clemens, you have to not believe:
1) McNamee
2) Pettitte
3) Clemens' nanny
4) and even Clemens himself

Why would McNamee only make up stuff about Clemens?
Why was Clemens not at the party. Then at the party but didn't go in?
Why was the accusation by McNamee that he gave Clemens' wife an injection of HGH a "colossial lie" and then the "collosial lie" is only that Roger himself was involved?
Why does any athlete take injections of B-12 in his butt?
Why is it incredulous that a person would keep gauze for years but not incredulous that a person would keep a golf receipt for years?

Roger Clemens is willing to throw friends and family under the bus to protect his public reputation. Only problem is, by doing so, he has destroyed his public reputation.

I'll place merit in the libel suit only when it actually makes it to trial. Don't hold your breath on that one.
