February 14 update

On Wednesday February 13, 2008 Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee testified in front of The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It was great political theater and made for great TV on a snowed in day. After watching this hearing, I have more questions than answers. Who was telling the truth? I have to say that Mr.. McNamee was more credible, not by much though. If Andy Pettitte was such a friend to Clemens why did he not tell him of his HGH use? Why did Roger Clemens trust Brian McNamee so much? McNamee is not a medical doctor and is not licensed to give drugs. He is a PhD and not a MD. Why did Clemens not look into this? This will continue as the Justice Department has stated an investigation.

The most over-rated event of the year is the NFL Pro Bowl. Who cares about the Pro Bowl, it is at the end of the year after the Super Bowl. The NFL should get rid of the game, still have teams but have them compete in skills events like the quarterback challenge and the linebacker challenge. The conferences would still compete against each other with the NFC VS. the AFC. Like I said before, the skills competitions are the best part of All-Star weekend. Speaking of All-Star games, this weekend is the NBA All-Star game. Saturday is the Slam Dunk contest and the 3-point shootout. It also includes the skills challenge that has become a fan favorite. One star to watch Saturday is Rudy Gay from UCONN in the Slam Dunk contest. Should be fun.

Also this weekend is the 50th Daytona 500. This year should be quite interesting in NASCAR. The most poplar driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. from Dale Earnhardt Incorporated, the team his dad built to Hendrick Motorsports. . Tony Stewart’s (my guy) team moved from using Chevrolet’s to using Toyota’s. All the teams are using new safely improved bodies on all tracks this year. The end of the race is always fun.

Talk to you in a few weeks, I’M off to San Diego, California on business.
