    Check some of the time frames, as well.
    McNamee saw them in Roger's SkyDome hotel room...that had to be 1997 or later, when McCready was no longer a minor.
    The NYC story could be true but she certainly wasn't a minor then either.

    The lede says a decade-long affair, then there is this graf:

    The romantic link to McCready, which spanned his stints with the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees and Astros...

    From the time McCready was 15 until the time Clemens went to the Astros is 14 years.

    As has been often stated, Clemens is a slimeball but I'll believe the 15-year-old thing when somebody shows me some hint of evidence.

    And what would Tennessee's statute of limitations have to do with it if it didn't happen in Tennessee?

    I agree with spnited, though, there is a lot of weeping, gnashing of teeth and ripping out of hair on this board about how anonymous sources are terrible. But when the most hated man on this board has something like this come out - in a tabloid, no less - anonymous sources are suddenly the gospel.

    I just find it interesting compared to the threads I have read on the Journalism Topics Only board.

    I'm with spnited on this one.

    There's a massive rush to judgment here. Frankly, it's disgusting.

    If it's confirmed that he did commit statutory rape, then he should have the fucking book thrown at him. But many of the people on here are ready to convict Roger Clemens and throw him in the slammer based on ALLEGATIONS of statutory rape.

    We should be dealing in facts, not speculation.

    Ya, we should all be more level-headed like spnited when it comes to those we can't stand.

    I'm wondering why she would lie about their affair? Especially if she kept mementos that he gave her during their relationship?

    I'm just wondering, is all. I'll let the board's legal scholars take over now.

    Oh my god. Really? People reacting on a site can't convict a man. I'm sorry if my COMPLETELY OVER THE TOP REACTION was read as me being trained in the law and saying that he's guilty.

    Jesus. I'll remember that next time you guys flip out over something. Shall I bring up any of the Britney threads?
