The PostGame

I really don’t know what to say here. Roger Clemens is currently in the middle of an ugly congressional hearing where his ex-personal trainer, Brian McNamee, continues to testify that he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award winner with steroids multiple times during his career.

Recently, however, a new story emerged:

McNamee told congressional investigators he injected Debbie Clemens with HGH — at the seven-time Cy Young Award winner’s direction — before the couple posed for a 2003 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition photo shoot, a lawyer familiar with his testimony said Friday.

That’s right. Apparently either the Clemens family is ridiculously competitive to the point where his wife wanted to look buffer (or is it “more buff”?) than other athlete’s wives, or Brian McNamme is completely crazy. Or both.

I remember that 2003 SI issue. In fact, I remember every SI swimsuit edition since I was 16, because I’m a pervert.

Here’s the original Debbie Clemens picture from the issue, still hosted on the front page of DebbieClemens.com:

(Update: Feb. 18, 2008 - The DebbieClemens.com site has been down for a few days. I’m going to go ahead and start the rumor that she was busted for illegally distributing MP3’s and/or selling weapons to North Korea.)

Fun fact: DebbieClemens.com looks like a fifth-grader’s MySpace page and plays annoying music when it opens. This alone makes me want to believe that she took HGH, because I hate sites that start playing music automatically. Also, she is sporting a ridiculous six-pack, and women in their forties with kids just don’t look like that naturally.

For research purposes only, here’s the cover of that 2003 issue:

And I didn’t realize it until now, but Sports Illustrated offers an online archive of every swimsuit edition since 1996. That’s right, folks. FINALLY, you can use the interweb to look at pictures of hot girls. And you thought it was just for looking at Friendster and Geocities pages with your Netscape browser! And for finding fellow furries, of course.

In summary, the Clemens’s are crazy, and God bless SI.com.
