So, I watched the Mike & Mike Show on ESPN2 this morning, listening to Roger Clemens continue his aggressive denial act, and then one of the authors of the new book about Clemens. I was struck by the response of the emailing audience during the show. Just after the Clemens appearance, the email was running about 99% against him. Then, after the author’s appearance, which wasn’t too hot, the email tide turned in favor of Clemens and his “believability”.
We live in such a binary society these days, it really drives me mad. Now, I know that the same people that emailed during the Clemens appearance are likely not the same people that emailed later, but damn, people…just because you didn’t like the writer doesn’t mean that Clemens is any more believable. It’s not a yes-or-no situation – I think they’re both full of it. Shades of gray, people…it makes life go a lot easier…
