Clemens admits 'mistakes,' denies affair with teen

[Arctic Blast]

wow, the media has made so much more of this quote than it was. She has ADMITTED nothing!! She gave an interview (i forget with who) a day after that quote and was questioned on it. The quote in the paper was that she cannot refute anything. She said in her interview as well that she can't refute anything in the article. She was asked if she then confirmed it. She said I can't confirm anything in the article either. She then said all she could say was she found it funny. It was clear she's denying it but won't state anything publicly as her lawyers are involved.

Now I think she's BS. If she didn't have a sexual affair it was an inappropriate one at the least. But I think it's more BS how the media took her quote "I can't refute anything" to mean she acknowledge the report. That's horrific journalism and obviously their intent worked, as at least one person in this forum snagged it and drew conclusions.

Welcome to sad way the media works these days. The companies that own the networks are so desperate not to be scooped by a rival that they'll throw any half-baked, non-investigated, non-corroborated piece of garbage out on the air to be 1st. And after one network IS 1st, the rest simply 'have to' follow suit, otherwise they'd be left behind on a 'developing story'.

Well they can't throw ANYTHING out otherwise they will be sued for slander/libel & also would have to PRINT an apology.


As Clemens' hasn't attacked the paper nor any media over the issue then one can consider it to be "correct" - if read it says he met her at 15 & then started an affair.The problem is that it implies that he started when she was 15 whereas the reality is that there is no START date (she could have been 20 or 25)

On top of that the word affair can be used to mean so many different things that it would be hard to pin it on the paper. That is why they never used the terms sexual and things like that. They stuck with words like improper and affair, words that can be twisted to mean other things if they did find themselves in a pinch.

Dude, the apologies come out A LOT. It's just that they're printed in the corner of Page 17, while the story was on the cover, so nobody ever notices. Sensationalism rules all.

McCready says that she and Clemens didn’t get intimate until she was of legal age - so no statutory rape occurred. She describes the past pitcher as “good” in bed, but...only when he could "get it up".

Whoops!

To summarize:

"Sorry for the stuff I did, I didn't do any of it, its all lies, but I'm sorry"

Kind of like Jason Giambi's confession which he didn't confess to anything but to only say he was sorry. haha

that has nothing to do with the size of your balls

its has to do with your blood pressure in most cases
