Clemens Had Decade-Long Affair With Country Music Singer

[Valadius]

]Clemens had 10-year affair with country music star McCready Roger Clemens carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old Red Sox ace and married father of two, several sources have told the New York Daily News. The revelations could torpedo claims of an unsullied character that are central to the defamation suit Clemens filed Jan. 6 against his former personal trainer Brian McNamee. Vivid details of the affair could surface in several media projects that McCready is involved with � including a documentary that begins filming today in Nashville, a new album and a reality show. McCready, who lives on a quiet, tree-lined street in Nashville, is attempting a career comeback following a string of legal and personal woes. Contacted by the Daily News Sunday through his lawyer Rusty Hardin, Clemens confirmed a long-term relationship but denied that it was of a sexual nature. "He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her," Hardin said. "He's considered her a close family friend. ... He has never had a sexual relationship with her." Hardin said the Rocket's wife, Debbie, knew McCready and that the singer had traveled on his plane. Source: New York Daily News

"He flatly denies having had any kind of an inappropriate relationship with her...."

As if was appropriate to travel with a teenaged girl. Then again, I'm sure he felt it was "appropriate" to have this relationship so it's OK for him to deny having an "inappropriate" relationship.

He is truly the lowest of the low. Even Barry Bonds looks at him and says "at least I'm not that bad." Somewhere, Mike Piazza is laughing.

I assumed from the headline that he was having the relationship with Clemens-doppleganger Toby Keith.

This is great stuff, though.

]a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old

woah!

[metirish]

And he was a 28 year old stud , sorry , a stud in the Red Sox rotation......Clemens is a scumbag , we knew that and now the rest of the country is finding out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, great stuff, that Clemens & his scummy lawyer brought on himself by arrogantly filing a defamation suit against McNamee.

McCready seems like vintage white trash: She's a drug abuser, from Florida, scumbag associates & family, trying to make a reality show to gloss over her criminal past, etc etc

[Benjamin Grimm]

If he denies having sex with a 15-year-old then I have to believe him, because he's a "titan."

[Centerfield]

The better thread title would have been: "Roger Clemens - Drug Abuser, Rapist, Adulterer"

[Guest Triple Dee]

Perjury and statutory rape - that's a pretty impressive resume of felonies. Darryl must be so jealous.

On edit: I forgot about possession of a controlled substance.

[MFS62]

Roger was making up for his teen years.
When he was 15, he was into sheep - literally.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Scandals, bar-rooms, sex with under-age southern trailer-trash, substance abuse, adultery, broken families, reality TV shows, bankruptcy, ... etc.

That's just not a country singer, hell that's a country SONG!!

LOL.......I love it , she'll no doubt tell all now to get publicity for her new show.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's what I'm hoping!

But no matter what she confesses to, Dan Burton won't believe her.

Bad ass!

Usually I try not to delight in other people's woes. But I make an exception for this bat-chucking bastard.

I'm waiting for the "I don't give a rat's ass about her" comment.

Hee hee

[Guest themetfairy]

Perhaps she misremembers....

On Edit - I can't help but think of Debbie, and what her reaction must be. I imagine it being like Bette Midler's when she found out that Danny Devito was cheating on her in Ruthless People.

[Guest Kong76]

Delightfully amazin' how fast this guy's stock has dropped. Dude's got
more alleged skeletons in his closet than Henry Gray.

]McNamee, who worked with and traveled with Clemens extensively over the last decade, has confirmed that he saw Clemens and McCready together on many occasions, including in Clemens' room at his apartment in the former SkyDome, now Rogers Centre, in Toronto, and that Clemens talked of McCready often. Should McNamee decide to countersue for defamation, McCready could surface as a witness for that case as well. According to sources, Clemens was with his Red Sox teammates in a Fort Myers, Fla., bar when then-teenager McCready caught his eye. After Clemens threw a shirt with his and several teammates' signatures onstage, an introduction was made. "It was love at first sight, no doubt about it," said a source with intimate knowledge of the relationship. According to the source, McCready did not learn that Clemens was married to Debbie Clemens until McCready attended a baseball game with her two younger brothers and read Clemens' bio in the program. The source says that McCready was too young to be angered by the news that Clemens was taken.

]Even during her troubles, the sources say Clemens was never far from McCready. Clemens would frequently send bundles of cash in FedEx packages, they say, as she dealt with her legal issues. According to one of the sources, Clemens even reached out to McCready through an intermediary while she was in jail last year, although McCready had cut ties with the Rocket as far back as 2006. Sources say that when McCready, now 32, and Clemens were together, there was barely any friction between them. The two were known to take lavish trips to Las Vegas and New York. One time, McCready attended a Yankees game at the Stadium and jokingly donned a catcher's mask near the home dugout. During another Big Apple excursion, the two holed up in the trendy SoHo Grand and later partied with Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jordan. McCready, according to a source, even bummed a cigar off His Airness to give to Clemens. There were personal love missives to Clemens hidden in McCready's album liner notes. And it wasn't just McCready benefitting from Clemens' generosity. McCready and her brothers used the Rocket's plane for quick hops to to the Florida Keys. Clemens also bought golf clubs for McCready's father, Tim, according to the source with knowledge of the affair. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner's orchestrated public relations blitz began shortly after the Dec. 13 release of the Mitchell Report on drug use in baseball. It focused as much on Clemens' family-man reputation as it did on McNamee's checkered past and apparent lies about his involvement in an incident in Florida in 2001 for which he was investigated for sexual assault. No charges were ever filed in that case, but Clemens' lawyer Hardin papered the media with accounts of the incident. The relationship with McCready paints a very different picture of Clemens than the one drawn by Jose Canseco in his book "Juiced," where he went out of his way to say that Clemens was one of very few professional ballplayers who was faithful to his wife. And it smacks of a different Clemens than the one who spoke passionately of his family in his opening remarks to Congress Feb. 13. Debbie Clemens was seated behind her husband at the hearing. "Anyone who has spent time around me knows that my family is and has always been my top priority," a portion of the statement read. "My wife, Debbie, and my sons - Koby, Kory, Kacy and Kody - mean more to me than anything in the world. Having said that, baseball has definitely provided me with significant opportunities off the field."

Val you tease.............isn't sending bundles of cash via Fed-Ex illegal ?

[Benjamin Grimm]

If for no other reason, Roger Clemens should go to jail for naming his children after Donald Duck's nephews.

And, "partied with Monica Lewinsky and Michael Jordan"? Wow. I can see why he borrowed a cigar from Jordan instead of from Monica...

]There were personal love missives to Clemens hidden in McCready's album liner notes.

That's so a baldfaced attempt to get otherwise uninterested peeps (everybody?) to buy her back catalog.

[Batty31]

"He has never had a sexual relationship with her." Wow...sounds like Bill Clinton...funny Monica was mentioned in the article.

not in and of itself for any reason that i can think of.

[metirish]

Yeah , I have been told it's not illegal just not recommended.

[Batty31]

I have a Fed Ex envelope here....."the maximum declared value allowed for a FedEx Envelope is $500" Then it says "Shipments within the U.S. with a value greater than $500 should not be shipped in this envelope."

[nymr83]

but is that a fed ex rule or a law?

[Guest Kong76]

Large cash gifts are in most cases taxable above a certain amount so if it's
done on the quiet it certainly can be illegal. It's just more stinkiness to an al-
ready pretty stinky story. She's getting money for legal bills or whatever and
can't really put the money into her checking account without sending up all
kinds of red flags so what's she paying off her lawyers or whoever in third
party cash? What does the lawyer do with all that cash? I don't wanna know.

[nymr83]

hookers, booze, bribes...

likely he uses it to pay office expenses, meals, and other things that are generally done in cash. or maybe he just reports the income and lets the chips fall where they will for the other guy.

The greatest crime of all.

I laughed so hard when I read this, and I continued laughing throughout the day. Very good.
