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

According to Mike and Mike, McCready confirmed the romantic relationship in today's Daily News. A day after Clemens' scumbag lawyer denied that it ever happened.

I'm looking forward to the story they break about Clemens killing and eating puppies and kittens and then burning down day care centers and dry humping nuns and orphans. Keep it coming!

How about transporting a minor? My word, this is ugly.

Thanks guys. Nothing's funny like taboo profanity used repeatedly and idiotically.

Country singer Mindy McCready isn't challenging the New York Daily News story that said she had a relationship with Roger Clemens as a teen-ager.

"I cannot refute anything in the story," McCready told the Daily News in a story posted on its Web site Monday. "I have known Roger Clemens for a long time," she said, without detailing the nature of their relationship.

Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, confirmed the pitcher and singer had known each other for a long time but told the newspaper there was no sex.

"At no time did Roger engage in any kind of inappropriate or improper relationship with her," Hardin said in a statement Monday. "It is unfortunate that the Daily News has chosen to report anonymous allegations that are completely unfounded, have no basis in fact, and have nothing to do with Roger's baseball career or the issue of steroid use in baseball."

The News' original story, which appeared on the newspaper's Web site Sunday night and in editions Monday, quoted several people who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.

Clemens was 28 and a married father of two when he first met McCready, the newspaper reported.

Today, the AP is reporting that:

In its story Monday night, sources told the News that McCready went with Clemens to his hotel room in Fort Myers, Fla., after their first meeting but that they did not have sex. The relationship turned intimate after she later moved to Nashville and became a country star, the paper said.

The story could undermine Clemens' reputation, which is central to the defamation suit the former pitcher has filed against former personal trainer Brian McNamee. McNamee contends Clemens used performance-enhancing substances during his major league career.

"If the case heads to trial and is not dismissed, as we feel it should be, we will be calling (McCready) as a witness," McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, told the News.

The newspaper said Clemens sent cash to McCready to help her with legal issues and reached out to her when she was in jail last year in Tennessee. Clemens sometimes sent her amounts of $25,000, the paper said.

The 32-year-old McCready was sentenced last September for violating probation from a 2004 drug arrest and was released from jail last Dec. 30. The violation occurred in July when McCready was accused of scuffling with her mother and resisting arrest at her mother's home in Fort Myers, Fla. She still must serve two years' probation.

The News-Press in Fort Myers reported on Monday that McCready's mother confirmed her daughter's long-term relationship with Clemens, but believes the relationship is strictly platonic.

McCready's Nashville-based management consultant, John Dotson, told The Tennessean Monday that McCready is in the middle of cutting a record, and also is in negotiations to do a reality show.

Wallace Matthews DEFENDS Clemans.

15 is the new 30???

He was uncomfortable doing it? Then why defend him at all?

If this were't so filthy, Hardin would crack me up.

Can the POTUS pardon somebody prospectively (ie before a conviction)?

The way things are going, this is likely to be Ro-ger's only way out. .

Is there a statute of limitations on statutory rape? If he did have sex with her when she was 15, that was 17 years ago. Can he still be prosecuted? I seem to remember that there is a statute of limitations from the priest abuse scandals, wasn't there?

[Guest themetfairy]

All joking aside, Mindy McCready has led a pretty messed up life. You have to figure that being used like that by an older, married man contributed to the train wreck that her life has become.

Quote du jour, courtesy of Wally -

]Then again, to believe a 28-year-old man could strike up a platonic 10-year friendship with a winsome 15-year-old is kind of like believing the only member of the Clemens family to use HGH was Roger's wife, Debbie.

Typically, crimes do not have a limitation period. At least, not in the UK or in my jurisdiction. If she wanted to hit him up for damages, that's a different story.

[batmagadanleadoff]

My understanding is that only the very harshest crimes do not have statutes of limitations. Murder has no statute of limitations. Statutory rape Statute(s) of Limitations vary from State to State.

Didn't see that spin coming. Poor winsome thing.

[Guest silverdsl]

Clemens is a scumbag and Wallace Matthews is an asshat for trying to justify a romance between a 15-year old and a 28-year old. Even if there was no sex when she was 15, and I have a hard time believing that, a romance between a 15-year old and a 28-year old is still wrong. There is nothing to excuse or make this kind of relationship acceptable, imo.

[metirish]

PLJ are right now doing a great song skit about Clemens to the tune of Marc Cohen's "Walking in Memphis" ...........

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm going to opt not to tune in.

I have no problem seeing her as a victim.

[Farmer Ted]

Perhaps the reason Mindy McCready is so messed up IS Roger Clemens.

Some are saying she's a whack job, led a messed up life, blah blah blah. Throw that narcissistic bastard into the middle of a star-gazed 15 year old's life, have him lead her on for 10 years, and see what kind of path she ultimately follows when he's no longer putting her in the spotlight, jetting her around the country, or sending her money (for whatever reason).

But he still has a personal services contract with the Astros.

Yeah, that was a tad callous on my part ... it's just that we all new girls when
we were 15 who were fast for their age than others. We called them sluts back
then, I don't know what they call them now.

I think I saw her on "Cops" one night , I wonder if she has been booked for Larry King yet.

I know them now. And I knew enough not to take advantage of them when I was 28, what with my jets and money and whatnot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I know nothing about country music. (If he wasn't Tug's son, I probably wouldn't know who Tim McGraw was.)

But what about this Mindy McCready? How well known is she? Have any of us heard of her before this Clemens connection? Is she a star, or a fringe celebrity?

That was the point I was trying to make in my precaffeinated state.

I'm not going to try to make her into St. Mindy or anything. But starting an affair with a married man while she should have been in chemistry class had to have had a negative effect on her life.

BG - Wikipedia can provide you with the ugly details of Mindy's drug problem.

I think Rogers is a country music fan , what's the scoop Stevo?

And he's a Yankees fan too, so he should be able to cover both sides of this story.

According to Wikipedia, this was Mindy's biggest song. It was #1 on the country charts in 1996 -

AG: >>>I knew enough not to take advantage of them when I was 28, what with my jets and money and whatnot<<<

Yeah, ya made your point. I already admitted I was a little out of line.

Also wouldn't be the first time a slutty 15 year old may have passed herself
off as a slutty 19 year old to get a ride in the fast lane but I don't want to
digress much further on the slut in question.
