Clemens is on the Hill

Roger Clemens took to a different kind of hill Tuesday -- Capitol Hill.

The right-hander gave a five-hour deposition to members of Congress regarding his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Frankly, as I've said before on this blog, I'm sick of baseball and steroids. More to the point, I'm sick of baseball dragging itself through the proverbial mud while other sports get a free ride.

Take the NFL. In a bit of poetic justice, New England's Rodney Harrison, who was suspended this year for proven HGH use, was beaten by New York's David Tyree for perhaps the greatest Super Bowl catch in history during Sunday's game.

This is the same Harrison who dodged questions all week about how differently he was treated than some of the Major League Baseball players who have been implicated by the Mitchell Report.

Makes me sick.
