Some highlights from today's congressional hearing featuring Roger Clemens.

On Brian McNamee, his former trainer who told investigators he injected Clemens with HGH and steroids:

Clemens: “McNamee was good at what he did helping me exercise, diet, and stay in shape. We shared an interest in grueling, military-style workouts, but I never asked him nor did he ever give me steroids or human growth hormone. I had no idea that this man would exploit the trust I gave him to try to save his own skin by making up lies that have devastated me and my family.”

On Clemens' discussions with Andy Pettitte about using HGH:

Rep. Elijah Cummings: "So you did not tell Mr. Pettitte you used Human Growth Hormone?"

Clemens: "I did not."

Rep. Elijah Cummings: "Mr. Clemens, do you think Mr. Pettitte was lying when he told this committee you admitted using Human Growth Hormone?"

Clemens: "Andy Pettitte is my friend. He was my friend before this. He'll be my friend after this. And again, I think he has misheard."

Rep. Elijah Cummings: "What possible reason would Mr. Pettitte have to fabricate a statement about you, his friend?"

Clemens: "Andy would have no reason to."

Clemens also testified that he spoke to Pettitte about a TV show where older people used HGH and felt better, so maybe that was where the confusion arose. Um, we don't think so, Roger.
