Now, though, he can't stop talking: on his website, to Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes and in a press conference that Clemens called, then stormed out of. All these were warm-up pitches for the Rocket's next big game, in front of a congressional committee on Feb. 13. McNamee has also been called to testify...
