Testify my brother: Roger Clemens on the hot-seat in front of Congress

I'll be honest, the "Rocket", Roger Clemens has brass. I once wrote (regarding the steroids issue and Roger Clemens) that it is a whole different ball-game when you talk to a reporter and then go and try to sell that same line, under oath and in front of a Congressional panel. But Clemens is sticking to his guns. What do we get from this story: Clemens loves America-willing to sign autographs and hand out "Uh-Merica"-rally-towels but only willing to pitch when he was 110% ready to represent "Uh-Merica". Second, Clemens can name drop with the best of them-"I was sitting in a deer stand, when the former President (assuming George H.W. Bush) found me. And called me to give his support."

Here's other "highlights" from Roger Clemens testimony in front of Congress (Feb.13, 2008). Courtesy of ESPN. And what do you learn from this-don't f-with Congress.

Etta James on ACL tonight!

Jazz matriarch and legend Etta James will be on Austin City Limits tonight! Born Jamesette Hawkins in Los Angeles on January 25th 1938, James influenced countless female artists from Tina Turner to Janis Joplin. A soulful singer who fought a rough life filled with drug addictions and the assorted racism of the 50's and 60's, James knows how to bring down the house and I tell you, "I'd rather be a blind girl than to see her go". Enjoy this clip with her and Dr. John.
