Rusty Trombone’s Brass Balls

Roger Clemens’ Lawyer Hardin Files Motion to Keep Defamation Trial in Texas

In a move that merely adds to the nonsense that is Roger Clemens, his lawyer Rusty (Trombone) Hardin filed documents in a Houston courtroom attempting to reject two motions by Brian McNamee, to throw out the defamation case or have it heard in New York.

Hardin claimed that the former trainer’s statements “did cause their greatest harm to Clemens in Texas,” which probably caused U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison to lose his lunch. The only harm it may have caused the ex-pitcher was to uncover the lies that he had been spinning all along.

The crux of the civil suit is that Clemens’ side has to convince the jury that he never used any performance-enhancing drugs and McNamee’s version “harmed Clemens’ reputation.” In the event that a group of people even less educated than the O.J. Simpson jurors can be gathered together will be the only chance that Clemens has to be believed that he never used any PEDs. Regardless of what state the case is held in, that will be highly unlikely.
