N.Y. Daily News: Brian McNamee Crashes Car in Queens

Roger Clemens’ former trainer Brian McNamee smashed his Lexus into a city bus in Queens yesterday after blacking out behind the wheel, authorities said.

McNamee was heading westbound on Central Ave. near Beach 11th St. in Far Rockaway when he rear-ended another car and careened into the bus head-on around 12:30 p.m., cops said.

The former Yankees trainer who confessed to providing performance-enhancing drugs to some of the biggest names in baseball told cops he fainted from his diabetes and then “woke up in front of a bus.”

Which was just above Roger Clemens who was under the bus…

Aha! This proves...

Meh. I just don't have it in me.

Indeed, a Lexus?

No, no, it's more of a train wreck. Good try, though.

Wait till Eliot Spitzer gets side-swiped by a taxi next week.

Troubles? Clarence Carter can tell McNamee and Spitzer about some real troubles.

Steroids and HGH wasn't enough for him. He had to start mixing in his 'slin.

Spitzer's problems arose from a "Strokin'" situation.

It would take Spitzer spending ten years in a Turkish prison before his lot is worse than McNamee's. I mean, at least the bare ass which fomented Spitzer's downfall was worth risking his reputation over.

How true. With some of these bozos, anything with hair and a hole will do.

Well, let's not go crazy. He's not a farmer, after all.

Bruno wouldn't let him visit the ranch.

And you're underselling her. Some people's thing is the "Trashy Long Island" look, and I think if that's what you're looking for, that whore is the kind of whore worth risking your career for.

That's not even my thing and I'd love to take a shot at her.
   18. Jolly Old St. Nick (now, with Screen Name history) Posted: March 21, 2008 at 11:44 AM (#2717050)
I dunno, Cowboy, she looks like she could be Man Hands's kid sister.

At least McNamee was apparently unable to back up and go over him again...

McNamee from the taped Clemens phone call.

I don't have any money. I have nothing.

...

I've got a car that doesn't work.

...

I have nothing

More McNamee ########...

For free maybe, or the cost of a reasonably priced dinner, but several thousand dollars? Pass.

No, not for several thousand dollars. I'd give her a date, maybe two if I were feeling bad about myself to put out. It would be hard to wait any longer for a (former?) whore. But at this point, she's ruined, and will be a Carlos Lee, way overpaid for what she is, from here on out.

So what's with the farmer comment?

Do explain. I am sure it is based on your vast knowledge and deep understanding of the agrarian lifestyle.
   24. Slinger Francisco Barrios (Dr. Memory) Posted: March 21, 2008 at 12:15 PM (#2717075)
Right on! We're good to go!

Because it's so hard to find nekkid pichers of good lookin' wimmen.

I deleted my comment due to tastelessness even by my tawdry standards.

Besides, I spent too many summers working on farms--I'm also worried that Harv' would kick my non beast-of-burden ass for a gag at his chosen profession.

On top of all that ... I happen to be very fond of Amish folks--although my joke had nothing to do with the Amish they are almost always farm folk (and damned good neighbours).

If anybody was unfortunate enough to read my bit of synpatic flatulence I apologize.

Best Regards

Roger Clemens taught Brian McNamee how to raise his kids, and Tony LaRussa taught Brian McNamee how to drive.

Here's the link to the story. Not much of a surprise at how her career trajectory proceeded

Spitzer gal was 17 in ‘Girls Gone Wild’ video

I guess a prostitute is the very definition of Replacement Level for a married man.

John:

I am breaking down pretty quickly. Few years back I could still do 50 pushups as part of my morning routine and shoot my .22 handgun left-handed with solid range accuracy.

Now I am down to 30 and my left hand shakes like a son of a b#tch.

Getting old has its nuisances.

One time I had to help out an Amish biz from King of Schukillhaven Kutztown Prussia or someplace...with their busted oxy/acty equip (don't ask).

There wasn't a sniff of a moist Kelly McGillis about...alas, all hex/no sex.

Had to raise your own barn, did you?

Aw, everyone knows you have to go Mennonite if you want kicks.

Aw, everyone knows you have to go Mennonite if you want kicks.


I've been practicing law for over nine years, and in that time the absolute toughest case I've ever had was representing a park district against three Mennonite farmers. Short version: my client thought they owned a disused railway line that had been given to us by CSX, and which ran adjacent to the Mennonites' property. We planned to build one of those rails-to-trails nature trails that everyone (except Mennonite famers) love.

For a year the Mennonites littered and blocked the railbed with trailers, old farm equipment, and anything else you could think of, preventing my client from getting much work done. When we sued to make them stop, they counterclaimed with what was (given our particular facts) a total BS claim that the land was really theirs because of some 1849 deeds, the promises of long dead elders and railway men, and God's Will. They managed to rally a lot of support by telling the community that nature trails are hotbeds of crime, sin, and fornicating cityfolk. The judge -- who is elected in Ohio -- got a little nervous and began to prod us into settling our claim.

My client wasn't in the mood for a PR war or protracted litigation, so we ended up buying them off and the trail eventually went through. I've never been on that trail, but last I heard, the Mennonites put up new signs every month telling the trail's users that they're going to burn in hell for various reasons.

Fun folks.

Heh, good story.

The Amish have the holier-than-thou thing going on in a big way, too. Obviously.

Any Amish that want to reply may do so. I'm ready for you!

Well ... pretty much any denomination has their fair share of those.
