Putting out an APB for titles and characters...





If this isn't the script for Will Ferrell's next movie, I'll be deeply dissapointed. A big-time Athlete who loves himself, comes across as charitable and influential, but doomed to his own anger-driven ego. A big-time baseball player from Texas who juiced up to prolong his overdue retirement, b/c he was so full of himself he couldn't imagine himself anywhere but in the spotlight, yet ironically this same ego drags him into a congressional hearing where he procedes to "set the record straight". And when it is overwhelmingly obvious he has been found a liar, he procedes to leave capital hill saying "boy..we sure told dem' didn't we boys". The climactic scene would be the Clemens Character charging the desk in rage threating to "open up a can" on somebody. Of course when everything goes down bad, Debby will leave for the now rich McNamee. It's just too perfect.

Nominations for Movie Titles:
- "Flex, Lies, and Audiotape"
- "Who Framed Roger Clemens?"
- "I'm Gonna MRI Your Ass!


Nominations for Clemen's Character: I would of course love Will Ferrell, but maybe he should just direct this film. My front-runner would be "David Puddy"....but only if he sits in the hearings with the blank stare he had on the plane with Elaine.

Nomination for McNamee's Character: Adam Sandler comes to mind with his ability to solidly impersonate the true NY accent.














Nominations for Clemen's Wife: This has to be some chick who is attractive, but definitely is a bit scarry. Maybe Helga from American Gladiators or that blonde gal who was a trainer on "the biggest loser".












Nominations for Chairman Waxman: Is that guy one of the funniest looking people you've ever seen? Not an exact look-a-like, but the short bald guy from "The Princess Bride" would be perfect. Can't you see him questioning Clemens while slobbering all over the desk.












Nominations for Andy Pettite: Ben Affleck, I think it would be funny to see him have a can opened up on him after he narked on Clemens. Also, it would be great to see him have to wear Yankees gear.








...We can read ESPN or C-Span for a true analysis of this event, but here we just need some more ideas for this movie.

I got pumped when the Chairman brought up the nanny and how Clemens had invited her to his home before the feds could talk to her. It's the only part I saw and I was getting super pumped for some reason. I just wish one major star athlete would get justly punished.

Let's not forget Michael Vick....what if both Roger Clemens and Vick are in the same Federal Pen?

Vick-Clemens as Cell-mates in the sequel, or a reality TV show of "The Longest Yard"
