I like your detailed examination of whether the Clemens interview can give McNamee enough ammunition for a credible defamation suit, and I agree with your conclusion. McNamee’s camp made the defamation threat to make their guy look more credible. It’s much more likely that the Clemens/McNamee controversy will play out in the media and not in court. At least that’s the angle I was interested in when I wrote about Clemens’ media strategy. If you’d like another take on the issue, I blogged at http://www.beaupre.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/1/3/The-Rockets-steady-glare.

It will be fun watching Roger give his “testimony” but the court of public opinion already has cast a fair amount of ballots and in the end it really doesn’t matter what he says now or in the future to most people, unless he’s giving a legal deposition or testifying under oath. I think even the most avid Clemens supporter has to believe his length of service to MLB was not just God-given. I don’t believe it would serve either party to sue, regardless of what’s said from here on out.
