What a mistarded man. A dimwit, lying, untrustworthy man. Shame on his mother for raising him wrong.

May 5, 2008  06:27 AM ET

Just shut up and go away Roger.

Oh sure, Bond, blame it on his mother. Make an appointment with a psychologist and you can blame everything on your mother, too.

It's the Jason Giambi non-apology apology all over again. I made mistakes, what they are, you aren't allowed to know. But I didn't take steroids or HGH though.....

Roger, don't go away mad, just go away. We can't miss you until you go away.

oh geee, he apologized for not keeping his kibbles and bits on a leash....after he got caught. what a noble man u are roidger!

May 5, 2008  07:41 AM ET

Thanks, Roger.

Now please eat a salad!

May 5, 2008  07:43 AM ET

I blame everything on the mother too..... as in: he's a stupid, arrogant, selfish m*other - f**cker.....

May 5, 2008  07:50 AM ET

he should do another 60 Minutes interview.

May 5, 2008  07:50 AM ET

I can't believe that he trotted out the "mistake's were made" boilerplate apology..... I want him to do a Jimmy Swaggart with Barbara damnit!! Debbie, his loyal wife at his side with a fake smile holding his hand..... can you imagine the ratings for that!

May 5, 2008  08:10 AM ET

Everybody...and I do mean everybody is lying. Everyone is out to get him...its so unfair...he did not have sex with that 15 year old, and ALL of the accusers are lying...

AT THE SAME TIME.

Yeah EFN right. I am really getting sick of him. He's a spoiled, cocky, arrogant sumbitch that needs a lesson and unfortunately only the feds can give it to him. So lets hope they nail his roid-infested **** to the WALL.

Roger's "apology to his family:"

"Sorry Deb. What's for dinner??"

He's just a family man trying to salvage his unfairly-damaged reputation. Ok, so he may have lied about that "family man" thing... and a few other things... but he's being totally honest when he says he didn't do PEDs. Seriously!

May 5, 2008  08:19 AM ET

You can lie to your wife and children and fans and friends and bosses and teammates but...you can't lie to Congress, Roger...that gets you jail time!!!

May 5, 2008  08:21 AM ET

You can lie to your wife and children and fans and friends and management and teammates bot... you can't lie to Congress...you go to jail for that!!!

May 5, 2008  08:26 AM ET

So boinking a 15 year old girl is a "mistake"?

May 5, 2008  08:37 AM ET

Roger, as the saying goes, you are up shitz creek without a paddle

only if your an athlete, rock star, politician or actor. otherwise you'd be a level 3 sex offender.

May 5, 2008  08:39 AM ET

Good post QO'C...This guy's a complete tool. His family is probably devestated by this admission but he still has to mention that he's not admitting to PEDs.....Screw the family but save the legacy!

Look up 'low-life' in the dictionary and you see a picture of Roger.
