The congressional hearing involving Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and former trainer Brian McNamee was postponed Wednesday, The Associated Press learned.

 

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was informing witnesses that the Jan. 16 session will be pushed back, a lawyer involved in the hearing told the AP.

 

The lawyer spoke on condition of anonymity because the postponement had not yet been formally announced.

 

Plans are still in place for the Jan. 15 hearing before the same committee about the Mitchell Report on baseball's Steroids Era. The witnesses that day are commissioner Bud Selig, union leader Donald Fehr and former Senate majority leader George Mitchell, the report's author.

I'm surprised no one is commenting on this. Apparently this is big enough news for ESPN MVP to send me an update alert on my cell phone in the middle an informal job interview. Jackarses

 

you shouldn't take your phone to job interviews.

Nothing wrong with bringing it, but you should turn off the ringer.

That's a little silly. How do you get home? Park your car? You shouldn't lug a bunch of nonsense around, but there's no reason why you can't have your phone with you, assuming it fits in a pocket almost unnoticed.

that's just it...i was told you should leave your phone rather than put it in your pants pocket to stick out like a sore thumb.

 

i never understood the keys part...i also never said it wasn't a little silly, heh.

That's what suit jackets are for (not to mention phones that don't stick out like a sore thumb).

not everyone wears a suit jacket to an interview..i've only worn one once and i was definitely over-dressed when i saw what the people in the office were wearing.

 

this advice was given several years ago...they didn't make little phones back then.

Looks like this delay is not good news for those who will testify. This from Lester Munson.

 

The bipartisan decisions to postpone the hearing from Jan. 16 until Feb. 13. and to take sworn testimony from each witness in advance are clear indications that the committee will be digging deeply into the evidence gathered for the Mitchell report and other steroid-related investigations.

 

Clemens and the others will each now face two to three hours of interrogation from attorneys on the committee staff. Clemens, Andy Pettitte and Chuck Knoblauch will be faced with questions that the players and their union have refused to answer until now. Although the players will have their own attorneys at their sides, the questions can, and likely will, go far beyond the material in the Mitchell report.

 

Funny thing is if Clemens would have just kept his mouth shut this would have never happened.
