Rodney King Beats Police Officer

I wonder if he used any performance enhancing drugs like PCP this time?

It's been 18 years since African-American Rodney King was brutally beaten by white LAPD cops, whose acquittal in the incident sparked race riots in Los Angeles.

But King, 44, famous for asking, "Can't we all just get along?" got his vengeance Friday in the boxing ring.

King was the unanimous winner in a three-round celebrity boxing match against retired Police Officer Simon Aouad, 31, outside Philadelphia.

"We had offers from everyone -- Joey Buttafuoco to John Wayne Bobbitt -- wanting to fight Rodney King," said fight promoter Damon Feldman. "We received over 5,000 e-mails after we announced the fight. Simon was a police officer for two years, that's why we picked him."

King was paid $5,000 to fight in the bout at the Philadelphia Airport Ramada Inn, said Feldman. The match drew a crowd of about 500 boxing fans.

To prep for his big win, King trained in his hometown of Los Angeles by sparring, hitting the bags and jumping rope, said Feldman.

King's next foray in the squared circle is scheduled for November, and will take place in Los Angeles against former Oakland A's outfielder Jose Conseco.

Not to be confused with former A's outfielder Jose Canseco. Should be a real draw.

Clemens a Real Boob

The legal woes continue to mount for Roger Clemens.

The New York Times reported on Monday that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has drafted a letter recommending that the Justice Department launch a criminal investigation into whether Clemens committed perjury during his testimony on Feb. 13.

Citing three lawyers familiar with the matter, the newspaper said that Clemens' accuser, Brian McNamee, was not included in the letter, prompting speculation that the committee has concluded that the trainer's testimony was truthful.

I know that since this report is coming form the New York Times it is very suspect, but if the Old Grey Hag managed to accidentally report this accurately, Mr. Clemens may have a very rocky 2008 ahead of him. It's not a good thing to have congress send the Department of Justice after you. As Martha Stewart found out in her insider trading case, judges don't like you lying about your activities to investigators.

Does anybody really think the Mrs. Clemens was taking HGH but not the Rocket? From the same trainer?

Maybe the prison team has an opening for a starting right hander.

Speaking of Mrs. Clemens, that party at Jose Canseco's house that her husband denied being at? Well, it appears Debbie Clemens and Canseco's then-wife Jessica were comparing boob jobs at said party.

Congress is believed to have received new evidence over the past 10 days that may further undermine Roger Clemens' sworn testimony that he did not attend a suddenly notorious 1998 party at Jose Canseco's South Florida home.

The Daily News has learned that in the days since the Feb. 13 public hearing on steroids in baseball, another major leaguer has informed congressional investigators that Clemens often joked in the clubhouse about a memorable account of the party - a scene in which Debbie Clemens and Canseco's ex-wife Jessica compared the results of their surgical breast enhancements.

The new revelation adds to the probability that Congress will make a criminal referral of the matter to the Justice Department, which lawyers on both sides have told the News was always a likelihood.

Care to retract that story, Rog?
