Interesting story over at ESPN.COM about Brian McNamee and the advanced warning he apparently gave Roger Clemens before the Mitchell Report came out.

Transcripts of two conversations between McNamee and representatives for Clemens and Pettitte provide new context to the strange and contentious saga that has erupted since Clemens was named in the Mitchell report on Dec. 13. The transcripts show McNamee painting a picture of himself as a friend trying to help Clemens despite warnings from government officials and former Sen. George Mitchell’s investigators not to talk to anyone before the steroids report is released.

Just so we’re clear: I’m fairly certain all of this happened after McNamee was made privy to other documents normally marked private.

Then again, that could have been before AND after. Who knows these days?
