Roger Clemens is having a tough time maintaining his former clean image as the hits seem to just keep going in his direction. Several sources revealed to the New York Daily News on Wednesday that Clemens had an affair with Paulette Dean Daly, former wife of PGA golfer John Daly. The sources for the Daily News allege that Clemens, a married father of four, arranged trips to Anaheim Stadim for Daly to watch him pitch for the Yankees against the Angels. It’s also suggested that he spent time with her in Palm Springs.

Yesterday, Daly said:

“Yeah, I’ve known Roger quite a while and we are friends.”

While Daly didn’t elaborate on their relationship, she also didn’t deny any allegations of a romantic relationship which included financial support.

Daly only said:

“You know what, I’m really uncomfortable talking about this. I’m just going to have to say, ‘No comment.’ I know Roger. I consider him a good friend. That’s all I’m comfortable saying.”

Unfortunately for Clemens, his flawed past is coming to light, which legal experts suggest is inevitable for anyone pursuing a defamation case because a successful injury claim depends on an undamaged reputation.

Ouch. It must suck to be Roger Clemens right now. He and Rob Lowe should go out for a drink and commiserate with one another.
