What You Didn't Hear On 60 Minutes: "I'm Addicted To Bingo!"

Jan 3, 2008

"B-12 Is My Fav"

New York - In a poignant exchange with CBS' Mike Wallace that was cut from last Sunday's 60 Minutes interview, Roger Clemens tearfully detailed several moral lapses during his legendary career, including an ongoing addiction to Bingo and recurring lustful thoughts about a particular Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

"I've tried everything I know to do," an emotional Clemens told Wallace, "but I just can't get Bingo out of my life. O-22 and I-21 are good numbers, but I've always been partial to B-12."

On the subect of the unnamed cheerleader, Clemens also struggled to control his emotions. 

"She was hot. What can I tell you?" Clemens said, who, according to one source, "broke down" after the taping.

Clemens also admitted that he "went over the speed limit a few times, but it was many years ago."

 

The subject of the Mitchell Report did not come up until the very end of the interview, when Wallace asked, "So what's all this nonsense about steroids, Rog?"

After a pause, the two old friends broke into laughter.

"That's a good one, MIke!" Clemens boomed.

"I believe you," Wallace answered.
