Neither scenario is favorable to Lindsley. If he was in charge of the details, he screwed up. If he wasn't, then the people working with him must not have liked working with him very much.
And, while we're at it, what the heck kind of follow-up question is this?
Spencer: Well, I got a text today from a friend saying that he heard me on ESPN Radio and I said, “well that is interesting.” I thought it was a replay and that, so we kind of played back and forth a little bit. And he said some stuff that absolutely made no sense and then he sent me a link and I told him the last time I did an ESPN Radio interview was probably last summer.
And so, now all of a sudden he shows me the link and I start listening to the link and I probably didn’t get one minute into it and obviously I could tell that wasn’t me by the voice. And then I just started talking about me actually doing steroids which I was appalled and outraged and you obviously got a phone call back from me this afternoon.
It’s just very disappointing that someone would call in and use my name and put down my former friends and, you know, pretty much are teammates that are practically my family coming up through the Yankee organization. I’m just disappointed that it even came to this. And I’ve been here the last couple hours here with Mark, one of the guys helping me through all this stuff right now, and getting my name out there and trying to clear everything up.
It’s unfortunate, you know, it’s embarrassing. It really is embarrassing. Not only am I very upset that my name is out there because I am here working in New Jersey. I do a lot of stuff at Yankee Stadium, I work with kids, I’m a good role model and to see how this might affect me is very disappointing and I’m going to make sure that I clear my name out.
Lindsley: Okay Shane, is there anything else based on what you heard from the person who said that you used steroids, and don’t assume anything about guys like Rivera and Jeter. And anything about Roger Clemens?
