World Series champion Roger Clemens addressed the recent conviction of Ryan Wesley Routh, who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump last September, on Tuesday.
During an interview on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show,” Clemens was asked about his reaction to news that Routh was found guilty on all charges for the attempted assassination.
“You just take a big deep breath,” Clemens said. “I still shake my head from not to long ago when, in Pennsylvania, they let a crazy man into a rally with a golf range finder. I mean I just shake my head at this stuff. Like, why are you going into a rally with a golf range finder?”

Clemens, an open Trump supporter who has befriended the president and played golf with him in the past, reacted to the fact that Routh attempted to assassinate Trump on a golf course while the president was playing.
“When we golfed with him last in Virginia, the president hit the ball beautifully, but it’s a little intense when you have 30 golf carts and you have SWAT teams and Secret Service all around you,” Clemens said.
“I love him. The reason I voted for him is because he’s no-nonsense, common sense, and no-nonsense. I love that about him.”

Clemens encouraged Americans who may not agree with Trump to still root for his success, comparing the views of those people to his view of former President Barack Obama.
“I didn’t vote for [Obama], but once he became our president, I was rooting for him to do something well for us, and that’s the way I always feel people should come together,” Clemens said.
Jurors on Tuesday delivered a guilty verdict for Routh on all charges after he attempted to assassinate Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club last September.

Routh, 59, was charged on five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses.
After the verdict was read, Routh reportedly appeared to try to stab himself in the neck with a pen before four U.S. Marshals restrained him.

Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett is on the verge of NFL history, as he is just a half-sack away from tying the single-season record set by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan and Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt.
Garrett, 29, said it would be “special” to break the record by sacking Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“It’d be special. He’s legendary himself. And it’s a legendary record I’m out here chasing. So that’d be a great one to put a picture on the wall with,” Garrett said at a press conference Friday.

Rodgers is quick to get the ball out, and Garrett said it’s important to take away his easy reads.
“Gotta take away those easy access throws, make him look at his second read, and he’s gotta keep rushing. There’ll be (opportunities) if we continue to get stops during the game, and he can’t continue to lean on those quick passes, when you gotta score points,” Garrett said.
The Browns, who are 3-12, play the Steelers at home on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Steelers would clinch the AFC North and a playoff spot with a win over the Browns.

Garrett hopes the Browns play spoiler, so if he sets the record on Sunday, he would do it in a win.
“Yeah, I just play. I want to get it, and you know, like I said, I want to win while doing it. And I think we have the guys who are locked in who want to do that as well,” Garrett said.
The seven-time Pro Bowler said there is no pressure that comes with the record looming.

“Pressure? Nah, no pressure. Like I said, it’s going down. So, I’m not stressed or worried about if I’m going to get it. Just a matter of when,” Garrett said.
Garrett has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The four-time All-Pro has an astounding 124.5 sacks in 132 career games.

Giants star Malik Nabers pokes fun at own season-ending injury, fantasy football in hilarious commercial
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The NFL’s regular season is ending soon, which means that fantasy football seasons are also coming to a close.
But while the season may be ending, the fantasy football punishments are only just beginning. For the player who finishes in last place, one common punishment is that they have to spend 24 hours in a bar, or at an IHOP eating pancakes.
New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers was drafted in the first round by many players, but the second-year wide receiver tore his ACL in Week 4. The Giants certainly missed him in the lineup, as did a lot of fantasy football players, whose teams looked a lot different without Nabers.

Nabers and IHOP partnered to make a hilarious commercial, which made fun of his injury and the impact it had on fantasy football players.
“Every year, thousands of fantasy football leagues make their last-place team spend 24 hours at IHOP eating pancakes,” Nabers said.
A waitress then interrupted and said, “Just like you helped everyone’s fantasy team this season?”

Nabers was eating pancakes, with his crutches next to him, when a kid walked up and asked the Giants star if it was actually him.
After Nabers confirmed it was himself, the kid yelled, “I wasted my first-round pick on you!”
The 22-year-old was on his way to making his second season look a lot like his rookie season. As a rookie, Nabers had 109 receptions for 1,204 yards with seven touchdowns.

Nabers set the record for most catches ever by a rookie wide receiver. In four games before tearing his ACL, the former LSU star had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy owners who draft Nabers next season hope that he will regain his form and that they will avoid last place.
