Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right.Uh, what? I didn't understand this approach when Jason Giambi used it, and I don't understand it now. Like, why are you sorry? You made mistakes and have flaws. So what? As you correctly note, so does everyone else. That's the whole "being human" thing in action. Seriously, if this is the entire story, then there's no need for apologies.
As it stands, Clemens sounds like a guy desperately fearful of telling the truth. His statement reminds me of something Angela from The Office once said:

At the very least, it might make you seem a little more human. Last time I checked, that's not a bad thing...
