Specter done with Spygate

U.S. Senator Arlen Specter suggested in an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News that he may be done looking into the New England Patriots’ practice of videotaping their opponents.

In the interview, Specter said, “I’ve gone as far as I can,” on the issue, and he doesn’t expect to call hearings or take matters further because the Senate Judiciary Committee already has “too much to do.”

If Specter is done pushing the Spygate issue, then the Spygate issue appears to be over. The NFL has long since said it’s ready to move on, and Specter was the last high-profile figure still pursuing the matter.

That doesn’t mean Specter thinks sports leagues should be outside the purview of United States Senators, though. He also told the Daily News that taxpayers should not have to pay for stadium construction for NFL owners.

Now he should launch an investigation into why McNabb is such a choking baby.

I guess any further effort to really find out what Belicheat was up to is now dead. RIP.

Finally.

Its done.
Because it has to be done.

Not because it should be done.

There is a real shame in this. Its the equivalent to a cheater who wins the Gold medal(but when caught... they lose the medal). The playoff teams that lost to the Pats and the SB losers get nothing... no Sillver medal - nothing.


If I were the Eagles(never won SB and may have had that one) - I would be pissed.

If I were the Panthers(new franchise and may have won that one) - I would be pissed.

If I were the Rams(poised to win back to back SB's - may have won that one) - I would be pissed.


Just glad it didnt happen to us... Glad(as much as I hate to say it) the Giants won against us and beat the Pats in SB. We would not have beat them with the team we had last year.

I agree. And the old adage that "cheaters never win" is of course BS, and in the NFL they "win big".

Shame that this was swept under the rug. The NFL will just see more creative ways of cheating....

As far as I am concerned....

Belichick didnt accomplish anything until he cheated.
(with Browns he didnt win anything & when he didnt cheat he lost a SB).

THAT clouds ANY accolades he may or may not deserve.

Dorothy and gang have looked behind the curtain.... there is no Wizard.

 

[Vintage]

Good. Now maybe Spygate will finally die!

 

[tyke1doe]

Finally.

I agree.

I didn't think Specter's carping would amount to much anyway. It was merely designed to take advantage of the Super Bowl media crunch.

And now that the Pats have lost the Super Bowl, there's really nothing more that can be, or should be, done.

Justice has been served.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

good....for the good of the game.....let's move forward.

 

[percyhoward]

You mean for the good of the league.

Because the game of football is strong enough to withstand that guy getting kicked out of the NFL.

Sounds like Mr. Kraft made it rain at the Specter residence.

Priceless.

I am seeing the "made it rain" comment more and more. In this case maybe true but it is funny....

Yeah, the "Make it rain" comment has definately been on overkill for a while. I'm ashamed that I used it.

I just couldn't resist, though. :

What are you talking about? Belichick never filmed the Rams, Panthers, or Eagles. Maybe the teams he actually did film should be pissed off but don't just make stuff up.
