Senator irked at NFL over Spygate stance
Posted: Friday May 09, 2008 05:25AM ET
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who has been a vocal critic of the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, called a false start against the league yesterday. Specter isn't satisfied with the NFL's early stance regarding the eight videotapes that former Patriots employee Matt Walsh turned over to the league yesterday. "I think it is very unfortunate that the NFL has already started its 'nothing new' spin before watching the tapes or finding out what Mr. Matt Walsh has to say," Specter said in a written statement. "Let's see where the evidence leads." Walsh is scheduled to meet with Goodell Tuesday in New York, then will travel to Washington to huddle with Specter later that day.

Report Offensive CommentStop criticizing the Pats. Their fans are still in a very precarious mental state.

I think he means unstable.

Report Offensive CommentNo, I believe I meant precarious. Your #3 definition would be the most appropriate.
Oh, and it's she.

Clemens deserves it!!
He should just shut his trap but he doesn't.
You see all of the other players implicated in PED'S yaking away??
Heck, even Barry Bonds knows enough to shut the heck up!!
Barry was going to sue and then thought better of it!

When you team is the winning half of one of the great Super Bowls ever it kind of comes naturally. It is a tad hypocritical for a Pats fan to say that though when you know it could easily be you gloating about being fans of the second undefeated team. Maybe not you yourself but you know damn well Pats fans would still be gloating, especially directed at Dolphins fans.

Report Offensive CommentThe Senator is just posturing so he doesn't look any worse. He took a hard line stance on something that he has no clue about and it burned him. Since Goodell and the league has already stated that there was nothing new produced Spector can now say conspiracy till the day he dies, which maybe soon at his age.

I was born in Arkansas. Thank you for your definition of Precarious - what would i do without your pearls of wisdom? Oh, wait a minute, you're just a genius in your own mind.
Never mind!

Report Offensive CommentHmmm... the Senator wants a witch hunt and will throw tantrums in the media until he gets one. It's an awe-inspiring example of our elected leaders at work, don't you think?
All the best,
