Arlen Specter Not Impressed

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty of Spygate at this point.  While the NFL is ready to close the case, Senator Arlen Specter would like to open a full congressional investigation into the Patriots spy scandal.  Specter is afraid that the NFL is condoning cheating, and that this could lead to some kind of ripple effect in which every child in America will become a cheater and perhaps even a criminal.  Specter has also accused the NFL of trying to protect private interests at the expense of the integrity of the sport.  He then compared the NFL to professional wrestling.

I have long held to the belief that Arlen Specter is on a witch hunt.  This is not some kind of league-wide problem that has been going on for 20 years.  This is not Major League Baseball.  This is one team that got caught doing something that was against the rules.  They were punished, and now we all need to move on. Even Sen. Specter had to acknowledge that he didn’t know if his fellow Congressmen were going to agree with his assessment of the situation. I believe this is very telling.  I hope that we have finally laid Spygate to rest.
