Specter Too Busy for Spygate Probe

No matter what you’ve called it, the fact remains that the recent Patriots scandal has cast a long and dark shadow over the organization for nearly an entire calendar year.  As we approach training camp, it seems the Patriots are finally coming out from the haze that we have called “Spygate.”  I have been reporting that it seems the dust was settling, and things were going back to normal for awhile now.  However, I’ve been wrong before, so I didn’t want to declare a total moratorium on Spygate reports, lest I jump the gun and have to eat crow yet again.

However, with Arlen Specter’s admission that he is too busy to pursue a full Spygate probe, I believe we can officially start breathing our collective sigh of relief.  It would appear at the moment that we have finally seen the last of this horrible story.  It may have taken awhile, and the Pats may have had to endure some hardship along the way, but in the end I believe that history will be kind to the Patriots.  It does not appear that this was the awful injustice it was made out to be at first.  I hope the Pats and the rest of the NFL can put this behind them in the new season.
