Amazing. Simply amazing that this ever went as far as it did. Specter wanted a Major League Baseball-like investigation into spygate similar to the steriods fiasco/Clemens love-fest reality show type “hearings” put on earlier this year. Frightening thought, and even more frightening mis-use of our government’s time and energy.

The major league difference here though is that steroid use is illegal, whereas the Patriots’ videotaping procedures broke NFL rules. I would have thought Specter would have turned his attentions to the story regarding convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs, who turned in a list of NFL players/customers before his death. Guess Specter’s not really interested in illegal steroid use by players whose team’s owners “enjoy an antitrust exemption”, and not in possible game-fixing by the NBA either.

Maybe none of those issues affect his beloved Eagles, or his connection to Comcast?

I’ve struggled mightily to stay out of yet another Spygate story, but I don’t think I can. This angers me to the point of distraction and needs to have some attention focused on it.
