"Much ado about nothing."

Nice try but this is not about Specter or his politics. This is about a coach who appears to have built his "genius" reputation and his career on false premises. And a team whose success and integrity are now tarnished.

W/E. Specter needs to keep his mind on his job. His job is not being a referee for the NFL or any other pro sports organization. His job is clearly defined by the constitution, which does not mention anything about policing pro sports.

Maybe for the unenlightened such as yourself. Jimmy Johnson said that he would send his interns into opposing team’s locker rooms and look for anything that they could find. In the corporate world that’s considered unethical and maybe even espionage but in the NFL it’s standard operating procedure. The Broncos violated the NFL salary cap back in the 90’s and were docked a draft pick. Does that mean Mike Shanahan’s credentials are questionable too? The Giants beat a superior team back in the 1992 Super Bowl with BB as their defensive coordinator. When he went to the Jets as their DC after he left the Pats the Jets almost went to the SB losing to the same team that was found to be cheating at the salary cap and keeping players they couldn’t have otherwise. He’s one of the best technical coaches in the game. He has no personality and he pushes the envelope too far on things but you are talking out your ass when you question his coaching abilities.
