Attempting to cast doubts on Specter's involvement is just a poor attempt to keep any facts from emerging. So you don't want to know that your coach and team are cheaters and you will do or say anything to smear the messenger, I understand that. I don't agree with it, but I understand your frustration after having your hearts ripped out last night. But covering up your ears and screaming doesn't change things.
If the truth comes out and absolutely proves that no illegal taping took place at any time during the Belichick era than I would think you would welcome a more thorough investigation because, I don't know whether you noticed it or not but, if you check the various forums (be it SI or ESPN)? Everybody outside of Massachusetts believes the team and coach are tarnished way beyond repair. The Patriots, in fact, may never live it down until Belichick retires and just goes away.
My heart wasn’t ripped out. I knew that the Giants were going to be formidable, and that the end would be in doubt until the final whisle. I give kudos to the Giants for a very well played game against a very good team.
Having said that, where in the constitution does it give any member of congress the responsibility to meddle in what is a private enterprise where there is no breach in constitutional issues? Specter is using (abusing) his office for a purpose that has nothing to do with his office, and he’s doing it for personal reasons. Your hatred for the Pat’s can’t be used to justify the abuse of a political office.
Hyperbole much.
The fact of the matter is this is a private enterprise and none of Specter’s damn business. The government should butt the hell out of sports, steroids in baseball, taping in football all are outside the legitimate purview of government.
And as for “everybody outside Massachusetts” BS. I’m outside Mass and don’t believe there is such a thing as “tarnished beyond repair”. The reality is there’s a small dedicated cadres of whiners bitchers and moaners that have kept this boring story alive well past it’s legitimate shelf life. If the NY Post and Gregg Easterbrook would grow up the story would be over already. Luckily Easterbrook only has two more columns on this season so he’ll be shutting up one way or the other. By the time next season starts even the dedicated whiners will have moved on. It’s a none story, and people need to walk away. The season is over, and it turns out they didn’t win it all.
Please tell me where it is in the job description of a sitting US Senator to hold hearings on matters related to his favorite football team? Are you one of the liberal trolls around here who support government intereference in private enterprise?
