Seriously, this douche thought a single bullet killed JFK :rolleyes:. Only the retarded residents of PA would continue to vote him into office. We know damn well if this was the Eagles (wait they dont win titles) the Steelers, we wouldnt have heard a peep from him.

Specter will not be part of the NFL's interview of Walsh but confirmed he expected to be meeting with Walsh in Washington also on May 13.
As for what he wants to learn from Walsh in their conversation, Specter said: "I want to know everything. I would begin chronologically. When did the first taping occur? Who directed it? And who knew about it? Who participated in it, and what use was made of it? And what effect did it have on the game, as best he could tell? Was there ever any disagreement about using it?''
What he learns from Walsh, as well as the materials the former video assistant turns over, will determine whether Specter will ask the judiciary committee to look into the matter.
"I have never asked the committee to do anything about it because the factual basis, in my judgment, hasn't risen to a level to warrant committee action given the other work of the committee,'' Specter said. "But let us see what happens, what the gravity of it is and make an evaluation.
"I think there has been a substantial public reaction that there is a lot of smoke. And there needs to be a determination as to whether there has been a fire and to what extent there has been a fire.''
Specter has been vocal in expressing frustration with what he views as stonewalling tactics by the league and its teams. His staff has approached individuals with both the Patriots and Jets, only to be told by team attorneys that they would not cooperate with his investigation.

BUT I will say this, the NFL and MLB and all other major sports leagues get MANY exemptions from anti-trust laws. The government needs to make sure that if they've large billion dollar leagues are going to get exempted and have some special treatment that the playing field is kept even and that no one team has an advantage.
I'm with you though, especially about the MLB steroid scandal. Don't we have a WAR going on right now? isn't our economy in the pits without any sense of hope in the near future?
edit: oh and some congressmen really love the spot light

The Eagles won titles before it was called the Super Bowl... same title just an earlier date.
