In an interview on Boston sports raido WEEI, this morning. Among the tidbits:

  • Walsh disclosed to Specter that a "suspicious" Jets cameraman stood next to him on the sidelines during one Jets/Patriots game. Specter said numerous times that he thought Walsh was a "credible" witness. So, why hasn't Specter launched a crusade against the Jets?
  • If an investigation were to occur, Specter believes it should be league-wide. Yet he continues to hammer only on the Patriots.
  • When asked why he did not become involved with the NBA/referee gambling scandal, he answered that it was an internal league-matter, and essentially none of his business. When pressed to say why he did not feel the same way about the NFL investigation of the Patriots, he evaded the question.
  • Specter said that he has been careful to avoid asking for a Senate investigation of the Patriots. He then said he believed an independent investigation should be conducted. He then disclosed that he turned down an offer of funds from senator Patrick Leahy to hire investigators, because he thought he could handle it himself. Huh? Could it be that he wants to control the outcome of any such investigation?
  • When asked about his Eagles allegiance, he denied it was a factor, when in an interview on February 8, he admitted it was factor in his pursuit of this issue. Flip-flop much? In general, he evaded any questions about ties to Comcast or any other source of bias.
  • Lastly, when asked where he would go from here, he said that depends on puclic opinion. In other words, he's sticking his finger in the air to see which way the wind blows. Typical politician.

Sorry merry band of Hatriots. Your hero is a fraud. There might be a few more days of columns, and then maybe you can start thinking about your own crappy teams.

Specter, listen to Edward Kennedy. There are more serious things in life right now than the fabricated spygate scenario........

Oh, yeah, I forgot that. One of the show's hosts read kennedy's comments to Specter and he replied that he agreed wholeheartedly, and that he manges to "find time" to pursue (intersting choice of words) this issue. He ended the interview abrubtly say he had to attend to "Senate business."

If you would like to contact Senator Specter so that he can gauge your interest in this matter, here's a link:

He probably has little interst in hearing from "biased" New Englanders, so perhaps NFL fans from around the country, like me, can chime in. This guy is wasting your money and mine. Don't let it pass.

Nice Post, I agree,  perform a league wide investigation and find out how deep this goes. With people coming and going from the Parcells coaching tree, I doubt that it's isolated to the Pats.

As for Spector, All I see are dollars from COMCAST spewing from his mouth everytime he speaks. Maybe a little media exposure on his campaign contributions from special intrest are in order. By the way, if you forward the good senator an email, his reply back is that he can only deal with Penn. citizens because he's too busy........

Funny, because Pennsylvania residents don't pay for his salary and his junkets and meals and hotels and cars and everything else--the AMERICAN taxpayers do. Oh, and Comcast too.
