Spectors news conference, what do you wanna say?

I really enjoyed hearing Goodell say he learned "nothing new".  But then Specter informed the public that a Patriots player directly helped in cheating and understood the process of what was going on.

Goodell.... tell us everything you know, because some of this information is apparently new to us.  Goodell is starting to look like a politician, bending words and making things not look smaller than they actually are. 

And for any Patriots fan... don't bother posting anything up here.  Everyone knows where your alliance is held and in what possible moment do you think we will actually take anything serious that you write. 

ESPN had a poll:  Do you think that any or all of the Patriots Super Bowl victories are tainted? 

17K  so far have voted.  About 67% worldwide say Yes.  The only states that had said No were..... New England (Mass, Vermont, Maine), Michigan (Brady went to school there), and Nebraska (who knows why?).  The vast majority believe you are cheated or had an advantage during your wins.  Your dynasty is no longer a dynasty. 

The New England organization is a joke and so are their fans who try to defend them.

ORANGE...THE FACT IS THAT VIDEO TAPING DEFENSIVE & OFFENSIVE SIGNALS IS ACTUALLY ALLOWED.....JUST NOT FROM THE SIDELINE.

I wonder if someone asked Spector what the Patriots did wrong he'd know the answer...because most people on here dont know.

Haslett said Thursday that when he played in the NFL, steroid use was rampant because the league had no policy banning such drugs. The NFL has since attacked the problem, he said.

"That's because it wasn't illegal then," Haslett said. "That was my point. You had so many people using them because they were legal. I talked about it to show how far our league has come. We have the best policy anywhere on steroids."

Haslett, the Steelers' defensive coordinator from 1997-99, made his initial remarks about his own steroid use and his accusations against the Steelers on Wednesday in Hawaii, where the league was holding its annual meeting. They were published in Thursday's editions of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Los Angeles Times.

Steelers owner Dan Rooney, who ran the team during the 1970s, denied the Steelers pioneered steroid use in the NFL.

Haslett played in Buffalo from 1979 to 1985, and finished his career in 1987 with the New York Jets. He said he used steroids for one season early in his careerIt started, really, in Pittsburgh. They got an advantage on a lot of football teams. They were so much stronger (in the) '70s, late '70s, early '80s," Haslett said Wednesday. "They're the ones who kind of started it."   LETS SEE WHAT CONGRESS CAN FIND OUT ABOUT THIS

Let me break down your breakdown and point out to you the value of actually reading a post ...

I say "assuming you don't know their signals," because if you happened to be behind the eight-ball in signal stealing and have only deciphered the signals of Team A, that would put you at a more competitive disadvantage against Team B. The goal in phrasing it that way was to make sure no one tried to end around the question.
Also, point out to me where I said "videotaping is not an advantage." If you'd bothered to read the post, you'd see I said it makes cheating easier, and that is why the NFL decided to ban it, while not banning signal stealing in general.
The point of the argument was not that the Patriots are innocent of all wrongdoing, because they're guilty as sin of breaking that rule, nor was it that videotaping a team's signals wouldn't be slightly advantageous, because it sure couldn't hurt. What I am saying is if I steal your signals with videotape, and you steal my signals without it, you and I are back to square one, I just put in less effort than you did. To say that Super Bowl wins should be taken away and asterisks should be placed and all that jazz is totally bogus, because the potential advantage to be gained -- knowing someone's signals -- is no greater than the potential advantage some other team could gain by stealing someone's signals by hand, which is both acceptable and encouraged.

As you're a Broncos fan, I don't expect you to understand everything I've said. But do try and make the effort.

First of all I am a Miami Dolphins fan.  Clear that up, and if you want to bad mouth them go ahead, I'm sure you can't approach the bad mouthing I've done.

But I just want to get a couple of things straight.

Why is Arlen Spector getting involved?

1.  Money- Alot of money, most football stadiums are paid for in part if not wholly by public money.  Making money on a game that was rigged  is called racketeering. Gambling money lost by people on games that weren't honest.  Money lost by teams that were cheated out of additional incomes because of losses due to cheating.  MONEY.

2. Anti-Trust exemption - The NFL has a limited Anti-trust exemption with the governnment.  By limited I mean it's not illegal for a company to go into competition, but without the exemeption , the NFL would have to either ass
