Does he not have anything better to do?  Maybe someone should tell him about what else is going on-- war, recession, world catastrophes?  This guy wants to talk about the NFL???  WTF!

Oh God....no matter what you think about the Patriots, I think we can all agree that this guy need to LET IT GO.  The way the NFL does business is not the concern of an elected official.  

The Eagles suck, get over it.

honestly, i think congress has better things to do than hold a hearing over an NFL matter. honestly. and seriously, i do not think this would be happening if it had been, say, the detroit lions who were caught taping the hand signals-- which, though everyone can plainly see/watch the hand signals during the games, it is a no-no for them to tape them? i guess i can understand, but i still don't get why people made it a big deal. sore losers.

someone should investigate to see if he's not senile....wasting taxpayer's money just cuz his beloved Eagles lost to the Pats in superbowl? and that day they questioned Clemens was a joke....the republicans were puckering up to Clemen's big arse. pathetic.

I want to believe it's just the conservative in Mr. Specter attempting to be obstructionist since the Republicans lost their third seat since March.

But perhaps I am giving him too much credit.

I'm not surprised.  Anything to distract from the real issues.

"Don't look at your bank account or the price at the gas station guys!!  OMG the PATS are CHEATERS!!!!  What war?!?"

That or PA is just that boring :-/

yeah what's the problem?  Like daniel says who cares about the war and gas prices....let's focus on public enemy number one.  Belicheck.  I have never been to philly and will never go.  It was ranked as the number one ugliest city, peoplewise.  All I know is I have seen a show on oxygen (bad girls club) they went to a girls hometown and everyone was busted, including her...it was philly.  there is a girl on the real world who is from philly and she is skankified to the last possible degree.

Its a rare day when I agree with Teddy K., but when sporting events take precedent in the halls of congress, it is indeed a sad day in our nation's government.

Eagles fan here (relocated to MA about 2 years ago).  Sen. Spector (R-Comcast) is correct that there is probably more to the story than the public knows.  The NFL did not need to destroy the tapes, but what is done is done.  The Federal Gov't has no authority here.  Frankly he needs to get a grip as our nation's infrastructure is crumbling as we speak, Pennsylvania in particular leading that charge.  He never represented me when I lived in the area, but he's embarrassing the Eagles fan in me now.
