Specter:“I found a lot of questions unanswerable because of the tapes and notes had been destroyed.”
:eyes: Oh, the irony. Some things are just too important for Arlen to ignore.

"WASHINGTON - Bill Belichick has been illegally taping opponents’ defensive signals since he became the New England Patriots’ coach in 2000, according to Sen. Arlen Specter, who said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told him that during a meeting Wednesday.

“There was confirmation that there has been taping since 2000, when Coach Belichick took over,” Specter said.

Specter said Goodell gave him that information during the 1-hour, 40-minute meeting, which was requested by Specter so the commissioner could explain his reasons for destroying the Spygate tapes and notes.

<snip>

Specter, from Pennsylvania, wants to talk to other league officials about what exactly was taped and which games may have been compromised.

“We have a right to have honest football games,” he said..."

2. Meanwhile as Rome burns, Spector turns his laser like focus on a crooked painting.

4. Too bad you don't prove that you have the balls ... when you talk big and get a lot of press
for opposing something, and then when it comes time to put your money where your mouth is, it's "Yessir, Mister Bush, SIR!"

Kinda like John McCain ... the "maverick" :eyes: ...
