The ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee wants NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to explain why the league destroyed evidence related to spying by the Patriots. Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania and ranking member of the committee, said that Goodell would eventually be called before the committee to address two issues: the league's antitrust exemption in relation to its television contract and the destruction of the tapes that revealed spying by the Patriots
New York Times
Really? REALLY? The ranking Republican in the Senate OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA needs to have a hearing to address the potential taping of an opponent's game by the Patriots? Am I the only one in America who caught this? Are we really OK as a country with our elected officials making sure everything's ok in the NFL? Because I THINK there are some BIG F*&^%$# PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD THAT THE SENATE COULD ADDRESS RIGHT NOW.
PS-Thanks government for all the millions spent on the baseball steriod issue. Your tireless effort has led to a groundbreaking report that has reinforced just how little America cares about baseball anymore.
