Specter not done with Spygate

A day after meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss the videotaping controversy that has entangled the league, Senator Arlen Specter said that he was "more determined" to continue probing. Specter also learned that the NFL had been investigating Matt Walsh, a former Patriots video assistant who may hold potentially damning information. Gone is any sense -- and, for the NFL, any hope -- that the controversy would fade after the Patriots' loss in the Super Bowl. The NFL, which has said it would reopen its investigation if more information was uncovered, has recently been calling former Patriots players. But at least publicly, Specter has been the one pushing for more details.

Bellichick acts like a dumb idiot - when he feels he needs to do so.....for what ????? to win football games ? MAKES NO SENSE.

He has embarrassed the franchise.

Unfortunately the Giants embarrassed the Patriots in front of the entire world and proved that cheating is not the only way to win a football game.

Taping since 2000...of course that explains how the Red Sox beat the Yankees. Can we get something new to talk about.

The Pats ripped off the whole NFL and all of the fans. But they did their worst to their SB opponents. It hurts to lose that game.

I thought that Belicheat did a half baked job in the recent SB since he wanted to lose. But I give the Giants full props.

Mr. Bill and Brady and the gang know that there is a LOT more to this and just wanted to go home with their winnings. It isn't going to work.

How much does it cost to redo a Lombardi trophy? Then we have rings...new books to do....lot of work to be done.

I think his timing is very suspect. If he was so interested in what happened with all this, why didn't he get involved in October, when it happened? Not close enough to the election? This is an awfully handy way to get one's name in the papers, I can tell you that much

God I am sick of this subject, the speculation, and the hate.
Poetic Justice: 18-1 and SB loss.

I believe Pete Rose should in the Hall Grossdout. His records speak for itself. If I remember correctly he amassed his achievements without cheating and without any enhancements. He has done his time and let him in.

There is no comparison between Pete and this story - I am not a kid (although it would be nice)!

ok....I dislike the Pats......but Specter is a total moron. This is the same dope that help conclude that JFK was killed by only one man and also help to qualify the magic bullet theory, Thats basically says that one bullet ...which was found to be in perfect condition after it was fired......struck two men and was able to stop in mid air.....hold still for a second or so, then completely change direction and cause other wounds. Yea he's a regular genius. He's just a bitter Eagles fan with nothing better to do. Hey my kid cant get a good public education in this country....but no...forget that,.....cheating in football is waaay more important. Whats going on in this country?!?!

My God, read some books will you? This has been proven over and over again. Get off the conspiracy websites and read "real" facts.

And it means what? Weird person that Beck.

I only have one thing to add. If these investigations about taping persists, then, I surely do hope that they include all other 31 NFL teams. I'm sure, though, that they still have those tapes on hand (LOL) from the other teams. This is really a witch hunt and it is too bad that the players and the integrity of the team get questioned. I truly believe that even had we given the Dolphins our play book before the game, they still couldn't have won. It's the players that make plays, not the coach. Your only as good as your athleticism.

Not sure what it mean Hooah - cant get that deep with him...just enjoy the 50 layers of music.

February 15, 2008  08:39 AM ET

It's funny to read some of the lyrics that these new artists are putting out. I won't even try to decipher some of it.

By the way, morining Jackman, Houston.

Morning Hooah - got a Daytona party planned...think I will make it a event.

February 15, 2008  08:44 AM ET

Hooah!05.....some of us question things, others believe whatever we are told to believe. Like hmm....Saddam had WMD.....just for starters. That proved to be a big oops!! But of course there are plenty of government jock riders out there who believe what they are told to.
Try to open your mind and see past what you are spoon fed.
