Senator irked at NFL over Spygate stance
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who has been a vocal critic of the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell, called a false start against the league yesterday. Specter isn't satisfied with the NFL's early stance regarding the eight videotapes that former Patriots employee Matt Walsh turned over to the league yesterday. "I think it is very unfortunate that the NFL has already started its 'nothing new' spin before watching the tapes or finding out what Mr. Matt Walsh has to say," Specter said in a written statement. "Let's see where the evidence leads." Walsh is scheduled to meet with Goodell Tuesday in New York, then will travel to Washington to huddle with Specter later that day.

The same Patriot fans who believe congress can solve $5 a gallon gas prices will be cursing Schumer, Specter & Company for even thinking of looking at the NFL rules and filming. Oil Companies make money? Patriots win games? GO, go get 'em congress!!!!!!!!!

Stop criticizing the Pats. Their fans are still in a very precarious mental state.

For those from Arkansas, Kansas or athletic scholars:
Precarious --
1: depending on the will or pleasure of another
2: dependent on uncertain premises : dubious <precarious generalizations>
3 a: dependent on chance circumstances, unknown conditions, or uncertain developments b: characterized by a lack of security or stability that threatens with danger
I think he means unstable.

No, I believe I meant precarious. Your #3 definition would be the most appropriate.
Oh, and it's she.

When you team is the winning half of one of the great Super Bowls ever it kind of comes naturally. It is a tad hypocritical for a Pats fan to say that though when you know it could easily be you gloating about being fans of the second undefeated team. Maybe not you yourself but you know damn well Pats fans would still be gloating, especially directed at Dolphins fans.

The Senator is just posturing so he doesn't look any worse. He took a hard line stance on something that he has no clue about and it burned him. Since Goodell and the league has already stated that there was nothing new produced Spector can now say conspiracy till the day he dies, which maybe soon at his age.

I was born in Arkansas. Thank you for your definition of Precarious - what would i do without your pearls of wisdom? Oh, wait a minute, you're just a genius in your own mind.
Never mind!

Hmmm... the Senator wants a witch hunt and will throw tantrums in the media until he gets one. It's an awe-inspiring example of our elected leaders at work, don't you think?
All the best,
