Default Does Sen. Sphecter Have Money On The Giants



Per the NY Times...

After flexing their muscles ridding baseball of performance enhancing drugs Congress and the Senate appear to be one upping each other for influence in professional sports as Sen A. Spechter is calling out NFL Commish King Roger of all things Football exercising the worst judgement in senate history as they will revisit the destruction of tapes related to Spygate when the Patriots were caught red handed stealing signals by videotaping the Jets Defensive coaches during weeks one's NFL contest between the Pats and Jets

Forget the self indulgent timing but is their not a better use of Senate time than raking the NFL brass over behavior which clearly is not in the same class with little kids using steroids.

I wonder why it came up this week......

The behavior of Congress in regards to sports is unsettling at best, a joke at worst. The NFL destroyed tapes because the case is over, the parties have been penalized and the rest of the world including the NFL have moved on. Except this publicity hound who obviously wants to deflect attention away from the disgraceful performance of Congress onto a popular subject like the internal policies of the NFL. What exactly is to be gained by keeping the tapes of the Jets defensive signals? No laws were broken, only NFL rules which change from year to year anyway. The timing is typical political self-importance at its worst.
