Shouldn't Congress focus more on our economy and health care problems and War in Iraq and not which baseball players are using steroids or what NFL team cheated during week 1?

Sweet! I was praying for a reason to have more Arlen Specter in our lives.

The guy

So... Congress is using its resources properly by... getting involved in a sports league's affairs?

Does not compute.

Isn't that the guy who got all up into Alberto Gonzalez?

Either way, it's a cheap attempt to get publicity for himself. All of the Steelers fans in Pennsylvania are happy I am sure.

LOL, Our economy is absolute **** right now. Yet, Congress would like to spend their time on more important things like investigating this. I can understand the steroids investigation due to the fact they are illegal drugs. But this is a friggin joke. Our government is so pathetic.

Arlen Specter playing the part of Jim Garrison...priceless.

"Hey Arlen, thanks for the extra motivation! -Bill"

Maybe I'm in the minority, but me being a long time fan of NFL.
I have the right to know the truth about what the Patriots did.
And hearing Roger Goodell didn't even do a whole investigation, he never even spoke to Mike Walsh the former Patriots video assistant makes me more mad.

If Roger Goodell isn't going to do it, I'm gglad somebody else is.
I as a fan have a right to know.
They are saying they were even vidoetaping the Rams walkthrough at the superbowl. And this is from the Boston Herald

Who's "they"? :roll:

And what is the exact rule that such filming would have broken? And how would that have differed from the Patriots' practices being spied on with a telescope before the very same Super Bowl?

"The Patriots worked on special teams, red zone, short-yardage, and goal-line situations amid a security scare that developed midway through the practice. According to the pool report, inside linebackers coach Pepper Johnson got the attention of team official Berj Najarian and pointed to an open window on the third floor of a nearby brown Colonial, one of five houses just to the west of the field. These houses had concerned the Patriots when they first saw the practice field on Tuesday, but through the first few days of practice, those fears were quelled. A telescope was clearly visible in the window. According to the pool report, 15 minutes later a person appeared at the window, then vanished. League and team officials watched the house with binoculars as the Patriots continued practice, and no one appeared at the window for the session's remaining 45 minutes." -Nick Carfado, Boston Globe, 2/2/02

Whether or not something comes of this, it is extremely unfortunate for a politician to interject themselves into the spotlight only a few days before a major event.

Arlene is playing with political fire on this one.

His comments should of waited until AFTER the Superbowl.
