Let It Go, Already

OK, it is now a witch hunt for Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter when it comes to Spygate and the NFL. Specter is apparently not satisfied that NFL commisioner Roger Goodell is capable of minding his own store so Specter is willing to lend the government’s assistance to him in order to save the integrity of the sport. Gimme a break. I commented on the phony and nonsensical nature of Specter and his grandstanding back in February in this space and my thoughts have not changed. Simply put, give it a rest Arlen. We know you’re all pissed off your Philadelphia Eagles lost a Super Bowl to Bill Belichick’s Patriots a few years ago. But blame Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid for that one. They were sleepwalking down the field instead of running a hurry-up offense in the last few minutes of that game and THAT’S why your team lost and not because of videotaping. Get it through your head that spending taxpayer money on a Mitchell Report-like investigation into signal taping in the NFL is a colossal waste of money and reeks of arrogance. With gas now over $4 per gallon and people losing their homes left and right, this is what congress wants to look into? How about investigating the executive branch of our government? I promise you’ll find plenty of scandal there. Stop wasting everybody’s time with this grandstanding garbage. The American people are angry enough at this government already. Don’t give us yet another reason to see incompetence 101 on display. Simply drop this investigation talk. We don’t need another Mitchell-like Report to come out and tell us nothing new about the NFL. What will taint the NFL is the investigative process to produce the report, not the finished product. Just like in baseball. Stop the insanity now, Arlen. Nobody in America cares what you think. I hate Belichick, but not enough to spend taxpayer money to investigate him further. America never spends it’s money wisely anymore. Don’t make this another example of it.
