Look out Patriots, Specter is not done!
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Senator Arlen Specter has intimated that he is not done investigating the New England Patriots.
Specter, a Republican from Pennsylvania, said in a telephone interview that his comments to the editorial board of The Philadelphia Daily News earlier this week “didn’t really come out with the proper flavor.”
“My view on the overall situation is that we may well see the other shoe drop somewhere,” Specter said. “We went about as far as we could go, given the public attitude today about the economy and gas prices and Iraq. We’re always very careful about initiating a Congressional investigation.
“But that isn’t to say, by any means, it’s over.”
The NFL is taking action to see that this does not happen again.
The N.F.L. also added provisions this off-season to strengthen enforcement of rules relating to the integrity of the game, along with eliminating most defensive signals by installing defense communications systems — similar to what the quarterback uses — next season.
Senator Specter is not even happy with all the Public money that is going into Football Stadiums (3.46 Billion) and Baseball Stadiums (3.01 Billion).
And he does not quit there.
“In many quarters, there is a bad taste left for what Goodell and the N.F.L. did,” he said. “I say that because there are misrepresentations about the scope of it. They’re trying to minimize the impact, which is documented. There’s a certain residual unhappiness about it. The pot is boiling.”
