As today is Super Bowl Sunday, I thought that a football related post would be in order. Luckily Senator Arlen Specter has provided the fodder by launching his own investigation into new allegations of Spygate, the New England Patriots taping scandal.
As a sports fan of the highest magnitude, I think that the Senate should stay out of our national past times. I do wish that sports, mostly baseball, would institute better drug testing policies; Baseball has had a lackluster history of dealing with scandals under Commissioner Bud Selig, but I don't think that congressional hearings are going to be the answer.
As far as Spygate, I felt that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell did an excellent job of dealing witht the issue. The incident was investigated, punishment was levied, and Spygate was put to rest; that was until now when the Pats are on the verge of a perfect season. Now Arlen wants to launch an investigation.
Do we really need Congress to police our sporting events, on top of all the other things they manage to get their grubby little fingers on? If there is anyone out there, I'd appreciate your comments!
