Senator, I say this with the utmost respect. You, Sir, are a dipshit. No one cares anymore. The Patriots lost the Super Bowl, lost their perfect season, lost their luster, and no one gives a crap. Except you. You know...

Specter wants outside probe of Spygate In advocating for an independent inquiry, Specter cited what he called a conflict of interest for the NFL. He said the league and its owners have a financial incentive to put the scandal behind them because “the core of their game is integrity.” Sen. Specter is right, even the [...]

Lots of people are opining today about the impending Republican doom. They're offering their two cents on what's wrong with the Republicans and if the Republicans can continue to exist and offering all sorts of helpful suggestions. I submit that Arlen Specter demonstrates exactly what's wrong with the Republican Party. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell believes Spygate [...]

Filed under: Patriots , AFC East , NFL Fans It's been well established that senator Arlen Specter had ulterior motives for pursuing the NFL and the whole (not really) sordid Spygate saga: money. Specifically, helping the senator's biggest contributor, Comcast, get their greedy little mitts on a piece of the NFL Sunday Ticket pie . Now that Matt Walsh has finally spilled the beans, Specter...

I’m not usually one to gripe about our politicians (most of their work can't be judged until history plays itself out) but in the case of Arlen Specter and his role in Spygate, I can't help but ask “What the hell'” Specter has made it clear that in his mind's eye, the Spygate controversy surrounding the [...]

We had assumed, as you yourself almost certainly had, that the whole Spygate fiasco was officially dead and buried.

Senator Single Bullet Theory (R-Comcast) is not particularly satisfied with Lord Rog’s explanations for the Patriots video-taping ways and Matt Walsh’s revelations, and is already threatening a round of Congressional Kabuki Theater over the league’s anti-trust exemption, citing Goodell's “conflict of interest” in investigating a matter that involves one of his league’s franchises. I understand. Arlen...

The cheating characterization is mine. I confess that I think congress has no reason to be involved in this and its pretty stupid for them to be in the middle of it. But they are and so we have this : After meeting with a former New England Patriots employee who helped the team spy on opponents, Senator Arlen Specter on Wednesday described the team's illicit videotaping tactics as more...

No doubt most Blues readers are acquainted with Arlen Specter. The senior U.S. Senator from the State of Pennsylvania is perhaps best known for his tenure as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the first six years of the Bush administration. Perhaps no Judiciary Committee Chairperson was ever more judicious in finding reasons to [...]

... If you want to know why congress has such low approval ratings, this is why. Nobody wants to see Specter speak, not even Patriots haters. Everybody is sick of this idiot. He has no idea what he is talking about. He is the perfect example of someone who tries to abuse his power. In case you are wondering what spurred this rant, it is what Specter said about opening an independent investigation....
