So I must have missed it, but did Allen Specter take a deposition from Mike Ditka regarding his on air comments that George Halas routinely bugged opposing team locker rooms and George Allen taping practices?

Or does he and everyone else want to stick their head in the sand and delude themselves about standard operating procedure in the NFL?

Surely the general public would prefer not to know these things - but seeing as Ditka made his comments on TV and that that the following Lee Grosscup article appeared in Sport Magazine in 1967 about how far NFL teams went to watch practices, it doesn't seem to me like the Pats should be singled out if indeed they did anything wrong.

Indeed, just like with signal stealing, the NFL seems to recognize that the only way to have an even playing field is to let everyone do it to the best of their ability, recognizing that's the only fair thing to do.

Apparently Specter's Senate staff can't do a simple Google search - which is reason enough to throw him out of office for incompetence. Either that or he's got a vendetta against the NFL for some unknown reason *cough* Comcast *cough*

That Sport Magazine article is a great read - citing filming practices 40+ years ago.

Thanks for finding that article, very interesting stuff.

At first I was reading it just becuase I'm a Pats fan. But that's truly one of the better articles I have read in a long time.

So I guess we should file a class action suit against all those organizations, as well as the NFL - and get Al Davis on the witness stand!

Any lawyers among us that are looking to make a name for themselves?

What price tag should we put on the pain and suffereing for Patriots fans when the NFL is knowingly acting the hypocrit about these things?

Let's get Specter on the stand as well to see when his interest in NFL cheating began - before or after Comcast became his biggest contributor? Especially since even the most basic of Internet research would have shown him that these practices go back more than 40 years.

Since Papa Bear started things back in the 50's & 60's -- I knew those Bears were cheaters all along.

Strip them of that 1985/6 Superbowl ring and give it to NE.

Steve Grogan gets his ring!!!

I want to sue the NFL as I had tickets to that game.

Bears need to lose their #1 draft choice this year as punsihment.

Tomase...here is a scoop for you with actual real sources!!!

Dunno whether it's in this article or not, but Halas once sold tickets to the opposing team's bench.
