Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) issued the following statement regarding the eight videotapes that Matt Walsh has turned over to the NFL:

“I think it is very unfortunate that the NFL has already started its ‘nothing new’ spin before watching the tapes or finding out what Mr. Matt Walsh has to say. Let’s see where the evidence leads.”

Geez, he's not holding anything back. Even with his current health condition.

its quite clear by now that its a battle of comcast and nfln and pats are just getting fried in the middle

He should go tell that to Matt Walsh's attorney. Afterall wasn't this entire thing about a walk through of the Rams? I thought that it was. Did I miss something?

By the way, can we sue this guy for wasting tax payer's money?

Specter is a pathetic waste of both space and taxpayer money.

That is hillarious. Obviously he can't just say nothing and has to try to save some face. That is why he is grasping at the "its spin!" straws. The evidence leads to Specter being duped along with the rest of the country and winding up with egg on their faces.

Shouldn't he worry about the Philly cops beating the snot out of people during a traffic stop?

Or perhaps PA resident Marvin Harrison's role in an attempted murder?

Then there is the drug den that was run out of Andy Reid's house...

Spectre is a classic case of why there should be term limits.. he is a dinosaur who wants some face time for his beloved Iggles...

Please Arlen, more rope.

(Play on gives you the rope to hang him with.)

I have to agree with Specter here. I hear that in the middle of the AFC Championship, the Steelers call a time out and proceed to have a walkthrough practice and the Patriots filmed it all.

I knew this would rally Specter. What Specter is ignoring is that Walsh provided a certified letter detailing what was on each tape. It isn't like some smoking gun 3 seconds of footage is going to magically appear.
