Default What authority does Arlene Sphincter have...

to request that all investigations into the videogate case regarding the Patriots GO THROUGH him in Pennsylvania? What IS HIS AUTHORITY IN THIS CASE? And.....why does Roger Goodell jump like a chimpanzee when Sphincter comes calling? I find it very hard to understand how this despicable jackbag can take time away from attending to the issues and concerns of his constituents in Pennsylvania, (a job that the TAXPAYERS are PAYING HIM TO DO), so that he can lead a one man witch hunt against the Patriots. What is his MOTIVE here? IS it the interest of Comcast that he has fueling him? IF that is determined to be true......He should be forced to resign, and the Pats should file suit against him. Every talking stiff keeps saying "Well it isn't over until Arlene Sphincter says it is.....and he will want to talk to Goodell" What gives Sphincter the right to meddle in the issues of the National Football league and IMPOSE HIS WILL? WHO THE FU(K IS ARLENE SPHINCTER? He is simply a Senator from Penn.....I do not get how he can make everyone jump through hoops like this. If I were Goodell I would tell him that "I WAS HANDLING THE SITUATION.....and to go F' off"

And.....like someone on here said "If he is so concerned about what is going on in the world of sports, WHERE WAS HE DURING THE STEROID SCANDAL IN BASEBALL? Yes indeed.....where was his outcry then?

This guy is a pathetic, self serving jacka$$ that is simply trying to make some money off of parlaying the interests of Comcast.......while NEGLECTING HIS DUTIES AS A US SENATOR watching over the interests of his constituents in PA, and the interests of citizens of the US........can anyone tell me why this guy holds such power over Goodell.......?

He's been authorized by Comcast.

Hopefully his next opponent uses this against him. Wasting government dollars because he is a sore loser.

Spector has ZERO authority! It beats me why Walsh and Goddell are agreeing to speak to him. The way the media is playing this out, it seems as though the Patriots committed a crime. The next thing you know, Eric Mangini is testifiying against the Patriots in a courtroom. But seriously, if I were Goddell, I would tell Spector to worry about more important issues in Pennyslvania and politely tell him to **** OFF!

He is a Eagle fan and football fan, that does not give him any right what so ever to do or did what he has done.. Its time to move on and out on crapgate..

specter will have the authority if the republicans win the senate in 10' but hopefully he'll lose his seat. Right now, Pat Leahy is in charge of the senate judiciary committee. he's another useless senator but he's from new england so maybe we have a leg up.

He's not running again.

There was a good guy...well, never mind. If anyone wants to talk more, the political forum is at the bottom of the main menu.

Are you being sarcastic? Unless your committing a crime, no senator (democrat or Republican) has the authority to take control over "spygate". End of story. If that were the case, then our government would already take control over gas prices and we would all be happy.

The only authority that Spector has is the ability to call for a hearing for reconsideration of the NFL's limited anti trust exemption for the purpose of negotiating broadcast contracts. This is what has the Commissioner's Office jerking around like a puppy on a leash. My personal feelings are that Spector is over-stepping and misusing his authority by trying to be a bully. Just my 2 cents.
