Not bad for the new writer on his first day. Gettin' the truth out there.

Of course, it should be mentioned that Specter is a hypocrite based off this connection.

The Mitchell Report investigated illegal activity.. this intended investigation is looking at rules violations?? Makes little sense..

Nice, let's hope this is a sign of what we can expect in the future from this guy, as well.

There is a nice tidbit in there that can't be over-looked.

Pat Leahy has already balked at holding hearings on this. That's good news. And I'm sure that he'll continue to balk since there was no new evidence of any wrong doing.

I particularily enjoyed this part...at some point SOMEONE in the national media just HAS to catch on to this, right?

I'd love for this to be opened up to every team: get it all out in the open, air everyone's dirty laundry for everyone to see. Interview prior employees, disgruntled employees, the whole works. Tapes will be found all over the place.

Any independant investigator would have to find out how many teams were doing it - per Walsh's disclosure about the Jets they'd be the first people I'd interview then Jimmy Johnson. An independant investigation would be a long and costly thing that would ultimately probably come to the conclusion that there were multiple teams that did "spy" and that the effect it had on the outcome of games was minimal (i.e what we all know now). While I want Spygate to die a truly non-biased independant investigation would probably end up redeeming the Pats somewhat by showing how widespread this was throughout the history of football.

Way to go Mangina!

See this is going the same way of Barry Bonds. They start digging deeper and all their other little NFL darlings will be exposed as doing the same crap as Bonds. Answer this, when is the last time you heard Barry Bonds and steroids in the same sentence? It's all Roger Clemens and who knows who else now, lol.

They are about to open Pandoras Box. I'd laugh my @$$ off if his beloved Steelers or Eagles came up dirty in some way. Karma is real and that @$$hole will see soon enough.

Well to be fair, Bonds has been all over the news recently because the number of indictments against him was increased to 14.

That said, the NFL brought this upon themselves. Not keeping it in-house, not slamming the door shut when it was a minor issue about a rules violation...they allowed this spectacle to be played out in the media, much like baseball allowed the steroids issue to blow up into a national media circus. If they had dealt with this quietly, fined the team and Belichick and maybe taken a 3rd or 5th round pick and closed the book on it, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

As it is, the Patriots have been absolutely decimated as a franchise: all credibility for Belichick, Brady, et al has been violently thrown out the window because of a misinterpretation of a vaguely worded rule. So fine...bring it on, investigate every team (starting with the two we know about: the Jets and the Dolphins), and get everything out in the open.

I'm so sick of this media bias, this mentality that only one team has been doing this and that it's even cheating. Let's hear everything, see how the NFL and all the idiot fans like it when other teams are implicated.

The problem is, as we've clearly seen with hometown heros like Tomasse, that money and fame are often more important to people than their teams. I bet Spector would gladly throw the Eagles under the bus for a couple more hundreds of dollars from Comcast. Sad.
