Specter can push it with or without evidence, that's the beauty of a witch-hunt... you just get in front of cameras and say, "where is the other evidence" a bunch of different ways.
Hey, maybe I'm a pessimist... and I hear ya about the Pats front office/legal team/etc. I think right now the Pats are not before any committees. Goodell might be soon. Perhaps Belichick. And we'll all put up with crap for what seems like, to coin a phrase, ever.
I don't think the Pats counter until that's over, if at all. But hey, I could be wrong.
Either way, I'm prepared to just live on the island with other Pats fans... it's always a little like that among football fans anyway... and the good ones, the knowledgable ones, seem to laugh at the whole thing. "Yeah the Pats cheat, and so does everybody else" seems to be the attitude you hear from guys that don't change the channel to figure skating in the third quarter.
But other than the ones who just sort of shrug at the whole thing... when I run into a jackass fan of another team who thinks this is hugely significant, I could give a sh 1 t what they think. And that's for ever too.
By the way, we all know we lost the big one. But how do you explain 18-0, under a microscope, when the only way we could win in the past was cheating?
And when do we open the investigation into Donovan McNabb's criminal mishandling of a 2 minute drill?
