First he has extremely poor taste in timing his announcement 2 days before the biggest day in football. And now he doesn't have the cajones to follow up on his own action. I guess he just wanted to throw the Pats off their game for revenge for his precious eagles.
OT -- anything happen with the jets fans lawsuit? I imagine it was thrown out but don't remember seeing anything about it.
Seriously, the undeserved hatred of BB by the media puts him squarely in the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" category. I wonder why it is that he hates the media so
In reference to this post. About all I can find concerning Specters appearance on WIP is this interview that was posted on Monday evening (2/18/02) at 8:22 by the Hugging Harold Reynolds blogsite. Although not the complete interview, it mentions nothing concerning Senate hearings. However, he does say that the Patriots may have violated the "Industrial Espionage Act of 1996". To be truthful, during the interview he does come off sounding like a disgruntled Eagles fan more than the defender of "Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness".

I don't think it has legs either. All you hear about is how teams attempt to steal signals throughout the NFL. If this is the case, then wouldn't all teams that attempt to steal signals also be be in violation of this act? Does attempting to videotape signals make Belichick and the Patriots any more guilty than, say, the Dolphins last year when they aquired audible tapes prior to playing the Patriots? What I heard from the interview was a sour grapes Eagles fan grasping at straws for their Super Bowl loss.A company need to take steps to protect the trade secret for another person or company or team to violate this law. Stealing defensive signals definitely wouldn't be covered since they are exposing their "trade secret" in front of 60-70k people in the stands and on national TV. Even if the Rams walkthrough was taped, I doubt you could bring charges since there were pool reporters attending the walkthrough which meant the Rams didn't take proper steps to protect their trade secret.

Govt. is back open for business today. Lets see what happens.
I have seen no confirmation of this info anywhere.
That article is an incredible find, Joe. Did you send it to anyone else?
I hope you sent your letters in as well drop kick! I'm serious.
What letters would those be? To Specter or Tomase? They are both pretty hated around here.
Why does ESPN keep parading Clayton on all their shows as if he is the expert on "spygate" ????
