Goodell says Spygate is OVER
 
Quote:
ATLANTA -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell just wrapped up his final press conference at the owners meeting, and said the league has no plans to conduct an independent investigation of the Patriots' videotaping procedures at this time.

Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) has pressured the league to do so, but Goodell reiterated his feelings that the league's investigation was sound and thorough.

Goodell added that he has not spoken with Specter since the senator called for the league to hold an independent investigation. There are plans to do so at this time.

Goodell said there were no new developments on two other issues that came from his talk with former Patriots employee Matt Walsh last week -- a New England player practicing while on injured reserve, and players scalping 8-12 Super Bowl tickets over a two-year span.

Reading between the lines, Goodell is basically telling Specter to go **** himself.

While sports pundits in New York and Boston wring their hands and gnash their teeth over the alleged outrages committed by the New England Patriots in the Spygate saga, a sports journalist in Denver demurs. He says Spygate was much ado about nothing.

Actually, he says it was about something. Writes Jim Armstrong of the Denver Post:

Quote:
In the end, it was all about who cheated, not to what lengths he went to cheat. It was all about putting it to the NFL's most unpopular coach and the league's most despised team.

In the end, it was about jealousy. Not all about jealousy maybe, but mostly about it.

It's as good as over. We only continue it by posting the meaningless articles written by the idiot sportswriters who want to keep it going.

"Over," as in "Really Over" or as in "Over until someone else yells 'Boo!'"?

I have a feeling that the next purported scandal, which probably will be downplayed by the mainstream media, will involve another team.

Hopefully, Goodell has enough contacts in Congress to ascertain whether this topic has legs with anyone but Spector. Judging from the lack of overt support for Spector amongst his own, one would hope not.
