So I must have missed it, but did Allen Specter take a deposition from Mike Ditka regarding his on air comments that George Halas routinely bugged opposing team locker rooms and George Allen taping practices?
Or does he and everyone else want to stick their head in the sand and delude themselves about standard operating procedure in the NFL?
Surely the general public would prefer not to know these things - but seeing as Ditka made his comments on TV and that that the following Lee Grosscup article appeared in Sport Magazine in 1967 about how far NFL teams went to watch practices, it doesn't seem to me like the Pats should be singled out if indeed they did anything wrong.

Indeed, just like with signal stealing, the NFL seems to recognize that the only way to have an even playing field is to let everyone do it to the best of their ability, recognizing that's the only fair thing to do.
Apparently Specter's Senate staff can't do a simple Google search - which is reason enough to throw him out of office for incompetence. Either that or he's got a vendetta against the NFL for some unknown reason *cough* Comcast *cough*
