He’s at it again.  Apparently, the NFL’s investigation into Matt Walsh’s involvement with the Patriots isn’t enough.  Forget that the team agreed to ignore his contract forbidding him to discuss his terms of employment, now an interview with the Comissioner of the league, you know, the guy who doles out penalties and handles these kinds of investigations, isn’t enough for this nosy punk from Pennsylvania (nothing against the Keystone state).  Arlen Specter wants his own interview with Walsh and says he might recommend that Congress investigate further into Spygate.  I will repeat, in bold capital letters so perhaps Mr. Specter will understand better,

SPYGATE WAS A ONE TIME OFFENSE!!!!!!!!!!.

One time, that’s it.  This is not a situation where the government needs to get involved.  There’s no major union issue, no drug scandal pervasive throughout the league.  Congress is a last resort.  There’s a reason these leagues have governing bodies in the first place, to deal with situations like this one.  As supposedly one of the leading Senators in the country, you’d think Specter would know this.  Instead he wants to grandstand and soap box and attach his name to a scandal that doesn’t exist.  Senator Specter, this may be hard to get, but the Eagles actually did lose that Super Bowl, there was no conspiracy, and if you’re not careful you may lose your next election.

Enough ranting, Matt and I are back later this week diving into the deep end of the draft (we turn from Owen Schmitt haters to lovers).  Also this weekend, keep checking the website as Matt and I offer our thoughts on every new Patriot, that way you don’t have to be distracted by Mel Kiper Jr’s hair.
