UM so WTF?

Last time I checked the NFL was a private organization. It's not run by the government. So why the hell do senators think they have the right to question or investigate why commissioner Goodell destroyed the spygate tapes.

And seriously - why are we back on this again. The Pats were fined. The commissioner didn't feel they had a competitive advantage and destroyed them. Done.

Now almost 6 months later ... 3 days before the game is this getting resurfaced? Because senators are angry their team didn't make it to the Superbowl and the perfect Patriots did? And really aren't there bigger issues for the senate to worry about than trying to screw up my team's momentum? Like I don't know the war or something?

Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the issue could put the league's antitrust exemption at risk. Perhaps the Republicans feel they are losing ground on the 2008 election so they are trying to shift attention to something else?

Give me a break. Senators get back to what you are supposed to do, not try to screw up football too.
