Senator Arlen Specter who are you Rooting For in the Super Bowl?
 

Since we're looking at some national "downtime" at the moment, because there's nothing better for our legislators to be doing and because the whole steroids in baseball thing has blown over, Sen. Arlen Specter, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is investigating the NFL

It is alleged the Commissioner apparently destroyed some tapes that may have had evidence of the New England Patriots cheating - there's a surprise - and Specter wants to know why, though he promises it won't overtake the current Iraq war as a matter of national importance. Gee, thanks Arlen for that reassurance, though we still think is the most retarded thing Congress has gotten itself involved in, well, gosh, we guess IN JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS since you guys were just issuing subpoenas to BASEBALL PLAYERS. My question is does he think it is more uregent than Health Care, Illegal Immigration, people losing their homes and other serious issues confronting this country.


Listen, we don't mean to get all preachy. We mention it because it's starting to be tax time, which is a very real reminder that, you know, we're paying for this. Every time Arlen Specter sends a letter to an NFL commissioner asking for an explanation for whatever stupid thing, we have paid for the stationary and the postage and the envelope and the ink and the whole thing and it's also time not spent looking into other kinds of destruction, say at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Just saying. Anyway, go Giants. By the way Senator Specter who are you rooting for?

It is time for everyone to shut up after tomorrow when the Patriots
become the greatest team ever.


Posted by Ken on 2/2/2008 8:59:34 PM
They are jsut trying to bring everything down that the Patriots have
accomplished. they are the greatest team of all time.

What about Health care. I pay $1000 a month for Health care. I need
lower prices as I just cannot afford it. That is where we need help.


Posted by Kelly on 2/2/2008 8:01:42 PM
Specter we can not have that side. Go Giants, Go Eli Manning Go Big
Blue Machine.


Posted by Hally on 2/2/2008 8:01:25 PM
I am going to be pretty mad if the Patriots do not cover tomorrow.
They did not meed any more presure than they already had. This is
ridiculous.


Posted by Kenny on 2/2/2008 7:58:44 PM
There are many think that Specter will root for the Patriots , you
know he is a patriot himself. Go Pats ! Go Pats !

Steroids can give an athlete a big boost. They can make an athlete
compete better. There are many different kinds of steroids. Strength,
speed, endurance and size make all the difference to an athlete. With
it they can make a non competitive athlete into a superstar
overnight. It is serious and should be rejected by high school
students, college students, and professional athletes. How does it
look that the athletes are a product of animal hormones rather than
their own hormones.


Posted by Jim on 2/2/2008 7:54:15 PM
Specter is just a closet Miami Dolphin fan. He just wants the Miami
Dolphins to remain the only undefeated championship team in NFL
history.


Posted by Ted on 2/2/2008 7:49:16 PM
Steroids re used to increase spped and strength which are hallmarks
of a great player. It creates competitve imbalances between the
players who are tkaing them and those who do not. we should not be
teaching our yong people those ideas.


Posted by Shaun on 2/2/2008 7:48:24 PM
Sports is big business. There should be two standards one for drug
abuse and one for steroid use. Drug abuse should call for a dismissal
from professional sports. Steroid use should be regulated by the
league and require league doctor to administer it in terms of need to
heal from injuries. All the athletes should follow or be ousted out.


Posted by Stephen on 2/2/2008 7:41:04 PM
I hope that Arlen spends time with his colleagues debating the War on
Iraq and its current activity. I want the troops coming home to an
embracing country that is proud of their work and accomplishment.


Posted by Ted on 2/2/2008 7:33:37 PM
I agree drug abuse in professional sports has ruined sports. That
should not be tolerated by the commissoner of their sporting league
(NFL, NLB,NHL , other) but steroids is no way out of it. In certain
situations they have to consider it to help overcome the pain and
suffering of an athlete. There performance is hindered without it.


Posted by Alex on 2/2/2008 7:30:02 PM
What does Congress plan on doing to the athletes ? Go get their urine
tested for steroids. Drugs was one thing that no one would go along
with but steroids help heal the athletes that is something different
for real. Drug abuse ruined sports not steroid use.


Posted by Ted on 2/2/2008 7:27:24 PM
The professional level versus the college and high school level is
quite different. Sports is business and nothing will ever change it
not even Congress.


Posted by Brian on 2/2/2008 7:23:06 PM
I think the New England Patriots will win the Super Bowl
convincingly. Earlier this year they played the Giants and the game
was close call. Whatever it will be an exciting rematch of talented
players and the wit of coaches shuffling plays to defeat the other. I
am going with the Patriots giving the points.


Posted by Bobbie on 2/2/2008 7:20:33 PM
I hope that Arlen is rooting for the Giants. They are a team that did
not win all the games like the Patriots.


Posted by Kevin on 2/2/2008 7:15:53 PM
The game has taken a bad turn of it. Sports has changed from years
ago to today. It is big business professionally and collegiately. All
of it has to change otherwise more people will get hurt. Perhaps
there will be a safer means to healing the body one day with all the
marvels of modern medicine.


Posted by Frank on 2/2/2008 7:06:06 PM
There is no place for steroid use on high school or collegiate level.
However , professional sports does have a right to consider it. They
are professonials trying to show off their talent and winning the
game is part of getting injured. In other words, steroids is the only
way to heal them than that it should be allowed.


Posted by Mike on 2/2/2008 6:58:40 PM
Athletes use steroids for many reasons. They are synthetics that help
make them stronger, heal the body from injuries. Without steroids
athletes have a difficulty healing from the injuries of the game. And
no more important game then football which has injuries throughout
the year is needed to overcome that injury bug.


Posted by Ken on 2/2/2008 6:57:43 PM
Steroids and all this other back room stuff is ruining sports in this
country. Sports used to be on the backpage and now more and more it
is on the front page.
