I am a huge sports nut! I am also a high school basketball referee.
I am still trying to figure out why is "Spygate" getting this much attention from the Senate? I have tons of respect for Arlen Specter for fighting the fight with cancer. But, in my book, I believe the Senate has more important battles to fight. That also goes for the whole HGH (Human Growth Hormone) issue. Why did the Senate get involved with that stuff? How come they are not investigating more important issues that is effecting the country on a whole?

1. Specter
i suspect he wants to force the NFL Network to be a premium channel so his buddies on Comcast (Philadelphia and total scum) can make more $$$. The NFL wants it to be part of basic service. So Spygate is punishment.

every cable subscriber in America to pay for their overpriced product. I'm glad Comcast wants to make it a premium channel; it lets me choose not to buy an overpriced, largely-useless station.
