Sen. Specter Defends Terrell Owens
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2005/11/29/sports/s055634S93.DTL&type=sports

Sen. Arlen Specter accused the National Football League and the Philadelphia Eagles of treating Terrell Owens unfairly and said he might refer the matter to the antitrust subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which he chairs.


Specter said at a news conference Monday in Harrisburg it was "vindictive and inappropriate" for the league and the Eagles to forbid the all-pro wide receiver from playing and prevent other teams from talking to him.


no offense but it must be the cancer talking--TO is not worthy of being defended by a US Senator, even if it is Arlen Specter
