Spygate Continues........Rozelle Rolls Over In His Grave
2008-05-18 00:03:00 Many of you read my recent article entitled, "Senator Specter has to Stop", and it got some great debate going. Since writing that article, I have done a complete 180 on the issue. Based on some of the comments that Matt Walsh made in his NY Times interview, the investigation does deserve to be

Senator Specter Keeps Spygate Alive
2008-05-16 06:55:00 "We (the NFL) respectfully disagree with Senator Specter's characterization of the investigation conducted by our office. We are following up after yesterday's meeting with Matt Walsh." The NFL has to play nice, so you can see why they "respectfully" disagreed with Senator Specter. I, on the other hand, have no reason whatsoever to "respectfully" disagree. While a high-ranking United States Senator was meeting with a man about a football game, one could argue that there were other things going on that deserved his attention. I know what you're thinking. What else could possibly be happening in the real world that's more important than an NFL team stealing defensive signals? Maybe a few things... Some would argue that instead of wasting time meeting with Mr. Walsh, Senator Specter should have been meeting with the family of Cpl. Jessica A. Ellis. You see, while fighting in a war that Senator Specter supported, she was killed. Her death was announced by the military while...

A Patriot Fan's Thoughts on Spygate's End, Matt Walsh and The Boston Herald
2008-05-14 05:31:00 Matt Walsh, Matt Walsh, Matt Walsh? What can I say that hasn?t been said already by someone else, somewhere else, most likely in better English and maybe with a few added expletives?I?m actually not THAT mad at the mysterious Mr. Walsh.I discovered recently, through his own reported testimony and the stolen video tapes he returned to the NFL, that Matt Walsh didn?t attempt to destroy the Patriots? Super Bowl weekend. It wasn?t him. Sure, he did his part to ruin the first half of the offseason for Patriot fans. I mean, Matt, you didn?t have a Rams? walk-through tape. You KNEW, presumably, the entire time that you didn?t have a walk-through tape. Would it have killed you to say so? But I?m not holding that against him, and neither should anyone else. I?m still bitter against former employers that did far less than fire me for illegally taping conversations.I was once fired from a D'Angelo sub shop because I refused to wash the dishes after I completed my deliveries for the day ...

Hey Congress, Stay Out Of Sport's Problems
2008-02-12 15:46:00 Now before I get started on this little rant I just want to say I really could care less about politics and the whole big brother concept it has with other countries. But when it comes to problems in sports and sports figures, Congress needs to keep their big nose out of sport's business. I really am sick and tired of turning on ESPN and now that football is done and over with it seems like the only two things on ESPN anymore are steroids in baseball and the spygate and how congress is "interested in getting to the bottom of this". On Wednesday Roger Clemens and a handful of baseball players, trainers, and representatives are heading to Capital hill to discuss the findings of steroids in baseball. It is a day I am simply going to call "Black Wednesday". This is something that is baseballs problem not the governments. So there is controversy in sports, there are more pressing issues in my mind then worrying about who did and who didn't take steroids in the last 90's and early 2000...

Latest FIA Disclosures Implicate Alonso in Spygate
2007-09-14 23:27:00 Yes, It is Cheating ...Both the Sporting Life and the BBC have reported on the involvement of world champion Fernando Alonso in the McLaren/Ferrari spying debacle. The former have a fairly detailed transcript of an email chain between Fred and test driver Pedro de la Rosa, including de La Rosa’s statement that, “All the information from Ferrari is very reliable.”It is obvious that Ferrari’s Stepney was providing McLaren’s Coughlan for an extended period of time and that more than just the design documents were being shared. Undoubtedly, the flow of information into McLaren benefited the team, if nothing else providing them with confidence in their decisions and continuous pressure to improve their own designs.It will be interesting to learn more about Alonso’s involvement, and how much he benefited from the Ferrari data. Also intriguing is the revelation that Ron Dennis learned of his driver’s email communications during the Hungarian Gran Prix and reported the discove...

CameraGate? SpyGate? Patriot Games? [J. Mark English]
2007-09-13 03:28:00 Call it what you want, but the New England Patriots being caught cheating is bizarre. Bill Simmons, the Sports Guy, has more:For the past 24 hours, since CameraGate was exposed, I've been trying to think of a good excuse for Bill Belichick and the Patriots. There has to be a good excuse, right? So why couldn't I think of one? How could I save them from America's scorn? How could I remove those three asterisks from the Super Bowl titles? Even when I channeled my inner O.J. and decided, "If Belichick did cheat in the Jets game, it's only because he loved the Jets too much," it didn't quite work.The truth is, there's probably no saving the Pats. Everyone outside New England was searching for a legitimate reason to hate them for the past four years, and now they have an excellent one. Spying on opponent's signals is just plain seedy. It's one step above playing footsie with someone in an airport men's room. It's a disgrace. It's embarrassing. Even though everyone probably ch...
