Talk about a deer in the headlights...no substance...no class...looked like a baby who had his toys taken away and didn't honor his players in the least... classless... the guy might be a great disciplinarian, but man did he blow the curtain call... worse than the Pats did the game.

That whole part of the Times story seemed...strange. And since my resident poli sci major is back home, he explained the Senate interest to me (hey, I'm an English major!). I'd find Specter a little more credible if he weren't so obviously out for publicity and the Eagles. (Curious--being a Steelers fan, are you a little miffed he didn't mention the Pats wins over the Steelers on the way to some of those Super Bowls? I mean, supposedly he represents all of PA, right?) I saw Goodell's comments to the NFL Network crew last night, and while he often rubs me the wrong way, he seemed credible to me. It'll be interesting, I suppose, to see how far Specter gets with this. <em>Specter is from Philadelphia, so it's always been obvious where his loyalties lie, and the two cities have basically nothing in common except for license plates. For all intents and purposes, they are in different states. I wouldn't be able to answer any questions about why Specter didn't mention the Steelers at all, except to say that I'd bet he watched those AFC Championship games, and between Kordell Stewart wrapping his hands around his throat for the entire fourth quarter, and Ben Roethlisberger running out of gas about three games before that one, it's fair to assume stealing a sign or two had nothing to do with the outcome. I do think, though, Specter and his associates are smart enough to realize we're in an election year, and his home state is largely democratic. I know from personal experience the people of the City of Brotherly Apathy are quite powerful when united under a banner, and a certain democratic candidate was recently endorsed by Sen. Ted Kennedy, a Bostonian Democrat through-and-through. Supporting the opposite of New England seems to be where the Republicans would want to be, but New York isn't any different as far as political loyalties, so simply coming out in support of the Giants isn't going to help anything. Maybe I've had too much coffee, I dunno, but a rational person cannot possibly discount the timing of Specter's announcement as a simple coincidence. But between you, me and the 12 people actually reading this, it is far more entertaining to read than the media scraping the barrel for news in a very boring pre-Super Bowl time, leading up to what will be an extremely boring 45-20 Patriots win.</em> I had the same thoughts on Matt Walsh.
