Specter of Spying
The Super Bowl is done and, for all intents and purposes, the football season is over. However, a "specter" still lingers over the game -- GOP Arlen Specter's letter, revealed last week, to Commissioner Roger Goodell that demanded an explanation as to why the NFL destroyed the Patriots' infamous "Spygate" tapes. It's quite natural for most people to say, "Why on earth is Congress butting its nose into this, months after the issue was settled -- and in the middle of Super Bowl week at that?"
Well, Gregg Easterbrook kept following this story -- the destroying of the tapes -- from early on. He's mentioned it a few times in his "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" column on ESPN.com. Over the weekend, he brought everyone up to date, why the league appropriately has egg on its face -- and has some 'splaining to do.
