ruh roh - Belichick has been taping since 2000, Goodell tells Specter
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bill Belichick has been illegally taping opponents' defensive signals since he became the New England Patriots' coach in 2000, according to Sen. Arlen Specter, who said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told him that during a meeting Wednesday.

"There was confirmation that there has been taping since 2000, when Coach Belichick took over," Specter said.

Specter said Goodell gave him that information during the 1-hour, 40-minute meeting, which was requested by Specter so the commissioner could explain his reasons for destroying the Spygate tapes and notes.

"There were a great many questions answered by Commissioner Goodell," Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters after the meeting. "I found a lot of questions unanswerable because of the tapes and notes had been destroyed."

Goodell said Belichick told him he believed the taping was legal; Goodell said he did not concur.

2. I'm so glad
that the Senate Judiciary Committee has time to look into the actions of an NFL football team. I mean, it really is great to live in a country that is running so perfectly, by such competent leaders, that the Senate has nothing more important to investigate.

Or something the fuck like that.

:mad:

3. Yeah, really. It's not like there's more important matters to look into.
