Super Bowl is over, Super Hearings to begin?

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)
Now that the Super Bowl is over, the real fun can start. Senator Arlen Specter is still angry about the Patriots taping scandal, and could meet with Commission Roger Goodell as early as Monday.
 "It could go to hearings," Specter said on the network's "Outside the Lines" program. "This is a matter to be considered by the committee. I don't want to make any broad assertions or elevate it beyond what I have a factual basis for doing. We're going to follow the facts and, if warranted, there could be hearings."    
 Besides the taping scandal, there is the looming issue of the NFL Network and Sunday Ticket's exclusive contract with DirecTV, which has been stewing below the surface for years.Also at issue could be the ugly sight of many retired NFL greats coming before the Committee wondering why the league, and especially the Players' Union headed by the disgusting Gene Upshaw goes so out of their way to deny them long term health care when their injuries are the result of play, just so current players don't have to give up any of their millions to a group of guys who built the league when $125,000 was considered a handsome sum for a veteran.  This may get fun to watch.

As a note, visiting http://capitolvalley.net as opposed to www.blah is bringing up the apache test page. I'm not sure if you have control of that, or your host does, but you probably want to fix it.

Should be fixed. Thanks, Jon.
