Specter looms over NFL
Sen. Arlen Specter must not have anything better to do. I can understand how he might feel he needs to butt in (no pun intended) on the steroid hearings. But now he wants to get involved in the Patriots “Spygate” scandal.
On an aside, am I the only one getting sick of seeing “gate” attached to the end of anything involving a “scandal?”
The U.S. is involved in military conflict, people are acting like Chicken Little on the economy and I’m sure there are constituents of his in Pennsylvania who would like something or the other done, yet this Senator has to stick his nose into something that broke NFL rules and not the law? Sounds to me that he has a bit too much time on his hands, or he just wants publicity. Maybe he is starting his 2012 presidential campaign early. Whatever the reason, I think it stinks.

Sports guy watches Oprah
Yeah, it surprised me, too. But on Thursday, I was flipping through channels and caught the Buffalo Bills’ Kevin Everett talking about his rehabilitation. When they finished with that segment, I was ready to flip again, but they brought on the family of UNC mascot Jason Ray, who died after being hit by a car. He had insisted on being an organ donor and Oprah had three people who had their lives saved by his donated organs. It was a very good show, even if it was Oprah. That will probably be the last time I write that previous sentence.
