In the face of congressional pressure over destroying evidence from the Spygate scandal, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell defended his actions Friday.
Goodell also said he'd be willing to meet with Sen. Arlen Specter, who sent a letter to the commissioner the previous day asking why tapes shot by the New England Patriots in the cheating scandal were destroyed.
"The reason I destroyed the tapes is they were totally consistent with what the team told me," Goodell said during his State of the NFL speech. "It was the appropriate thing to do and I think it sent a message."
Oh, c'mon Specter. Is there really nothing more substantive to the well being of the country that you could focus on? Everything else is hunky dory I guess.
The folks from Pennsylvania must be thrilled.

No shit. That goofy tape Clemens made of his trainer...oh wait, maybe if Arlen was worried about missing fucking tapes, his not-worried-about-reelection-or-seniority-now-that-he-is-in-the-permanent-minority ass could focus just a bit on a set of missing tapes that all but condones torture of American troops, including a couple of guys I know, if the goddamned Iranians, or the Chinese in a repeat of their 2001 bullshit, get hold of them. My concern about sports has its limits and pretty goddamned severe ones at that.
