Somehow I'm just not surprised that this loser will go after the NFL now....

Is this clown going after ESPN for Monday night football as well?

Just damn. Doesn't he have anything better to worry about?
I'm a Cowboys fan living in VA. Due to how cable networks broadcast their games based on region, I'm forced to watch the Redskins every Sunday(imagine that). With packages like the ones he's pointlessly bitching about I can see my team play every Sunday.

I'm just grateful that the senior Senator from Pennsylvania has the big issues properly prioritized.

I would interpret it as such...
Specter said the NFL should not use the exemption to negotiate exclusive programming packages such as DirectTV Inc.'s "Sunday Ticket," which allows viewers to watch teams outside their regional market.
I would say that there is a very slim chance that anything will change. There is a law professor in the story that says that chances are it wouldn't stand a court challenge.

Spectre will always be a joke.

Okay, I'm just going to have to go up to Pennsylvania and kick his Scottish butt.
Enough is enough.

Who cares about Iran? We need to drag Tagliabue in for hearings!
Scumbags, the bloody lot of them.

If I moved to an area where I couldn't watch the Ravens, I would either buy a dish or find a bar with the NFL Ticket package. Jeez. It is not that hard.

Note to Arlen: A U.S. Senator has more-important things to do than make sure that a game - A GAME - is according to your liking.

Spector should stop wasting his time with this nonsense and instead focus on the important stuff. For example, how and why did the Pittsburgh Stealers bribe the refs to steal the superbowl from the Seahawks last year????

I don't know what Specter could be thinking?
The NFL isn't a monopoly, there is plenty of competition for the entertainment dollar. The league is just maximizing its revenue, who can argue with that?
If someone doesn't want to pay for these broadcasts, then don't. Watch something else on the other 200 TV stations, listen to radio programs, go out bowling, to a movie, to a bar.
To: MikefromOhio
Sounds like he is mad about something.
I guess he must have lost the Senate football pool last week.
