So what you’re saying is that this all has to do with Team CATV arrangments & the launching of the NFL channel? Lovely.

If you mean the attempt to cover up the extense of the Patriots cheating scandal, I'm not making the connection to the NFL Network.

The point is that, as disliked as Specter is, and he may have a financial interest or he may not, but he is also a fan who like the majority of fans in the NFL had a lot of questions and fortunately for NFL fans, he carries enough weight to have his questions answered.

Before Specter got involved, we knew that Roger Goodell and the NFL were aware of cheating taking place on opening day of 2007 and sometime during 2006. Now we find out that Belichick had admitted to Goodell back on September 13 that he had been employing this illegal tactic since he started as the coach of the Patriots but Goodell failed to mention this admission and quickly burned the "evidence". Keep in mind, Belichick says that he acted based on his interpretation of the rules. So it is safe to assume that Belichick employed his spy tactics (which he "believed" to be legal) at every opportunity, including the three Super Bowls.

Now, thanks to Specter, and unfortunately for Roger Goodell, we have the emergence of a former employee of the Patriots that apparently still holds "evidence" to shed light on the extense of Belichick's cheating. And also, hopefully, thanks to Specter, this "evidence' won't be destroyed and we'll get the truth, whatever that may be.
