Arlen Specter, who was observing meetings between Matt Walsh and Roger Goodell, says that Goodell is setting a terrible precedent by letting the Patriots get away with cheating.

“If you can cheat in the NFL, you can cheat in college, you can cheat in high school, you can cheat on your grade-school math test,” he said.

Specter is actually 100% correct. Some of my friends cheated in high school a few years ago and got detention for a month, so it is true that you can cheat in high school.

I’m not sure if you can cheat in grade-school, though, but Specter will probably impart on an intensive investigation of the topic.

Specter has no qualms about bias with his investigations. He admitts himself that he is driven by his constituents support for the Steelers, whom the Patriots defeated in the playoffs in 2005:

“I’m elected by 12 million people, and a lot of them are Steeler fans. … Frankly I’m incensed about what happened with the Steelers.”

As a Cavs fan, I’m hoping my Senater, the honorable George Voinovich, does his patriotic duty and starts an investigation against the Spurs.

Specter should also investigate Barry Bonds. If you can cheat in baseball, I think you might be able to cheat in grade school.

I’m sure Bonds has hit some big home runs against the Phillies at some time during his career and possibly been responsible for defeating the Phillies. His constituents deserve to know why someone was allowed to cheat to beat their team.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Barack Obama responds to Specter’s investigation. Obama is trying to gain some ground among working class “bitter” white people, and I’m sure a lot of white Pennslyvanians are bitter about what happened to the Steelers and Eagles. In fact, maybe Obama will start wearing a Steelers lapel pin.
