The guy leading the charge against the NFL is a Senator from PA. I forget his name. I guess he has nothing better to do than look into this "spying" issue. He wants to have a meeting with Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, and then the Senator wants to make phone calls and schedule additional meetings to see if the Patriots were really cheating and to what degree. Should we really care this much about the Patriots stealing defensive signals from other football teams? Yes, cheating is against the rules, but I seriously doubt it is against the law. The NFL should be able to deal with this incident however it feels is appropriate and Congress should get back to dealing with what is important for the nation.

Now, I do have mixed feelings about the steroid issue because that poses a serious health risk to the nation's young. How many kids will be taking steroids and other drugs so that they can try to become a pro athlete? That is the issue with that one. Steroids, EPO, and other performance enhancing drugs are rampant in the sport of cycling, which makes me completely sick because I thought about trying to go pro when I was 18. In hindsight, my parents were right about me going to college because there is no way I would have taken all the drugs, and that would have meant I wouldn't have been able to compete in the pro ranks.
