This explains why Sen. Arlen Specter, the highest-ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants a few more answers from Goodell. Scoff, if you will, at the concept of Congress getting involved in a football ethics debate when the world is filled with more critical problems. But not until Congress put baseball on steroids watch three years ago did the earth move, kick-starting a chain reaction that turned the public against juicers, emboldened investgators and journalists and led to the Mitchell Report and perjury indictment of Barry Bonds. If the Patriots cheated only once, maybe I'd understand Goodell's case-is-closed attitude. But do we know if the Patriots cheated only once? And what if they cheated during their other championship seasons, including Super Bowls? It is Goodell's job to know those definitive answers. Just as baseball needs to separate honest players from cheaters, football must try its best to do the same as the Patriots bid for a place in the all-time sports pantheon. Obviously, he didn't do nearly enough homework to know. Enter Congress.
