Double standard?
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter's call for the NFL to hire an independent investigator to look into the Spygate scandal apparently are falling on deaf ears. The NFL reportedly don't believe there is any reason to spend any more time on this issue, but it's clear Specter is not going to stop his pursuit of this case.
What is interesting about this is how the NFL always says that organizations have to be held to a higher standard than their players. If that's the case, why did guys like Pacman Jones, Chris Henry and Odell Thurman get long suspensions and Bill Belichick and the Patriots only got fined and lost a draft pick? I'm not saying the suspensions of those players weren't justified. It just seems that their punishment was a little harsher than the penalties levied against the Pats. But that's just one man's opinion. What's yours?
