Comcast, Senator Team Up To Screw You

020408specter.jpg

Hey, guess, what, fellas? Will Bunch has quite the scoop! Turns out Arlen Specter doesn’t really care about you, or the Eagles, at all! Yes, apparently he only cares about people who give him money, making him a politician.

As you may have read earlier, Specter wants to investigate the NFL for Spygate because he just loves fair sports so much and there hasn’t been much else going on in Washington. Ha ha, that’s just what ol’ Arlen said, though, and I hope you knew it wasn’t true since a politician said it.

Bunch writes that two of Specter’s biggest donors are Comcast and lobbying firm Blank Rome, who lobbies for Comcast. Comcast, as you know, is in a war with the NFL over the NFL Network. (Isn’t it cute when multi-million dollar corporations fight?) This is probably why Arlen Specter is angry about the NFL’s exclusive deal with DirecTV, yet silent on Comcast SportsNet’s refusal to sell the channel to satellite systems.

Basically, all it means is a politician is screwing you over. But you already knew that.

Eagles To Retroactively Win Super Bowl 39

Arlen Specter revealed today he really just wants to bring a Super Bowl title to Philadelphia. He said he’s going to talk to the NFL to see if they really investigated the Patriots spying on other teams and if they investigated the Super Bowl where the Pats beat the team his constituents root for, the Eagles.

Hey, that’s the team I root for, too! Alright, Arlen Specter. If no team is going to win on the field, then we’re going to make the NFL recordbook look like that year in the Public League where FLC won on the buzzer-beater but were stripped off it later. (Or something like that.)

Specter said he would call NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell just hours after the game, which means he could be on the phone with him now. Arlen Specter will hopefully eventually call for hearings as hilarious as the baseball hearings, where the players all said they never did steroids and it turns out, whoops!, they all did steroids.

“If they were filming the walk-though in 2002 and they were stealing the signals in 2007, what happened in 2005 with the Eagles?” Specter told 610 WIP’s Angelo Cataldi. Yes, really.
