    In fact, Fox did acquire one of the tapes and showed excerpts during one of its pregame shows, infuriating the NFL hierarchy. "I think it was the best way to make sure the Patriots followed my instructions, to make sure that bit of information would not appear anywhere again ... If it did, I’d know they didn’t hand me all the information. Not having those tapes out there, now I know if something arises, they didn’t tell me the truth." Seated in the VIP section were Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan. Full Article at Boston Herald
    I think it was the best way to make sure the Patriots followed my instructions, to make sure that bit of information would not appear anywhere again ... If it did, I’d know they didn’t hand me all the information. Not having those tapes out there, now I know if something arises, they didn’t tell me the truth.

Specter looms over NFL on eve of Super Sunday
  1. I think what they did this year certainly was done within the NFL rules and on a level playing field ... I think their record is extraordinary; no team has ever gone 18-0 before and I think they should be congratulated for that.

  2. I would be more than willing to speak with Sen. Specter. I think there are very good explanations for why I destroyed the tape or had them destroyed by my staff. The evidence was totally consistent with what (the Patriots) told me. There was no purpose for them.

  3. The NFL has a very preferred status in our country with their antitrust exemption ... The American people are entitled to be sure about the integrity of the game. It’s analogous to the CIA destruction of tapes. Or any time you have records destroyed.

  4. The incentive should be for every team to win as many games as possible

  5. I think the action that we took was decisive and unprecedented ... It sent a loud message to not only the Patriots, but to every NFL team that you should follow the rules and you better follow the rules.

  6. I’m fine with everything that was said ... I think the commissioner did a great job.
