Relive the greatest moments in NFL History.
In a unique illustration of the intersection of sports, culture and politics, as well as a last-ditch effort to convince the American public that they are in fact accomplishing something, Congress has adopted a Big Brother attitude towards professional sports. While they leave no stone uncovered in the supposed steroids scandal involving several Yankees stars, how many illegal immigrants are sneaking over the border? Now Arlen Specter wants to investigate "Spy-Gate." Congress needs to butt out. If they're so desperate for something to do they could try finding Osama bin Laden or even running for president. Steroids and spying didn't help either the Yankees or the Patriots. The humiliation should be enough. It's sad that we now live in a country where the government feels its input is wanted on every area of life.
