Like most people not named Arlen Specter, the Steelers feel the 'Spygate' taping is old news. If there's a team that you could argue might still harbor some resentment, it's the Steelers, who has played the team four times since 2004. But the team issued a statement today from chairman Dan Rooney reiterating what the above story says, but in even stronger terms:
"We consider the tapes of our coaching staff during our games against the New England Patriots to be a non-issue. In our opinion, they had no impact on the results of those games.
"The Steelers fully support the manner in which Commissioner Goodell handled the situation and the discipline that he levied against those who violated league rules.
"We are confident that the Commissioner has taken appropriate action in his investigation of this matter, and will do so again if new information arises which requires further investigation and or discipline."

I believe you are very much mistaken in thinking that only Arlen Specter is concerned about the illegal taping. We the fans pay for the game and have a right to know what is going on even when it is negative. I believe PFW, like many other publications, are too closely aligned to the league and therefor relunctant to post feature articles on this matter.

I am curious why the mainstream press refuses to post the real reason why Spector is pushing the NFL on this. The # 1 Contributor to his campaigns are the lawyers negoitiating on behalf of Comcast Cable in a financial deal despute with the NFL Network. Guess who the # 2 $$$ is yup you guessed it Comcast!!! Who should be investigating who?
