Spygate Nonsense to End Tuesday
By Paul M. Banks
On Tuesday May 13th, the NFL will release information pertaining to everything former Patriots employee Matt Walsh has to “show and tell” about the Patriots supposedly unethical videotaping procedures. From what we’ve heard in preliminary reports (and how can you not trust ESPN’s John Clayton?…guy who looks exactly like the type of guy who took the exams for the New England Patriots players while they were in college so that they could remain academically eligible) this will all be over soon. And by this, I MEAN THE FREAKIN STORY THAT WON’T GO AWAY! In the past year, I have written tens of thousands of words about the Patriots…total number that pertained to Spygate: less than a hundred. Why? Because I know how much all of you are sick of this story. Luckily, we will all be put out of our misery soon. And I will show my “patriotism” accordingly. I am typing this from a computer less than a mile from the Pentagon in our glorious nation’s capital. I am hoping to use my “Inside the Beltway” contacts here to help me have a “sit-down” with Republican Senator Arlen Specter. Obviously, I have much to express to Mr. Specter, who seemed to think that a football team stealing defensive signals was a cause more worthy of his time and influence than…doing something about the billions of taxpayer dollars being squandered and thousands of lives being lost in an unwinnable war in Iraq, the climate crisis, the tens of millions of Americans without health care, the tens of millions of Americans living below the poverty line, etc. etc. etc. It will be sweet to see Senator Specter humbled and defeated on Tuesday.
I have special plans to celebrate the Pats’ being absolved from Spygate by 1.) visiting the International Spy Museum here in Washington http://www.spymuseum.org/about/faq.php
2.) Going to the Boston Red Sox game Tuesday night (they play the Orioles in Baltimore) It’s going to be a bright sunshiney day indeed!
OK, if you know me well then you’ve probably figured out that I really didn’t come to the capital because of this “news story” and I did not plan my trip according to the announcement. It’s just a bunch of coincidences.
By the way, “The Week in Review” will not be seen at it’s regular Tuesday slot this week. A mini edition of WIR will be posted late Wed/early Thu. I will make up for it next week with a special “capitol edition!” WIR that will feature a picture of me with Teddy Roosevelt from the Washington Nationals’ Presidents Race. It will be worth the wait!

Roosevelt was a pretty cool guy in person…very down to Earth hasnt let his fame get to him!
I agree, The spygate thing was way to overrated….I video tape my hot neighbor all the time, and I did not get in trouble for it…Wait…I mean…Nevermind….
Can’t wait for the interview with Teddy.
But don’t be so hard on Arlen. He’s done some good things.
thank god this crap will be over… at least I hope… spygate has become like Roger Clemens, anytime something new comes out regarding the topic, I just don’t care anymore…
Yep, that’s right….what’s the government doing sticking it’s nose into rampant cheating by the dominant NFL team this decade? Why don’t they spent their time and our hard earned tax dollars on something useful?
Why not spend more money dragging Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds up in front of Congress and grill em some more?
Better yet, I haven’t had enough OJ. Why not drag OJ’s ass in front of Congress?
Between that and pissing away a billion a day in Iraq, no wonder this country can’t afford any decent Goddam healthcare!
Hey Banks, hope you kicked ‘ol Teddy Roosevelt’s ass in your little footrace.

Hey Jason….do all the guys on thesportsbank.net a favor…. post some of those hot neighbor videos, willya?
Yeah bring on those girls gone wild style vids Jason!
The Clemens thing was abominal! you can tell what a horrible liar he was when he was up in front on congress. during the testimony he had the worst poker face ever
Henry,
Arlen was ok when he was on Bill Maher a few weeks ago. I did agree with much of what he said in that interview, plus I feel for him on his personal health history. he’s over come a lot.
Seymour,
Teddy is very top heavy (as you can see from the picture) so beating in a footrace was easily achieved with a strategy of forcing him to maintain his very high center of gravity.
Jason Moe moe moe moe moe moe moe, does she have apple bottoms jeans and boots with the fur? the whole club was looking at her? she hit the floor?
the video sounds like Week in Review material
You know what was weird abouthe Clemens vs. McNamee heargins on Capitol hill? all the Dems sided with the whistleblower trainer and all the GOP sided with the roided up lying pitcher! weird how it conformed exactly like that. I would have picked the left side anyway…
by the way I was watching an HBO documentary on “The shot heard the world,” not the musket fired at Redcoats on the Lexington Green in 1775, but the homer hit by Bobby Thomson in 1951 to give the New York Giants the pennant over the Brooklyn Dodgers and you know what the doc told us? THE GIANTS STOLE SIGNALS FROM CENTER FIELD ALL SEASON!!! They had a whole elaborate system of relaying signals through a guy stationed in centerfield?? They were in a huge whole for the last two months and made up a ton of ground on the Dodgers BY STEALING SIGNALS!!
So there you go, this story is anything but unprecedented, one of the biggest and most inspirational moments in ALL BASEBALL HISTORY was only made possible and meaningful because of the exact same kind of cheatting.
So maybe the Pats and Belichick arent’ “so evil” after all?
Seymour you must have been a young and spry man in his 30s during that famous NL pennant race?
Banks, She does have apple bottom jeans…She also likes WAR KITTENS!!!
I hope to put some videos up after the weekend..I hope I can send them through my phone…
And now Specter wants another indepedent investigation? let it go man!!!! The senator must have a man-crush on Eric Mangini or something!
WAR KITTENS!
