Specter Backs Off Owens Dispute

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Arlen Specter backed off a threat to have a Senate subcommittee investigate whether the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles violated antitrust laws in their handling of Terrell Owens.

Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday that he talked to lawyers in the Department of Justice about the issue.

"I think it's more a matter for them than us because we've got ... a lot of matters which take precedence over this for our own time," said Specter, R-Pa.

This couldn't have anything to do with the brisk pounding he took in the blogosphere after he announced his intentions to get involved, could it?

Comments

Spector at first did not realize that the millionaire had a dispute with billionaires.
Which side of that bread is buttered?

To this day I still can’t figure out why Bush went to bat for this RINO over Pat Toomey.

Politics. You always back the incumbent.

He is still a complete and utter jack-ass for even suggesting that he would get involved. I hope his opponents bring this up and mock him every time they can. To this day I still can’t figure out why Bush went to bat for this RINO over Pat Toomey.
