I'm guessing if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had it to do over, he wouldn't have destroyed all the evidence related to Patriotgate. Now, five months later, the story is back in the news, the Patriots' three Super Bowl championships are under scrutiny, and the league's credibility is in question.

All thanks to Senator Arlen Specter, who spent Wednesday quizzing Goodell about the scandal and the league's role in covering it up promptly putting the incident in the rearview. Amazingly, Specter chose not to pimp Comcast during the meet-and-greet, but instead actually managed to unearth some before-now-unknown nuggets.

And there's more, courtesy of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette:

"I think Steelers fans have a lot to be concerned about this and I'm one of them,'' Mr. Specter told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview yesterday, adding that "maybe Steelers ownership should think about it a little."

Two days ago, I wrote that following his meeting with Goodell, Specter indicated that the Patriots had videotaped two Steelers games during the 2004 season. Well, now it's four games, including the 2001 AFC Championship and the 2002 season opener. Finally, we can all stop blaming Kordell Stewart and his two costly end-of-game interceptions for that 2001 loss. Okay, maybe not.
