Forget the self indulgent timing but is their not a better use of Senate time than raking the NFL brass over behavior which clearly is not in the same class with little kids using steroids.
I wonder why it came up this week......

The behavior of Congress in regards to sports is unsettling at best, a joke at worst. The NFL destroyed tapes because the case is over, the parties have been penalized and the rest of the world including the NFL have moved on. Except this publicity hound who obviously wants to deflect attention away from the disgraceful performance of Congress onto a popular subject like the internal policies of the NFL. What exactly is to be gained by keeping the tapes of the Jets defensive signals? No laws were broken, only NFL rules which change from year to year anyway. The timing is typical political self-importance at its worst.
