Congress Finds Another Document Scandal

It's bad enough that the CIA destroyed some tapes of bad guys getting a waterboard shampoo, but oh the horrors! - the NFL destroyed some documents and Congress wants an explanation:

With the Super Bowl fast approaching, a senior Republican senator says he wants the NFL to explain why it destroyed evidence of the New England Patriots cheating scandal.

"I am very concerned about the underlying facts on the taping, the reasons for the judgment on the limited penalties and, most of all, on the inexplicable destruction of the tapes," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., in a Thursday letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the matter could put the league's antitrust exemption at risk.

"Their antitrust exemption has been on my mind for a long time," he said in a Capitol Hill news conference.

What possible business is it of Congress what the NFL does with its own internal disciplinary procedures? Can't Specter find something else to do with his time?
