Everyone has a view on Spygate...
"I had the opportunity to talk to Commissioner Goodell yesterday and I was very satisfied with the NFL’s efforts to investigate the situation with Matt Walsh as it related to Super Bowl XXXVI. I’m very confident that there was no impropriety. I believed Bill Belichick when he said there wasn’t and I took that at face value. Let me make this clear – we lost to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl because we turned the ball over three times.” -- Former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz
“With the war in Iraq raging on, gasoline prices closing in on $4 a gallon, and Americans losing their homes at record rates to foreclosure, the United States Senate should be focusing on the real problems that Americans are struggling with. I’m looking forward to another great Patriots season where they can let their play on the field speak for itself.” -- Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts)
Note: Kennedy and Specter sit together on the 19-member Senate Judiciary Committee.
"When I was doing it, I understood what we were doing to be wrong. We went to great lengths to keep from being caught. Just saying that the rules were misinterpreted isn't enough of an apology or a reasoning for what was done. Coach Belichick's explanation for having misinterpreted the rules, to me, that really didn't sound like taking responsibility for what we had done, especially considering the great lengths that we had gone through to hide what we were doing." – Former Patriot Employee Matt Walsh
"What is necessary is an objective investigation…This has not been objective." -- Senator Arlen Specter
"We respectfully disagree with Senator Specter’s characterization of the investigation conducted by our office. We are following up after yesterday’s meeting with Matt Walsh." -- Statement from NFL
