To the Editor:
Senator Arlen Specter imagines that it is his and his fellow maharajahs' duty to investigate why the NFL destroyed the Patriots' tapes of the Jets ("Goodell Defends Handling of Patriots' Spying Case," February 2).
If I were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, I would respond to Sen. Specter's threat to call a Senate committee hearing to investigate this matter by saying only "Dear Sen. Specter: The rule that the Patriots violated is one that the NFL, not Congress, created. We are a private organization quite capable of enforcing our own rules. So butt out; this matter is none of your damn business. Sincerely...."
Sincerely,
