In an interview with the editorial board of the Philadelphia Daily News, Sen. Arlen Specter says he has gone as far as he can go in pressing for more investigation of the Spygate story, and adds that he will not bring the issue before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he is the ranking Republican. He says the committee "already has too much to do."

Specter has been the most public critic of the way the NFL has handled the scandal resulting from the Patriots' videotaping practices, even calling for an independent investigation of the affair that would be modeled on baseball's Mitchell Report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Specter also says he is "not interested" in the allegations by former NBA referee Tim Donaghy about the manipulation of playoff games by the league.
