U.S. Senator Arlen Specter is accusing the New England Patriots of 'stonewalling' the investigation into the team's past of recording opponent practices, according to the Associated Press. Specter's take on the developments is vastly different than that of Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was optimistic that everything would be cleared up before long. "My suspicion is that they're going to put enough conditions on it so that he won't talk," Specter told ESPN.com. "If they had wanted Walsh to talk, it would have been done a long time ago. They are not helped by keeping him on ice, unless they intend to [permanently] keep him on ice."
