Spygate investigation only benefits Patriots

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should stop wasting his time on Spygate.

No matter what former Patriots employee Matt Walsh tells Goodell on May 13, the facts aren’t going to change. The league is not about to take away the Patriots’ 2001 Super Bowl championship, even if Walsh did videotape the St. Louis Rams’ final practice before Super Bowl 36. And Goodell is not likely to dock the Patriots’ another draft pick.

The other 31 teams in the NFL are keenly aware that Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will take any advantage he can get. But all this extra attention by Goodell only serves to make teams even more worried about the Patriots, which means those teams can’t concentrate on what they can control. And that gives Belichick an even bigger advantage.

If Goodell really wants to punish the Patriots’ coach, sentence him to four hours of watching Saved By The Bell re-runs on an old VCR. If that doesn’t make you hate videotape, nothing will.

LeBron and Son?

I know because I looked it up: LeBron James is 23 years old. But the Cleveland Cavaliers' star must be one of those kids who started shaving at 12.

At 30, James is going to look like Fred Sanford without the flannel shirts.
