PHOENIX (AP) — Spygate won't go away.
Roger Goodell defended his decision to destroy notes and videotapes linked to the New England Patriots' cheating scandal Friday, a day after Sen. Arlen Specter asked why the NFL commissioner trashed the evidence.
SPECTER SPEAKS OUT: Asks NFL to explain why Patriots tapes were destroyed
"The action that we took was decisive and it was unprecedented," Goodell said during his State of the NFL address, an annual news conference at the Super Bowl.
"I believe it was helpful in making sure our instructions were followed closely by not only the Patriots, but also by every other team. I think it was the appropriate thing to do. Our discipline sent a loud message ..."
Specter, R-Pa., said Goodell's explanation, "didn't make any sense at all."
