First baseball
A while back, some senators (ahem, McCain) wanted to investigate steroids in baseball. Now, Arlen Specter wants to have hearings on the supposed cheating in pro football. Congress should mind its own business and stick with doing things that it’s, you know, authorized by law to do. Say, how’s that approval rating again?

When are they going to investigate steroid use by police?

Baseball was given a Congressional ‘monopoly’ and therefore falls under the direct purvey of Congress. Hence, they report to them on matters of the game.
Slightly off topic, but, don’t you find it interesting that Congress directly interviewed people and held hearings on the steroids in baseball, but created a non-Congressional ‘committee’ to investigate 9/11?

That’s why I have no interest in pro-sports anymore. It’s all a bunch of crap. Olympics? I’d rather wash my feet.

You’re looking at this all wrong. I think that this is a VERY important matter that requires the full attention of Congress for, at least, the immediate future.
I say that Congress should just set aside a month to get all the necessary legislating done and devote the rest of their terms to finding out where the Patriots hid the cameras and who injected Barry Bonds with what. If they have any time left, they should investigate what’s up with Britney Spears.
The country would be a better place if the government would spend all of its legislative resources on being the federal sports commission.

I think robert is on to something. I’d only add that Congress should spend more time investigating drug use and cheating by Congressmen, say three weeks out of that month they would otherwise spend on legislation. Then yeah, Britney, that Aruba rape case, Princess Diana, Nessie, BigFoot, drinking heavily, and investigating UFOs should take up the rest of their time.
