Why Spygate isn't over yet

Matt Walsh may be off the hook, but SpyGate isn't over yet. The league is planning to re-interview former Patriots defensive assistant Brian Daboll, currently the Jets' QB coach, because of questions surrounding the infamous walkthrough. In his meeting with Goodell, Walsh admitted he was on the sideline during the Rams' walkthrough - in Patriots garb, no less - preparing his equipment for the game. Walsh told Goodell he didn't tape the session and wasn't instructed to spy, per se, but he revealed that Daboll quizzed him afterward. Walsh told Daboll he noticed that star running back Marshall Faulk was returning kickoffs, league attorney Gregg Levy said. (Faulk did, in fact, return one kickoff in the game.) Daboll also asked Walsh about the Rams' offensive formations, particularly the role of the tight end, according to Levy, who said the Walsh-Daboll conversation lasted less than 10 minutes. "What Matt Walsh told us was inconsistent with our prior understanding," league spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail. "Brian Daboll did not tell us that."

If they had anybody with a good law enforcement backround running an investigation, this would have been cleaned up months ago. And these wimps probably would have turned like leaves and more would have come out. Lets pray it is over soon.

NFL and Patriots have a new advertizing deal with Mabeline Cover Up. Removes all blemishes from sight.

You have a very good point... but man was that wrong. Its ok though, because I have a sick sense of humor too.

In the end, who cares? Isn't it the same as when you send someone incognito to another teams training camp? And if someone tries to say that doesn't happen is kidding themselves. Yes, taping is wrong. But telling someone what you saw isn't a big deal.

Hey look... the sun just rose in the east... someone want to put me in front of a congressional panel? I am SOOOO glad our tax dollars are spen ton worthwhile things... unlike feeding the poor and helping us with the price of gas.

Pats taped signals. Pats were caught and a huge punishment was given. Walsh doesn't have anything else to show. Specter is an Incompetent bozo excuse for an elected official. Goodell needs to let this go. The media needs to let this go and the goodball post editor should be fired. End of Story

Could the NFL blow this situation and their handling of it any more? I don't want to know. I am so tired of this story at this point.

So Walsh was setting up his equipment while watching the Rams practice. I guess this single moment in NFL history was the beginning of the Patriots' success. What NFL team does Walsh work for now? Obviously, he's a football genius.

oh yeah by the way, this too, from the Boston Herald (both full page front and back pages):

"APOLOGY

On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots [team stats]??? video staff taped the St. Louis Rams??? walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald based its Feb. 2, 2008, report on sources that it believed to be credible, we now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed.

Prior to the publication of its Feb. 2, 2008, article, the Boston Herald neither possessed nor viewed a tape of the Rams??? walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI, nor did we speak to anyone who had. We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification.

The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots [team stats]??? owners, players, employees and fans for our error."

so bottom line the Pats got caught putting cameras in an area not acceptable anymore...

Grossedout....you gotta get a life, pal, especially now that everyone else is apologizing....don't expect you to do that, though, you're too busy trolling for responses to your droll and pendant comments...

Loki, don't waste your time with this guy, we're going 19-0 this year....

by the way, Eli will lead the league in INT's this year...

May 14, 2008  08:37 AM ET

The Boston Herald has NEVER in it's history, issued an apology like that.....

Pat's Haters, time to move on and get a new schtick...

Even Peter King from ESPN is looking like a jerk on this one....

Even Peter King? You must have a very generous definition of the term.

So because he believes illegally taping signals of the opposing team is cheating he is a jerk. Read his column. He makes a good point about what he believes and why he believes it is wrong.
