Walsh Gives NFL 8 Tapes of Pats Cheating
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3386162
Ex-Pats employee Walsh sends NFL video of Pats' taping After brokering a deal to protect himself, former New England Patriots employee Matt Walsh has finally turned over his evidence in the videotaping controversy. The New York Times reported and the NFL confirmed on Wednesday that Walsh sent eight tapes to the league that show the Patriots recording the play-calling signals of five opponents in six games between 2000 and 2002. Taping the signals of opposing teams is prohibited by league rules, and the Patriots were already fined $750,000 and docked a first-round draft choice in September for taping the New York Jets. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell left open the possibility that more penalties could be levied. A Patriots employee from 1997-2003, Walsh reached an agreement to turn over the tapes in exchange for being indemnified from all future legal fees. The New York Times obtained a list of the Walsh tapes, and the league confirmed that list, which says that the Patriots taped offensive and defensive coaches in regular-season games against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers. The team also made video of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2002 AFC Championship Game. Walsh's tapes do not include the video of the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl, as reported by the Boston Herald. "Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walk-through," said Walsh's lawyer Michael Levy, according to the Times. "Mr. Walsh has never been the source of any of the media speculation about such a tape. Mr. Walsh was not the source for the Feb. 2 Boston Herald article." Walsh has separate meetings scheduled on Tuesday with the commissioner and Senator Arlen Specter in which he is expected to provide additional details about the taping process. Under his agreement with the league, Walsh can retain copies of his videotapes, but he cannot use them without the consent of the NFL. |

If I had that moment, just once, of my team winning the whole whad would I care if they said we cheated 2-3 years later? No. Not just no, but HELL NO. For that moment, on SB weekend, to be the best after sOOOOOOOOOOoooo many years of....no. At this point I'd strangle my neighbor's grammy while she slept for a ring...

Lax? It was the heaviest punishment ever levied by the NFL in its entire history.

I know Patriots hating is in vogue, but you guys need to pay attention a little better before spouting off. The Pats admitting all this ages ago, so Walsh's tapes prove NOTHING that they didn't already ADMIT ***AND*** were punished for this past year.

What they did was bad enough. Putting incorrect spin on it to make it looks worse is hardly necessary.

A little more along the same lines. Seems like (as many expected) Walsh gave the NFL nothing new. It's unfortunate he felt the need to get involved at all.
