Walsh Sends Tapes, No Walkthrough

The New York Times is reporting that Matt Walsh has finally sent the National Football League the videotapes he claimed to have in his possession from his tenure with the Patriots. Among the eight tapes, there was no evidence to support the accusations levied against the Patriots that they had taped the Rams walkthrough prior to the Super Bowl.
Ex-Patriots Assistant Sends the N.F.L. Eight Tapes
I hope this finally puts to rest this whole Spygate fiasco. The article pretty much just sums up what we already knew - the Patriots filmed other team's signals since Bill Belichick became the head coach in New England (though it does provide some more elaborate details on what was actually filmed).
I suppose it's also worth mentioning that Matt Walsh and Roger Goodell are still scheduled to meet on May 13th, so we'll probably have some more info come out by then. As of now, though, that seems to be the entire film collection he took once he was fired.

Confession may be good for the soul...
but a bit more urgency in Matt’s unburdening (oh, say, how about immediately after the allegations became public?) would have been more appropriate.
Guess Walsh was just a weasel after all – neither hero nor whistle-blower. He won’t be courted as celebrity by the media, Kurt Warner will have to find somebody else to blame for his misfortunes following the 2002 Super Bowl loss, and Sen. Arlen Specter will have to get over the choke-fest Superbowl his beloved Eagles lost three years later.
Where does that leave Boston Herald’s John Tomase, who felt compelled to write his infamous story the day before the Super Bowl, quoting his unnamed source that the Patriots videotaped the Rams’ walkthrough back in 2002? So far there are no unnamed sources squealing about how sorry he is to have caused such a ruckus back in February, or revealing how he is sincerely devoting himself to making sure he has some concrete evidence next time before spouting off and hurting others with false accusations.
Keep the faith!
