Well, Peter King is back on his Spygate Soapbox - New England Patriots Forums

It didn't take long. From his Monday Morning QB:

Quote:

1. I think if the silly lawsuit filed by the former Rams player we've never heard of, or the rantings of Arlen Specter can get us closer to the bottom of how much the Patriots taped and whether those tapes ever influenced the outcome of a Super Bowl, I'm all for it.

The most significant thing I've read in the last few days came from Dave Goldberg of the Associated Press, who got the attorney of former Patriot video aide Matt Walsh to reveal that Walsh has tapes from his employment with the Patriots. Tapes, plural. This thing will not go to bed until we know what is on those tapes. Which leads us to ...

2. I think it's inevitable. We've got to hear what Walsh has to say. If we don't, the world will root against Bill Belichick even harder next year (that's hard to imagine) because they'll be sure he's been cheating since 2000, and probably before, and wasn't punished enough by the commissioner.

If we do hear from Walsh, then the book should be closed either way. Either Belichick will get whacked more by Roger Goodell, or the Patriots will be able to say: "See? We really didn't gain an edge taping Super Bowl foes illegally.'' And we can be done with it.

I've said this from the beginning: If an edge was gained in any of the three three-point New England Super Bowl wins, that puts this story on a different level. That's why we must chase every lead to discover if any evidence exists that any of those Super Bowls were compromised. And I don't care what any pooh-poohing coach will say. In my opinion, if a team tapes a walkthrough the day before a Super Bowl, and knows which plays the opposition runs at that walkthrough, it's an advantage. Potentially a big advantage.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how a Senator butting into NFL's business because he is a disgruntled Eagles fan is a good thing no matter what he uncovers.

the #1 thing that is needed right now is for the truth to come out.

If walsh is a lying sack of ***** - let it come out

If the pats had walk through tapes - let it come out

If every other team does the same thing and the NFL knows about it - let it come out.

How can the Pats have walkthrough tapes if Walsh has them?

i love that argument, as if a guy whose job it is to edit video can't copy a tape in 10 minutes.

I don't see any problem here in what King said.

Of course, Reiss article came out on Sunday, and this is King's Monday column.

Which means he missed the real story.

Peter seems like a milk and cookies get to bed early type of guy.

I agree with Peter about how the truth needs to come out...I think it basically did, and even if it does its not gonna change the minds of Pats haters. They are always gonna believe what they want to make themselves feel better. I do find it interesting however that Mr. King is SOOO intent and focused to getting to the bottom of the cheating, yet fails to mention all of the other allegations of cheating in the NFL. It seems to me, if he was a fair and unbiased individual he would want all allegations to be investigated.

***PatsFanJess*** · 02-18-2008, 01:03 AM

I also enjoy the part where he says he doesnt care what any "pooh poohing" coach has to say about it. wow thats interesting...arent those the people who probably have the most understanding of what happened and get the concept of it all and put it into perspective. I mean how is "pooh pooh." And who says "pooh pooh"? I guess he thinks hell get more insightful information from "unnamed anonymous sources" as the rest of the media does as well. I guess if theres no fictious stories about the Pats, SI wont sell anymore??
