Specter on Limbaugh show: "There was filming" - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

I think we all know that Specters posturing is all about the Comcast/NFL feud and has nothing to do with the Patriots. He is using the Pats as a pawn for Comcast.

Besides, he didn't say there was evidence that there was taping. That could just be Walsh's story that he told Specter with no evidence to back it up.

This does raise questions of Specter's and Levy's relationship since Levy is showing Specter communications between them and the NFL. That isn't illegal, but you gotta wonder if Specter is funding Levy either directly or indirectly (through Comcast).

If Walsh tapped without the Pats permission and the Pats never saw the tape, it's no big deal. It makes the Rams look stupid. He might have a tape (doubt it) but his big problem is proving that anyone in the Pats organization actually saw it. Did he make two tapes and keep one? That's what he will say no doubt. The onus is on Specter to prove that and that's what the legal fight is. They have no proof. End of story.

I think that, for convenience, we should call this Walsh's paradox: If a tape exists, why haven't we seen it yet?

[I take this from Fermi's paradox--if extraterrestrial life exists, why haven't we detected it yet?]

I tell ya, Eagles fans just don't know when to let go.

If I was an Eagles fan I would be embarrassed by Specter's behavior. I know some Eagles fans and they put the Super Bowl loss on the shoulders of McNabb.

Sure they do. Moreover, Andy Reid has already said that the signals were entirely different between the earlier game and the Super Bowl--so even if the Pats were attempting to use the signals gained earlier to their advantage in the game, which I do not believe, they would have been unsuccessful; in fact, they probably would have been slaughtered. This has nothing to do with the Eagles, and he is a posturing blowhard for continuing to insinuate otherwise.

The real bombshell from this interview that no one mentions: The NFL is trying to dissuade Walsh from coming forward, and Specter has seen letters from the NFL saying so.

If this is true, it's horrible for the league and makes Roger Goodell look like a hypocrite. That's what Specter was talking about when he said "light a fire" under this thing. He's giving the impression the NFL has something to hide... basically saying that publicly, the NFL has been throwing the Patriots under the bus, while privately trying to sweep it under the rug.

The government and Specter are not going after the Patriots. Big picture... they are giving the NFL the Microsoft treatment, the same treatment they give every billion dollar corporation.

"...there was filming..." Who in the world knows what that means?

it's time to get this over with and learn what Walsh has and what he has to say.

if all he has is more innuendo, accusing the Pats of filming the walkthrough or of filming during SB XXXVI, but no proof in the form of a tape, then people will just go on believing what they already believe and the story will eventually go away. if he has a tape, then it's all over for us. it won't matter if the Pats management claims it was "unauthorized." no one outside this board will believe them.
