Re: PFT/Peter King: Walsh deal could come as soon as today (4/22)
Im not believing this for a second. NOT A SECOND! We're supposed to walk the plank again, days before the draft, because as Peter King says, " I sense a thaw in the air"????? NO. Not this time. What's that? He also throws in, "I have a feeling...we COULD" blah, blah, blah, blah. NOPE. Not happenin'. He doesnt know squat. He can feel whatever he wants. He can thaw out his ice cold relationship with the Pats organization at this point for all I care. He doesnt know the first thing about this situation or the New England Patriots right now. He's speculating just like the rest of the world because, as has been pointed out by some astutely opinionated voices on this board, that OF COURSE, its 5 days before the draft and its time to once again unveil this story to further hype an NFL event. Sell another story. Fuel the sports talk radio fire. This is highly predictable. But the 2 words at this point that I absolutely CAN NOT STAND are "COULD" and "MAY". Nothing personal against all the reporters out there trying to make a living and suck a few words out of a schmoe like Matt Walsh only to fuel another hideous story about the world's greatest professional sports franchise, but shut your collective mouths UNTIL NEWS IS ACTUALLY NEWS. Not when it COULD be news, or MAY be news. Give us the actual story!! Reporting anymore is absolutely brutal.

I think people are over reacting with concern, somehow King gathered info on this, this thaw in the air dosen't warrant his report. Also, the key part already brought up, he thinks the Pats are in the clear. Here's to hoping his information is better then fatso at the Herald !! I bet Tomass is a little upset that King stole his spotlight !

actually not so great of a point when you consider any draft penalizations come in the following NFL year. Once the new NFL year was started we were no longer at risk of losing seven.

More BS I think all know it is close to the draft and what better time to bring it all up...AS predicted..just like the sun coming up in the morning...I have less respect for him at each added BS story he prints about this...

Except what you are saying is incorrect. The 49ers were fined on March 24th for tampering and lost their fifth round pick and swapped 3rd round picks with the Bears in this upcoming draft eventhough the new NFL Year started.
As far as I know, the commissioner can strip any team of a pick(s) up to the momement they go on the clock.
Re: PFT/Peter King: Walsh deal could come as soon as today (4/22)
They can take every pick away from us they want this year except for number 7 overall and the third round pick from the raiders. The league cannot strip a team of a draft pick acquired through a trade. This is why they didn't take the SF pick in the first place.
I will believe it when I see it. There have been too many false alarms. There's been an immediate Walsh break announced two or three times before this. Also, Peter King did not say that it would come out today. Mike Florio added in that he is hearing it could possibly maybe might come out today.
Question: How can the NFL and the Patriots grant Walsh immunity? I know that he has asked specifically for immunity against any illegal things he might have done...but then these actions wouldn't solely be subject to civil court am I correct? If they were criminal actions, wouldn't the government have to agree to terms of immunity?
I think you really have to look at Walsh's series of demands that were asked and met to get the picture.
1. Wants an attorney and legal fees paid for - He's been set up by some mysterious figure (cough Arlen gough).
THEN
2. Says he is bound by a confidentiality agreement and wants to be released from it - Turns out said agreement doesn't exist
THEN
3. Demands immunity from prosecution for any illegal action he may divulge during his meetings with the league's officials
He's stalling. He's stalling because he thought he could get something out of the NFL and the Pats to go away, and they called his bluff. He won't be talking, and if he actually does, it will be nothing new.
