Not saying that it's bad news for the Patriots. I'm saying that the Globe seems to have gotten a lot of cooperation from "unnamed league officials" for their story on Walsh. It just feels like pre-emptive damage control for the NFL.
It's not chicken little and its not tinfoil hat stuff. Name-calling isn't going to change anything if Walsh has the goods on the Patriots. Right now, I'm 50/50 on that possibility. Trust me, I hope he's got nothing...
i tend to be suspicous as well but maybe i'm just getting too cynical as i get older. I admire the enthusiasm and sense of righteous indignation displayed by many out here, including by those who have disagreed with me today. reminds me of myself 20 years ago. but now, though, i have a sinking feeling that we're getting set up to get well and royally f>@ked.
the bottom line for me is that this story is now reduced to a simple "ON/OFF" switch.
"Matt Walsh has a tape of the Walkthrough." Throw the "ON" switch and it's all over for the Patriots.
"Matt Walsh has nothing at all or, at worst, bootleg copies of a couple of tapes that BB has already admitted making." Throw the "OFF" switch and the story goes away forever in a couple of weeks after everyone has watched the tapes a million times on ESPN and Youtube.
