Vote: "Is Spygate over?"

Not 100% yes, but the voting on this and the other questions was better than I expected (not crapping badly on the Patriots).

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

We're talking about what Goodell actually said, not what I think he believes.

Also, I don't necessarily disbelieve the coaching thing. Why else would Walsh keep the tapes for 7 years, and then even when Spygate broke, the media had to come to him, not the other way around. This isn't really relevant to anything, but still.

Well, from what I saw/heard, Goodell made it pretty clear. If you think I misheard/misinterpreted, please feel free to pull the quote and review the video.

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

Schlereth's reasoning is incredible! He said that because Matt Walsh may have knowingly acted against the rules that NOW THAT'S THE BASIS TO DISBELIEVE ANYTHING HE SAYS because Walsh is that type of person, therefore, of course, you can't believe it when Walsh says the tapes were not used during the game!!!

Say what?! This is sureal.

Boy, 'roids must really turn your brain to mush!

whole idea of ESPN is to take a controversial approach so more people watch and respond and write to them and they get more popular, +ve or -ve. They arent journalists, just hacks in a corporate setting. So all this schelerth and carter stuff must have been rehearsed before to make this 2-3 hrs interesting otherwise what will the talk about ?

You would show a future employer tapes of a cheerleaders' butt, fuzzy jerky bad camerawork, in an attempt to become a football coach?

That's laughable.

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

The only thing that concerned me, and it was very very slightly concerning, is that according to Goodell, Walsh admitted the Pats did try to hide their camermen to a small degree.

But this is offset by Herm waiving at the camera, the camerman wearing Patriots apparel, and the obvious knowledge from other coaches that this was going on. If other coaches felt that this was a big deal, why didn't this come out earlier?

That doesn't bug me at all. If the Patriots wanted to be secretive, they shouldn't have stood on the sideline with a giant camera wearing Patriots apparel.

It should be obvious to everyone that the PATRIOTS were not trying to be secretive.

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

Felger just said that the Patriots had evidence of other teams doing it. And nobody says boo. Why?

What is Felger's support for making this statement? Where is he getting this?

I don't know, but it seems like there should have at least been a follow-up question. Nope. Nothing. Why was I surprised?

He made it up. Just like the rest of those great writers at the Herald.

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Schlereth win two Superbowl rings on a team that cheated on the salary cap?

Glad to see this finally might come to a end at least with the NFL, because i could careless what the talking heads have to say on ESPN!

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

This is false. The rule didn't change in 2006. A memo was sent out to emphasize to teams to stop taping from the sidelines and reminding them that there were only specific places that teams could tape from.

According to an email reply I got from Mike Reiss during the SB, the RULE has been in there for ages. Its not new.

What Mike's reply told me, indirectly, was that it was similar to the chuck rule. That the rule about taping from the sidelines has been there for a long time, but its just not been enforced. Just like with the chuck rule where the Officials were lax in calling it.

I read this in Mike's column as well but it was clear to me that Mike misread the rule. The very rule he was quoting forbade taping of the signals from the sidelines. That's why the memo was issued in 2006, to update that and extend the rule so that it couldn't be done from everywhere. Reiss quoted the correct rule, and he even listed it verbatim in his article, but he had a brainfart when he read it.

I'm not sure I'm interested in Walsh meeting that guy.

Sirius NFL Radio is saying that Specter is using his 15 minutes to promote his book coming out (now that he's a known figure) and aside from the Comcast stuff, he's running in Pennsylvania. And which team is located in PA, again?

He's going to continue to try and smear the Pats for his own gains. I'm not looking forward to it at all. Hopefully it just kinda dies after he stops flailing his arms.

Goodell says nothing new from Matt Walsh!!!!

Re: ** Updated: Walsh now meeting with Goodell

Goodell tried to protect the Jets from their involvement with

Spygate. At first he made it appear that NFL Security went

after the tape on their own. Then, he admitted the Jets called

the NFL's attention to the taping.

Re: Goodell says nothing new from Matt Walsh!!!!

Senator Sphincter can whine all he chooses. The commish has spoken. Hopefully this is the end of this "spygate" garbage once and for all. It's time to get ready for a new season.
