This is going to ramble a bit...
- In a way, Faulk's annual whining is sad. Here's a guy who was a Heisman runner-up, #2 overall draft pick, pro bowler, league MVP, SB champion, and Hall of Famer and he spends more time talking about a SB that he lost than the one he won. Losing sucks and losing a championship game you were favored in stings even more, but not every great player gets to win multiple SBs. I'm sure Dan Marino would have loved to have a .500 record in the Super Bowl. Dan Fouts and Adrian Peterson would loved to just reach one. Faulk had a tremendous career, but he sounds like a message board poster when he keeps harping on something that, even if he doesn't accept this, didn't happen.
- Looking at the articles in the OP, Faulk mentions not being able to see the tapes. In the comments, there are multiple people saying we didn't get to see the evidence.
- We did get to see the tapes! Jay Glaser's tape was played on TV. Goodell screened Matt Walsh's tapes for the media during his press conference in May of 2008. Just because they are not available for viewing on the NFL's website doesn't mean the public never had a chance to see them. If someone is going to say, "Well, how do you know they're showing us everything?", that person is so convinced of their opinion that no amount of evidence will satisfy them.
- Since when do we, as fans, get to see evidence? Did we see the evidence of the 49ers tampering with Lance Briggs? Did we see Ray Farmer's texts? The Broncos tape of the 49ers walkthrough? Hear the audio recordings of the Falcons pumped in crowd noise? Do we get to read the lab reports for a player's positive drug tests? The NFL is a private corporation. If they don't want to share specific information, they're not under an obligation to. And just because we don't get to see these things doesn't mean the NFL is protecting some secret.
- There was no walkthrough tape. That story is completely false. I have no idea why no interviewer ever mentions that fact to Faulk.
- We know that ESPN and the NFL will highlight some stories and ignore others, depending on what agenda they want to push. I remember there was some leaked ESPN memo a few years ago instructing them not to discuss a story involving Favre or Roethlisberger. So why can't the NFL, as part of their constant effort to protect the integrity of the game, tell one of their employees to stop accusing one their SB champions of cheating? Tell Faulk that, in his private life, he can say whatever he wants. When he's appearing on NFLN or being interviewed by one of their broadcast partners, drop the accusations.
