Ladies and gentleman, let's all hope there's a big cell reserved somewhere in federal prison for fat boy. It seems to me the Patriots have known all along that Walsh was not the source, and the most valuable information they could attain was that he was not the source. No wonder they would pay his lawyer, fly him to New York, and give him immunity. What they really want is the Herald, and fat boy.

"One night before the Patriots [team stats] face the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, new allegations have emerged about a Patriots employee taping the Rams’ final walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI. According to the source..." - Tomase

I just talked to one of my Patriots sources who said several members of the organization were furious with the timing of the report in the Boston Herald indicating a club representative filmed the Rams' final walkthrough before the 2001 Super Bowl.

But if that's all Walsh has, I'll tell you who's in trouble -- the Boston Herald. I'd be surprised if New England owner Bob Kraft doesn't sue the pants off the paper, which reported the Patriots videotaped the Rams' walk through the day before Super Bowl XXXVI, for damaging his brand if the story is not true. - Peter King

League spokesman Greg Aiello provided details yesterday of the league’s inquiry into the matter in the days following this year’s Super Bowl. “The bottom line is, there is no evidence whatsoever that this walk through tape exists, to this point,” Aiello said. “We were following up on the rumors that circulated Super Bowl weekend, including the idea specifically that there was this Rams walkthrough tape, to see if there was any evidence whatsoever, and nothing was produced.” Aiello confirmed the league’s investigation revealed there was no power supply to the cameras on the afternoon of the Rams’ walkthrough and that the Patriots had left their battery packs at home, making their cameras inoperable from the sidelines.

The Herald cited an anonymous source saying that there was a tape of the Rams' Super Bowl walkthrough but, at the league meetings last month, Patriots owner Robert Kraft denied "the damaging allegation" that such evidence existed.

Tomase, like other writers, had been chasing former Pats employee Matt Walsh ever since a review of the relatively small list of former Pats video employees after Spygate I revealed that Matt Walsh was a person who might have useful information.
It was generally believed among the folks chasing Walsh that Walsh would say that he videotaped the Rams’ final walk-through practice. The only problem is that Walsh wouldn’t actually say it into a tape recorder or other equivalent sound preservation device. Our guess is that Tomase and/or the Herald were reluctant to run with Walsh’s claims absent Walsh going on the record. That stance apparently changed on February 1, when Walsh finally decided to talk on the record, vaguely and incompletely, about his role in practices that might constitute cheating.
Things will only get worse for the Herald and Tomase if Walsh’s May 13 meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell doesn’t result in corroboration of the controversial February 2 report.

"Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walkthrough," Levy told The New York Times. "Mr. Walsh has never been the source of any of the media speculation about such a tape. Mr. Walsh was not the source for the Feb. 2 Boston Herald article."
