Roger Goodell: Case closed
Walsh tells Goodell he didn’t tape walkthrough
By John Tomase
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 - Updated 5h ago
NEW YORK - Matt Walsh finally had his day in front of the NFL, and as far as commissioner Roger Goodell is concerned, this chapter of the Patriots [team stats] videotaping saga is closed.
Walsh, a former Patriots video assistant who last week turned over eight tapes showing the team recording opposing offensive and defensive signals, met for more than three hours with Goodell yesterday. In the commissioner’s view, he offered no new information worth reopening the league’s investigation into the Patriots’ videotaping practices.
Goodell said Walsh told him there was no tape of the Rams walkthrough prior to Super Bowl XXXVI. He said Walsh was unaware of any other violations of league policy, including the bugging of locker rooms, manipulation of communications equipment, or miking of players to pick up opposing signals.
“He was able to confirm that the Patriots had followed NFL policy as far as he knew,” Goodell said.
“We were able to verify there was no Rams walkthrough tape,” Goodell said. “No one asked him to tape the walkthrough. He’s not aware of anyone else who may have taped it. He had not seen such a tape. He does not know of anybody who says there is such a tape. He was in the building along with other video personnel. He was doing his job prior to the game. He was even on the sidelines in Patriots gear while the Rams were practicing. It clearly was not covert access.”

| | | Oh really? Could it be that the reason there isn't more going on in this investigation is because the Patriots ::gasp:: are considered to be good for the league monetarily?

Live 15 minutes from Boston, i dislike basically all of the teams in New England, kind of boils over when you get sick of hearing about the Red Sox and Patriots. The fans are kind of annoying - i know that most fans are like this everywhere - but last year i didnt see anything Celtics. Now of course everyone loves the Celtics.  |
