NFL Take on Walsh

From the NFL press release:

“The NFL released the tapes Walsh provided, and they didn't show any previously undisclosed rule violations. The clips cut between shots of opposing coaches sending in signals and the play that followed.

"The fundamental information that Matt provided was consistent with what we disciplined the Patriots for last fall," Goodell said at a news conference.”

Really? The league knew the Patriots had taped games as far back as 2000, as Walsh’s tapes prove? The league knew the Patriots taped the Steelers in the 2002 AFC Championship?

The NY Times is reporting that Walsh would hand the tapes over to Belichick confidant Ernie Adams. Says Closeau, "I don't know where else I would turn."

Here's a thought! Maybe the league could rouse itself and bother to interview Mr. Adams, still an employee with the Patriots, about what he did with the tapes he received from Matt Walsh. But given Inspector Closeau’s performance in this entire “investigation,” it’s probably doubtful if such a promising lead were pursued.
