Well today is the day that former Patriots video coordinator Matt Walsh wil meet with Warden Godell to discuss what was or was not on the tapes. Then Godell will release those tapes to the media, then go meet in Washington with pissed off Eagles fan, Sen. Arlen Spector, to put a finish on the entire Spygate cloud that has been over the NFL for the better part of the last calender year.
My question now has been my question since the Spygate story broke, "Who Cares?"
Honestly, this is only the first time someone taping signals has been caught doing so. As much as people want to think that the Patriots were the only team taping signals, need to remove their rose coloured glasses and see what advantage this can give a team. Then you're going to tell me that only the Patriots are the ones taping signals? Really?
The Pats and Bill Belichick were just the first ones to get caught, after his protege Eric Mangini went to the league and told the NFL what the Pats were doing. What is stopping Mangini from taping signals? Didn't he come from the Belichick school of coaching? Wouldn't he have learned from the master and put it into practice? Just asking some questions.
Next we have this so called smoking gun, that turned out to be shooting blanks. Former Pats employee Matt Walsh claimed to have video tape of the Rams walk-through before they faced the Patriots in Super Bowl 36. Then he gives Godell the tapes and it shows us exactly what we already know.
Thank you for wasting my time. Your big atom bomb that was supposed to blow up the Patriots dynasty turned out to be a dud that was well beyond its relevancy.
Then, finally we have the Eagles fan, Sen. Arlen Spector who was looking for any reason to say that something was fishy about the Patriots beating his beloved Eagles in Super Bowl 39. He is grasping at straws looking for a reason to try and get his first championship as an Eagles fan.
This is almost as rediculous as Congress being involved in whether or not baseball players took performance enhancing drugs or whether or not Roger Clemens "misremembered" his whereabouts at Jose Canseco's BBQ.
Spygate was a non-story from the beginning, the league disciplined the Patriots, and the story was closed. Since everyone loves to delight in others people misery, when somone has a little bit of success, they want to tear them down and say something was up and they achieved thier success while everyone played by the rules. Doubt that they were the only team taping signals.
Time for everyone to put Spygate in the rearview mirror and move on.
