Good point, LBS; it’s weird that the hometown team was sabotaged BY THE HOMETOWN PAPER! At least when the Paul Byrd allegations came out for the Indians (which I still believe hurt their chances of closing out the Sox series), the rumor did not originate from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Their ’source’ better come through for them or else they should expose him.

What annoys me is the ‘nothing to see here’ attitude in the media with Walsh’s tapes. They are saying: we knew all about this already……NO WE DIDN’T! At no time did Goodell or Belichick come out last fall and say that the cheating went back that far and included the postseason/super bowls. It’s like: well if it doesn’t include the super bowl, then all is peachy. So you are telling me they cheated in every game all the way up to the AFC title game but -didn’t- in the super bowl? Yea ok and Rog Clemens didn’t take HGH.

I think Belichick went to Goodell and only told him what he thought he could get away with. Goodell last fall was asked many times in interviews about whether the Pats cheated in the postseason/SB and he NEVER said they did, he would say the evidence doesn’t show it. Either Goodell is lying or Belichick lied to him. I point to an excerpt from an AP article about what we knew when the Walsh story broke:

AP:During Super Bowl week, however, there were reports of possible earlier videotaping by the Patriots, including the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl. Belichick vehemently denied the existence of any such tapes.

Stories like that show that even just 3 months ago we had no idea that the taping went back 8+years. So don’t tell me that there’s nothing to see here.
