    no big deal the nfl has already issued an email statement last night. this thing has pretty much been officially put to bed
    The Associated Press reports the story, with league spokesman Greg Aiello saying: "This is consistent with what the Patriots had admitted they had been doing, consistent with what we already knew."

    they were never accused of radio frequency stealing, because the nfl monitors that for both teams

    FTA:The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game.

    O, they were accused....

    Consistent with what they already know, they should still dock the Patriots another first round pick. Just for the hell of it.

    Yessir. I had hope a while back that there would be something real going on instead of a protracted cover-up, but when there's that much money involved, things tend to go away. The NFL will never allow the integrity of their vaunted Super Bowl to be questioned.

    If they don't publish all the tapes than this whole affair was simply so the league could get control of Walsh's tapes which the league new were a duplicate of the tapes they destroyed. This was nothing more than wet work.

    Walsh's lawyers are being granted a copy of all the tapes turned in. So I guess the lawyers are going to cash in, too.

    Wonder if the Steelers still think this is a non-issue in light of the tape that exists.

    Not really, more like Walsh's lawyer has an insurance policy on Walsh's life. They can't sell or publish the tapes without the leagues permission. Effectively the NFL finished the cleanup from burning the first set of tapes except Walsh has an insurance policy on his life.

    The league should put this tapes out to ESPN if they want to end the speculation. It appears they simply wanted to protect the leagues integrity at all costs and set up the Walsh indemnification to get control of all the tapes. I suspect the Pats did know about the Rams tape but it wasn't Walsh who had it, the Pats probably did and destroyed it. It was a good set up to force Walsh to indemnify by putting out the rumor that he had it knowing full well they had it. The Pats may have leaked the Rams tape as a fake story to force Walsh's hand?

    I think Spector was in support more for the Eagles than the Steelers. I heard his interview with Dan Patrick a while back when he first got involved and he mentioned the Eagles' Super Bowl game about 5 times.

    Yeah I agree with you, but this move precludes the NFL from destroying any of this evidence.

    Why the hell did this take so long for nothing new? What a joke.

    As much as I hate BB, it's time to put this whole thing to rest.

    He cheated for 8 years, won multiple SB's and all he gets is a docking of a late #1 and what amounts to a parking ticket? Sign me up for that any day. Also, before 2000 I think he had a losing record as a HC and since then is 50 something games over .500.
