PFT: Commish to meet with Walsh...Belichick to be suspended if allegations true

[WoodysGirl]

COMMISH MEETING WITH WALSH SOON?

Posted by Mike Florio on February 3, 2008, 11:49 a.m.

On Super Bowl morning, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said on ESPN Radio that the league will “absolutely” investigate the “Spygate II” allegations, and that Goodell will “absolutely” meet with former Pats video employee Matt Walsh.

As Chris Mortensen of ESPN points out, Goodell will be heading to Hawaii soon for the Pro Bowl. And Walsh lives in Hawaii.

The media covering the Pro Bowl also will be on its way to Hawaii as well, and we have a feeling that Walsh will be feeling a little bit like Britney Spears over the next few days.​

IF WALSH HAS VIDEO, BELICHICK DONE FOR A YEAR

Posted by Mike Florio on February 3, 2008, 1:09 p.m.

ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reports that, if it turns out that former Patriots employee Matt Walsh has in possession video of the Rams’ final walk-through practice from Super Bowl XXXVI, New England head coach Bill Belichick will be suspended.

For a year.

Wow.

If Walsh has a such a tape, and if Belichick knows or suspects that he does, it could have a profound affect on Belichick as he prepares for the final act in a possible 19-0 season. We’re not saying that it’ll affect his coaching in any way; it might actually make him more focused and determined. But the knowledge that this game could be his last one for 19 months, and possibly his final time on the sidelines with the Patriots ever, is likely something that not even the modern-day Bud Grant would be able to conceal.

Indeed, if Belichick knows that he’s toast, he might opt to retire before “Spygate II” hits the fan. And he’ll be carrying those thoughts somewhere in his brain throughout the day and night in Phoenix.

And given that the Patriots have issued a statement calling Saturday’s report from the Boston Herald “absolutely false,” evidence to the contrary might compel owner Bob Kraft to fire his head coach on the heels of a fourth Super Bowl win in seven seasons.

Though plenty of folks are questioning the timing of these new disclosures, the fact is that if there’s any truth to the report and that truth comes out, the guy who’ll pay the biggest price is Belichick.

Either way, this is something that needs to be investigated quickly, so that if there’s nothing to it the Pats and Belichick can have the cloud of suspicion removed.​

This, for the umpteen-hundredth time, confirms Goodell is a 'tard. Oh, you're just now meeting with someone that possibly has more evidence? How convenient. If Belichick ends up being suspended for a year, or something else does turn up and he retires, Goodell should be removed immediately.

I'll try and wait to pass judgement one way or the other, but I was always perplexed as to how fast this thing was swept aside, tapes thrown away and cleared up the way it did.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I have always said that the media would not let this rest.... and they shouldnt.

NOW.....

A Patriots Win = doubt about their SB wins if any of this is true

A Patriots Loss = without cheating they dont win.


I actually like the Pats and what they seem to have accomplished.... but if it comes out that they were cheating for years and in the playoffs and in the SB.... then there is doubt.

How many times have players said "its like they knew the play before we ran it"?

The Dallas Cowboys may just be the LAST SB dynasty in NFL history when all is said and done.

Count me in also! It's so stupid! If nothing was wrong why destroy evidence?

Hey, I got an idea? I did not rob the bank downtown, but I think I will go turn myself into the police anyway?

Goodell is a disgrace to the NFL. he needs to be fired by the owners. they made a big mistake by hiring this guy.

Didnt the evidence just get braught up this week. Im not going to be to quick to judge since this is all just starting to unfold. However if he does have the tape and BB is suspended I dont even know how I would react.

And if they do go 19 -0 and then all that happens. There is no way that season goes without an asterisk along with every BB championship.

Apparently you've got a former camera guy willing to spill the beans. It appears to me that any reasonable investigation done by the league would have turned the guy up. But there have been reports that the investigation was pretty much a sham investigation. It was basically just a situation where they were required to turn in the Jets tapes and those were destroyed with no further inquiry.

This is all of course just rumor.

 

[CowboyWay]

Does Belicheck get suspended before or after Goodell burns Walsh's tape?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

This is probably just so Goodell can claim, "We looked into it and he had nothing" before Walsh releases something to the media.

We all know Belichick isn't going to be suspended, no matter what evidence is out there.

 

[dmq]

This happened many years ago. Belichick won't get suspended. Chances are the tape disappears.

 

[theebs]

I heard Belichick killed nicole brown simpson, but they really dont want to prosecute.

He also robs banks, cheats on his taxes, Is involved in an insurance scam, throws games because of old mob debts from his time in ny and cleveland and of course is the reason for the poor housing market in america.

I think he should be forced to work in a call center in India effective immediately.

 

[Tyronosaurus77]

I thought that BB should have been suspended for a year regardless. With Wade Wilson gettin suspended for HGH for 5 games and such. I mean BB was fined 500,000 and stripped of their first pick. Thats just not right.

They said before that its common practice in the NFL, and I believe that. Im still concerned as to why he wasnt suspended originally.

And while were on Pats and suspension, Wilfork too.

No, he just sticks to cheating in the NFL.

With all that's being said about the prior tapes being destroyed, I SERIOULSY doubt that if this tape exists, it gets destroyed.

What do I know.....I'm watching bowling on TV.

wait till it comes out that Tom Brady is actually a robot. Part man, Part Robot. He is the result of many ultra liberal doctors in Boston and was created many years ago by Belichick and pioli.

He has infared eyes and can see 30 seconds into the future.

They are really going to flip when that comes out.

 

[tunahelper]

With Belicheat banned for a year I wonder if Moss would consider wearing the star?

It would be a lot of fun!

I THOUGHT I saw a bolt sticking out of his neck.

Here's the question. How is the Boston Globe and ESPN able to get ahold of the person(s) and the NFL is not?

Strip them of their other number 1 and remove some salary cap room. Suspend him for 4 games but not an entire year. Otherwise he simply retires and doesn't even get a slap on the wrist.
