It is out.
A complete scandal.
The new information is worse than before.
The punishment? A few giggles, maybe a whoo hoo.
Matt Walsh met with the commissioner and this is what they found.
The most scandalous part of the tapes shown before Goodell’s news conference had nothing to do with stealing signals — it was several minutes of close-ups of San Diego Chargers cheerleaders performing during a 2002 game.

Oh yeah, now you wish you had the tapes, don’t you.
Now we know what inspired the Patriots.
Something just does not smell right here. Why the big build up about Matt Walsh?
Walsh worked for New England from 1997 to 2003. His name surfaced just before this year’s Super Bowl, nearly five months after the Patriots were sanctioned.
After more than two months of negotiations, lawyers for the league and Walsh finally agreed April 23 to terms that would allow him to talk with Goodell. They include an agreement by the Patriots not to sue Walsh and to pay his legal expenses and his airfare to New York from Hawaii, where he is now a golf pro.

Just what did they find if there was no spying, besides on the cheerleaders?
“There was no bugging of locker rooms,” Goodell said. “There was no manipulation of communication systems. There was no crowd noise violations anywhere that he was aware of. No miking of players to pick up opposing signals or audibles.”
Walsh did share two potential violations of league rules unrelated to Spygate, Goodell said. A player on injured reserve practiced when he wasn’t allowed to in 2001. Walsh also scalped eight to 12 Super Bowl tickets for Patriots players over two seasons. The NFL will investigate both claims.

Maybe the only small part of justice in this case is that the Patriots did not beat the New York Giants in this year’s Super Bowl.
