Usually, when you’re talking about evidence supporting a videotape claim, said evidence is—wait for it—the videotape itself. Not eight other videotapes of signals involving other teams and other games. Somehow Walsh, who turned over those irrelevant-the-Rams-issue tapes, must subscribe to the logic “If X=Y and Z=Y, then A=B because, well, because I said so.”

Or something like that.

Michael Levy, Walsh’s lawyer, added yet another “WTF?” to the mix by stating (per ESPN) that

“Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walk-through . . . Mr. Walsh has never been the source of any of the media speculation about such a tape. Mr. Walsh was not the source for the Feb. 2 Boston Herald article.”

So let’s get this straight: Walsh (and two others) videotaped for the Patriots during the timeframe in question. Walsh gave up tapes. But he didn’t turn over evidence of the high-profile allegation linking his name to the Rams case. (Google ”Matt Walsh” and “St. Louis Rams.” We garnered 44,200 hits. Now go re-read Levy’s comments).

This makes less sense than the fact that Paris Hilton pulled down $150K for partying at a London nightclub.

Oh, and given that the eight tapes are consistent with what the Pats already ‘fessed up to, there’s no news here. Somebody–Walsh, his lawyer, the Boston Herald, the Patriots, the NFL–has some ’splainin’ to do about this mess.

What’s more idiotic: Matt Walsh not providing a Pats-Rams Super Bowl tape or the realization that someone paid Paris Hilton $150K to show up at a London nightclub?

Lawyer for Ex-Pats Videotaper Matt Walsh: He Never Claimed to Have a Rams Tape

The backstabbing ingrate with an ax to grind former assistant to the New England Patriots will have a sit-down with NFL Commissioner and likely-can’t-wait-till-his-tenure-is-over Roger Goodell on May 13.

Matt Walsh, on the Pats’ staff from 199-2003, was once upon a time the “unnamed source” who busted open the story about the Patriots taping the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. Walsh claims to have evidence about the ho-hum-scandal-that-isn’t-really-a-scandal.(Oh, except that it involves Bill Belichick and the Patriots. Notice that the rumblings about the Denver Broncos taping the San Diego Chargers was swept under the run in a hurry—by everyone).

Get ready for the dirty laundry.
