Did Pats film SB XXXVI walkthrough?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell found no evidence that the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough practice before Super Bowl XXXVI was filmed by the Patriots, as the Boston Herald reported Feb. 2, citing an anonymous source. In today's editions, the Herald acknowledged its error and issued a front-page apology for running the story without adequate verification. The apology, a three-paragraph story in the Sports section teased with huge headlines on the front and back pages, said: On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots' video staff taped the St. Louis Rams' walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald based its Feb. 2, 2008 report on sources that it believed to be credible, we now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed. Prior to the publication of its Feb. 2, 2008, article, the Boston Herald neither possessed nor viewed a tape of the Rams' walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI, nor did we speak to anyone who had. We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification. The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by the publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots' owners, players, employees, and fans for our error.

Did Pats film SB XXXVI walkthrough?

When former Patriots employee Matt Walsh meets with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this morning in New York, one topic figures to trump all: Walsh's recollections from Feb. 2, 2002. The St. Louis Rams' walkthrough practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI was held that day inside the Louisiana Superdome, a session that, according to an anonymous source of the Boston Herald's, was filmed by a member of the Patriots video department. The Patriots denied the report the day it was published, Feb. 2, 2008. If Goodell determines the Patriots did film the practice, he has said, he would revisit the issue and could impose more penalties against the club. He could have his answer this morning. Walsh's lawyer, Michael Levy, told the New York Times last week that Walsh never claimed to have a tape of the Rams' walkthrough, and was not the source for the article. But that doesn't mean Walsh can't provide more background from that day in New Orleans, and answer the key question - whether there was any filming by a member of the video department.

Arlen Specter wants to hold congressional hearings on Spygate. This investigation is not over, as much as the Pats and their crybaby fans want it to be. The Commish wants to sweep this all under the rug, but it is not going away. The Pats cheated and we all know it.
