Spygate Update; Andrew Bogut Had a Point, After All; LA Gets Pau

“Spygate” update:

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Matt Walsh was a video assistant from1996-2003. Walsh says he has tapes that could be damaging to the New England. Again, Walsh signed a confidentiality agreement with the Patriots, then apparently took tapes from the New England Patriots facilities and kept them until now.

Now, Walsh wants protection for Congress to turn over the tapes tell what he knows about the tapes and, more than likel, the processes involved in videotaping.

As far as Arlen Specter is concerned, he says he has had thoughts about the NFL’s antitrust exemption for some time

“Their antitrust exemption has been on my mind for a long time.

Destruction of Patriots Tapes Set for Congress: Goodell to Testify

Arlen Spector, Republican senator from Pennsylvania and ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has called Roger Goodell in front of the committee to address the destruction of the tapes that revealed spying by the New England Patriots:

“That requires an explanation,” Specter said. “The N.F.L. has a very preferred status in our country with their antitrust exemption. The American people are entitled to be sure about the integrity of the game. It’s analogous to the C.I.A. destruction of tapes. Or any time you have records destroyed.”…

Joe Browne, the N.F.L.’s executive vice president for internal affairs, said, “The irony is that we have been in contact with the senator’s office several times in recent weeks.” He added that “the issue of these letters was not discussed.”
