The ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee wants N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell to explain why the league destroyed evidence related to spying by the New England Patriots.

New England Coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 by the N.F.L. after the Patriots were caught stealing defensive signals.
In the stretch of 12 days, from Sept. 9 to Sept. 20, the Patriots were caught filming the Jets’ defensive signals in violation of N.F.L. rules, ordered to hand over all tapes of illegal filming to the league office, fined $750,000 and made to forfeit a first-round draft pick.

Maybe there is more to the story than reported..

Then there is Matt Walsh whom is very afraid to speak... won't talk unless someone guarantees that they pick up his legal defense costs... Ummmm...

I think because it will get to the bigger issue that all teams are/were doing it for years.

I just posted something in the other thread, but Howie Long and Jimmie Johnson made some comments that all teams do it, plus other things as well to get an edge.

Here is an article that kindof describes what Long said on the radio.


He was also on either Sportcenter or NFL Live or something like that talking about it as well and told they guy to interview Jimmie as well.

I don't think we Senators getting involved with a football decision, or baseball for that matter. But I have wonder why everything was destroyed, and no information about what was on it was ever released.
I almost understand the destroying the tapes, because if everyone saw them those teams that had been on the tapes would be at a dissadvantage. But Goodel should have told everyone what was on the tapes, how far they go back, how many there were, etc etc.
It would be great if somebody with knowledge did talk, but I doubt anyone will any time soon. Although I wouldn't be suprised if ESPN or sports illustrated offered x amount of dollars to anyone with knowledge to talk.

If Goodale is covering up for multiple teams, then this is a conspiracy.

Oh I agree.. I don't think the Pats were the only one, but yes Schultz, minus the tin hat , I do think that it was buried for a reason. Not that I agree with the a Senate hearing or investigation.. but it is apparent that the NFL wasn't going to address it themselves.

The NFL is given huge tax relief and other bene's, the least they could do is explain what was found, how deep it went and what impact it had on the game.

Otherwise, IMO, it hurts the integrity of the overall game..

Here is a little humor amount it though.
