Agreement Made With Walsh
Thursday April 24, 2008
With multiple teams agreeing to trades, and this year's No. 1 draft pick agreeing to the terms of a contract recently, it seems like agreeing is just in the air these days. So it makes sense that the NFL would come to an agreement with Matt Walsh so that we can finally find out what, if anything, he knows or has evidence of in regards to the Spygate scandal involving the New England Patriots.
Commissioner Roger Goodell is scheduled to meet with Walsh in the league office on May 13 at which time Walsh is to spill the beans as well as turn over any physical evidence he might have. The league and the Patriots have promised not to sue him, and he will be indemnified for any expenses he incurs in connection with the interview.
Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com got his hands on a copy of the agreement and has posted it here.
Hopefully this interview is the beginning of the end of the Spygate scandal in one way or another.

In reading this it sounds like they are expecting some pretty telling videos. I dont like Walshes lawywers not being able to take their copies to the media without permission and the clause saying Walsh wont sue for the personal attacks damaging his reputation make yah wonder if this was a Clintonesque pre-attack by the patriots to discredit him in advance.
If they really want to clear this up as far as public perception, they would release all tapes to the public immediatly otherwise doubt will remain and the integrity will be tarnished.
