What good would a tape of the Super Bowl walk-thru do for the Patriots? Any idea what happens at a Super Bowl walk-thru? Ask someone who's seen one - you find out how many kids a player has and what his wife/girlfriend looks like and lots of photo taking by the players. So say they saw Marshall Faulk on the punt return team - don't you think they'd also see that in the pre-game warm-ups. Felger's shtick is that he offers original, contrarian ideas - no matter how far-fetched they are. 90% of his ideas are in outer space. He doesn't talk sports, he talks about Felger. And he calls Belichick an idiot. Brian,

Felger’s shtick is that he offers original, contrarian ideas - no matter how far-fetched they are. 90% of his ideas are in outer space. He doesn’t talk sports, he talks about Felger. And he calls Belichick an idiot.

Just getting that clear. Check.

It should be pointed out that while Martz's statement indicates he wants the story to go away, he does point out that at no time did he or anyone on his staff/security see people in Pats gear on his sideline as Walsh claimed they were, so don't act like there aren't holes everywhere in these stories.

There was no power, they know what equipment the Patriots had there and they have figured it out. It didn't happen. Jesus.

But remember that Walsh's indemnification agreement with the NFL required him to tell Goodell the truth about it, or else he'd face the consequences. That's why it took so long to get that agreement negotiated in the first place. The Pats were never going to give the guy a blanket immunity to lie about something like that. I really have a hard time believing that any tape ever existed. But I'm with you....I'm tired of the entire thing. It's gone on far too long. It could have been done and destroyed, sure.

All Felger has said from day one is that if you spend time around the team, the rumor has been making the rounds for years that he taped the walkthrough. Whether it's true or not nobody knows, but it's not out of the question to assume that maybe it was taped and it was destroyed is all I'm saying. So tired of talking/hearing about this.

There is, never has been, and probably never will be any evidence that this tape was made. At some point, people have to let this idea go and dismiss it as the falsehood that it was/is.

Somehow, he was trying to say that the dog ate Walsh's tape of the Ram's runthrough. Pathetic.
