I try not to comment too much outside of the Cowboys sphere, but I have to say that this Matt Walsh character has really been great for the Patriots organization.   First, he pops up with talk about some mysterious tapes and gets everyone in a frenzy about possible new sanctions against New England.  Then, the tapes are revealed to be pretty much what the Patriots said they had done.  Now, everyone thinks Spygate is done.

Well, maybe not everyone, but there does seem to be a major sentiment that the investigation is pretty much over barring any other revelations that come from left field.   Matt Walsh has all but put to rest any idea that New England taped the Rams walkthrough.

Now, let me say that while I thought the Patriots got off too light in punishment, I also think people have overreacted to the situation.  Spying has always been a part of football.   That’s why coaches are quick to kick out any suspicious characters spotted during practice.

But I have to say that this turn of events has been awfully good for New England.   I know that if I wanted to figure out something that would get everyone off the Patriots back about the possibility that they did more than what they admitted, I couldn’t have planned it any better.

No, I’m not going on some crazy conspiracy theory or anything.   I’m just making an observation.
