Philly McButterpants Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 any updates would be appreciated. Just tuned it in, but it doesn't sound like he's going to let this go away quietly . . .
Fewell733 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I caught it, though not on ESPN. Not happy especially with how Goodell handled the investigation - says the league has a clear conflict of interest on the issue and thinks an impartial investigation should be done. Felt like Goodell was bootstrapping the punishment without first analyzing the data (like looking at what was actually done and investigating its effects on outcomes). Walsh also indicated that at least one offensive player, unnamed, was aware of the taping and involved in catching the signs from the defensive coaches to relay them to Brady. Which, imo, is a pretty big deal.

Which, imo, is a pretty big deal. I thought so too. I am suprised this hasn't been a bigger issue yet. This means they used the information from the tapes in games. They even practiced it in the pre-season games.
