Re: CHEATERS NEVER PROSPER
Goodell is now offering former Pats video employee Matt Walsh legal protection for any info that he might provide on this issue.

Beat me to it, MD, Goodell doesn't determine who gets legal protection. I suppose he could offer to provide attorney fees but that is it.Originally posted by MDFANComment

Well it's not a criminal case. He's just saying they'll pay whatever legal fees and penalties associated with breach of contract for disclosing information.Comment

NFL WILLING TO INDEMNIFY WALSH
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday that the league would give indemnification to former Patriots employee Matt Walsh in order to enable him to tell Goodell what he knows about the Patriots' alleged spying practices.
Indemnification is a convoluted lawyer word meaning, in this case, that the league would cover Walsh financially for any expenses he might incur if the Patriots were to sue him for talking to the league.
It'll be interesting to know whether the league's commitment to indemnify Walsh extends to, say, an interview that he might eventually give to 60 Minutes. Because if Walsh talks only to the league and no one else, the chances of anyone else knowing what he said are roughly equivalent to the chances of scoring tickets to a screening of the tapes that were destroyed in September.
Meanwhile, some league observers are curious as to why the Patriots won't simply grant a partial release to Walsh of the confidentiality agreementh, allowing him to talk about anything that he might know regarding any filming of practices or other cloak-and-dagger stuff that might have been going on. Other league observers wonder why a confidentiality agreement is even necessary for a video operator.
Still, it would be awkward (to say the least) for the Pats to essentially sue the league if/when Walsh talks.
Meanwhile, several readers tell us that Michael Holley of WEEI in Boston claims that there is no truth to the Boston Herald report that someone from the Patriots' organization videotaped the Rams' final walk-through practice before Super Bowl XXXVI. Holley cites multiple sources for his report; if, however, the sources are Bill Belichick and/or Ernie Adams (more on him later tonight), would we expect them to say anything other than "it's not true"?
Also, a league source tells us that it "absolutely" would be useful to have access to a team's walk-through practice. At a bare minimum, the information tells the opponent the play that will be run out of a specific formation. Thus, when the team uses that same formation in the game, it's a strong clue as to the play that is coming."Philly fans are great....It's the only place where you pull up on the bus and you've got the grandfather, the grandmother, the kids and the grandkids - everybody flicking you off.
