Roger Goodell received hush money from Robert Kraft.  Roger Goodell convicted the Patriots of illegally videotaping the Jets, and fined them minimally.  He then destroyed all related evidence because…..?  Nobody knows why.

Now, new evidence supports that Billy Belicheat taped the Rams walkthrough before the 02′ Super Bowl, and Kurt Warner is pissed. 

The head camera operator, Matt Walsh, who did video work for the Patriots during that time, was not interviewed as part of the investigation.  Why not?  Even Matt wondered why, until now.  He just got the call from the investigators.

Half-ass investigation?  Burning evidence prematurely?  Multiple accounts and accusations from different organizations. 

____________________________

Many coaches as well as Goodell have determined that Belicheat’s video taping didn’t help the Pats at all and that they dominated the season by being “hard working and loaded with talent”.  Maybe this is true, maybe it isn’t.  It is impossible to know.

 But nonetheless, does somebody who “attempts” to cheat (breaking NFL rule 105), deserve any respect.  Even if the video gave them zero information and the result of the attempt failed, it doesn’t make the efforts to cheat ok. 

Example in point:  I tried to rob a bank yesterday, but the bank didn’t have any money in the vault.  Oh well, the robbery was harmless.   Goodouche done effed up.
