Press conference follow-up
NEW YORK -- One follow-up from the conclusion of Roger Goodell's 28-minute press conference today:
After the press conference concluded, a league spokesman gathered the assembled media members with NFL outside counsel Gregg Levy.
Levy then said the following:
"[Matt] Walsh was asked during the interview today whether after the [Rams] walkthrough, anyone asked him about what he had seen. He said 'yes'. He saw Brian Daboll, who I understand is an assistant coach for the Patriots -- or was at the time -- and Daboll asked him what he saw. Walsh said two things -- one, he had seen Marshall Faulk in a formation to receive a kickoff or a punt, and he had been asked about offensive formations, particularly about the use of the tight end. My understanding is that is not consistent with what we had learned prior to the interview, during the course of the investigation. At this point, it's uncorroborated, but it's something the league is going to look into."
Levy was asked if that could lead the league to levy more penalties against the Patriots. A senior league spokesman stepped in and said the answer was no, as Roger Goodell had stated.
Levy explained that he felt the information was important to disclose.
"As I was walking the commissioner to the car, he said 'nobody asked me about that and it would be worthwhile to make sure people have that tidbit,'" Levy said.
Daboll is now an assistant coach with the New York Jets.
typical coverup. cheaters
Means Nothing, You can not be certain that Mr Walsh , who has allready been shown as a person who has lied & misinformed many things. Mr Walsh was a lower level employee that had little or no actual communication with coaches, why would a coach go looking for him for that type of info. And Marshall Faulk never lined up as a Kick returner!
Talk about anticlimactic, what a waste of time over the last 3 months, although it was general consensus that Walsh had nothing, otherwise it wouldn't have taken this long.
My big issue is why isn't there an uproar against Walsh that he stole team property? The guy is not only the biggest rat in sports history, but basically he is a thief! Kapalua Plantation Golf Course should fire him, would you want an employee known for ratting out and stealing from former employers?
what a snake this guy Walsh is .... he meets with the Commissioner.... let's the Commissioner hold his press conference, leaves the room claiming he needs to meet with Specter, then leaks a new story on the theory that he was not asked about whether he had seem something that he had not videotaped at all.
Oh well, maybe they will fine the guy from the Jets. That would be ironic, wouldn't it. Heck, why not fine Mangini too since he might have been a defensive coordinator at some point during all this. I'd get a good laugh out of that.
