I’ve just had about enough of the New England Patriots and spygate. And, I suspect, that even the most hardened Patriots hater would probably agree — enough is enough.

Does Walsh ever want to work again?

I think anyone could have guessed that when Matt Walsh wasn’t “available” to meet with NFL commissioner Goodell until May 13th, that the former Patriot’s video assistant wouldn’t have anything new — No smoking gun, and no video footage of a Ram’s Superbowl XXXVI walk through. In short, Matt Walsh told the NFL nothing they didn’t already know. Walsh did, however, have a few more accusations against the Patriots, but those incidents had nothing to do with the video taping scandal. So what gives with this guy? Is he working on a book deal? Pitching a movie script to Hollywood? Does he want to get on Oprah for his 15 minutes of fame? Or does he simply never want to work anywhere ever again?

Give that man a bigger shovel

At the rate Walsh is going, no one in their right mind would ever hire this guy. With each new accusation he digs himself a deeper ditch, and regardless if he’s right or wrong he’ll ultimately earn himself the dubious title of “whistle blower” or “story teller.” Both labels are terrible if you want to stay gainfully employed. Therefore one can only conclude that if Walsh isn’t working on some side deal worth millions, he certainly isn’t playing with a full deck.

Specter holding on like a pit bull

And what of Senator Arlen Specter? He could have been satisfied with the NFL’s findings (which was “nothing new found”), or he could continued grandstanding and call for further investigation. He’s a politician so I think we all know which option Specter went with. Thankfully Senator Kennedy chimed in with the voice of reason and put it all in perspective:

“With the war in Iraq raging on, gasoline prices closing on $4 a gallon, and Americans losing their homes at record rates to foreclosure, the United States Senate should be focusing on the real problems that Americans are struggling with.”

Let’s face it. Like the Patriots or not, no one wants next season filled with constant references to spygate over and over again. The Patriots organization was fined, Belichick was fined, and anti-Patriot football fans were given exactly what they wanted all along - a Patriots lose in the Superbowl.
