    Pretty good read and I find this to be the most obvious point of it and one which people aren't really talking about that much.

    "Here's why: Matt Walsh has to have something. He absolutely, positively has to possess some piece of evidence on the Patriots' illegal taping of opponents' signals that Bill Belichick wants revealed as much as he wants his playbook in the public domain.

    Would Walsh's lawyer waste all this time and energy and make such a grand back-and-forth fuss negotiating indemnification terms with the NFL if his client is only ready to testify that Tom Brady should've been picked earlier than the sixth round?

    Yes, it's possible Walsh has nothing to convince the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, to add to the Spygate penalties — a $500,000 fine for Belichick, a $250,000 fine for the Patriots, and the forfeiture of a first-round draft pick. It's possible Walsh is nothing more than an attention hound making a play for his 15 minutes of Warholesque fame, an assistant golf pro who wants to be as famous as Tiger Woods for a few glorious weeks.


    It's more likely he's a former low-level Patriots aide who played some below-board Patriot games that would widen the league's investigation and take it places commissioner Goodell never wanted it to go."
