If the Giants were to beat the Patriots it would rank as arguably the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. One of the games in that conversation would be New England taking down the 'Greatest Show on Turf' in Super Bowl XXXVI. That team, with a 2nd year quarterback drafted in the 6th round at the helm, was given very little chance to win. The St. Louis Rams led the NFL in passing, scoring and total yards and considered one of the best offenses in NFL history. St. Louis scored just 17 points. A stunning victory, with a crafty defensive gameplan conjured up by genius Bill Belichick. Maybe we know why is was so genius, now.
The Boston Herald reports today that a Patriots employee filmed the Rams walkthrough practice the day before the game. In conjunction, ESPN talked with a former Patriots video assistant, Matt Walsh, who hinted at an extensive filming history but was concerned about legal implications if he spoke too much.
This former employee who apparently knows a great deal at all things 'spygate' hasn't been contact at all by the NFL, which shouldn't be much of a surprise. Skeptics (myself include) would believe that it's in the best interest of the league to try and push this whole issue under the rug. It's clear there's a lot more information being hidden from the public, and the fact Roger Goodell destroyed the tapes from earlier this year isn't going make matters any better for the NFL. I don't know how this will end, but I'm guessing not well. It was easy to hide damaging information from fans 10 years ago, but not any more.
The bad news is this means endless spygate talk tomorrow. The good news is that we're getting closer to the truth.
