Matt Walsh Day

Posted by Randolph Charlotin May 13, 2008 at 7:26 am

It’s a put up or shut up moment for former New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh. He either has the drop on head coach Bill Belichick and his Spygate practices or Walsh proves to be an exaggerator with a desire for 15 minutes of fame.

I’m not sure what will be said with his meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but this is what I am hoping for. Either way, hopefully this conversation finally closes the book on Spygate.

Part two will be Walsh’s interview with Philadelphia senator Arlen Specter. But who cares about what comes out of this? Specter made up his mind and is sure the Patriots had unfair advantages when they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in two AFC Championships and the narrow victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIV.

Specter is hoping for anything, however minor, to support his beliefs and will exaggerate Walsh’s statements to satisfy the fan in Specter. The Philly Senator has already been critical of the NFL’s handling of Spygate. Converting any shred of reasonable doubt regarding Belichick’s possible advantage into absolute truth is Specter’s goal. It’s what many fans do when their team doesn’t win.

I respect the fan in Specter, but I’d rather he act like a Senator and fix real problems. I’m paying almost $50 to fill my gas tank.
