I could care less. In the end this crap did not have an outcome of any games. It's time to move on.

One tape turned over by Walsh shows Patriots also stole offensive signals
From Day 1 of the Spygate saga in September, the controversy over New England's illicit videotaping practices has centered on the Patriots' efforts to steal their opponents' defensive signals. But the tapes delivered via FedEx to NFL headquarters in New York on Thursday morning also include evidence of an effort by New England to steal offensive signals, which would broaden the extent of the team's surveillance operation.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and staff members began viewing the eight tapes within hours of their long-awaited delivery, in anticipation of Tuesday's scheduled interview with former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh. As part of an indemnification pact reached last month with the league, Walsh agreed to turn over any videotapes or related materials he had from his tenure with the team.
Perhaps the surprise entry on the list of videotaping documents Walsh turned over to the league was tape No. 3, labeled "OFF Signals" from New England's game against the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 7, 2001. That is the only tape labeled as such on a copy of the list obtained by ESPN.com. Walsh's attorney, Michael Levy, confirmed it was the lone footage in Walsh's possession of offensive coaches' signaling from the sidelines.
According to a source, there were many more tapings (click link to read about the source). How do we know this did not affect the outcome of any of our games? If they have the audacity to tape 8 games why wouldnt they tape other games, including ones against us?
Punished enough? In my opinion that team should have been suspended from playing last year and had no right to be playing at all, or make it all the way to the Superbowl for that matter. I'm just VERY happy they lost, because they didn’t deserve to win.
IMO they were nowhere near punished enough. They lost a draft pick. woo hoo.... they still had one in the top 10 from SF. And all that money???!!! in this league that is chump change. I hope more punishment comes from all of this.
