Former Patriot Employee Walsh Turns Over Eight "Spygate" Tapes To NFL

New York (AHN) -- Former New England Patriots employee Matt Walsh turned over eight tapes to the NFL on Wednesday, showing that the Patriots recorded the offensive and defensive play-calling signals of five opponents in six games between 2000 and 2002.

The NFL confirmed the tapes were in regular-season games against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers as well as against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2002 AFC Championship Game.

Taping the signals of opposing teams is prohibited by league rules.

The Patriots were fined a total of $750,000 and lost a first-round draft choice for taping the signals of the New York Jets at the beginning of the 2007 season. At the time, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell left open the possibility of future penalties.

Walsh, now a golf pro in Hawaii, was an employee of the Patriots from 1997-2003. He brokered a deal with the NFL where he would turn over the tapes in exchange for not being held accountable for future legal fees.

A notable omission from the tapes was the St. Louis Rams walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl.

The Boston Herald had reported that was among Walsh's videos, but his lawyers denied he ever had that video and that he wasn't the source of the Herald's Feb. 2 article.

Walsh is still scheduled to meet with Goodell and Senator Arlen Specter to further explain details about the taping process.
