Another Philly Guy Gets It

Leave it to Philly's own Sal Paolantonio to jam Goodell the way he needs to be jammed:

In the days since former New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh emerged from his Maui hideaway and surrendered eight tapes to the NFL, there has been a hasty conclusion that the whole sordid Spygate affair is finally finished -- a judgment reached by some of the media before NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has had the chance to depose Walsh by asking some tough, pointed questions.

That's a bad idea. The world of pro football has waited since February for Walsh to step before Goodell -- and hopefully this time the commissioner won't be in a rush to dismiss the possible implications.

Instead, on Tuesday in New York, Goodell should grill Walsh and sort out some still unresolved issues regarding Bill Belichick's now-documented system of cheating, which is clear from Walsh's tapes that go back seven years.

Funny.  Sports Illustrated has always had the reputation as being the more "serious" news outlet.  Yet their guys seem to be in a rush to bury this whole thing as quickly as possible (summer vacation plans?) while we've got a couple of ESPNers -- I count Easterbrook in this -- who aren't willing to let this go away until we know the full story. 

Good for them.  Now it's Yahoo Sports' turn, since it seems like those guys now break all the big news, even though no one ever reads them the rest of the time.
