Matt Walsh, the former New England Patriots videographer who has become the key figure in "spygate," has turned over eight tapes to the NFL offices that reportedly contain evidence of New England coaches taping signals from other teams coach, including the Steelers prior to the 2002 AFC Championship game, according to the New York Times.
The Patriots came into Pittsburgh, and despite being 10-point underdogs, beat the Steelers 24-17. After the game, players were saying how the Patriots players almost seemed to know the plays before they ran them.
Before that Steeler title game, Walsh's tapes show the Patriots recording signs of both Steeler offense and defense coaches edited to two different camera angles of acutal plays that were called.
On Tuesday, Walsh is scheduled to meet in person with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and then Sen. Arlen Specter.
