No, you're agreeing on the FACTS; you're disagreeing on the INTERPRETATION of the facts."He said that's always been his interpretation since he's been the head coach," the commissioner said. "We are going to agree to disagree on the facts." Quote Specter, from Pennsylvania, wants to talk to other league officials about what exactly was taped and which games may have been compromised. We do? My copy of the Constitution must be out of date. Does anyone have a more recent goddamn piece of paper I can look at?"We have a right to have honest football games," he said. Quote He scoffed at the reasons Goodell gave for destroying the tapes and notes, particularly about trying to keep them out of competitors' hands and because Belichick had admitted to the taping. For what? They had the investigation, Belichick/NE admitted doing it, they were fined, and there's no appellate court available. Preserving "evidence" just keeps alive the chance that someone leaks it to the press."What's that got to do with it? There's an admission of guilt, you preserve the evidence," Specter said. As for keeping the tapes out of the hands of others: "All you have to do is lock up the tapes."

As for keeping the tapes out of the hands of others: "All you have to do is lock up the tapes." True. True. Here's why: A former video technician for the Pats said that they not only filmed incidents during games, but he claimed they had filmed a closed door practice of the Rams days prior to the Super Bowl, in which they upset the Rams. With the tapes destoyed there can be no hubub made of the incident - it will have to live its life akin to the pristine bullet theory now. Goodell may well have been motivated to hide such evidence to prevent a considerable scandal in the NFL should incidents such as the one the former video tech spoke of be true.
