Goodell: Nothing new from Walsh on SpyGate
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 02:04PM ET
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he learned nothing new about the Spygate scandal after meeting with former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh for nearly 3 1/2 hours Tuesday. The NFL released the tapes Walsh provided, and they didn't show any previously undisclosed rules violations. The clips cut between shots of opposing coaches sending in signals and the play that followed. "The fundamental information that Matt provided was consistent with what we disciplined the Patriots for last fall," Goodell said at a news conference.

Is Horn heading to the Cowboys?
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 06:01AM ET
The Cowboys have made no secret of the fact that they're in the market for a playmaking WR to put opposite T.O. Joe Horn has made no secret of the fact that he wants the heck out of Atlanta. Do we have a match or what? If the Cowboys add Horn to the Valley Ranch Circus, they would probably have the most quotable receiver corps in NFL history. Horn could definitely help T.O. come up with a few more creative end zone dances, and he'd be pure gold on Hard Knocks.

Did Pats film SB XXXVI walkthrough?
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 05:15AM ET
When former Patriots employee Matt Walsh meets with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this morning in New York, one topic figures to trump all: Walsh's recollections from Feb. 2, 2002. The St. Louis Rams' walkthrough practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI was held that day inside the Louisiana Superdome, a session that, according to an anonymous source of the Boston Herald's, was filmed by a member of the Patriots video department. The Patriots denied the report the day it was published, Feb. 2, 2008. If Goodell determines the Patriots did film the practice, he has said, he would revisit the issue and could impose more penalties against the club. He could have his answer this morning. Walsh's lawyer, Michael Levy, told the New York Times last week that Walsh never claimed to have a tape of the Rams' walkthrough, and was not the source for the article. But that doesn't mean Walsh can't provide more background from that day in New Orleans, and answer the key question - whether there was any filming by a member of the video department.

T.O. wants to end career with 'Boys
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 05:58AM ET
Past contract disputes involving Terrell Owens have led to holdouts, public disputes and sidewalk sit-ups. Going into the final year of a three-year, $25 million deal, Owens hopes his days in Dallas aren't dwindling. But even if they are, he says the unrest created as he shot his way out of San Francisco and Philadelphia should not be expected this time around. "For sure, I definitely want to end my career with the Dallas Cowboys, and go into the Hall of Fame as a Dallas Cowboy," said Owens, who was also promoting his Wednesday appearance on the MyNetworkTV sitcom Under One Roof. "I'm going to let God fight that battle for me. There was a situation where the contract didn't work out in Philly. With this, I'm going to let it play out and not try to be a distraction."

Ravens may use three-receiver set
Posted: Tuesday May 13, 2008 05:11AM ET
One of the questions heading into Ravens minicamp was the pecking order of the wide receivers. But Derrick Mason, Demetrius Williams and Mark Clayton aren't battling against each other. They are teaming up in pursuit of a common goal. If this unit plays up to expectations, there is a possibility the Ravens could use three wide receivers as their primary formation. "It's not a possibility. It will happen," Mason said yesterday as the Ravens wrapped up their only mandatory minicamp of the offseason.
