(Did John Tomase Make Up the Rams story out of thin air?)

ESPN.com - After brokering a deal to protect himself, former New England Patriots employee Matt Walsh has finally turned over his evidence in the videotaping controversy. Walsh's tapes do not include the video of the St. Louis Rams' walk through before the 2002 Super Bowl, as reported by the Boston Herald. "Mr. Walsh has never claimed to have a tape of the walk-through," said Walsh's lawyer Michael Levy, according to the Times. "Mr. Walsh has never been the source of any of the media speculation about such a tape. Mr. Walsh was not the source for the Feb. 2 Boston Herald article."

Wait a minute. Matt Walsh claims he never talked to John Tomase about the Rams walk through? That means either Walsh is lying or John Tomase made that story up out of thin air. I guess neither scenario is that far fetched. Bottom line is that after all this bullshit it turns out that Matt Walsh had nothing new to add to spygate.  Big fucking surprise.   If this was medieval times both he and John Tomase would be stoned to death and I'm not even sure that would be harsh enough punishment.    It is just so disgusting that these two scumbags were able to hijack the Superbowl by making up lies about the Patriots.   Like we’ve said from the beginning anytime a guy refuses to talk unless he is given immunity for lying you probably shouldn’t believe anything he says to begin with. The bigger issue  is what happens to John Tomase now that he's officially been exposed as a rat.  As I’ve said from day 1 with this story, I think he needs to either write a formal apology and get suspended for a couple months or the Herald needs to fire him. But you can’t let this type of yellow journalism go unpunished.  I mean what kind of precedent does this set if we allow reporters to make up imaginary stories and anonymously quote made up sources to corroborate these tall tales just so they can make a splash? And that's apparently exactly what Tomase did. How can anybody buy a copy of the Herald when they turn a blind eye to this type of shit.  I can guarantee if this was a Globe reporter they’d be calling for his head.   It’s time for them to do the right thing before it’s too late.
