The NFL’s investigation into allegations that the Patriots cheated by videotaping opponents — shortened to “Spygate” because “gate” has to follow every scandal thanks to Watergate, even though that was the name of the stupid hotel and we’re GETTING ANGRY NOW — is about to get a lot more interesting. Deep breath. Matt Walsh, the team’s former video assistant, is going to meet with the league. From ESPN.com:

Former New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh, who has told ESPN.com he has potentially damaging information about the team’s taping practices, reached an agreement Wednesday to meet with league officials and turn over any video tapes he might have to support his allegations.

Walsh, employed by the Patriots from 1996 through the 2002 Super Bowl and now an assistant golf pro in Hawaii, is expected to travel to New York and interview with Commissioner Roger Goodell and other NFL officials on Tuesday, May 13. Before the long-anticipated meeting, the agreement calls for Walsh to provide the league any tapes or materials he possesses from his years with the New England Patriots.

Walsh told ESPN.com in a January interview that he had never been contacted by NFL officials during their investigation of the Patriots’ illegal taping practices. It was only after his name surfaced in the media during Super Bowl week that the league attempted to reach Walsh, who worked seven years with the Patriots before being let go in January, 2003.

Walsh claims to have tapes of Tom Brady, dressed as an attractive blonde, infiltrating other teams’ practices.*

*No.
