Matt Walsh, Roger Goodell To Meet Today

Even though the NFL has already began it's "nothing new" spin on the videotapes turned over by former New England Patriots video employee Matt Walsh, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Walsh will meet for the first time at 7:30 this morning.

Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe writes that Walsh might only confirm details of the Patriots' videotaping process, details which Goodell might already know thanks to the Patriots disclosure last fall when this story broke.

However, Walsh may provide additional details, such as how the Patriots used the information they gathered in future games against opponents, particularly teams within their own division whom they play twice a season.

Goodell will address the media after his meeting with Walsh, and the contents of the videotapes submitted will be displayed.
