Patriots tape Rams walkthrough of red zone offense before Super Bowl.

Rams score on one play in redzone. A play they didn't use in the walkthrough.

Interesting new developments.

1. "Club and league officials..."

“Club and league officials (our emphasis) said a telescope was clearly visible in the window, according to a pool report, and that 15 minutes later, a person appeared at the window, and then vanished.”

The story is interesting on a day in which the losing quarterback in Super Bowl XXXVI, Kurt Warner, has angrily decried the rumor that the Patriots filmed Rams walk-through before the game.

He has a right to be angry.

But any legitimate news source needs to look at the accusation on both sides. At least if these sources are something more than rag peddlers of pigskin conspiracies.

As far as we know, the NFL itself did not report any spies at Rams practice before Super Bowl XXXVI. That rumor, which may yet prove true, came from other sources. But the NFL did report a possible spy at Patriots practice before Super Bowl XXXVI.

We’re not holding our breath though, folks, expect equal treatment of these stories in the media. And we’re sure as hell not expecting the NFL to demand evidence from the Rams organization and levy huge fines against the organization if they were in fact cheating, as league officials seemed to indicate.

What we’re are expecting is a media hurricane that breaches the levies of hackery and floods the airwaves with our mortal enemies, opinion and rumor.

The Patriots deserve to be investigated and punished if they were caught breaking the rules. But we'll know "SpyGate" is a witch hunt if the media ignores the eyewitness accounts from no less a source than NFL officials themselves.
