NFL Investigating Leaked Patriot Tape

ESPN.com is reporting that the NFL is now conducting a full internal investigation in an effort to discern exactly how the now infamous Patriots spy tape was leaked to the Fox network for use on their NFL pregrame show on Sunday.  The NFL was quick to quell the rumors that multiple copies of the tape were made and distributed to various high ranking members of the NFL staff.  While no one knows as yet how Fox happened to come by the tapes, one can be certain that the next batch of tapes Bellichick turns over will be kept under lock and key and watched 24/7.  You can also pretty much bet the farm that someone is getting fired over this little leak.

It’s almost comical, the whole Patriot-Gate story, at this point.   The Patriots have moved on.  I’m pretty sure the Jets have moved on.  The general public, from what I can tell by talking to my friends and family, seems to have put the story behind them, all the way in last week.  It seems funny to me that the media is still somewhat obsessed with this story.  The NFL has some employee who made a copy of the tape and gave it to Fox, most likely.  That person will be fired by the NFL, and they’ll probably get a job at Fox.  End of story.  Have a nice day.  In actual football news, the Patriots play Buffalo next week, and have Tom Brady, Wes Welker, and Donte Stallworth on my fantasy team.  Go Pats!
