So this is how Spygate ends, not with a bang but a whimper.

Matt Walsh met this week with the league, which discovered about as much as Geraldo Rivera did in Al Capone’s vault. If anything, it confirmed the Patriots were videotaping opponents when they could, which they have already been penalized for. Though the Pats’ reputation might not have improved this week, I don’t think it tarnished any more.

Though Senator Arlen Specter is threatening more investigations, I doubt there we’ll hear additional shocking news on Spygate. Commissioner Roger Goodell has wished this would go away for several months now. Expect him to get his wish.
