Five days ago, ESPN and Sports Illustrated raced down a rabbit hole that the league long ago had tried to plug with cement. In the aftermath of new-old details regarding the manner in which the league destroyed the SpyGate evidence, one key piece remains.
It’s the tape FOX’s Jay Glazer debuted the Sunday after the Patriots were caught videotaping defensive coaching signals against the Jets. Glazer still has it, and he explained on FOX’s pregame show that it lasts roughly 20 minutes.
Glazer also said that Senator Arlen Specter, who led the charge against the Patriots and the NFL in the aftermath of Spygate, tried hard to get the tape. Per Glazer, Specter initially offered to trade a much bigger scoop. Then, according to Glazer, he was threatened with possible jail time.
Despite his appearance, musculature, and attitude, Glazer didn’t go to jail. At least not for failing to give up the Spygate video.
