So he has to hand over all material - i.e I assume he is not allowed to keep copies for himself as proof of anything.
And he is not allowed to use any material in a way that is "disparaging" to the NFL or the Patriots. That seems like an agreement widely open to interpretation to me and a nice legal loophole that allows them to go after him if he does not keep everything secret and allows the NFL to present the evidence exactly as they see fit.
So what's to stop Goodell from 'accidently' losing the tapes once again? And if Walsh kept copies and tries to bring them out they go after him for not handing over everything? Or in the other case where Goodell only loses some of the tapes and shows 1 or 2 to the press and claims that is everything there is. Then if Walsh brings out more they come down on him with full force in court because he is using the material in a way that is "disparaging" to the NFL and the Patriots?
It is also stated in the article that the NFL will pay for any expenses related to him presenting his evidence - I only wonder if they're wiring him 100,000 $ for 'airline tickets' and so on, if you know what I mean.
Maybe I'm just a pessimist and this is only speculation of course. But the NFL could silence my doubts very easily and very quickly and I sincerely hope that they do. How?
By simply making available the video evidence, in full, to the public. Nothing to hide? Good, now prove it.
