What about Bob?

Bill Belichick said earlier today that he and several other Patriots' staffers were interviewed by NFL investigators shortly after their Super Bowl loss against the Giants in an effort to determine if the team illegally taped the Rams' walkthrough the day before the Patriots first Super Bowl victory after the 2001 season.

It was the first acknowledgement that the league continued its investigation after it was reported that a former team official had taped the walkthrough. But the league found no evidence of any wrongdoing, and is still waiting to hear from former Patriots video employee Matt Walsh about any additional illegal taping activity done by the team.

Belichick thinks the matter is over, although there won't be any real sense of closure until Walsh either says what he knows or decides he won't talk and will simply walk away from the hornet's nest he has stirred up.

"I think they've addressed everything they possibly can address," Belichick said of the league's investigation.

"I've addressed so many questions so many times from so many people I don't know what else the league could ask," he said.

Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the NFL spoke again with Belichick and other Patriots employees after last January's Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants. The league has been negotiating an agreement with Walsh that it hopes will get Walsh, a golf pro in Hawaii, to come forward with what he has.

"We followed up on other things because certain things had been tossed out," Goodell said of the added round of interviews with Belichick and other members of the Patriots front office.
