Walsh/Levy statement

After waiting an hour and 40 minutes outside NFL headquarters on Park Avenue for Matt Walsh and attorney Michael Levy in the hopes Walsh would take a few questions, the pair came out of the building without Walsh saying a word.

The former video assistant stood stoic in a black double-breasted suit as Levy delivered the following statement:

"Mr. Walsh is pleased to have been able to assist the National Football League in its investigation of the New England Patriots' videotaping practices. Senator Arlen Specter has waited quite a while to meet with Mr. Walsh, and we are heading immediately to Washington, D.C. for an appointment this afternoon with Senator Specter. Out of respect for Senator Specter, neither Mr. Walsh nor I will speak with the media prior to meeting with the Senator."

With that, Levy and another gentleman ushed Walsh through the throng, which had grown to include passerby wielding cameraphones.
