<table> </table> As far as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is concerned, it&#8217;s time to move on from Spygate.</p><p>Goodell&#8217;s long-awaited meeting with former New England video assistant Matt Walsh on Tuesday at the NFL headquarters in New York did not produce further evidence that the Patriots violated league rules beyond what the league already knew.</p><p>And that includes Walsh&#8217;s verification that the Patriots did not videotape the St. Louis Rams&#8217; walkthrough on the day before the 2002 Super Bowl, as alleged by <em>The Boston Herald </em>last February.</p><p>&#8220;The fundamental information that Matt provided was consistent with what we knew last September,&#8221; Goodell said at a news conference.</p><p>Goodell fined New England coach Bill Belichick a record $500,000 and the club $250,000, and he stripped the Patriots of their first-round pick in the 2008 draft after a New England employee was caught videotaping New York Jets sideline signals during the 2007 season opener.</p><p>Goodell does not plan further sanctions against New England and, after speaking with Walsh and interviewing more than 50 others in the matter, hopes one of the most sordid chapters in NFL history is over.</p><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know where else I would turn,&#8221; Goodell said. &#8220;I always reserve the right if new information comes up, I will look at it. That&#8217;s my responsibility.&#8221;</p><p>Walsh told Goodell he was in the Louisiana Superdome wearing Patriots gear while setting up equipment during St. Louis&#8217; walkthrough the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. Although there was no videotaping of the walkthrough, NFL attorney Gregg Levy said Walsh provided information to then-New England assistant Brian Daboll of what he saw, notably that running back Marshall Faulk was returning kicks, and how the Rams used their tight ends in certain situations.</p><p>The NFL is looking into that allegation, said Levy, who attended Tuesday&#8217;s meeting.</p><p>The Patriots issued a statement on Tuesday, saying, &#8220;We hope that with Matt Walsh&#8217;s disclosures, everyone will finally believe what we have been saying all along and emphatically stated on the day of the initial report: &#8216;The suggestion that the New England Patriots recorded the St. Louis Rams&#8217; walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI in 2002 is absolutely false. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue.&#8217; &#8221;</p><p>Before Goodell&#8217;s news conference, reporters saw tapes of five Patriots opponents, including Miami, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo and San Diego. The Steelers&#8217; footage was from the 2002 AFC championship game. The video also included about two minutes of footage of cheerleaders.</p><p>According to Goodell, it was Belichick&#8217;s interpretation that it was within the rules to videotape the signals as long as the information was not used in the same game.</p><p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t accept Belichick&#8217;s explanation,&#8221; Goodell said.</p><p>Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards was head coach of the Jets during that period, but he declined comment on Tuesday.</p><p>The process, Walsh told Goodell, was that Walsh would take his videotape, mark it and hand it over to Ernie Adams, a longtime associate of Belichick&#8217;s and listed as the Patriots&#8217; football research director.</p><p>Walsh, who worked for New England in various capacities during 1997 to 2003 and is now a golf pro in Hawaii, shared two potential violations of league rules unrelated to Spygate, Goodell said. A player on injured reserve practiced when he wasn&#8217;t allowed to in 2001. Walsh also scalped eight to 12 Super Bowl tickets for Patriots players over two seasons. The NFL will investigate both claims.</p><p>Walsh did not comment after leaving the NFL offices to travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, has been critical of the NFL&#8217;s handling of the investigation.</p><p>Specter met with Goodell in February after raising the possibility of congressional hearings if he wasn&#8217;t satisfied with the commissioner&#8217;s answers about the handling of the investigation.</p><p>Walsh stood stone-faced as his lawyer, Michael Levy, addressed reporters outside the NFL offices after their meeting.</p><p>&#8220;Out of respect for Sen. Specter, neither Mr. Walsh nor I will speak with the media prior to meeting with the Senator,&#8221; Levy said.</p><p>Specter postponed his news conference to today when his meeting with Walsh ran long.
