Former St. Louis Rams safety Willie Gary filed a lawsuit last month alleging that the New England Patriots had taped the Rams' final practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI, depriving him of a Super Bowl ring that would be worth $125,000 on the open market. But now that lawsuit has been dropped. Pro Football Talk has the link to the Rule 41 dismissal of Wille Gary et al vs. New England Patriots et al, in which Gary's attorneys say they're dropping the case, basically because they have no evidence, although they leave room for the possibility that they'll re-file if former Patriots employee Matt Walsh comes forward with evidence that the Patriots did, indeed, tape the Rams.
The whole thing comes across as fairly ridiculous, as Gary and his lawyers seem to have filed this lawsuit based solely on one article they read in the Boston Herald -- and a misreading of the Herald article at that. There may be merit to the Herald article that got this whole Patriotgate Part 2 started, but there does not appear to be any merit to Gary's lawsuit.

1. good story about pats. Another jealous hater found to be a fraud. The sound of the crickets chirping in here is deafening. But it only proves what I have said all along about the haters.
Chirp. Chirp.
next week, when another jealous hater makes a fraudulent claim, you will all jump on the hater wagon again, and then, when he, too, if proven to be a fraud, I will be the lone voice. LOL.

6. ok lets talk bout haters hmmm im a 49ers fan which they suck now but the first to win 5 without cheating or should i say getting caught this goes for everything if you cheat dont get caught im sure theres taping going on but if the stories arent true why were the tapes destroyed as arlin spector is tryin to find out. the nfl needed to be the top of the stories so this came about so that way it would take the attention from steroids and hgh in baseball and not only do they tape i heard that tom brady was found to be having phone convos with bary bonds and his trainer him i wonder why he can throww the ball 40 times week in and week out
