OK, let's just start out by saying we assume this will be taped.

HBO has announced Matt Walsh, the most famous video assistant in NFL history, will be interviewed by Andrea Kremer on Real Sports Friday at 8 p.m. And while you're watching, Roger Goodell will get between you and your TV and wave his arms, saying, "Nothing to see here, folks. Wouldn't you rather watch Dodgeball over on Fox?"

According to a transcript from HBO, here is part of what Walsh told Kremer about what he heard during the 2000  season:

"I had spoken with one of our quarterbacks, uh, that said, he was called into Coach Belichick’s office shortly before the Tampa Bay game.  In the office was Ernie Adams, Charlie Weis and Coach Belichick.  They closed the door, Charlie said to him, 'You know, we’ve got tape of the Buccaneers coaches defensive signals. What we’re going to do is have you learn this, then we’re going to have you next to Charlie on the sideline, when he’s calling in the play to Drew [Bledsoe, the starting quarterback] over the coach to quarterback communication system. ... You're going to tell Charlie the defense that’s being called, and we’re going to relay the information or use that in calling the play into Drew.' Um, the quarterback, you know, later told me that within two to three seconds of when [Tampa Bay defensive coordinator] Monte Kiffin sent a play call into [Tampa Bay safety] John Lynch, Drew Bledsoe had it in his helmet.”
