There was a rumor making the rounds on the Internet on Tuesday that FOX’s Jay Glazer, who somehow obtained the confiscated videotape from the Pats-Jets game in Week One, has in his possession some of the additional tapes surrendered by the Patriots to the league office.  As the rumor goes, Congress wants the cage-fighting NFL insider to step into a very different kind of ring to explain what he knows.

Glazer denied the rumor on FOX Sports Radio.

“It’s been reported that I’ve agreed to go to the Senate and give up the Patriots’ spy tapes.  I was contacted this morning about this, [and] that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.  I do have Spygate tapes at my house, absolutely, and it will be shown, but, only for my next party.  I have not been contacted by anybody in the NFL, nobody in the Senate or by anybody in Congress.  People have even told me I have to get a legal team. . . . This is just not true.  Nothing could be further from the truth. . . .  If they want to see it at the next party I have, they can come see it.”

(We’re pretty sure he’s kidding about actually having other tapes.)

Glazer’s acquisition of the Pats-Jets tape was one of the stated reasons for the league’s decision to destroy the information turned over by the Patriots in the wake of Spygate I.  The concern, supposedly, is that some of the things given up by the Pats would make their way into the mitts of the media.  Plenty of folks still have misgivings, however, about the notion that the stuff was eliminated because the league didn’t think it was sufficiently competent to safeguard it.
