Somewhat of a bizarre scene here in a ballroom at the Intercontinental Hotel as the media waits for commissioner Roger Goodell to show up for a news conference to talk about his meeting with Matt Walsh.

The league right now is showing the media excerpts of videotapes that were in the possession of the former New England Patriots employee. It's obvious the tapes focus on coaches giving signals on the opposing sidelines.

But the strangest moment of what's becoming a strange day just happened when shots of cheerleaders appeared on one of the videos. Two representatives of the law firm McKee Nelson LLP quickly got up and went around to tell several dozen media members that the shots of the cheerleaders were not shot by Walsh.

Several reporters quickly asked who did film the cheerleader segments. The quick response came again and even more firmly: "Matt Walsh did not film the part with the cheerleaders.'.
