The Boston Globe just wrote an account of the life and times of Matt Walsh, the former New England Patriots employee who is in the midst of his Andy Warhol 10 or 15 minutes because he has implied he has spy-type information damaging to the NFL club.

The article describes Walsh as a guy scuffling to get an occupational toehold in the glamorous world of sports with so-so success. During Walsh's tenure with the Patriots, he was always pretty far down in the organizational chain of command, but people who knew him there and were quoted by name were positive to neutral on the guy.

Somehow he wound up irking Scott Pioli, the Patriots' vice president of player personnel, because Pioli criticized Walsh's job performance in early 2003 and then fired him after Pioli discovered Walsh had taped the meeting. Walsh's attorney reportedly has said that was not true.

So now Walsh, a guy that Patriots coach Bill Belichick says he couldn't pick out of a lineup, is close to working out the details of telling his story to the NFL. And maybe this all goes nowhere because maybe Walsh is a nobody with nothing important to say.

Then again, Kirk Radomski was a so-called nobody, just a clubhouse attendant for the New York Mets, and he merely wound up being the key informant in baseball's steroid scandal.
