Spygate probably is never going away.

One of the reasons for that is several players, and even coaches, from teams the New England Patriots beat in the playoffs from 2001 through 2006 have been outspoken about feeling cheated or having suspicions of rules being broken.

Mike Martz, who was the head coach of the St. Louis Rams team upset in Super Bowl XXXVI by the Patriots in Feb., 2002, was thrust back into the Spygate controversy last week when an ESPN report claimed that a statement on the NFL's investigation of Spygate that he gave commissioner Roger Goodell was edited.

Martz recently talked to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora about the league potentially adding to his statement after he submitted it.

"I can't recall writing the last few lines of the statement," Martz said. "I don't recall writing anything about Matt Walsh. Could it have been I did it? Maybe. But I don't think I would have written that. I couldn't say with 100 percent certainty that I didn't."

One of the accusations against the Patriots from Super Bowl 36 is they taped the Rams' pre-game walk-through. Walsh was a video assistant with the Patriots during the 2001 season, which included the Super Bowl.

Martz told La Canfora that he has his "suspicions" about the Patriots videotaping or watching the Rams walk-through, but added "it's not something I really worry about or think about."

For Martz, the loss in Super Bowl 36 was the beginning of the end for his NFL head coaching career. He went 0-2 in playoff games for the Rams before being fired in 2005. He never became a head coach again.
