This should put a nice cap on what was an extremely hectic and convoluted week in Boston sports media.

It’s a CBS News exclusive with Bill Belichick and great get by the always-spectacular Armen Keteyian.

(Just a 15 second snippet of the interview) (UPDATE: SoxandDawgs has the full interview here. Nice work S&D.)

Among the things said by Belichick:

• ”There was no deception,” Belichick said.

• ”I don’t know what his agenda is, and again, he was fired for poor job performance,” Belichick said. “There’s not a lot of credibility. You know he’s tried to make it seem like we’re buddies and belong to the same book club and all that. And that’s really a long, long stretch.”

• ”For him to talk about game-planning and strategy and play-calling and how he advised co-ordinators, is - it’s embarrassing; it’s absurd,” Belichick said. “He didn’t have any knowledge of football. He was our third video assistant.”

• Keteyian: “Why would Matt Walsh say he was told by his superiors to avoid detection, not wear Patriots clothing, and to lie about what he was shooting?”

“I never told anybody to do that,” Belichick said. “All I can tell you is what the facts are. You look at the tape. You see him filming the game. You tell me how discreet it is.”

• Belichick acknowledged when the rule was clarified by the league in September, 2006 - outlawing “videotaping of any type” during a game, he stepped over the line.

“Bill, you got the memo,” Keteyian said. “I mean, you couldn’t be any more clear than…”

“I made a mistake,” Belichick said. “I was wrong. I was wrong.”

• ”People have said you flat-out cheated,” Keteyian said. “What do you say to those people?”

“What I’ve said to you,” Belichick said. “I told you the truth.”
