i have heard of occasions where a confidentiality agreement is signed at termination, but I think it’s when circumstances change and might result in legal action.

I assumed the gray area was somewhere between his nuts and a-hole. Maybe I’ve misinterpreted the question.

@ G-Man:

Don’t people typically sign confidentiality agreements when they are hired? I know I did.

If what Pioli says is true, I have a hard time understanding how or why it came to be that Walsh signed a confidentiality agreement.

“You’re fired, Walsh! Oh, and before you leave we have this little form we want you to sign … “

I’m with Cracker Jack – Walsh was setting up his pay day. Recording conversations is done for 2 reasons: 1) you’re a whack job; 2) you’re preparing for extortion/blackmail.

Of course to set up a blackball, you have to know that you are going to have to have some leverage. In this case, he might be a scumbag, but he probably does have some leverage.(Or he’s lying for attention, in which case he’s still a scumbag, but is destined to fail gloriously)

“Well… Walsh taped the conversations for the same reason McNamee kept old Rocket syringes: to cover his own ass when the shitaki inevitably hit the fan. Who wouldn’t love to hear what those tapes contain (contained?)?”

So now Scott Pioli was ordering that walk-throughs be taped? What could he possibly say to Walsh that would be interesting? This guy lied on his resume, lied about what his responsibilities with the Patriots were, and now sounds like he was completely paranoid.

Speaking of “audio”, how about Pioli commenting on why that little weasel Walsh got fired… audio-taping conversations between you and your boss?? What a nut job!
