As I was saying, apparently everyone is cheating.
Now Patriots' coach Bill Belichick is apologizing for the conflagration that has grown out of Sunday's videotaping debacle.
Here's what he had to say:
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots coach Bill Belichick apologized Wednesday for the commotion surrounding his team following accusations that his club spied on the Jets during New England’s season-opening victory in New York.
Belichick said he spoke with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell this week about a "videotaping procedure" during last Sunday’s game and "my interpretation of the rules."
"At this point, we have not been notified of the league’s ruling," Belichick said in a statement. "Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players. Following the league’s decision, I will have further comment."
The statement follows a report that the NFL is considering punishing the Patriots for spying. Belichick refused to elaborate on the statement several times during a news conference. After about 15 minutes discussing Sunday’s game, he was pressed harder on his "interpretation of the rules," and the coach walked out of the room.
