Prior to a regularly scheduled new conference Bill Belichick issued a statement apologizing to his team and confirmed that he had spoken to Goodell about the Tape Gate incident.
"Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players," Belichick said. "Following the league's decision, I will have further comment."
Belichick apparently morphed during the new conference into Drew Rosenhaus and refused to respond to a half-dozen questions about the scandal, possible punishments and the potential effect this will have on his team. All relevant questions I might add.
Michael Strahan even found some time in his busy schedule to give his two cents, "It just makes you wonder how long they've been doing this and has it really helped them win some games?" said current New York Gitans That's no different from the cheating ref in basketball."
Packers CB Al Harris also gave comment, "When you look back, it's scary. I don't want to say anything wrong towards their organization, because I think highly of their coaching staff and their personnel, but if that's the case, that's not right. I would consider it cheating. I honestly would."
Roger Goodell has said that he will make a decision Friday, although that is not set in stone. The Patriots could be looking at losing multiple draft picks and Belichick could be looking at a suspension as well.
