| 12th September, 2007 - 11:41 am |  New York Post - After having his hand apparently caught in the cookie jar by Roger Goodell, Patriots coach Bill Belichick apologized to the rookie NFL commissioner for the ruckus caused by allegations that his team spied on the Jets during the team's season-opening game.
According to an ESPN report, Goodell is poised to penalize the Patriots severely for blatantly violating league rules when they videotaped Jets defensive signals during the course of their 38-14 season-opening romp at Giants Stadium. That is likely to mean one high draft pick, one medium-round draft pick and a hefty fine.
Belichick said he spoke with Goodell about the "videotaping procedure" during 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."
