When the "SpyGate" videotaping scandal erupted in September 2007, then-Jets coach Eric Mangini deflected questions on whether he blew the whistle on his former team, the Patriots. Privately, Jets officials claimed Mangini had no involvement. On Tuesday, Mangini hinted that he played a role in busting the Patriots, admitting he has "a lot of regrets." It ruined his relationship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, a former mentor. "It's one of those things where the end result wasn't the goal," Mangini said. "I owe so much to Bill. I appreciate what he's done for me and my intention was never to hurt him or the (Patriots) organization, the Kraft family. "Yeah, there's a lot of regrets, I didn't want to hurt him or the Patriots by any stretch."
