BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Herald has apologized for reporting
that the New England Patriots videotaped a walkthrough by the St.
Louis Rams one day before the two teams played in the Super Bowl in
2002.
In the apology, published in the newspaper's Wednesday edition
and posted on its Web site, the Herald said it now knows the report
was inaccurate and that no tape ever existed.
The apology came one day after former Patriots video assistant
Matt Walsh met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Walsh told
Goodell he did not tape the walkthrough and had no knowledge of any
other Patriots employees having done so.
The Herald's Feb. 2 story, published one day before New
England's 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants, was based
on unidentified sources.
