“I accept full responsibility for the actions that led to tonight’s ruling. Once again, I apologize to the Kraft family and every person directly or indirectly associated with the New England Patriots for the embarrassment, distraction and penalty my mistake caused. I also apologize to Patriots fans and would like to thank them for their support during the past few days and throughout my career.

“As the Commissioner acknowledged, our use of sideline video had no impact on the outcome of last week’s game. We have never used sideline video to obtain a competitive advantage while the game was in progress.

“Part of my job as head coach is to ensure that our football operations are conducted in compliance of the league rules and all accepted interpretations of them. My interpretation of a rule in the Constitution and Bylaws was incorrect.

“With tonight’s resolution, I will not be offering any further comments on this matter. We are moving on with our preparations for Sunday’s game.”

Have your fun, other Brad. Nice of you to include our little board in your round of trolling tonight.

How many of you reading this post were part of that cavalcade of abuse on Bonds? Have your feelings changed now that you’ve been dipped in the unholy waters of “cheating”?

Sucks being in a position where you can be lumped together with Bonds fans, don’t it? I think everyone should feel that sting of humiliation. Just to keep you honest the next time you’re ready to crucify some other team or player as part of a national frenzy of self-righteousness.

Time to move on and make this all irrelevant come February.
