Boston Herald apologizes for Patriots videotaping coverage

The Boston Herald reported in early February that a member of the Patriots staff taped the Rams’ walkthrough the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. In the interest of full disclosure, I was part of the Herald organization at the time.

As of today, they have owned up to the error in reporting in an honest and earnest fashion with an A1 mea culpa and having the apology lead their web site.

“We now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed… The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation.”

I have tremendous respect for their sports editors and the entire organization. My hope is that they allow their readers the opportunity to vent their anger and frustration by leveraging the web site as a vehicle for communication through their commenting function, and that the readers abstain from personal attacks on John Tomase.
