NFL Network apologizes for expletives about Bill Belichick 03.13.13 at 11:17 am ET

The NFL Network offered an apology Wednesday for accidentally airing a series of expletives a day earlier, apparently from Warren Sapp, who was commenting on a discussion about Patriots coach Bill Belichick‘s draft philosophy.

During a segment with host Scott Hanson and former Patriots and Chiefs executive Scott Pioli in which Belichick was discussed, a voice can be heard off camera whispering, “It’s the same [expletive] segment we had Mike Lombardi do. The [expletive] Bill Belichick [expletive] angle.”

Hanson later appeared to make a joking reference to the incident, saying, “Warren Sapp calling me out off camera. That’s not the first time that’s happened today.”

Host Chris Rose opened Wednesday’s “Free Agency Frenzy” show with an apology:

“Before we give you the news of the day we want to offer an apology,” Rose said. “Last night during some live programming, we accidentally aired an expletive. It will not happen again, so our sincerest apology to Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, the Patriots family, Robert Kraft and his entire family, a classy organization out there. Once again, it’s not who we are, it’s not what we do, and it will not happen again.”

    Sapp should have done it … broke has been with butter yellow teeth and diabetes

  • Bad Media Hype

    Sapp has always been useless.  Nice to see he’s proving it out on a national forum

  • sapp & agenda must go

    That’s sapp for u useless & a racists imagin if it was an white guy they would have his head & if it was about a black coach that would have not been said which proves that because of his race nothing will be done unless it was a white man no class no standard for all. We all should be treated the same & he should be gone I know he has said a lot more sapp will get away with it. I’m tierd of the of this u know what some can say what ever and some can say something & there heads will be called for & linked to some sad form of racism. Were are u know Jessie Jackson oh yeah still playing the card & and living off the poor of the poorest black people. And shame on the net work an apology means nothing and it did not come from sapp besides sap has nothing to add to the show unless its about him. What a world we live in a one way street we all must be treated the same. And all must pay the same price. Racism will never go away because that’s how people get by as long as adults and others keep teaching it the young and inicent will keep learning it thinking its ok and keep passing on this sad tradition. Again shame on the network reverse jimmy the Greek with no results. I guess the beat goes on very sad and very bad way to go sapp no class. An apology does not cut it. U lost a loyal fan of the show and I know u don’t care.
