BOSTON — Patriots Coach Bill Belichick has denied suggestions by a former employee that his club taped St. Louis's walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl.

Belichick told the Boston Globe that in his entire coaching career, he has never seen recordings of another team's practice before playing that team.

Still, Belichick apologized to the league, the other teams, the fans and the team for the controversy caused by the entire taping incident.
