"It was 24 hours, just like anyone else does if they have that offense," said Tatupu, who signed a six-year, $42 million contract extension in March, six weeks before Kirkland police arrested him. He registered 0.155 and 0.158 in breath test readings, nearly twice the Washington state intoxication threshold of 0.08, according to an arrest report. He was also fined $1,255. "I want to apologize ... to anyone I have let down, especially the kids out there. It’s not the right thing to do. You shouldn’t drink and drive," Tatupu said. "I’ll never forget about it. I’m just glad no one was injured. I think I’ll be a better person for it. I already know I have taken great strides." |
| 2008-02-18 | The_Incorrigibles | Patriots | Nuisance | Crime Link | 3 | I really think that with Big Bill making a denial announcement and the league looking into the taping of games from 6 years back there are more points here but the only ones I am sure of are that he is again apologizing.
Regardless, Belichick apologized again for the Patriots’ actions. "I respect the integrity of the game and always have and always will," Belichick said. "I regret that any of this, or to whatever extent, it has in any way brought that into question or discussion or debate. The decision was made by the commissioner, the practice was immediately stopped, and we’re not doing it. "Just going back over the whole taping incident, if I contacted the league and asked them about the practice, I’m sure they would have told me -- as they have done -- that it is not permissible. Then I could have avoided all of this. "I take responsibility for it. Even though I felt there was a gray area in the rule and I misinterpreted the rule, that was my mistake and we’ve been penalized for it. I apologize to everybody that is involved -- the league, the other teams, the fans, our team |

| 2008-02-08 | Trailer_Trash | West Coast | Nuisance | Crime Link | 1 | GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- University of North Dakota men’s hockey coach Dave Hakstol has been suspended for two games and reprimanded for profane language and a gesture he made at a referee during a heated Saturday night game with Minnesota.
During the second period of game, which ended in a 1-1 tie, a television camera showed Hakstol sticking up his middle finger at referee Don Adam after the two discussed a penalty call. Acting University of North Dakota athletic directors Betty Ralston and Steve Brekke announced the suspension on Monday. "We expect our coaches to keep themselves and their teams in control at all times," Ralston said. "Profane language and poor behavior on the part of our coaches and student-athletes is unacceptable." The Sioux have this week off before playing host to Denver on Feb. 15-16. Hakstol will not coach the two-game series, UND said. Western Collegiate Hockey Association Commissioner Bruce McLeod said Hakstol violated the league’s code of sportsmanlike conduct. The WCHA issued a reprimand to Hakstol on Monday and said it endorsed the UND suspension. "We appreciate the rapid response and action taken by the University of North Dakota today and we are in complete agreement with that decision," the WCHA said in a statement. Hakstol called Adam after the game to personally apologize, and issued a statement Sunday. "I would like to sincerely apologize to our fans, players and entire program, as well as all college hockey fans, the WCHA and Don Adam for my actions during the second period of last night’s game versus the University of Minnesota," Hakstol’s statement said. "I’m disappointed in myself for allowing my emotions and frustrations to get the better of me. I pride myself in not allowing this type of thing to occur. "Most importantly, I am a parent before I am a coach, and I understand the responsibility that we carry as coaches within the WCHA to young hockey fans and families everywhere. I have evaluated and feel terrible about my actions and can assure everyone that such a thing will never happen again." |
