Eagles Cary Williams apologizes to the Patriots for comments
Last week Cary Williams called the New England Patriots cheaters. Yesterday, Williams picked off a pass and took it to the house. Well after the game Williams went over to coach Belichick to apologize for his comments.
“I told him I was sorry for the words that I said. That was just out of pure emotion, sometimes you say things without really thinking about them,” Williams said to ESPN.com after the game, which the Patriots won 42-35. “That was a situation where playing these guys in the playoffs [while Williams was with the Baltimore Ravens], you develop a hate for them and you try to use any type of anything to get your mind on, or get going. In that situation, I could have chosen my words a little bit wiser.
“But it’s mutual respect between two men. We were able to come together. I told him that I was sorry and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the organization and him as a GM and a coach.”
Williams was asked how Belichick responded to his remarks.
“He said there were no hard feelings and he said he appreciated the comments I made this week, and things like that,” Williams said. “It was just two guys respecting each other, understanding that there is some history there. It’s not necessarily bad blood but it’s the spirit of competition. I said some things I wish I could take back.”
