Not that you're actually going to search a newsstand for a Boston Herald, but today's front page might actually be of interest — because it's a forced apology to the New England Patriots. [E&P] The entire front page, plus part of the back sports page, is being used to say sorry for the paper's February story, which accused the NFL team of breaking league rules by videotaping the St. Louis Rams' team practices the day before the two faced off in Super Bowl XXXVI.

Naturally, the paper's commenters are having a field day.

Despite the popularity of Brian Williams and The Office, CBS won, bringing in 13.7 million viewers to NBC’s 11.67 million.

People like to watch CBS. If only they liked watching Katie Couric.
