Not true. The following is from the Reiss/Vega Boston Globe article. This is what Wilfork described the meeting:
Wilfork also detailed that his first fine last season - for a low hit on Bills quarterback J.P. Losman - was a big part of the meeting.
"That's something that really bothered me, because I think that's the one that led me to being looked at last year. That play right there really labeled me," Wilfork said. "They told me and showed me what they were thinking. They looked at how long the ball was out [of Losman's hands] and my elbow. I could understand that and I said, 'The last thing I want is for you to judge me as a dirty player. That's not me.' I think I got through to them, but at the same time, I understand what they're thinking about.
Saying that he can understand why someone would fine him is different than him saying he committed a "cheap shot."
A high school newspaper writer could see the difference. Chris Mortensen can't. Another football media titan showing how little you have to work to maintain your position in the business.
