ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A somber coach Josh McDaniels apologized Saturday for his failure to promptly report to team executives and the NFL a secret videotaping of a portion of a 49ers' walk-through practice. A Broncos employee recorded the tape the day before Denver played San Francisco in London last month.McDaniels said Broncos video director Steve Scarnecchia, who has been fired by the team, acted on his own when he filmed six minutes of the 49ers' practice. The coach added that when Scarnecchia informed him about the videotape later that same day, he was told immediately by McDaniels that's not the way he operates. McDaniels said he refused to view the videotape and directed that the file be deleted from a computer laptop. The 49ers beat the Broncos 24-16 at Wembley Stadium the next day.
Team officials said they became aware of the episode on Nov. 8, and began an internal probe in addition to notifying the league, which subsequently initiated its own investigation.
Neither the team nor the league would say who first made them aware of the taping, saying that information was confidential.
