EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards apologized on Thursday for his DWI from late May, calling it a poor decision and saying he knows he wont do it again.I just want to say publicly, as Ive done privately, that I apologize to our organization, our owners, our coaches, our players, everybody involved in this organization for any negative light that has been shined upon because of this poor decision that Ive made, Edwards said Thursday. It was definitely my responsibility. It was a poor decision on my part, and Ive taken the steps to ensure that it doesnt happen again.Edwards was charged with three misdemeanors in May, after a breath test showed his blood alcohol content was 0.11 (over Minnesotas legal limit of 0.08) following a traffic stop at a Taco Bell. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor careless driving on Aug. 30, and coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday the team required Edwards to make a huge monetary commitment, among other things, after he notified the team of his arrest.The 49-year-old was placed on a year of probation after pleading guilty. He paid a $1,000 fine, underwent a chemical evaluation and attended a Mothers Against Drunk Driving panel discussion as part of his sentence.Since then, Ive followed the protocol, Edwards said. I notified the team right away [after the arrest]. I notified Coach [Zimmer] of it, followed the protocol and went through the steps that were necessary to be at this point right now. Since that point in time of making sure Ive taken care of everything that they asked me to take care of, I have put it behind me to assure that it doesnt happen again and [Im] focused on what we have got to get done now.Asked whether he had to make a donation to charity as part of his team-imposed discipline, Edwards said, A part of what I was required to do was pay a fine.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said on Wednesday the Vikings notified the league of the discipline theyd administered to Edwards, and said the defensive coordinator would not be subject to discipline from the league.

He led the team in scoring last season, averaging nearly 20 points per game.I think any time you add a player of his caliber, everybody gets to do what theyre good at a little easier, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said.Theres a trickle-down effect. I think he gives guys confidence. It allows us to play small with more size and more force, he said.Hayward shot 6 of 17 from the field, including 2 of 8 on 3-pointers.I think, hopefully, we can be better than we were last year, he said.

When hes aggressive, were a different team. Like I told him going into the fourth quarter when Gordon and I were sitting down, he has to take over the game.Even though Gordons back, we need him to be aggressive and be another force on that offensive end, he said.TIP-INSJazz: Joe Johnson came off the bench for the first time since Dec. 9, 2003.

He knows exactly what hes doing out there in pick-and-rolls, where to get his shots, when to take the big shots. ... Maurice Ndour and Marshall Plumlee were inactive.ROSES ROLEPeople lead in different ways, Rose said. You have your leaders like Kobe (Bryant). Hes more personal, hes more intimate and in your face about it. You have leaders like myself and youve got Tim Duncan, where we lead by example by coming in every day, being consistent with our workouts and just showing people that were focused and were trying to get better. I lead by example.UP NEXTJazz: Visit Philadelphia on Monday.Knicks: Host Brooklyn on Wednesday. ' ' '
