Former NBC hockey analyst and former Chicago Blackhawks forward Jeremy Roenick has belatedly apologized for a remark he made about a threesome with co-worker Kathryn Tappen on a podcast back in December.

“I want to take this opportunity to apologize to NBC Sports, Kathryn Tappen, Patrick Sharp, Anson Carter for some insensitive comments that I made on a recent podcast,” Roenick said on Saturday in a video posted on his Twitter account. “I never meant to offend anyone and I definitely want too far and for that I deeply regret it.”
