In a story now posted on ESPNBoston.com, Patriots owner Robert Kraft explained his appearance in an Internet video clip that first emerged late Tuesday evening before spreading rapidly Wednesday.

"I tried to help (actress) Ricki (Noel Lander) prepare an audition tape for an upcoming Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy by reading Wilson's lines," Kraft said in a statement from the team. "I never intended that it would be made public and I regret that it has. I think we can all agree that Owen Wilson has nothing to worry about. I am going to stick to my day job."
