"Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe spoke with reporters after Thursday's practice and addressed his latest brush with negative attention. Bowe was quoted in the May 21 issue of ESPN the Magazine describing a practice in 2007 of veteran Chiefs players flying in women to be with the players during a trip to San Diego.

Here's a transcript of Bowe's comments, in which he said several times that the magazine misquoted him.

Note: The Pitch reported Thursday that ESPN the Magazine possesses a tape of Bowe's comments.

Can you address your comments to the magazine?

"I'm going to say it one time and one time only: I apologize to the organization, the team, those guys who I put in a bind. My words was misunderstood and baseless and were said without malice.

"Everybody who knows Dwayne Bowe knows my personality, knows I'm a jokester, knows I like to have fun and stuff like that. Now, it taught me I got to take things serious and think before you talk because words can get you in trouble.

"I'm all about football now. That's over. That chapter is closed. I'm doing great in football right now, and that's all I'm looking forward to.""
