WCVB deleted the tweet and eventually and tweeted the following apology just before 9:30 p.m. in response to one of the people who realized the mistake:
"A news service that provides WCVB some digital content accidentally posted a pic of Aaron Hernandez in connection w/Pats AFC champ win on our social media. It's embarrassing & unacceptable. We apologize & are working w/team to correct so something like this never happens again."

You're driving home and I saw my wife and she said, 'What happened?!' and I said, 'I know, it was just an accident in practice.' She said, 'What is going to happen?' I said, 'I don't know. We'll see how it goes.'" -- Tom Brady, with K&C, on the injury to his right hand
