Luis Suarez's 'apology' for the biting incident is actually a hilarious denial

Disgraced Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez has formally apologized to Giorgio Chiellini for biting him on the shoulder during their group stage match in the World Cup — sort of, anyway.

In other words, Suarez is still clinging to the "his shoulder ran into my slavering maw" defense.
