Belicheat was full of it... the rules were clear and no other coach in the league has been caught doing what he did. The league knows he broke the rules and has tried from Day one of the press coverage of the scandal to sweep it all under the rug because the Patriots are the NFL's (and sports media's) darlings.
The Broncos? When he realized he had a problem, Bowlen paid Elway and took his medicine (in the form of the loss of a 3rd down pick). If there was any whining or attempts at justification, I sure wasn't aware of them. From what I understood, it was just a mistake; one that was rectified in a timely manner.
