Here's why it wasn't a big deal - the timekeeper messed up and ran the clock to zero. When Belicheat ran on the field, the game was, arguably, over as far as he knew (as in :00). He didn't just say "F- the last play, I'm going on the field".

Now, he obviously knew at some point that the refs had put the clock back to :01. The classy move would have been to LEAD your team back to the sideline and let the game end. However, we all know Belicheat isn't classy. So, while it's not surprising, it's really not a big deal.
