the pressure on the nfl was getting tense. in 2011 the question was asked of the commissioner is there a connection between football and brain damage and by this time there was a number of stories about about the connection and the commissioner did what he did repeatedly and still does which is fob off the question and say we will let the medical people decide that and the representative waxman was dismissive and derisive and i think a lot of medical people were too. because the question had been answered for them. to this day that seems to be the commissioner's answer of letting the medical people decide. for us our book was an opportunity to reflect back to the beginning of this issue which really began to percolate in the nfl in the early '90s in large part because of leigh and other folks. what the book represented ultimately was presenting what had been two decades of denial. sort of a two-prong front by the nfl in which they went after scientist raising the question about the relationship between football and brain damag

there is more of an uproar in the nfl. >> is there a search and seizure provision within the nfl? come o tom brady was advised not to give it over. it's not as if he said i'm obstructing justice. >> who the hell do these people think they are? >> exactly. >> by the way, to that point, that's why there's a collective bargaining agreement. in that collective bargaining agreement, perhaps no one pointed this out to mr. goodell, but he is required to make these decisions on discipline and punishment. he can't hand it off, the old expression you can't delegate responsibility. you can attempt authority. but the reality is he has to under the terms of that agreement, to make the decision. >> if he decides against brady right now, i really do think it will go to federal court. here's the other thing brady can point to. ray rice hey, ravens two suspensions? that was before the videotape came out and all that. bottom line for him was two game suspension. now, i don't know much about football but i can tell you two is better than four, right? >> especially tom brady and the amount he's going

what happened to the nfl? my commentary next. >> and nearly 50 massachusets commuters getting the shock of their life when their bus makes an unscheduled stop. we'll tell you what happened next, stay with us. lou: a few thoughts now braid's anxiety -- brady's anxiety wasted no time and words in slamming nfl punishment. wrote -- the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis, nfl has a well documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that are often overturned when neutral judges preside. ted wells defending his report. >> what drove the decision in this report was evidence. those conclusions were not influenced in anyway, shape or form by anyone at the league office. i think it is wrong to create size my independence just because you disagree with my findings. lou: putting aside the findings looking at independence, wells has a long association with the nfl, he represented nfl for years in concussion lawsuit. perhaps wells is not as independent as he and goodell would like to maintain, th

in a civil trial which is what the nfl has put him under in essence, the nfl only have to have what it feels is a preponderance of evidence. if they believe there is a preponderance of evidence, i think they will come down hard. charlie: here's what i hear you saying. he has so much to lose, tom does that if they are wrong, it is a terrible, terrible lifelong injustice to him. that is a risk they have to really think about. peter: that is a risk of they have to weigh in. if i were roger goodell and the executives, i would really push right now to be spending two or three hours with tom brady because i would want him to look at me and the face and hear from him about this. i am not so unsure it will not happen. but before i did that to a cornerstone of the game and i said in you are suspended, you are something, i would want to have him look me in the eye and tell me what he feels is justice and what he feels is correct. charlie: suppose at some point he does that and let's assume that whatever reason there is conclusion it was done and tom knew. what is the appropriate punishment? pete

what's happened to the nfl?y commentary next. >>> a few thoughts now as tom brady prepares the appeal of his suspension over deflategate. brady's agent, don yee, wasted no time or words in rejecting the wells report and slamming the nfl's punishment. he wrote quote, the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. the nfl has a well-documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that often are overturned when truly independent and neutral judges or arbitrators preside. ted wells today defended his report in a conference call. >> the decision in this report was one thing, it was the evidence. those conclusions were not influenced in any way, shape or form by anyone at the league office. i think it is wrong to criticize my independence just because you disagree with my findings. >> putting aside the findings and let's take a look at the independence. wells, in fact has a long association with the nfl. in fact he's represented the nfl for years in concussion lawsuits. perhaps wells isn't as indep

and how did this become a huge public health crisis and for us the nfl the pressure on the nfl was up considerably on this. in 2010, the commissioner was called before congress and just hammered home by the representative for basically raising the scum of the question was asked and the commissioner is there a connection between football and brain-damaged. by this time, there have been a number of stories out about the worry connection trying to raise the situation and the commissioner did what they had done repeatedly for a lot of them, the question had been answered and to this day this seems to be there position. this begin to percolate in the early '90s and so we wanted to take a look at this denial and ultimately what it represented for us is presenting this is a two-pronged front by the nfl in which they went after scientists who are raising the connection about brain damage that at the same time essentially taking over a medical journal. and this includes the message that percolated with them for years. you know i think that the book is taking an effort to do that. this includes

host: does the nfl have other subsidies as a corporation? will is nfl films and things.y get taxed as well? . all of the central organizations that generate independent income in the nfl either go to finance the cost of those entities or the cost of the central office, or they get redistributed to the owners of the teams. when they are redistributed to the owners the profits of the teams go up or net income goes up and they have to pay more corporate income tax. so there is no scam going on. host: indianapolis, indiana. curt is up next. caller: taxwise i'm not into concerned with. i know in our city the staeutte state has close to $750 million on the backs of the citizens for this stadium. how do you feel as an economist when we are subsidizing the team at the rate of $750 million and pay for improvements in the stadium, had computer systems break, roofs leak, questions of who owns property and where they own it. how does the league have the heavy hand across america and threaten to move if we don't put the money in? i don't worry about the tax. it appears that the reven

and the nfl should do next. lou: but we begin with an arms race in middle east, egypt, turkey, saudi arabia, right now weighing development of nuclear weapons. move comes as saudi arabia and its arab state allies are in a broadening conflict with iran across the region from syria to yemen. where the saudis proposed a five-day ceasefire to allow for delivery of humanitarian aid if the houthi rebels agree. iranians releasings maersk . let's start with situation right now. with the prospect of an arms race in the middle east, this is not -- this is not the intended consequence of any negotiation that the administration embarked up on know, what do you make of it. >> the saudis don't have to follow entrail with iran and develop a nuclear weapon program. they are rich enough, and influential enough to just buy a bomb. they know that teal we're about to strike with iran will result in iran having a bomb. they are firing a shot across the bough saying if you build a nuclear weapon we'll be driven to the same thing and

today nfl columnist gerald bell and mark daniels, he covers the patriots. he's on the phone because he's actually inside the event tonight, sitting there listening as tom brady goes up to that podium and we all hope and expect will address this issue. it's a sold-out crowd. it's 15 miles from boston. what's the mood there where you are? >> i would say right now we've got about 4,000 anxious fans. people would be excited either way to sea tom brady. but with the recent allegations and everything that's been going on people are a little nervous right now. it will certainly be interesting to see what tom brady has to say. i think it helps that he'll be talking with jim gray someone who he's very familiar with. >> and how do you expect this will gone down mark? obvious lis these questions he's getting are vetted, but they may choose to address this right off the top, right? this is his first opportunity to weigh in on an issue that everybody is watching. >> exactly. i mean i think it makes sense to get out in front of this now. this is kind of the perfect oppor

patriots fined $1 million and that's nfl record on team. the pats also lose their first round draft pick in 2,164th round pick in 2017. for playing with footballs clandestinely deflateed below regulation levels after official inspection. they can't fine that man. his net worth is estimated north of $100 million but taking games in a powerful statement. ray rice was suspend indefinitely after he got two game ban. 8-degree yann peterson also suspended indefinitely and later reinstateed. ben roethlisberger got sick games reduced to four. all of those incidents involved domestic violence accusations. new orleans saints were hit hard after bounty gate and michael vick suspended avenue the dog fighting convict. so how does brady's punishment stack up? >> it's hard to compare on the field with off the field but nonetheless cheating is cheating and he got caught. >> i wouldn't call it apples and oranges but off field incidents are different than on field incidents. cheating directly affects stuff on the field. character issues, behavior away from t

nfl.ll also be able to participate in training camp and preseason games. the nfl is also penalizing the patriots for violating rules and failure to comply with the subsequent investigation. the patriots will be fined $1 million and forfeit their first round 2016 draft pick. they will also be forced the forfeit their fifth round pick in 2017. joining me by phone is terrence moore, national columnist for sports on earth. terrence, this is pretty remarkable, because all of the people who were handicapping this were saying look maybe give them two games. some said on the outer edge, if they give them four games, tom brady and the new england patriots will then argue against that and then it will be reduced to two games. what do you think is going on here? is this going to be absolute? will it stand? or do you think the patriots will come back and try to appeal? >> i think there's good news here and there's bad news. the good news is they actually did something. and i am somewhat shocked that t

with that said does the nfl really want to keep -- does the nfl want this fight with tom brady?> i don't think they want it but i don't think they have a choice about whether or not they are going to keep fighting it. the thing that's so fascinating about this is that when you have a league like the nfl, as you said that doesn't have a moral high ground to stand on all they can do is defend the rules. and so they will continue to defend the rules, and even if that means going up against tom brady and the new england patriots in court. >> there are some who believe they'll split the hairs and reduce the suspension to two games. looks like tom brady has won here and the nfl has kept its integrity. >> that's what they did with ben roethlisberger when he was suspended. i mean the thing about it is the appeals process they can go to, that tom brady can say i disagree with this decision, is roger goodell making a decision about the ethics of roger goodell's decision they need an independent arbiter, but that would remove power from roger goodell. >> interesting. tom brady is set to re

major news from the nfl.ine brennan joins us on the phone right now, christine, give viewers perspective on this decision by the nfl. >> reporter: wolf incredibly significant and they've really use an old term thrown the book at him. we were thinking that would be the case. the nfl was not pleased on two fronts. one, the original of course cheating from the welsh report there had been this cheating and obviously as everyone knows, also the fact that the patriots and especially tom brady had not cooperated completely with the investigation. that also rankled the national football league and it is not a surprise at all it is four games. incred beforably significant. highest profile star in national football history to receive this kind of suspension but sends a message loud and clear from the national football league they won't tolerate cheating and lack of cooperation not only from brady but also the patriots. >> the conclusion of that report you know by the attorney who was retained by the nfl sort of said pr

i think the nfl, the punishment handed down by the nfl is going to be swift. i think it's going to come from the next two weeks or so. i do think tom brady will be suspended, if not multiple games, at least one game for this upcoming nfl season, because of deflategate. >> does he have to admit this at some point or play, i didn't do it, and still get punished? >> he's still going to get punished even if he plays the "i didn't do it" card or i had no idea what happened. >> he's been saying all along, i had no idea. >> he didn't participate in this investigation, didn't hand over his cell phone or e-mail records and that was his choice. but i think no matter what, no matter what card he plays -- >> so he didn't help with the evidence -- >> no. >> let me go to steven on that. how do you put it together? the question of guilt, the question of what role he played in the process of whether he was trying to exonerate himself or he didn't bother? basically doing a no low contender? >> he had his chance to be cooperative and he blew it. he also blew it with the nationa

the ball is in the nfl's court. if the nfl were to come out with harsh penalty or a suspension of up to eight games, half the season the most extreme case. if nfl comes back with something very harsh and brady wants to fight it under those circumstances he might be in a bind where he needs to produce more if he wants to get it rescinded. the other thing is tonight he will be expected to speak at salem state college here in massachusetts. the catch there is media has been told cameras, recorders, still photography, all of that will be off limits after the first ten minutes tonight. >> first ten minutes we get to see. we'll see what happens. chris chase is a writer with "usa today" sports site. thanks for joining us. >> the first time i can say my day is better than tom brady's. >> might be the only day. i don't have doubt about my son's integrity. this is frame gate from the beginning. robert kraft said while i respect independent process of the investigation and resources expected to reach the conclusion are incompr

he works for the nfl who suspended brady. that doesn't seem very fair and balanced. >> a lot of what the nfl does doesn't seem fair and balanced. i think it's really interesting what the nfl is saying about their values. they suspend tom brady for four games over this but ray rice who committed a serious domestic abuse defense only got two games. >> they eventually suspended him for the season. >> that's what it started with. if we look at the treatment of the player. tom brady has been out, speaking he's been smiling, he's still tom brady. >> in america, we believe innocent until proven guilty. i know that's in the court of law. the nfl plays by different rules, but should they? >> the evidence against him is pretty compelling. i think he should fess up hand over his communications. but he has nothing to gain from it. people are only going to question his legacy question his entire career. let's be honest look he doesn't play for four games. he has more time to be with his hot wife. who cares. it's a good deal for him. >> he

the nfl ordered brady to skip four games.year's number one pick. team owner robert kraft is backing brady's appeal. he said in a statement that the punishment quote, was based completely on circumstantial rather than hard or conclusive evidence. tom brady has our unconditional support. our belief in him has not waved. kraft said the team accepts any discipline from the league. >> sportscaster of showtime and fox jim gray is with us this morning. he interviewed brady last week a day after the nfl released its report on deflate-gate. we should mention showtime is the division of cbs. you say it was appropriate -- >> i don't know if there's appropriate punishment if there's no proof. probably no punishment because the impression has been left that something had gone wrong, fine the club. maybe a draft pick. spygate comes into it. portions of the past have to be considered. i understand all of that but to take down the reputation of stellar in the course of 15 years in the nfl and imply that they apply to him and impugn his integ

through the nfl draft. and then finally when they release it, hear about this stuff, probably, maybe, could be. the remarks in the boston harbor, this sort of thing. it's obvious they were trying to cover this thing up and still trying to cover this thing up. i tell you something, ed. this deserves everything the patriots have done. all four super bowls, deserve an asterisk. >> what about the text messages? doesn't that incriminate the quarterback here? >> absolutely. i mean, you go back to the text messages in october and it's clear as day to me that tom had the assistant equipment manager take out of the football to his liking and he's so adamant, those guys despise him to the point they make fun of him for doing so. this is not a one-time thing. something he's been doing for a long time. but all of that being said i just don't share the same vitriol that everybody else does. this is not that big of a deal. most of the balls deflated by average of a pound and a half. i'm not a quarterback but i don't thin

and now he's well on his way to nfl stardom... new philadelphia eagles' quarterback sam bradford was another player we saw selected first overall, as st. louis took him at the top of the 2010 draft. back in 2005, we followed him around for a day at putnam city north high school near oklahoma city... and during our visit, we heard nothing but great things about bradford from teachers and coaches alike david diefenderfer: everything he does he does well, and he does without any pretense. he goes to class, does his work, then goes to the field or the court or whatever and does a great job. while it was clear that football was his future... at the time, bradford was a star in three sports at p-c north: football, basketball, and golf sam bradford: football, i think my strength is the mental aspect, being able to take everything in, being pretty smart, know what to throw, when to throw when to run. basketball it would be my size and ability to shoot the three. i'm a pretty good shooter, so i can get a little mismatch, get a smaller guy

but the nfl, but the nfl has acted prior to certain allegations as these with or without precedence. there is precedent here for the nfl to make a ruling and a suspension if they want to. >> wait, respectfully, i have to go to the evidence because i read that 240 or so page report. here are just three texts that i want to show everybody. particularly those who haven't spent the time doing it. here is text number one from mcnally to jastremski. tom sucks, i'm going to make that next ball an fing balloon. he says, hey, i talked to him last night. he actually brought you up. and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. implication brady knows mcnally is being stressed because he has to deflate the balls. here's text number two. text number two says i can't wait to give you your needle this week, happy face. mcnally. f tom, make sure it is attached to the needle. watermelons are coming. meaning, they're going to be inflated. text number three says, i have a big needle for you this week. and then mcnally responds, better be surrounded by cash and new kicks meaning sneak

in an hour and a half nfl superstar tom brady will speak publicly for the first time since nfl investigators called him out. we did not see him, but his helicopter just arrived at salem state university in massachusetts. a stop planned before the new deflategate report was released. he did not say anything to awaiting reporters. we do not know what he might say, but his agent is firing back at that report. he calls it quote, a significant and terrible disappointment. and even says brady was set up, saying the league cooperated with the coach in perpetrating a sting operation. his scathing words come after the league's investigators said quote, it is more probable than not that tom brady was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities. there's a lot of circumstantial evidence here, but the report does not have a smoking gun. we do not know what to expect from brady tonight. and here's how he responded to the controversy on three different occasions after the story broke in january. >> some reports post-game last night, that the league is looking into that the patriots your team w

. >>> he is the nfl's glamour boy but according to an nfl investigation, it is more probable than not that he is a cheater, as well. the day, patriots quarterback tom brady learned his punishment. he has been suspended for first four games of the upcoming regular season. it is monday night and the big story on "action news" tonight is the the nfl meeting out deflate gate punishment for tom brady. "action news" reporter sharrie williams is live at the big board with details on brady's penalty and reaction from eagles fans, sharrie. >> reporter: jim, four time super bowl champion stands to lose two million-dollar in base salary for those four games, long with the penalty a one million-dollar fine for the new england patriots organization but perhaps the the biggest dagger of all, the loss of draft picks . the first round pick in 2016, taken away, the fourth round pick in 2017 also gone. >> wow wow. >> reporter: nfl hit tom brady hard. he will be on the sidelines first four games of the coming season as part of the penalty handed down by the league after an investigation into what is now

"outfront" now, nfl players. nine-year nfl veteran cory wire tim green and joining me on the phone ross tucker a former teammate of tom brady's, current host on siriusxm radio. ross, what is your reaction to this? are you surprised? do you think he did it and what do you think his reaction is tonight to four-game suspension and his team getting a record fine? >> i can tell you he is devastated. i don't think he expected this at all. he takes, you know his integrity very seriously. and so i think this is probably a crushing blow to him. he has played 14 years and no one at this point had ever really questioned him in this way. and now with the suspension like this this will go on his record forever. i mean even if it's reduced a little bit upon appeal whenever we have conversations about who the greatest quarterback is of all time there will be a large segment of the population that will bring up not only deflategate, but spygate prior to that. so there is always kind of an asterisk on some of the things that tom

the nfl doesn't pay taxes. >> they'll start paying taxes.dell makes millions of dollars of year. when the nfl honors the men and women in uniform, they have to pay for it. >> if you're considering them american taxpayers, which they are, the spending on the nfl -- i'm being clear so our audience knows what i'm talking about. the nfl is getting paid by the american taxpayer to advertise the national guard. >> i think that's insane. i think the nfl teams ought to be doing it as a matter of court. from a marketing perspective, it would be good that nfl teams were doing out of the goodness out of their hearts. >> i feel like that's it. pate yachl is something we like at the sporting events. we like the concept of it and feel it is pay for play patriot patriotism is -- you know what it going on there, right? >> you think it's a transparency. >> they have to recruit. i understand they need to advertise. >> right. i and i don't think -- >> we don't like hidden advertising in general. there's so much now that who is to blame? the the nfl teams goat

that's a quarter of the nfl schedule. the team itself is also facing substantial punishment tonight along with two patriots employees. this comes after a report commissioned by the nfl found team personnel probably intentionally deflated footballs and suggested that tom brady was at least generally aware. we get late details from nbc's peter alexander. >> reporter: for days it's been the most debated, discussed and edie sected topic if court. what punishment would the nfl hand down for reigning super bowl mvp tom brady. late this afternoon the league announced a four-game suspension for brady, citing substantial and credible evidence from an independent report that brady was at least generally aware that two patriots locker room attendants were deflating footballs. it also faults thore star for failing to cooperate with the investigation by not turning over e-mails or text messages. your actions as set forth in the report constitute conduct detrimental to the public confidence of the game of professional football said nfl

the whole ray rice issue was a microcosm of what's wrong with the nfl.y are completely disconnected from the consequences of this sport they are engaged in. they are socializing young men into a culture of violence. is it at all surprising that you see the kind of corollary social damage surrounding players that we see? not at all surprising. they are off on this 19th century trajectory. it is fundamentally out of touch with the rest of us. emily: your friend and podcast partner bill simmons called be commissioner of the nfl a liar. espn suspended him. was that the right decision? malcolm: it was totally the wrong decision. if a sports columnist in a podcast can't exercise free speech. calling him a liar is not like it came out of nowhere. one reasonable conclusion from the whole ray rice saga is that the commissioner of the nfl knew about the existence of the videotape and was lying about it. i'm not saying that is what he did but it's a reasonable conclusion. i thought that in the course of expressing their opinions, sports columnists are allowed to dr

he's appealing the punishment from the nfl today.patriots also lost draft picks, a first rounder next year and fourth round pick the following year. pats also fined $1 million. tonight team owner bob kraft says the punishment far exceeded any reasonable expectation. it was based completely on circumstantial, rather than hard or conclusive evidence. by the way, the nfl believe the pats deflated footballs before the afc championship game, as well. >>> phillies are sending cody asche down to aaa to learn to play left field, switching from third base to left field. he'll have to be there at least ten days and this clears the way to call up mike el franco to play third, maybe even by this weekend. tonight, cody asche after the game says he's going to do what's best for the phillies. >> going forward as an organization i think it's better for me to play left field, so i got to go do that. i will never stop believing that i'm a big league baseball player so 100% i think whatever challenge comes my way, i'll handle it fine and i'll be back i

that's obviously referring to the nfl offices. i want to take you back to the second to last part of that statement. he talks about a truly neutral arbitrator. the appeals process is set up. tom brady has three days to appeal. roger goodell, it's his officer -- his executive vice president who levied this punishment, there's a procedure in place for roger goodell if he wants to to designate someone outside the league. and as tom brady's agent points out, when they have picked someone outside the nfl in the past those decisions have in fact been reduced or overturned. not so much when they pick someone in the nfl, it's fully up to roger goodell, it's at his discretion who he appeals. as for the patriots themselves robert craft has come out a few days ago, saying they don't plan too appeal. this million dollar fine the largest ever leveeied against the team. >> i want to bring in sports columnist of weei.com and drew rosenhaus. as an agent, what's your reaction? do you think it's fair? is missing four games without pay enough? >> i

the star quarterback suspended as the nfl cops down hard on deflategate. bob costas is here. >>> deadly tornadoes. a ferocious outbreak tearing across the country carving a path of destruction. 49 million americans on high alert. what's behind the extreme weather? >>> in cold blood. charges including capital murder for suspects accused of gunning down two police officers. >>> the bin laden raid. an explosive report accuses the u.s. government of not telling the truth about what happened. tonight the white house hits back hard. >>> and getting personal. michelle obama like we have rarely heard her before. deeply candid about race and the private pain she's endured. "nightly news" begins right now. >>> good evening. the other shoe has just dropped in pro football's deflategate scandal. the nfl late today announcing super bowl-winning new england patriots quarterback tom brady will be suspended for four games. >> reporter: for days it's been the most debated, discussed and dissected topic if court. what punishment would the nfl hand down for reigning super bo

and the nfl can't let that stand. if they did, then every other investigation, teams would say we're not going to take the chance that we'll get busted. we'll go hide this witness. pe just won't produce him. the nfl could not let that stand. that's why it was so bad in this case. >> coverup at least as bad here as the crime. greg and jordan thank you so much. >>> we have a lot more ahead including more are on deflategate. we'll look at the pr aspect of all this. what does it mean for brady and the path's image. and plus big political names right here in the cycle oig. ar ari sits down with mike lee who is at the center of a new fight over the patriot act. and abby goes one-on-one with kelly paul, wife of rand paul. and progressives unveil their own agenda pushed by a familiar face. we have sports politics and what is cycling now overseas. all covered as we roll on. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm...

the nfl ordered brady to skip four games.mber one pick. team owner robert kraft is backing brady's appeal saying in part, it was based completely on circumstantial rather than hard or conclusive evidence. tom brady has our unconditional support. our belief in his has not wavered. >> this morning -- we should mention showtime is a division of cbs. good to see you jim. >> good morning. you. >> say brady was overpunished. what do you think would have been the appropriate punishment? >> well based on that report there was no proof and nothing conclusive found. so i don't know what the appropriate punishment is when there's no proof. probably no punishment or if you want to fine the club because the impression has been left that something has gone wrong, fine the club maybe a draft pick. they're a repeat offender spygate comes into this positions of the past has to be considered. to take down the reputation of somebody who has been nothing but stellar over the course of 15 years in the nfl and apply what they've applied to him and

you don't see that in the modern day nfl. it's so special. yet when the history of this era of the nfl is written, it's going to be right there no matter what now. spy-gate was already guaranteed there would be some taint on it. now this, having this on the record, the whole investigation, the way the super bowl was overshadowed a few months ago on this, when you look back on this era, there are going to be a lot of people. i'm a new england patriot fan. it crushes me to say this. most sports fans, most sports historians who look back at it will say about the new england patriots, wow, amazing achievement, how did that put that together? that was fantastic, but there was this cloud, too. you can certainly make the case that when it comes to taking a little air out of the footballs, as i said the analogy that's been made to me, resonates with me, think about a stick in hockey. there's rules about how much they can bend the stick. they do it a little more, they get thrown in the box for two minutes. it's a minor penalty. in my heart i think tha

yes, he does work for the nfl now. but i don't think that he would compromise his own integrity. >> although he did get beat up a little bit with one of the earlier domestic abuse scandals. people came at him for a bit in what he was doing in that respect. but i hear you. i know he's got a great reputation and he's the right person to put this on. christine, what does this mean for the league now in terms of what it does with these types of infractions? because, yes, coy's right and everybody else pushing ethics in the situation. a rule is a rule. but rules are enforced different ways. your toe is on the line that's five yards, grab me by the face mask and throw me to the ground it's 15. many will argue this was not this serious of an infraction. but what do you see that makes you like it? >> i like the fact that the nfl has a get tough policy chris. i think that the bottom line is if you are thinking of cheating and you're an nfl player you're going to think again. if anyone else is pulling any fast ones they're not g
