that, it was awesome. >> reporter: should we open up a special investigation? >> tobogganing is about to happen. >> deep knee bends. >> oh, baby. >> one, two, three. ♪ >> whether it is hollywood, wall street or sports, this is it. >> and we went out in style. >> and you to love the bob van dillen jersey accent. you lightweights. >> how did i not get to do that? i am coming after the show, and we are going to be tobogganing, don. >> okay. let's do it. >> well come for the all of you joining us. i'm the poppy harlow with don lemon with a great assignment in times square. >> yes, it is super bowl weekend

here in new york city, and it is arriving, poppy. >> and in a few hours the game will kick off outdoors in a place where the winter can be pretty, pretty tough, but it is going to be warmer than we expected. >> yes, and fingers cross canned that it is not 100% scientific, but the forecast for the kickoff tomorrow in east rutherford, new jersey, calls for the little wind, but the fans have to bundle up anyway, poppy, even though it is not the deep freeze we thought. >> and you are out there in east rutherford, new jerseyb a, and security is high and visible and intense, and i have seen so many police officers yesterday, in times square, on all of the commuter lines, and in the train station, and you have the picture. city officials are committed to make shure that super bowl xlvii is safe for everybody. that is the security side, a

then the fun side that don lemon is having with all of the fans. >> hey, but you know what, you have to check out -- there it s. check out the skills. >> check out the skills. >> this way? all right. i want to go this way. are you ready? >> yes, you want to go deeper or how far? >> pretty good. not exactly sure i would have caught it. i'm not exactly sure i would have caught it, but you are the picture of athleticism down there, don. and you have all of the fans packed this times square even though no local teams are in the game tomorrow night, they are excited because the spirit of the super bowl is alive and well this the city as well. >> yes, you are absolutely right. and let's talk about the security, poppy. security for super bowl, and tens of thousands of fans and the eyes of the world on metlife stadium in east rutherford, new jersey, of course, and that means plenty of security, and the kind that you can see and

the kind that you can't see. alexandra steele got an inside look. >> reporter: patroling the air space around new york city, it is expected that 180 million fans will have their eyes on the field while u.s. customs and border customs agents will take over the skies above it. we took a ride on one of three blackhawk helicopters that will form part of super bowl xlviii's defensive line, and a ten-mile perimeter the no-fly zone, and if if anybody breaches that perimeter for any reason, they should expect to see a blackhawk up close. >> it is a scary experience if you are up there flying and say you unintentionally breach the perimeter. >> exactly. unless you have been trained in the mill tashgs it --military, means that you have not flown in formation with a aircraft.

>> reporter: in case of an intruder a blackhawk would be the first to intercept flying alongside the of fend iing aircraft and escorting it to the ground where federal agents will be waiting. >> they will be waiting for a large aircraft like this to come up very close to them, and then secondly, they will come to the realization that something is wrong. >> on our tour, we got our own surprise, although, this was a welcomed one. a fleet of military helicopters appearing in the distance and then heading for metlife stadium where the military will hold ceremonial super bowl duties sunday. an exception to the no-fly rule, and a stun thing one. alexandra field, cnn, new york. >> thank you, very much, alexandra field. they want to make sure that everybody is safe. you guys feel safe? >> yes! >> where are you from? >> new york. >> where you from? >> new york.

>> where you from? >> new york, baby! >> poppy, they are excited. we are excited, and we are so glad that you guys are here, and who is going to win? >> california. >> nebraska. >> and there you go, poppy harlow, the denver -- seahawks, somebody has to be a winner. >> i love the energy and no matter who wins, people are enjoying the big apple to the fullest, and if you are watching us in new york city, bundle up, and get out there to join don, because we want to see you on air, and sit is a great time, don. thank you is much. the weather here in new york is pretty good and not that bad for the big game, but there are weather challenges across the country for the folks in the midwest right now, and specif specifically chicago where the snow has been coming down all day long, and with e will go to meteorologist jennifer gray joining us from the cnn weather center in atlanta. how is it looking this there, jennifer? >> well, poppy, chicago is seeing the third snowest winter

on record. and the snow is continuing the come down. we will see 4, 6, maybe 8 inches of snow by the time that the system moves through later in the afternoon. the snow is clear in chicago, and the high pressure moves in, and just in time for kickoff on super bowl sunday, looking good and staying dry in the northeast, and the temperatures are going to moderate as well. look at the snow totals, and 4 to 8 inches in the chicago area, and 4 to 6 around detroit, and 2 to 4 and in the great lakes area, you will see a bit, and the chicago forecast does not look great as we look through the next couple of days. the lows tonight, zero. only up to 20 degrees tomorrow, and then monday afternoon n the teens. so winter is far from over near chicago. poppy? >> yeah. no kidding, and being a minnesota native the, i know it all too well. thank you, jennifer. >> and listen to this, a florida chemist is accuse kuzed of tampering with with evidence and now 2,600 cases may have to be

reopened with when investigators found painkiller pills were missing from the crime locker. they say that suspect is not working, and not clear whether or not that is tem theporary. and holly hughes is joining us now. thank you for coming in. >> sure, poppy. and don lemon is having way too much fun out there. >> and how did he get that assignment, guys? management? >> yes, we are inside. >> and all good things come to those who wait. and don is having a great time, and i will enjoy him after the game, but when you talk about this, the magnitude of 2,600 cases, that this chemist was in one shape or form involved with in the state of florida in all different counties, how do you begin to investigate this? do you bring in somebody from the outside, an independent party? >> well, what they are doing is to policing themselves essentially, because it was not the entire lab that was accused

of being the problem. it was this one specific chemist. and when you talk about that huge number of 2,600 cases tashgs they are not all suspect, because some of those were pleas, and when you enter into a plea agreement with the state, you are waiving your right to a trial, and you are waiving your right to an appeal. so, not all of those will be called into question. >> do you think that they are going to have to bring in somebody from the outside, and in terms of knowing if if one of these might be one of your cases, how do you find that out? when and how are you notified in a situation like this? >> well, in any case, it involves drugs, they are tested in the lab, and then the lab report must be turned over to the defense attorney. so every defense attorney will have a lab report with the name on it. and they will know if this chemist who is now suspected of

tampering with evidence had hands on their evidence. and they are the with ones who will go back and say, based on this, we want to have a do-over. >> but don't you think that everyone who was found guilty would want to do-over, and talk about the complexity of the process? >> well, a couple of the things that the court will look at, and if it is found that there was tampering, and that is a high standard, because how do you prove that, because each individual sample might not have been replaced, and what he was doing was taking the real drugs and replacing them with over the counter which would be helpful to some defendants. i mean, if you test it, and it comes back as nyquil, who cares. that is not illegal. but what you are looking at is anybody whose evidence was tested by him, and they are going to want to challenge that and have it retested if the

sample was not used up. and when they make that appeal, the court is going to look at what we call error, and is it harmless error? was there so much overwhelming evidence to prove guilt that this lab test was not the only thing that proved it. so they may look at your case and say, yeah, there was error, but it was harmless, and in light of all of the other evidence, and you do not get a do-over. >> well, we will see, holly hughes, and appreciate the legal insight, and what we know ahead is reams and reams of paper, and court filings and a lot of busy lawyers for sure. appreciate it. and now from super bowl boulevard, don lemon, what have you got down there? is. >> well, let's talk about the super bowl ads, because that is what people are gog to be talk about. they have millions to pay for them for a few seconds of time. it is worth the money? we will talk about that coming up.

come on, admit it. you can admit that some of you watch the super bowl for the ads as much as the game. so when you and your frnds get together after the game, you will talk about the ads and the ones that work and the ones that didn didn't, but you won't be thinking about how much the ads cost and whether the mega price will lead to sales. christine romans is covering it for you. >> reporter: it could be the most expensive 30 seconds in sports and maybe all of business. super bowl ads sold out for weeks and some of them hitting $4.5 million for a 30-second super bowl, but a that is what is priceless is the number of eyeballs. more than 1 million viewers have tuned in and compare it to 40 million for the oscars and 28 million for the grammys and 15 million for the world series. >> the super bowl is one of the few television shows are where

you get a lot of reach. you will get people from all different walks of life and preferences watching it. >> reporter: but the millions of viewers, are they worth millions of dollars for a few precious seconds? market research firm communeikus says only 1 in 5 motivates people to buy anything. but sales are not the only goals for advertisers. >> it is also kind of a great sort of badge to have. you know, we were in the super bowl last year, and that is how big our brand is, and a lot of the advertising is about self-congratulation as well. >> reporter: 43 advertisers bought ads this year ranging from the standard 30-second spot to 2:00, and some of the big spender spenders are anheuser-busch, and butter finger, and go daddy and dannon and pistachios and also

anheuser-busch jumping back in this year as well as gm. they give hype and give fans a head's up of what to look for. and much of it through the social pedia which gives a buzz and worth a lot more than one spot on tv. >> don't you think that it is time the we all get our own places? >> and star players with millions of dollars on the line, and an audience that likes to play favorites. christine romans, cnn. >> and the social media aspect is big business this year. and survey from this week from crowd tap shows that two-thirds of the social media users plan to share super bowl ads and the companies are creative online, and bud light and volkswagen are buying ads on google to promote the teaser ads, and that is interesting. another way the hype the super bowl ad is bring in this guy. >> look, look, look!

we are out here on super bowl boulevard and you can't throw a football without hitting an nfl legend and those stars don't come bigger than joe montana and i sat down with the three-time super bowl mvp and four-time winner to the talk about the big game, and joe told me why he does not wear his rings and why he made a cameo in the commercial with peyton manning in hon nor of the company's 30th anniversary. >> well, it is their 30th anniversary and they decided to go back in time where it began with papa john and peyton and so as they are getting back to reminisce, they have to realize to get back with the super bowl, and with an issue with the keys, and they get it settled and then they are back and when they land, they have a stowaway. >> and come on, peyton, we have to get back to super bowl xlviii because we are giving away pizzas. >> somebody got the keys? >> okay. touchdown. >> and when you order now through super bowl sunday and

back then. >> and sir, it is indeed an hon thor the meet you. you are awesome. and thank you, joe montana, a living legend. >> and now a punter who made his name on a super bowl winning team stopped by to give me some kicking lessons coming up in 25 minutes. we will send it back down to poppy in the studio. >> well, i was down there when you were taping with joe montana yesterday, don. and very cool to meet him, and to have it on. i am looking forward to commercials in the super bowl, absolutely. straight ahead here in the newsroom on a more serious note, he'll now face a possible death penl ti when he stands trial for the boston marathon bombing. we will take a look at the life of joe dzhokar tsarnaev.

they could get up to eight inches alone and it was the third snowiest january in chicago's history. and the former mayor of chicago richard daley is in intensive care tonight in a chicago hospital, and the spokesman says that he came back from a trip and he became ill. no word yet on his condition. he is 71, and chicago's longest serving mayor with six terms. and now for this next story that we must warn you that system of the images that we are going the show you are difficult to look at tonight. it is in indonesia, and recovery operations are under way for people feared dead in a massive volcano eruption, mt. sinabung is on the opposite side of indonesia, and the eruption sent people run ing fning for their . at least 14 people are killed, but authorities say that death toll will go much higher.

for more on that and the survival go the cnn.com, because it is the top story there right now. >> and this, heinous, and cruel and depraved a and this is how t the federal prosecutors described the actions of accused marathon bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev, and now the feds can seek the death penalty for him in the upcoming trial. but who is he? one man who does know about him is a "boston globe" reporter who has an in depth look of the family, and his book is kaultd "the fall of the house of the tsarnaev" and he sat down with him, and asked if we know more now about this bombing suspect now that he is in jail. >> well, there has been very little information from within the prison, right? he is in a solitary a ats fear, and the one time we saw him was in the indictment where his demeanor seemed to people that

there is a -- i don't want to insolence or a lack of regard for where he finds himself, like this is not serious. you don't want to read too much into the expressions and the demeanor, but a lot of people were struck by that. >> and what about the accent, because it changed, didn't it? >> yes, there is video of him talking, and he is fluent in english, and talks like an american, and maybe slight lilt there of a person who grew up in a different country, but most of his life was spent in the united states, and then he has this strong russian accent, and it is a strange affectation to put on. his older brother had a strong russian accent, but both of them are fluid in english. >> reporter: what was the driving factor the ffor these t brothers to roll out this

terrible attack? >> well, tamerlan, the older brother, and they are half chechen, and in chechen society, he is an enforcer type, and he obviously bullied the younger brother into this thing, but with we discovered that he is a shockingly different story. dzhokhar is a leader among his friends. according to very close friens,s he makes more money than anybody else in the family. he has made hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he has a weapon. and he is the one, allegedly who downloads the how to build a bomb on to his computer. >> what was the relationship we teen the brother sths. >> well, the people who talk about it, they tell that story that led to that narrative that we had of tamerlan, the guy in charge, and he would, you know, go, you know, tamerlan with was a boxer and good boxer for a while, and he had dreams of

being on the american olympic team, and by the way, one of the things that happened to him as the time goes on the american dream is falling apart, and he does not get a u.s. passport and realizes he is not going to be on the olympic team, and he stops training, and when they used to go together, he would sort of encourage, and sort of like push dzhokhar into the train thing, and dzhokhar is not really into the sport. he was a wrestler when he was a kid, but there is the kind of the older brother, and this narrative that he is kind of the bully comes out of there, but that is not the relationship that seems to be be unfolding once you get beyond this moment when, you know, we are not, we are not in on what they are doing, and when exactly they made this plan, but the story that comes up with friends is nothing like that. >> and what would you say is the most revealing information that you learned from all of this ree search? >> that there is not a terrorist cell in boston churning out more tsarnaevs that we have to worry

about blowing up the next marathon. >> with that, let's switch gears to sochi, because you are headed there, and how worried are you about the security? >> well, who wants to prevent this from being a disaster more than the russian, because they want it to be the showcase of russia, and we can do the best and the biggest and the safest olympics anywhere. and in london, had people blown them up in terrorist attacks there, sure. but, i mean, yeah, i definitely believe that the russians are doing everything that they can, and the problem is more logistical, and the russians have brought together a bunch of different security agencies and their version of the fbi and the police and trying to communicate with each other that don't often work together, and there can be communication breakdowns, and in fact, when they were looking for the suspected suicide bombers the black widows and the alluring sounding name of the widows of the militants who had been killed, one of the people

put up on the wanted posters around sochi is that they were found in one place of somebody who had been killed three days ago and so they are looking in one place that somebody was dead, so that is not a good sig sign. >> and thank you for that interview with david filipov. and bridgegate is far from over for chris christie, and now a close ally of the governor may have evidence against him. we don't know what the evidence is, and we will discuss it with ben ferguson and lamont hill will join us live next to discuss this. orbiting the moon in 1971.

we are following the latest developments this hour involving the governor chris christie, and he should be glowing this the spotlight because the super bowl is taking place in his home state this weekend, but instead, he is on the defensive fielding new claims of a former ally and long-time friend. a lawyer for david wildstein says he has evidence that contradicts what christie said he knew about the shutdown of

the lanes lead ing ing to the g washington bridge. those lanes in new jersey are a main artery between new york and new jersey and that september shutdown was al lenledly, allegedly political payback for the mayor or the not supporting him. now, christie has fired a top aide over that shutdown and he has insisted that he knew nothing about it. let e let's talk about this with two political commentators and two cnn contributors ben ferguson on the right, and mark lamont hill joining us from philadelphia who sees things from the left. good to see both of you, and we appreciate it. mark, let me start with you, because this is coming this the letter that i have here from the attorney representing david wildstein, and in it, it is a long letter asking for the port authority to pay for the legal fees and other things, but there is a part in it where he says that they have evidence that involves chris christie, and that he knew something about the shutdowns, and not that chris

christie found out about them afterwards from the press like he has said publicly, and like his campaign and his team came out and said today in their statement where they said that as the governor said, he only first learned lanes were closed when it was reported by the press. why not reveal the evidence? if you say that you have the evidence, and why not put it right out there? >> well, it is an eyebrow rai raiser. maybe it is because there is nothing to it, which is i'm certain that the christie administration would want us to think, but also some dramatic entry into the 15-minutes of fame and he is milking it for all he can get from it, but the bigger point is that we can't overestimate what is in the information. assume that everything that we see is true, but it does not mean that governor christie organized the conspiracy or that governor christie was acting out some act of political vengeance, but it could mean that he did not tell us the whole truth of

when he found out, but that is enough to sink a presidential candidacy and probably enough to have your position as governor to be unsettled and compromised because you did not tell the whole truth. >> and that is an important point, because we cannot say it enough that we don't know what the purported evidence is, and until we do, no assumptions can be made, and ben, i feel like you and marc agree, and that is rare -- >> well, he is right for once. >> yes. and when you look at where this is coming from. >> well, you have to take it a huge grain of salt. this is a guy who pleads the fifth, and he says i will not talk when he is asked under oath to talk about what happened with the lane closures, and so i automatically say, you won't tell the authorities what you knew when you knew it, but now you want to use a lawyer to come out the make the claims? and now the other thing is that at the same time that the lawyer is talking to press, he says that we will tell the you everything if we we get immunity out of the deal, so i have no reason to believe -- >> well, they can subpoena it. >> and the fact is that he is basically a guy going, you know what?

i'm going down and if i can hurt the governor, i'm going to do it, and i want immunity if i tell you everything, and oh, by the way,ly plead the fifth when you ask real questions about the lane closures, so i don't buy into more being here at all. >> and with the governor for a long time, knowing him -- >> go ahead, marc. >> well, do not assume that somebody because they want immunity they are not offering the truth. it is equally plausible that governor christie was up to it up to his waist, and this guy is a rat trying to get out of the trap to tell the truth. >> or maybe it is a guy that went off of the reservation, and he went out there and actually decided to do something stupid and the governor didn't know about it, and now he is in a bad situation asking for immunity and pleading the fifth. why would i trust that gi? >> well, this is the part for you, ben -- >> and i am going to say that the bad part for ben or for the

conservatives and certainly governor christie is that drawing out all of the scenarios and the implausible possibilities and as long as we are talking about that, we are not talking about what christie wants which is how he could be president. >> and could be and should be, and let's talk about what is. governor christie is in the spotlight and he had a long press conference and answered all kinds of questions about this, and does he feed to come out again now? we have the statements from the team, and does he need to come out publicly now? >> no, he does not need to do that, but a he has already done it. he did the right thing by saying, all right, media, i'm here, and i will stay here as long as you want me to stay here, and i will answer every ridiculous or serious question, and repeated question, but i don't think that there is any new information and all you have is a disgruntled employee who is angry at this point with no new information. >> and to your point, marc, you think that he should come out, but why should he come out the talk before anybody has any idea

what this purported evidence is? why get in front of it? >> well, i am not saying that he should come out before the evidence comes out, but once the evidence comes out, he needs to respond it. and ben, you were having a good d day today and saying so many things that are correct today. >> thank you. i'm glad that we agree on that today. i'm being brilliant. >> and yes, until now. because now you are going back into the normalville, because you are saying that chris christie, if there is evidence that regardless of the press conference he should remain silent. that is going to make him look like a liar. >> well, why have a press conference if he has information and what would he say, this guy says we know something, but we may not know something, and so i am going to talk about nothing and i'm the governor of the new jersey and having a great time at the super bowl -- what would you do there? >> well, at some point, governor christie does have to respond and he can't do it through the staffers or the press releases, but the same way he came out and talk, and he needs to come tout respond. >> and you know what, we will

know a lot more monday, because we are hearing that is the earliest when we will see what the evidence could be, and then, i think that we will probably would hear from the governor if there is something to address considering how he reacted the last time, and coming to have the long press conference, and we will see, because ben is excited, because he is going to super bowl and has incredible tickets. and we will talk about that -- >> and they better hope that the broncos better hope that they are not routing for him, because he is not very good for routing for the right team. >> and thank you, gentlemen, and thank you for the insight on this as always, and heading back to super bowl boulevard, and d.l.? >> that is the real matchup there, and you know what i deal with trying to corral ben and marc. and you know, poppy, the difference of winning and losing a championship could come down to the single kick, and i got some tips from steve weatherford, and wait until you

see my kick. that is coming up next. who are you? who are you? wrong answer. wait, daddy, this is blair, he booked this room with priceline express deals and saved a ton. yeah, i didn't have to bid i got everything i wanted. oh good i always do. oh good he seemed nice. express deals. priceline savings without the bidding.

so if you are going to kick a field goal, you need to learn the best. and i also learned that if you don't have the right equipment, get rid of it. you recognize this guy? the punter of the new york giants. and this is actually mine.

>> well, for the day, you just got a lot more handsome. >> i know that a lot of more people will want to date me, because of that. and show me how to do this, because i am going to be in competition this week and i want to be as good as you are. >> okay. we will need more than a few days to do that and maybe a few years. but this is the crash course so make it happen. >> okay. >> i will prop up the ball, and take three steps back and two steps to the side. and stand behind the ball. >> stand behind the ball. >> okay. e three steps back, and two to the side. >> okay. one, two. >> so i want you to come straight at the ball, and pick an aiming point are where you want the ball to go, and lock the ankle, and make contact and bri swing through the ball. >> how much -- >> well, you want to be explosive, because this is the distance of an extra point, but you need to get the ball past

the uprights and higher than the uprights. >> all right. here we go. >> it is a place to start. >> i am wearing boots. i am wearing the boots. i tried! one more, one more. i did this with jennie finch, and she is girl, but she is a professional athlete, and it took her five kicks, so if you can get it inside of five, that is beating a star athlete. >> okay. the fourth time is a charm. fourth. okay. we are not stopping until i do this. oh! no shoes. >> seriously, the problem is the boot. i could feel the ball sliding on the boot. >> okay. we have to get him a nike contract to make him some leather socks. >> all right.

now, you do one. >> yeah! now, that is how it is done, and that is the reason for this thing right here. >> whoa! don't fumble it. very nice. you did good. >> and so, poppy, the problem is that i was wearing the snow boots and when i took it off, that is what happened. >> yes. >> and that is totally the problem and not your calling. stick to the anchor desk, my friend. >> poppy, you met someone who is a great kicker, didn't you? >> well, in is an amazing kid. he is a 14-year-old kicker born with no arms and wait until you see what isaac luftkin has achieved at a young age. his story is right after the break.

i am candy crowley. this is cnn. all right. well, a as with we start the super bowl weekend, we want to

salute one player who is truly make making his mark. he is not playing for the broncos or the seahawks at least not right now, but isaac luftkin is a remasrkable 14-year-old, ad you have to see it to believe it. >> reporter: there's a lot more to this kick. and a lot more to isaac luftkin than the winning field goals. >> i want to play in the nfl for the ravens or -- >> reporter: you want to keep wearing purple. >> yeah, purple. >> reporter: he is riding high from the undefeated season and the freshman football state title. he led the division in onside kick recovers this year. remarkable considering that this is what isaac goes through just to suit up. you don't want anybody's pity? >> no, i don't like pity. pity makes me weaker. >> reporter: you mean it? >> yes, i don't like people helping me, because i don't like

think people think i can do it. if i drop my backpack and somebody else picks it up, i don't like it, because if i don't do it, then somebody later won't. >> and when he puts on his football player, i am filled with pride, because he is my star. >> reporter: no doubt he has overcome an unimage ibl challenge of being born without arms to the perseverance born within. >> as soon as he walked in i pointed and said that you are the place kicker. >> reporter: and his talent was immediately shown to his head coach. >> i would not want to be the guy to tell him that he could not do something, put it that way. >> reporter: what does he do for the teammates? >> he gives them hope. i mean, you see a guy with no arms and strap up to put a helmet on and launch himself into a violent pile, and get up and smile. >> reporter: and he calls isaac's knack for accuracy a skill that is tough to teach. you want to do more than kick?

>> yes, i want to be a defensive lineman. >> reporter: hit people? >> yes, hit them. they can't grab my arms or jersey, and the only thing they can do is to block, and i can still crawl under them, and they can't sit on me, so they have to let me through. >> reporter: and his determination is clear from the beginning. this is isaac learning how to dress himself. >> and don't give up. there you go! very good. very good. >> there! >> reporter: here he is throwing the football as ae ed toddler ws shoulder. >> it was never easy for him, but he never gave up. >> reporter: is he disabled? >> no, he is not disabled at all. i don't look at him that way, and i always knew that the sky was the limit. >> reporter: and to isaac, he can do nearly anything on his own. and eggs sunny side up? no problem. high five. >> yeah. >> reporter: that is awesome.

>> and he is not always going to have somebody there to do it for him, so that was my greatest gift to him was to be independe independent. >> reporter: and he has learned how to do remarkable things with his feet. eating ice cream, playing the keyboard. and even playing video games. as a child, isaac mav gated the world with his toes, and now in high school, he has learned how to use his chin, shoulder and what he calls his stubs. there have been bullies. >> this one kid, he just wouldn't stop. he would whack me in the back of the head with books, and then knock me down, and take my sleeves and tie them around my thro throat. >> reporter: but football and the killer onside kick have brought a new sense of pride and acceptan acceptance. some say that you are like a secret weapon on the team, and is that true?

>> yes, because when i first dot the onside kick, i will run up to the guy, and he is going to have to block me, and i will fly backwards and the second time, i will juke it, and he will not expect to block me, so i will get him at the weakest point. >> and what have you done for the footwall team? >> well, now they can't be lazy, because no matter what they have no excuse not the show up to practice or run the ball or throw the ball or block, because if i can do it, they can do their own thing. >> reporter: and what is maybe even more astonishing, isaac is not the first armless kid at classical. exactly 50 years ago in 1963 chris shuman led the classical football team to the national championship title, and propertying president kennedy to send this letter. it has opened up the door for isaac to dream big. >> i want to go four years
