starting to do things that need to be done, not just in the nfl but throughout u.s. pro sports leagues. that's the positive. there's a lot of negative. but i would say if he can really make these changes with desic violence and in the policy and lead the way for other sports leagues, there's a chance he could survive. >> the national organization of women calling for his resignation. players not backing him. the bombshell overnight that he may have known about the ray rice assault back in february. can he survive? >> it's a great question. a week ago, i thought yes, for sure. now, i'm not so sure. i think if it is proven that roger goodell lied, that he didn't tell the truth, that there was a coverup, i think he can't survive. and i also wonder about the leadership of the baltimore ravens. if they were involved in that. i think short of that, he may well survive. he serves at the pleasure of the owners. it would have to be the owners. not a politician. the owners would have to want to get rid of him. >> thank you, christine brennan. >> thank you. >> dan? >> thanks, paula. thanks, christine. now to the new tactics and
