7:03 am
welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning norah. >> good morning to you charlie. >> we begin with the nfl. first time miami dolphins players are talking about the bullying scandal rocking the football world. many players defending the veteran suspended after reportedly sending threatening messages to a mediumteammate. >> we hear from the father of the player that says he was the target. mark strassmann is at the practice facility. good morning. >> good morning norah and charlie and viewers in the west. the accounted attorney in this case has the power to follow the facts. his pointment is another sign of the black eye the bullying scandal has become for the nfl. >> nfl commissioner roger good el says tim wells has looked into the bullying allegations.
7:04 am
incognito sent threatening teks and voice mails that also contained racial slurs. >> if anything needs to be corrected we'll take all necessary measures to fix it to insure this doesn't happen again. >> there were more allegations of racism against incognito. nfl hall of famer sapp said it happened to him during a game. >> he's calling you the "n" word? >> yeah. he kicked me and called me weather. >> richie didn't use that kind of language. >> tannehill is the quarterback. he said incognito is not like that. >> he said he's like my little brother. he gave him a hard time and messed with him but he was the first to have his back. >> team officials would not address reports that dolphins coaches told incognito to
7:05 am
toughen you have martin. martin left the team and went to california to be with his family his father spoke with omg insider. >> he's a strong man. he's doing fine. >> sports illustrator says many around the league think martin mishandled the situation and now sees him as being soft. >> there's a culture when players have issues with other players, it's handled internally man to man. they feel this hurts the team and hurting the people who are involved. >> reporter: there's a new report that before martin left the team his agent called the dolphins general manager to complain about his bullying. the gm said he should stand up for himself and punch incognito. the dolphins had no comment zblmpt james brown is host of the nfl today on cbs sports.
7:06 am
good morning. let me begin with this. what's the significance of a special council and the significance of this leading trial lawyer ted wells? >> first of all, mr. wells, his track record and credentials are impeccable. it's an excellent move by the nfl to establish independent council to have complete free reign to investigate this so we will all have a complete establishment of what the the true facts thof situation is. as a matter of fact we know it's a multiple layered one. we haven't gotten to the core issue with a lot more still to come forward. a superb move. >> is this an isolated case? is nfl concerned bullying is much more wide pred and it wouldn't somebody like wells? >> that's a good question. i think in this particular case the reaction by the league is a proper one.
7:07 am
it's not my sense and i've got a good finger of what's going on around the league. this goes on to varying degrees but not crossing over like this case with particularly offensive language being used. i understand the locker room is not a chapel. nothing to this extreme. . this is one of the cases it's lard to get your hands around the facts. each day someone comes out in support of one idea or the other. you have veterans coming out saying about incognito it's not as if it seemed. he was supportive of this young player. at the other hand the young player clearly felt he was being intimidated. >> let me be clear as well. i need to be included in all of this and all of us exercise restraint until facts have come out. on one of the programs i was animated last night because i was asked my personal opinion. because there were black ballplayers that came in support of incognito and language he
7:08 am
used some how you that justified it. let me perfectly clear, the language about the young man and his mother by any stretch of the imagination is not to be condoned. it's shadowed because some players black balled that makes it right. language of that is not a standard. it's shadowed by black ballplayers and said it's the right thing to do. absolutely not. >> twitter is trading chirp for a bell. about 40 minutes ago the social media powerhouse rang in the start of the day at the new york stock exchange as twitter goes public. dow is up after opening another record high. that comes on news the economy grew by nearly 3% this summer faster than analysts expected.
7:09 am
twitter opening price appears above the estimated price. welcome. >> i'm tweeting here on the set. of course. >> you're addicted. >> some of us are. that's right. >> what might we expect today sn. >> i think the stock market is strong. the twitter folks have learn ed from the mistakes that the facebook ipo a year and a half ago. i look for this ipo, initial public offering to do well. stock will probably triedade up. >> twitter is barely marketable. why should we think there's a growth? >> if you're invested in the stock you're taking a flier. the company is not making money. they say they can. the company is growing in terms of number of users and revenues. ouf to believe they're going to figure out a way to make a lot
7:10 am
of money same way facebook has. we've seen sponsored tweets and that sort of thing. it's a bit of a flier. >> you and other people say it has the possibility of being bigger than facebook? in what context? >> in terms of number of users. right now you it's a lot smaller than facebook. 230 billion versus a billion plus for facebook. there's a lot of potential in terms of people using the service overseas. three quarters of number of people that use twitter are from outside the united states. >> twitter has 230 monthly users up 6 prsz from the last quarter. facebook was growing faster at this point in their growth. a lot of people say instagram is growing faster than twitter. again, why should we think twitter a hot property. not that it's good but how strong for potential growth? >> when you look to the ceo and
7:11 am
other people who are at the company, jack dorsey of course, the non executive chairman. they'll tell you privately and publicly as well to shareholders they have a lot of plans to make this service be a part of news gathering. to be a part of advertising campaigning for companies, to make it a part of social discourse, to make it part of what's going on in washington d.c. they have a lot of plans. you're absolutely rights they're not specific now. growth has slowed. if you look back quarter by quarter it's modulated gone and down. >> kinds of people that use it is growing. >> that's right. >> thanks a lot. major health news in the last few minutes. food and drug administration plans to ban transfat. they require the the agency to ban it. the move could prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths each year. no time line is announced.

7:13 am
texas who are going to have the security and the well being of high quality affordable health insurance. >> that guarantee came after another rough day for health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. >> access to healthcare.gov has miserably frustrating experience. i'm focused on fixing it. >> even democrats focused on a new website before month's end. >> it's a two way street. tell us what's going on fully. >> senate republicans siting months of ignored questions about potential problems and the possibility of insurance policy cancellations were more blunt. >> the only thing i can conclude is that it's impossible to do something in this administration is that gets you fired. >> democrat bill nelson demanded sebelius punish website

your judgment think edward snowden was a traitor. >> was a traitor. and because we have very special history, russian history, and where we have a very strong belief about loyalty if you're working in a position, especially there. then you don't go auto and steal all the secrets. >> so you would not have granted him asylum. >> i think, yes. my position never. >> for now he knows his political goals are a long shot. >> how dlong you think putin will stay in power? >> he's the most popular politician in russia by far. >> his basketball team looked more poised for a championship a feat that the consummate bachelor has a lot riding on. >> you have said if you don't win a championship in five years you will punish yourself and get married. >> it was a joke. >> so you're backing away from
