thunderstorms south of oklahoma along i-35. we got this dry line. that's where that dry air gets sucked into this and makes it more potent. so for today, we are strong storms stretching from wichita to dallas. it goes into tonight. kansas city, wichita, oklahoma, million people wind gusts of 60 miles an hour. isolated tornadoes. friday we got an enhanced risk from central oklahoma oklahoma city included down to del rio, texas. this is very unusual. looking ahead to saturday. there is already a strong risk. we are looking at a major outbreak of tornadoes on saturday. 20 million people at risk. wend gusts of over 70 miles per hour. strong tornadoes, oklahoma city again in the midst of this it lasts into sunday. this is going to be a multi-day etrent that could cause major, major problems. not only does the damage with

the tornadoes, but with the rains, we could see massive flooding as well. so there is going to be a dangerous trap. >> i spent a lot of time with you this morning, al thanks, very much. meanwhile, deflate-gate is trending. a much anticipated report finding it is more probable than not that new england patriot staffer took air out of footballs and that tom brady knew something ability the practice. nbc national correspondent peter alexander has been on this since the start. >> three months later, we are still talking about this. no word from brady, but brady's dad came to his defense, zee saying it has spring gate not deflate get a. compare that to the ray rice report it was 96 pages the fallout and reaction squarely on the shoulders of new england's number 12. >> now he's going to be looked

at as a quarterback whose cheated. >> reporter: tom brady is in the nfl crosshair, the league must decide whether to suspend or defend the mvp. he spoke to me before the deflate gate broke. >> i felt i always played within the rules. i believe in fair play. i respect the league. >> reporter: but the independent report concludes it was more probable than not that brady was at least generally aware team personnel were deflating critical footballs. the wells report singles auto two long time members of the locker room staff. some of the evidence is a trail of text message, one calling himself the deflator. over the course of months there were complaints about a demanding brady, tom is acting crazy about balls, ready to vomit. heavy indication footballs were deflated in exchange for bribes.

i have a big needle for you this week. better be surrounded by cash and a big kick. >> in the long term i think people are still going to think of tom brady with the mvp of superbowls and america's quarterback. so while it seems like a big deal now, still we are talking about football and deflated footballs. >> reporter: missing from the report complete texts, according to report, he refused to turn over call texts or e-mail records to investigators. while brady was a no show in april, even the president joked about deflate gate. >> i tushl u usually tell a bunch of jokes, i was worried 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat. [ laughter ] >> reporter: this week brady has been his usual high profile self track side kentucky derby and ring side manny pacqio fight, same day. he also said this about deflate

gate if january. >> there isn't isis. this isn't, you know no one is dying. >> reporter: the rest of the patriots including coach bill belichick and other thaner robert kraft all cleared. when the story first broke, kraft demanded an apology for the league if it turned out no proof. he reiterated his disappointment and how the investigation was conducted but said the patriots will accept the report's findings and take the appropriate action. >> all right. thank you, peter. meantime we have peter king here he published "nfl football night in america." good morning to you. everyone is faulting the report for saying more likely than not using these wishy washy legal terms. but does the nfl have the evidence or not? >> it's a good question. i think page 23 equivocating terms in 139 page document i think one of the things that the nnl has to look at here is how

positive are they? because they are messing with the reputation of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. they have to be absolutely sure when they penalize him, when they sanction him, that they have the goosd on him. >> that's why they are in such a tricky position. they commissioned this report. this is the standard of proof for the leg to say if there is a violation is it more probable than not, how do you discipline him? >> right. i think if roger goodell and the executive vice president of the nfl find incontrovertible proof in their eyes that brady had something to do with it they will sanction him harshly. that will be the big question. because i don't think we know yet what roger good el thinks and he's the man holding the cards right now. >> i think there is more investigation to be done. isn't the report supposed to be the final word on it? >> it is supposed to be the final word. but you know the last time this happened when the new orleans

saints had a report done on them sean peyton the coach of the saints went into roger good el's office and basically threw himself on the mercy of the court. it didn't work again, that's why i'm not positive it's over right now. >> when you look at this generally, when you look at the past super bowl victory they went on to win, do you think it has a lot of bite for a lot of fans? >> for a lot of fans it will the patriots are like the yankees, the old cowboy they're a team that america loves to hate. i think that is one of the things that people take great delight in the kingpin getting toppled. that's why i think people take great delight this morning looking at tom brady saying hey, look he should get things coming to him. >> they look at it differently in boston. peter king good to have you. we are posing that question on today.com. should the patriots keep their 2015 super bowl title?

we'll way in later. >> about the two guys at the center talking about tom brady, one says talked to him last fight. he actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. >> i remember brady said he didn't even know who these guys were. >> but there were text messages. >> back and forth, meantime a connection between one of the gunmen who attacked that controversial draw mohammed event in texas and isis sympathizers is becoming clear this morning. nbc justice correspondent peter williams. what's the latest on this? >> reporter: good morning, today a congressional hearing hears about this alarming ride if direct terrorist recruiting through social media. it's the kind of thing the fbi says was behind the plot dealing with the prophet mohammed. in the wake of the plot by two phoenix men, isis sympathizers and recruiters suggest more is coming.

you ain't seen nothing yes. i smell something big coming soon says another. as investigators look for exactly what prompted the two gunmen to plan their attack they say simpson was deeply immersed in jihadist twitter accounts including some that explicitly called for attacking the texas event. two weeks before the texas gathering the fbi and homeland security warned it carried the risk of being targeted. federal officials say more than 5,000 people are following the radical twitter accounts that elton simpson did. how to tell which followers are truly dangerous? >> this is a very difficult task for law enforcement. there are a lot of people who say a lot of things on twitter and most of them don't carry out terror strikes. >> reporter: people who knew the other gunman nadir soofy said he showed no violence helping out

at a at a non-profit for the homeless. >> he's a really nice person. >> the fbi says this latest plot dramatically shows how powerful terror groups and isis exploit media to people receptive to the data. >> natalie now covering the medical story this morning. a surprising study with big implication, thousands premature birth found some babies are able to survive with few health problems. currently most medical experts consider 24 hour weeks as the age of viable. now many are considering reducing that. the journal of internal emedicine should help them decide. it could revise the abortion debate. attorney general lorretta lynch heads to capitol hill today to ask congress for $28

manage manganiello. she brushed off paparazzi asking about her battle with former fiance nick loeb. >> i forgive you for bumping into me though. >> reporter: in his "new york times" op-ed, loeb wrote, in my view it's tantamount to killing them. he wants to raise the children himself. one place she spoke about her ex is with howard stern who, of course went there. >> you guys break up and you say, look i don't want to have a baby with you, i'm not involved with you anymore. >> can you braham me? >> a child needs a matter. >> more than a mother needs a loving relationship of parents. you know that get along, that don't hate each other, that -- i mean i -- >> you hate each other now? >> i don't hate him, but obviously he has a problem with me. >> reporter: vergara breaking her silence on loeb.

after we signed the forms, we went through invitro, creating life putting it into a surrogate once and a surrogate a second time. we went through the process again to create new live then we went and my thought was we would do it again. there was no really thought of well now, she's going to change her mind now we're not going to do it. i always assumed with our agreement that we will take it to term. >> here's the perception sophia vergara, a beautiful actress, about to get married, starting a new life very successful. she doesn't want to have a child with her exe. you are perceived as the guy who cannot let go of a relationship. she wants to move on. >> i have tremendous respect for sophia. she is very successful. she is very smart. you know we filed this back in october. it had nothing to do with this at all. this has to do with doing moral, legal and ethical contests that are out there about lives we

have already created. it has nothing to do with anything else. >> now you said this in the "new york times" for as long as i can remember, i've dreamed of being a parent. okay i want to ask you a very very important question. do you want to have a baby or do you want to have her baby? >> it has nothing to do with her, her baby or a baby. lives were already created. we created. a lot of the question is why don't you move on and meet somebody else. no doubt i want to do that. these are two lives i wouldn't toss them aside than a child that had been born. >> you are 39-years-old let's pretend you find a girl tomorrow. you fall madly in love and say let's have a baby. is it possible this whole issue would go away if that were the case? >> absolutely not. it has nothing to do with one woman over another woman. this has to do with the two lives we created and exist that are two female embryos. >> so let's pretend, sophia

said okay joe manganiello and i, we want to take those embryos, we want to have those babies would you be okay in that? >> as long as i were involved in the parental process, no different than if we had children and i separated. we would have joint custody. they would spend time raising the child. no different than millions of americans out there today. >> nick a lot of people say the timing is so weird. the op-ed comes out at the time that sophia is promoting this movie, on the red carpet. doing all this stuff and boom it comes out. it looks like a publicity thing. you want press. >> unfortunately, i didn't come out with this story to begin with. it was leaked to the press. there were comments made. i felt i needed to come out and correct the record. i submitted the op-ed to the "new york times" a week before it even went out. i have no control when the "new york times" prints their op-eds. >> why did you sign this thing, i was looking through your

complaint. i found this interesting. it said there's talk of abuse here. for example you say she physically abused him of four separate occasions. she bunched on two occasion kicked him, threw her phone at his head andrew teenly bullied him, called him loser, and degrading names. you signed this form even they he did not agree with it in order to avoid further abuse. i got to tell you, i was reading this complaint for the first time last night. i read this part and said oh my god what was going on there? so what was going on? >> i really came here to talk about the embryos, the live wes are creating. i think sophia is a wonderful, wonderful woman. i don't want to sit here and talk about our personal issues we had in our relationship. i don't think that's fair to her. we are both going through a tough time with that. >> she said on howard stern, a child needs a loving relationship and parents that get along and don't hate each

other. she says she doesn't hate you. >> i don't hate her at all. you know there are 20 million single parents in this world and you know i think they're all working really hard to bring children. so i don't think there is anything wrong with being a single father, a single mother raising a child in america today. >> any financial motivation? i think people are going, why would he be doing there? like what's the deal? >> not only do i have financial motivation. i have offered her to waive all financial responsibilities. i'll financially pay to raise this child. put it in college i can give these children a wonderful life. these girls will be knowing a father fought so hard for them because he loves them so much. >> you can understand from a mother sophia's perspective, you wouldn't want children walking around, inevitably you will say who is their mom. oh it's the lady over there on television. does not not put her in a position she sort of has to agree in some sense.

>> i let it open to her. if she wants to be involved. if she doesn't want to be involved. either one is okay with me. i want these children to have the best lives possible. whatever makes everybody happier, but there is nothing i want to do more than bring these children to life for me. they're on a journey and a path way to being born. why go the other way? we are talking equal rights. ierer on the side of death? we should be erring on the side of life. >> so will is a court date or a hearing on the 22nd of may. so we'll hear more then? >> yes. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. guys back to you. >> that is fascinating and by the way this is one of those stories where it seems it will be hard for them to find compromise either or not. >> some judge's decision which is a difficult one to make. >> and set a precedent as well. >> hoda thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> let's get a check of weather from al roker.

watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. when we go to the store i find my box of honey bunches of oats, and i'm checking to see if i packaged it. he says "it has a certain code that's my line, this is the date." if the last 3 letters were p22, that's me.

interrupted," i recount what happened next and hope to offer some guidance to other families who face cancer. just four days earlier, i had been diagnosed with a blad cancer called multiple myeloma. i was keeping eight secret. i was determined to go on with life in full force. not knowing how unrealistic that would be. i get up i feel not to bad,ly go fishing, i will drive 150 miles across montana, meet some friends to fish. at a half hour into the day, i had to crawl out of the water into a nearby cabin porch and curled up in agonizing pain and i lay there until another friend came along and said my god, what's going on? a fishing buddy drove with me three hours back to our ranch. i was in bed two days

immobilized by pain. at that point meredith my wife had seen enough. she put in a could for the ets and a medevac flight to the mayo clinic. more than a thousand miles away. and i thought, where in the world is this going to ends up. by then we got down to the balance. i think i was kind of hallucinating. i don't think i was checked in at that point. >> i think you were in so much pain that it's hard to even recall for you what that was like i think. >> when the ets arrived to carry me out for that ride to the airport, my daughter sarah confronted her mother. >> and i said tell me right now, what's happening to dad? i need to know right now. she said well he has multiple myeloma. >> sarah thought immediately of archer. >> it was awful. especially because he was only six months. i was mad, too i thought you only had six months with him. i want to vision you playing

baseball with him and fly fishing and not knowing if that was ever going to happen. >> and that's good news is that i am in remission. the cancer is in what we call a check place. i'll be on a drug maintenance program the rest of my life. >> that is better than the alternative. >> will you take this the right way, there was a time a year ago, eight months ago you didn't look so good as good as you look today. >> it was a lot harder than i thought it was going to be. we tried to share a secret. i didn't want to end up tom brokaw cancer victim. >> you did keep it private. you told a few of us. you didn't share the story. what was the decision to share the story now? >> well the decision was i to the i could be helpful to other families. this is a book not just about tol brokaw having cancer. it's really about what i learned and what families needs to know when cancer invades their family. because it is an invasion. there is a great line about cancer it doesn't care if you are a mother, a father or

children it declares war on your body. the whole family gets involved and it's important that cancer patients help manage their own cases and i describe how they can do that being honest with your doctor there are a lot of sites now, you can go to the mayo clinic dana car ver, sloan kettering to find out more about the cancer you have. >> so happy to see you doing so good. >> i am doing better thank you. >> you will see more tonight on dateline 10:00, 9:00 central. up next a conspiracy do kids care more about the grades or learning. first, this is "today" on nbc.

we're back at 8:39 with an eye opener for parents and teens. according to a new princeton review survey when it comes to

getting into college, students feel learning is less important than getting good grades. katie o'brien and hunt you are moss are contributors to the princeton review and co-authors of the straight a conspiracy. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. thank you for having us. >> this is really interesting. we'll put our first results up on the board here 90% of students said getting good grades are important. >> okay. i'll buy it. >> 6% said they care about whether they are learning. >> there is why we were so happy to collaborate on this study. it takes some of the focus off just grades an test scores and really on to how are students thinking and feeling on a daily basis? >> that seems a little disturbing to me. they're results oriented. they want the good grade. they don't really care if they learn. >> that's a problem. >> that attitude will get you into college, but it won't get you through college. what ends up happening is there is this myth in america. you have to make a choice either you can get good grades and be stressed or have a fun life parents need to know students as well it's not a

choice you can have both. you can have great grades without the stress. >> 43% of college acceptance drove them to get good grades. kind of obvious. let's talk about students' stress. a next series of stats here. 25% said hockeywork causes them the most stress. not too surprising. >> no stress is a major factor here for students. in fact students reported they spend one-third of their study time just stressing out. which is obviously a ton of waste of time. >> the problem is we now know from science that stress actually shuts down the learning process. so that third of the time that they're stressing out, they're not learning anything. so students need to know that stress can be managed, it's something you can deal with. >> i think that is one of the most remarkable results you have a third of the study time is freaking out. >> exactly. parents and students should know there are things you can do about it starting tonight. if you need that students can do what we like to call an emotional reset. when you feel that stress come up. take a deep breath.

tell yourself this is just an assignment. let's use the car or whatever it takes to get through it. you can break that assignment down into pieces if you have 20 calculus problems do the first three. see where that gets you. >> parents, we have stunning results. these are also very interesting. so 43% of parents said they check in about grades regularly, ability once a month. 76% of parents said they check in more than that. surprising? >> well it's not surprising. i think the thing that was most powerful about this was the disconnect. in general, parents feel they are checking in twice as often as students report they are checking in. it's possible parents are check income that often. it's when the teenager is running through the kitchen. you ask them how their school is going. they're going fine that i are hearing you half of the time. >> there is another result. 50% said their parents ask you to do better. the parents said oh no 77%. i encourage them. so basically, parents think they are more encouraging than the students think they are.

>> absolutely. one of the issues is that parents want to help. they don't always felt they k. that makes sense, few are a parent. you might not have taken algebra ii for years and years. what you can do is say, i don't know how to do this either. that's almost more helpful. if you can't go through the textbook with them. get an academic support system in place a. sibling, a teacher, a tutor, their online resources, available 24/7. physical out what that will be to get your student through that process. >> thank you very much. interesting results. appreciate it. just ahead, the next stop on shorted foods, search for america's best foods, where they're landing this week. first this is "today" on nbc.

a part of what standardized tests don't measure, very frankly they don't measure the diligence, the potential passion of a student. so it's really a measure of how adept you are to working out a problem quickly. but what if you're brilliant and it might take you twenty minutes, but you can figure out something if you were just given time to do it and show real brilliance. is that a real measure of ability and intelligence? what you can do in one minute on a problem? get out of here.

all right. we are back 8:45 with our special series lost and hungry with the guys from sordid food. >> we are following the u2 stars

with 25 million views as they eat their way across america. >> the tasting tour starts with tacos in los angeles as they call them tacos. that was from laughs week. they headed north to san francisco making seven stops along the way. take a look. >> our lost and hungry tour came to an en. you guys said the next destination is san francisco. >> how we get there on the way is completely down to you. >> i'm going to send a tweet. >> sent. >> first stop santa barbara for breakfast at a patisserie and bistro. i am particularly looking forward to the sorted caramel peanut chocolate bond. >> oh that delivers to all

areas of the mouth. >> next, we're heading into the mountains, too, los olivos. >> it has 18 different sandwiches. >> for me it's a few things good filling. good bread, good salad, good source. this has all of it. tate it. so fresh. >> the number 17 i just had was like italy from a mouthful artichoke, basil, tuna it was yummy. >> if it hasn't been recommend to us we would have never come here. that's what i love about it. our first on the first day was the passe doble and spoebl spoke to friend gary why california is so good at producing wine. >> california is number one. it doesn't rain. there is no moisture. the wine and that sunset were not a bad way to end a pretty awesome day. it's day two. we're currently going to jump up

to big sur. we are requested to come here. we were told we have to get the famous and bruisedambrosia burger. it's a combination of mayonnaise ketchup and green cheese is there that is stunning. >> it's a little pink inside. >> that is insanely good. >> next stop monterey. ben nearly lost his recipe book. we stopped off getting ice cream. which actually operates under the wharf. >> hey. >> abilone are giant marine snails they feed on plant production. shushemi style is delicious. there is no other food like abilone. >> we set off on our final drive into san francisco.

>> what an incredible journey and we've made it. >> we've eaten our way from l.a. to san francisco with your help. thanks, to you, we found some phenomenal food along the way. >> who is hungry? >> i can eat. >> yeah same. >> all right. we asked you what food the guys should try in san francisco. their community narrowed it down to clam chowder. sourdough bread, ice cream and dim sum and the favorite was clam chowder. >> really? >> the sorted guys are back next week to show us how their chowder tasting went. >> chowda? >> that's next. >> he will perform his beg hit live on the plaza. first, this is "today" on nbc.

>> announcer: nbc 10 news starts now. >> good morningment i 'm chris cato. 8:56. rp warming up nicely out there. let's get your forecast with meteorologist bill henley. >> not just in the city. even in the mountains the temperatures are climbing. 61 degrees in mount poke know. look at the sunshine. a beautiful view from the mountains. 65 in trenton.

wilmington up to 63. still 50s in south jersey. but not for long. the temperatures are climbing. sunshine, a few scattered clouds but no sign of rain today. >> we have an update now on breaking news we were following earlier involving a septa bus in north philadelphia. sky force 10 flew over the scene half an hour ago. septa tells us now there were 30 people on board. the route 56 bus when it made a sudden stop to avoid a car that cut it off. six people were hurt and taken to hospital for nonlife threatening injuries. everyone expected to be okay. >> cab greel >> gabrielle giffords will be pushing for tougherer gun control laws today. she was shot in the head in 2011 and today is supporting a plan that would require anyone under a restraining order to hand over firearms immediately. >> if you are driving through north philadelphia today and tomorrow you could run into slower than normal traffic. temple university's commitment today and tomorrow will cause heavy traffic volumes,

especially on north broad. traffic should be heaviest between the morning rush and early afternoon hours. i'm chris cato. we'll have another update in 25 minutes. remember, you can always get the latest news and weather through the nbc 10 app. it's free in the app store. now back to the "today" show. have a great day.

this morning on "today's" take. josh hartnett why he returned to television. then honorary globe trotter. pope frances showing he got skills. nick loeb speaking out on that embryo battle. all that and more coming up now. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today's" take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall. in studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. let's call it a chamber of commerce day here in new york city. there is a big crowd on the

plaza for the weekend. a big picture al roker took not with me. >> i sent a couple selfies. >> you were far away. he's very elusive. he doesn't like to give interviews. he's never given a full interview. ambush. he's probably gone. he has big body guards taking out. >> he draws a crowd, thursday morning. wow. >> coachella, his fan base is so huge and diverse. let me tell you, you want to pop that in and listen to it all weekend. >> i know he's called the weekend. then i heard him refer to the band as the weekend. >> that's my confusion, too if he would come on "today's take" clear this up is the band the weekend or is he the weekend? i'm sure people will tweet the answer. we want to hear it from him. >> is he named after the o.j. song "living for the weekend?" >> there is a letter missing,

the e. >> he left one weekend and never came back home. there is a whole story behind it. you may never know. that's the mystery of the weekend. >> you know what is really fascinating the interview hoda did. a lot of people hearing both sides of the story. we are hearing about nick loeb. it's about the embryo battle. he's the former fiance of sophia vergara. he talked exclusively. he may as you remember wrote an op-ed in the "new york times" last week. he is talking about this lawsuit he has with sophia ver gar remarks talking about his fight in wanting to bring these embryos to early term. to have these surrogate have these baby girls t. custody he shares is something that's very important to him. he feels like he deserves to be a father. he wants to be a father. take a listen to what he had to say this morning. >> do you want to have a baby or do you want to have her baby? >> it has nothing to do whether

her baby or a baby. lives were already created. you know we created. a lot of the question is why don't you move on and meet somebody else and no doubt i would love to do that. doesn't it matter that who lives have already been created. i wouldn't toss them aside no different than a child that had been born. >> an interesting point of view. it's the right to life. he is saying these are children essentially that you know deserve to have a life but on monday sophia vergara told howard stern that bringing children into the world under these circumstances would be selfish. she said loeb's plan would violate contract that they both signed. when you that contract it says you mutually agree that you are going to bring these children up in a world that you come to terms, you are agreeing to bring them together. >> you both agree with what's going to happen to the embryo. >> exactly. >> so he did admit to hoda he

signed that contract before going forward with the ivf, stating nothing can be done with the embryos unless they agreed. he said the form did not specify, what happens, though, if you separate as a couple and that is i guess something that's required by california law. so it's an interesting legal battle but i think it's one that could possibly set a precedent for other people in this position where you have these frozen embryos and you know when you do break up what happens to them if you know the mother or the father potentially want to be able to have that baby then have life? >> a lot of couples will hate having that discussion. a lot of people have frozen embryos and what are they going to do? so they will probably start taking a look at that. >> what about her right not to have two or three or however many children in the world that are hers. does she feel obligated to be a part of her life even though it's not her husband? >> hoda asked him that. he said he would raise the children on his own.

he doesn't want her help if she doesn't want to be a part of it. i thought hoda asked all the questions that people wanted to hear them answer. he said it would be up to her. and but what if you know suddenly the daughters as he refers to them find out who their mother is. this was, i don't know. >> a lot of questions. >> i think it's the perception too, and the timing of this he is coming forward at the time where she is out promoting what is a star turn for her in a movie. she's a leading lady in this. >> a wedding with joe manganiello who she is engaged to. so the timing of it of course it's like why now. >> other motives. >> can you let go of her? there is that question. can he let go of her and more on as he even suggested, people asking him that question moving on and having a life with somebody else and maybe a family. >> she talked to howard the other day and said that's about all i'm going to say about it. >> speaking of moving on. >> remember deflate get a, it was the biggest thing in the

world. >> it's back. >> this commission by the nfl the wells report after the attorney ted wells who did the study. and it found that quote, it was more probable than not that two long-time patriot staffers locker room attendants did deflate footballs prior to the afc championship game that led them to the super bowl t. report concludes it was more probable than not that tom brady quote was as least generally aware team personnel were deflating football before a key playoff game. >> is this a big revelation? >> i think the text message, they were very revealing. >> but they were revealing, but had people pretty much come to the logical conclusion? right? >> pretty much. >> they wanted to know what the proof was, though. >> there still isn't. it's still all circumstantial. >> i don't know the text messages are pretty damming, to say that. but at the same time where are, where is tom brady's side of the text messages? he's not revealing that. but, right, he's not giving over

his text messages to the -- >> which might be telling. which is sort of like -- >> if you have nothing to hide you know tom brady is a great quarterback. if you have nothing to hide why not say, here's my phone, read my texts. >> so there were these questions of the larger patriot's conspiracy. this report found the ownership bob kraft did not know anything the head coach did not know anything the equipment manager didn't know anything. it narrowed it down to tom brady and these two locker room guys. if you use common sense and he used common sense a couple months ago you say these guys willt no do this without consent or winking consent from tom brady. i think you can still conclude that but there is no concrete evidence that ties brady to it. >> but what happens now? >> nothing. >> is there going to be any kind of a punishment or suspension fines? >> i doubt it. i doubt it. i bet the players union or whatever will get involved. >> any fine or suspension of tom

brady then is a statement by the nfl they believe he cheated from that point forward, it proves his legacy is tainted. so that's a huge decision for the league. >> does this boil down to people who like the patriots and people who don't? >> a lot of it. >> i think you have the optimism that exists in new england area and then outside of that people i mean there is no proof. >> and the debate will go on. >> i got to tell you, we loved your piece with your mom, earlier today on "today." it was really special. >> thank you. all week long we have been celebrating our moms. we have been cooking our dishes. willie said his mom started crying yesterday about the fettuccine. >> i can't tell you the pictures i got who said they made it and loved it. >> isn't it crazy? >> i missed the fettuccine. >> did you miss the piece of tamron's interview? take a look at this. >> you are so resilient. you lost your mom when you were how old? >> 11. >> then dad has passed away.

>> i hope that what i instill in you there's going to be time that are you going to fall. get yourself up dust yourself off and go on. my goal was to have a home to raise you and your brother and now i'm raising my grandchildren with the father's help and the mother's so i'm hoping in the future that they remember me as being a good granny and you remember me as being a good mother. >> so we went out to texas, that's the home i grew up in. i tried to grow a garden last year for my mom and it didn't work out. these mysterious creatures started coming from the ground i think they were alien, nothing edible. did you see the invasion of the body snatchers, i grew the pods. so this year country garden home along with james bagett the editor came out and showed me where to grow the garden. the overall message is resilience. al you lost parents, we all had different losses my mom having

lost her mom at such a young age. she said she was determined to be the best mom and she has lived up to. she hasn't seen the show yet. it's delayed in texas. >> central time. >> so she texted me did i make you proud? >> oh my gosh woman. >> that's a great mother's day gift. >> we have that in common. people wonder about our relationships and everything. we have a strong bond in our parents in common. i think that has actually made us have a great friendship as well. >> yeah. >> and finish up with our favorite pope frances, i mean how many popes will meet with the harlem globe trotters? >> one. >> take a look at this. look at the video, he's trying to do the ball spin. he's great! le waited for a high five too, look at this i love this! >> try it again, let's see. >> he did it. he's crazy.

>> oh man. >> the people's pope. >> he really is. >> i'm so looking foirld to him coming to new york. i cannot wait. ♪ >> oh you have a ball. you can do the spin al? come on? >> okay good try. i know willie can do it. hey, we are watching some severe weather, yesterday 50 reports of tornadoes from kansas oklahoma on into nebraska right now, we've got a risk of strong storms including dallas, tornadoes possible from wichita, pueblo out to dallas. also tonight, kansas city down to austin 9 million people at risk. this goes into tomorrow. folks this is a dangerous situation we got developing through the weekend. del rio, texas. 11.5 million people at risk. here is something unusual to see a strong risk almost 72 hours out. 22 million people from garden city to oklahoma city and fort worth and dallas all at risk.

they all sort of know each other and, craziness ensues. >> to say the least. >> this is a horror i mean a horror genre i mean really in the true sense of the word. are you attracted to that? >> it wasn't necessarily the genre that attracted me. it's because john logan who has written everything from "sky fall" to "the afiator" to "gladiator asks. sam mendes directed "american beauty" and this great director was directing the first few episodes i thought these were great amazing collaborators, to work with. if you work with tv you want to work with good people giving consistent material. >> you seem so thoughtful in the roles you choose i recently read batman. tell me the truth, did you turn down batman? >> i think that story got blown out of proportion. sometimes when things go from

your mouth to the page. >> you are telling us. >> through the blog sphere. it end up being a game of telephone. i said back if 2002 or 2003 i had a meeting with a director who i thought i should have formed a relationship with and i liked a script that he had that his brother had written and he ended up doing that next. i said to him at the time i really want to do this. we were talking about batman. it wasn't what i was interested in. i said that in that interview that i thought i should have formed that relationship not knowing more about hollywood now, i would have definitely done anything to stay in that relationship and make you know multiple films. it doesn't know what it is. >> it's all lies? >> it's a reinterpretation of the truth. >> okay. you keep really busy it seems with directing and producing as well. do you prefer that to acting? >> it's much less nerve racking on the camera, i have to say. i like to be a little more in control. you know and here i'm giving up all control to you guys.

vegetables it found people who ate healthy diet had 24% less decline to have cognitive decline and memory loss. >> what did you see? here what you need to know is dr. natalie asur. what did the study find? >> so the study looked at a population of people at high risk for cognitive decline. >> that means people over the age of 55 men and women who had a history already of stroke, vascular disease, heart disease, we know they are at risk of cognitive decline as they get older. what they found. they took a questionnaire and did a mini mental status exam looking at a number of different docknytive variables as well-- cognitive variables. there were 150,000 people in the study. a fair number experienced cognitive decline over a number of years and found the people with the least healthy diet were more likely to experience it
