the audience the crowd that says well if they lost it's because they couldn't do anything with the balls. if they win the game they're not going to give me credit because that's how they got there. >> marshawn lynch. >> reporter: meanwhile it's not a running seahawk but a running nose providing another distraction for brady. he's battling a cold seen wiping his nose with his sleeve wednesday but thursday assuring fans he'll be 100% come sunday. >> glad it happened early in the week and i'm feeling a lot better. >> reporter: not getting better. marshawn lynch's relationship with the media. >> i'm here so i won't get fined. >> reporter: after holding his tongue all week he forced un unwillingly to go in front of the cameras against thursday but still refusing to answer any questions. >> y'all can go and make up whatever qualcomm stadium want to make up because i don't say enough for you to put anything out on me. >> reporter: with sunny skies in the forecast and ticket prices expected to be the highest in super bowl history, more than $8,000 just to get in sports fans hope both teams can sideline the scandal and leave

sherman, one of the most outspoken players facing off against tom brady and the new england patriots. a lot of talk this week about the legacy of tom brady. if he wins this game it's his fourth super bowl championship many would consider him the greatest quarterback to ever play in the national football league of course there's another quarterback playing, as well that's russell wilson of seattle. no quarterback has won more games in his first three seasons in the nfl. these are the two best teams in the national football league this year facing off, lots of big name star power. i believe super bowl xlix is going to live up to the hype david. >> wow. you gave us a lot to look forward to jesse. some you know oh too well michael strahan, got that super bowl -- not little. big super bowl ring you're sporting. do you agree that once the games -- the distractions we talk about go to the wayside. >> once they kick off it's still just football after that. no fan can help you. it's just about you and your teammates and what you do on the feel. then on the field actually the best place to be because all

welcome back and we continue now with hopefully teleprompter in the right place. there we go. 7:41 and "gma investigates" school buses and why the vast majority of them do not have seat belts. some saying that could prevent injuries and save kids' lives and now the government's auto safety agency tells abc he's taking a fresh look at the issue. abc's paula faris here now with that story and good morning to you, paula. >> good morning, lara. this morning the vast majority of school buses on the road taking our children to school are not equipped with safety belts. it can be a really confusing message to kids buckle up it's the law except on the school bus. but that could be changing. this is the inside of a school bus rolling over. luckily it's a crash test with dummies, not the real thing. >> oh my gosh. it's a school bus.

>> reporter: michael watkins was 9 when his school bus crashed into a bridge killing the driver one student and leaving dozens of other students injured including michael. >> i broke my leg. my femur. >> do you think he would have suffered the extent of those injuries had he been wearing a seat belt? >> all i know is he wasn't in one and he ended up with a broken femur two surgeries, a wheelchair walker therapy. >> reporter: u.s. regulations only require seat bells on small school buses, under 10,000 pounds and only 6 states require all school buses to be equipped with seat belts. so "gma investigates" was on the scene at a crash test run by one of the leading providers of seat bells in the school bus industry. inside 12 dummies, 8 unbelted. four belted. high-speed cameras capture what happens when a bus rams into a wall at 30 miles an hour. oh, my gosh. that was terrifying.
