7:03 am
jeff, good morning. >> good to be back. leaders of the new england patriots they don't nigh why the balls were underinflated. tom brady said he didn't alter the ball in any way and coach belichick says he has nothing do with the balls. >> but there's a lot of skepticism. anna werner is in foxborough, massachusetts massachusetts, with more. >> reporter: on monday tom brady kind of laughed off accusations of wrongdoing but yesterday during questioning he was much more somber. >> i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. >> reporter: tom brady said he had nothing do with 11 underdeflated balls reportedly used during sunday's game. are you comfortable within yourself that nobody on sunday on the patriots' side did anything wrong? >> i have no knowledge of
7:04 am
anything. i have no knowledge of any -- >> are you comfortable that nobody did anything wrong? >> yeah i'm very comfortable saying that. >> reporter: brady says he likes his footballs inflated 12.5 pounds per square-inch, the minimum, and he picks his balls out before the game. >> i don't want anyone touching them, rubbing them, putting any air in taking any air out. to me those balls are perfect and for me that's what i expect when i show up on the field. >> reporter: brady claims he didn't notice anything different in the second half when the referees p inflated to the proper levels. former quarterback mark brunell was dubious. >> i don't believe there's an equipment manager in the nfl on his own initiative would deflate a ball without a starting quarterback's approval. i just didn't believe what tom brady had to say. >> reporter: before brady's press conference former
7:05 am
cowboy's troy aikman told dallas radio station -- >> it's obvious tom brady had something to do with this. for the balls to have been deflated, that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants it to happen. >> reporter: but warren moon a former quarterback, i thinks brady's telling the truth. >> reporter: bill belichick said prior to this week he didn't even know about the specifics of selecting game balls. >> in my entire coaching career i have never talked to any player, staff member about football's air pressure. >> reporter: now brady told us as of yesterday at that point the nfl had not contacted him about its investigation. he also said that he knows a lot of people are going to be skeptical of him. he said, well they're entitled
7:06 am
to their opinions. he said he's focused on beating the seahawks in super bowl xlix. gayle? >> there's lots of opinions out there today. everyone's got one. a columnist wrote i am neither enraged or surprised by any issues. i'm more or less numb. >> good morning, mr. numb. this is the thing. a lot of people looked at the news conference with both the coach and the quarterback saying finally we're going to get some answers, we're going to get some answers and they both went, i don't know nothing about nothing. where do you go from there? >> there's so much. first of all a couple of things. if they didn't know anything they could have been like ray rice, we don't know. there's no accountability. this comes from the top all the way from the owner to the coach to the quarterback. and the other thing is we keep
7:07 am
looking at -- >> you say top like bob kraft top? >> the commissioner. from the commissioner to the owners to the coach. this whole idea of deniability, nobody knows, we didn't get to the bottom we didn't see, we don't know. until something embarrassing comes out and they're embarrass embarrassed -- the fact is what are they doing now? what goodell is doing now, how can we make it look like we're doing something withouting are doing anything? how can we do something and notng? it's probably going to be if there's anything done okay we're going to give you a fine -- okay a million dollarnd let it go at that. i mean as opposed to we're going to suspend -- we're going to suspend belichick for the game you know i mean some real serious punishment. >> on the subject of at least looking like you're going to do something, whether it's a meaningful conversation or not how is it possible from four
7:08 am
days removed at the beginning of this controversy, nobody talked to tom brady about what happened or may have happened? >> it gets back to they didn't want to know this stuff, just like they didn't want to know about ray rice. stuff. it's incredible. you're doing an investigation and you're not talking to the main protagonist. but what i think is genius about this we would be talking about going to the super bowl asset seahawks and how great a comeback russell wilson is. it's now as if seattle never played that game. so now new england comes into the super bowl with this sort of momentum, and not that again, new england planned it, but they just keep winning. they just -- they -- you know, the bad -- the bad guys never really get punished. >> but is it a good momentum when so many think you might have been a cheater, cheater
7:09 am
pumpkin eater? >> there are going to be record numbers at the super bowl watching the super bowl. it's not going to make a moral accident at all. >> sports and controversy go hand in hand and they sure help the ratings. >> absolutely. >> bill rhoden thank you so much. this morning new england is bracing for what may be the biggest storm of the season. it's a mix of icy snow and rain in parts of the south. parts of texas saw about 3 inches of rain. wind snapped trees and power lines. meteorologist danielle niles of wbz shows us our next target. good morning. >> good morning, jeff and everybody. we're tracking it across the southeast right now. torrential rains. aside from how much energy and moisture this has, it's going to work northern to the eastern seaboard. it will spread boo southern new england. you notice away from the coastline it's snow heavy rain and a change over as cold air wraps in around the back side of the storm. i wouldn't be surprised to see
7:10 am
localized amounts in the florida panhandle and southern georgia through the afternoon and evening. snowfall amounts, it's not a blockbuster storm but there will be treacherous travel with a swath of 3 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts and isolated outages with the wet pasty nature of the snow. back to you. >> thank you danielle. the measles outbreak at disneyland continues to spread. it's grown to 75 confirmed cases in six states. at least 54 has been traced back resort. at least six were not vaccinated. more than 30 quarantined in their homes this morning. this is how serious this is. they may have been exposed to a child with measles at an oakland hospital. dr. anthony fauci is with us. he joins us from bethesda maryland. good morning. >> good morning.
7:11 am
>> 5015 years ago measles was gone. how serious is this? >> first of all it's one of the most highly effective vaccines we have against any virus or microbe, and it is safe number one. number two measles is one of the top two most contagious infectious viruses that we know of. so you have a highly infect use virus and you have an extraordinarily effective vaccine and the idea of not vaccinating your children and putting them at risk for what can be a serious disease, measles is not an insignificant disease and there can be some serious complications from it. so it really is a shame that children are not allowed to get vaccinated by their parents. that is too bad. >> complications like what dr. fauci, and why would people be
7:12 am
resistant since it's so safe and really can do the job it's intended to do? >> the complications can be as irrelevant as diarrhea to pneumonia and even some deaths. prior to the vaccinations in this country we had about 5,000 cases with many serious complications and 500 deaths. now, the idea of not vaccinating a child is the misperception that the risk of the vaccine is refore you don't want to expose your child to the risk of the vaccine. that's not good for your child and that's not good for the community either. so it's really -- it's unfortunate that that is going on, that people have that misperception about vaccines. >> researchers have found that these vaccines live in clusters and in one particular case in california where a parent can fill out an exempt form and a doctor can sign off. are we making it too easy? >> you know i don't know if i
7:13 am
could comment on that except to say that you do see clusters in community. of course, people resonate with each other and they talk with each other and they temd to group together people of the same frame of mind and reinforce what they know even though what they're doing is really something that is not based on any scientific evidence at all. in fact, all of the scientific data that we've collected over a long period of time from multiple organizations indicate that the measles vaccine is safe and all of these connections to thinks like autism and things like that are just not true. >> all right. dr. anthony fauci, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> two japanese men held by isis face a new threat this morning. militants posted an online warning along with a clock and say the countdown has begun to kill the hostages. the message comes as a deadline for a $200 million ransom passed this morning. the mother of one of the captors made an emotional appeal for her son's life. she said he's not an enemy of
7:14 am
isis and begs his release. the government of that u.s. ally collapsed. president hadi and his prime minister and the cabinet all stepped down yesterday. hadi supported u.s. in its fight against al qaeda in yemen. there's new concern about the future of the middle east after the death of saudi arabia's king abdullah. they're promising no major policy changes. president obama said in a statement the closeness and strength of the partnership between our two countries is part of king abdullah's legacy. may god grant him peace. margaret brennan is at the state department on how abdullah's death might affect the state department. good morning. >> good morning. king abdullah will be laid to rest in an unmarked spot.
7:15 am
while he will be remembered as an absolute ruler, he was always a cautious reformer. abdullah abdullah, the sixth king of saudi arabia, died on thursday. state tv announced his passing. soon after, thousands gathered at one of the kingdom's holy sites to mourn his loss. abdullah spent almost a decade on the throne as ruler of the world's largest oil exporter custodian of the two hostiest sites in islam and an extremely close alliance with the united states. a relationship that was strained but soon repaired after the 9/11 terror attacks after it was unveiled that 15 of the 19 were saudi arabia citizens. he's known for his hands-off policy in syria but he did send
7:16 am
saudi pilots to fight isis alongside the u.s. even amid turmoil, expect a smooth transition. >> the family wants to ensure stability. they're going to be concerned with first and foremost is consolidating the continuity of the state. >> abdullah's half brother sal salman will assume the role of the kingdom. among those things he granted women the ability to vote in local elections and opened up some job and education abilities. he did fall short of a promise to allow them to drive. but regardless of who runs this kingdom, it's oil for security that links u.s. and saudi arabia. jeff? >> margaret bran anennan, thanks. jeff gordon said this season
7:17 am
will be his last as a full-time driver. elaine quijano has more. >> jeff gordon said he knew this year would be his last but that did not make the decision any easier. the 43-year-old said he cried when he told his children yesterday and got emotional again when he broke the news to his team before telling the world. for more than two decades jeff gordon has been the man behind the wheel of number 24 racking up 92 career victories including four championships, but now the nascar superstar who ranks third in all-time race wins says it's time to hit the brakes. >> this is certainly something i've been thinking about for years. i always said i wanted to step away on my own terms if possible. >> a clean-cut california native, the 43-year-old helped transform racing beyond its southern roots, elevating nascar
7:18 am
to a national obsession. >> jeff gordon became the poster boy for nascar and as nascar grew, he fit the image of what nascar wanted to do. he was not only popular but was polarizing and marketable to the even tire country. >> marketable on and off the track, hosting "saturday night live" and serving as a popular pitchman. gordon's announcement comes after one of his best seasons in years. >> jeff gordon may have a flat tire. >> reporter: one that also saw him knocked out of contention for the championship following a collision with driver brad keselowski that led to an all-out one. a number of factors contributed to his decision including a recurring back condition. >> the back pain played a role.
7:19 am
>> reporter: still he stopped short of calling it a retirement. >> retirement means sitting in a rocking chair and sitting on the front porch. that's not me. i plan on working. i'm going actually have to go get a real job now. >> reporter: gordon intends to remain involved with hendrick motorsports of which he's an equity owner. for now he beginning his 20th season. >> elaine thanks so much. ahead, prns andrew publicly address allext

7:45 am
but until now, they've never cost this much. a single 30-second spot runs $4.5 million. and it's not just pepsi and budweiser. this year unknown companies are betting the farm trying to get their brand name out there. wix.com which building web sooirkts mophie extends phone batteries and loctite, a 52-year-old glue company based in west ohio spending its entire $1 mull 1$1 1$1 million budget. >> we speerpding more than what we invested for the total of last year. an ad firm convinced them it would make loctite a household name. the man behind super bowl ads for cadillac and coke. >> it is a major investment, a
