brown after the ridiculousness going on with the raiders, the patriots, of course, you've got robert krafts involved with the allegations of soliciting prostitution just a few months ago. and then spoke -- it seemed from the heart, about wanting to make sure he did right by women and how much they cared about women and how much he was going to pay attention to the issues that so involved me too and women. and the patriots sign brown so quickly. there's a lot of mixed messages going on now, i think. >> this is a civil suit. this is not a criminal investigation. there's no police report. there's no already independent investigation that the nfl can lean on. so they're going to do their own investigation. ver view britney taylor, interview antonio brown. how well is the nfl equipped for launching this type of investigation from start, from scratch, without having that criminal investigation to lean on? >> after the ray rice controversy of five years ago, roger goodell commissioned, of all people, robert mueller to look into that. the same robert mueller who has been in the news for other thin

then he brought up robert kraft past allegations of soliciting sec's acts that his past boss in new england and this was all before 09:00am local time. i don't know what the next chapter of the antonio brown saga will be but it's like the first few chapters it will be something. predictable. now for what it's worth a bee's agent drew rosenhaus said on friday that antonio is healthy and looking forward to his next opportunity in the nfl he wants to play the game. he loves and he hopes to play for another team says. >>who at i tell you what's what's next don't know what he's thinking is this. i think you just need some help honestly. well thank you so much as you. for this year's 71th. and the awards will talk about the big winners in on the snubs that happened at the ceremony. >>plus c o mark zuckerberg meets with lawmakers on capitol hill and makes new promises on protecting your data. >>president trump and india's prime minister held a joint rally in houston. what they hope to gain from the isn't it nice when you can keep things simple? well, now you can switch to sprint and get both an un

he says he's not going to play in the nfl anymore and he called out robert kraft and ben roethlisbergerroethlisberger being investigated for sexual assault. roethlisberger was suspended four games by the nfl for violating the league's personal conduct policy that year. the quarterback denied a sexual assault took place. the incident was investigated but no charges filed. brown has since deleted that tweet. in another he said he will not be playing in the nfl anymore. they can cancel deals, do whatever they want. we'll see if the nfl players association will hold them accountable. britney taylor has accused him of sexual assault twice and rape in 2018. he was cut by the patriots friday. meantime, the nfl says their investigation is ongoing. >>> now to the football on the field. daniel jones making his much anticipated start for eli manning. what a start it was. leading a huge second half comeback. threw for 336 yards, 2 touchdowns. he also ran for two touchdowns including the game winner with under a minute and a half to go. check out this stat. jones now 1-0 when trailing by 18 or more.

jerry jones and robert kraft are the two most powerful owners in the nfl. tried to get roger goodell fired over the fact he prosecuted and suspended ezekiel elliot. this will be a test for the nfl. but you're right. there's nothing that is going to happen overnight. i think it means he plays. the question is whether they really will abide by it. all the owners are for investigating players unless they're on their team. and as you've seen in the past, they'll say, oh, we're all for this. then they'll go in and file a federal lawsuit to try to block it like elliot. so this will be a very stern test for the nfl. but don't expect anything to happen overnight. >> all right. laura, joe, thank you for all of your expertise in this. >>> desperation is growing in the bahamas after hurricane dori dorian. we'll speak with cnn's patrick oppmann who has been there through the powerful hurricane. all of his reporting has been so extraordinary. what he has to say today. i get it all the time.

one final point, robert kraft is the owner of the new england patriots. in the criminal justice system recently. he also has been involved with the rapp eper meek mill. it may be he's speaking volumes right now by saying just as my own case, i demanded to have played out, i'm going to allow the same thick to happen here. >> so it sounds like he's going to play this weekend. today that's your prediction. >> it is my prediction. if i ask belichick, he'll say no. tom brady will say no. i think he will play. i think they'll let this play out. >> nfl says they're going to interview britney taylor who's making the accusation next week. so soon. >> after sunday. >> after sunday. >> thanks very much. >>> all right. a big day in the 2020 race.

you think robert kraft is making a statement by saying you can practice.his is that time? >> i think irrespective of the differences between whether there's evidence or not, i think the league's integrity is at stake here. i don't think they're going to allow a situation like this to cloud what is generally believed to be a pretty pristine nfl. so i think they're going to take some actions, premeditated, and i think he'll not be allowed to play until this is cleared up. >> how long do you think the nfl should be willing to let that go on? >> i think under normal circumstances if you had a clean record and this was something that came out of -- it would be something different. antonio has had a lot of skeletons from his closet of late. so i think they'll take that under consideration also. and to use a golf phrase, he's had a lot of mulligans so far. they're not endless. he's getting to a point where they'll have to -- >> george brings up a lot of cases. there have been different run-ins with the law. all different planet, different universe than the allega

on a twitter tirade, alluding to a double standard in the league taking aim at patriots owner robert kraft, who was cited for soliciting a prostitute. kraft has pleaded not guilty to the allegations and has denied any wrong doing. brown also mentioned former pittsburgh steelers teammate ben roethlisberger who was suspended by the nfl in 2010 after he was accused of sexual assault. four games for big ben, crazy world, i'm done with it. those postsosts now deleted. >> brady, end zone, caught by brown. >> reporter: after playing one game for the patriots a second woman came forward and accused brown of sexual misconduct, first reported by "sports illustrated", over the weekend, brown also sharing a report alleging some patriots fans threatened the "sports illustrated" writer, brown saying in a tweet, system working effectively. while brown is still a free agent and could technically pla saying in a tweet, system for any team in the league, the working nfl is looking into a rape eff. while brown is still a free agent and could technically play for any team in the allegation filed in civil cour

other than beth mentioned robert kra kraft -- beto o'rourke. he has changed up his message for the moment. most you say question heawe hean january, february. but beto o'rourke took his in a different direction since the el paso shooting. over in odessa after the shooting there. and i think what you heard him say was calling for mandatory buy back of assault weapons which brought this crowd to its feet. these folks have been in their chairs for more than ten hours and only a couple times which everybody stood up and beto o'rourke specifically talking about guns that really elevated the conversation and spoke to the time and spoke to the moment here. >> beth, quickly. >> yeah, i would agree with that, that there was a very big passion around the issue of guns. of course all the candidates talked about health care, you know, very much a staple of democratic party politics, an issue that voters care very much about. you also heard a lot about climate change. we've seen a big change on that subject over the years where candidates never really sort

we know what happened with robert kraft and the stuff that he's involved with also on the state of floridald on sunday but because this is not a criminal case. but from a p.r. standpoint, from a moral standpoint, what happens if it comes out that antonio brown it's guilty or in turn pays this woman off? >> bill: that's a fair question. the exempt list as i understand it is if you are put on that that's roger goodell, the commissioners call. you don't count against a roster which means and what else can take your place but you also still get your paycheck. >> it's almost a way of keeping both sides of peace and say we are getting all of our ducks in a row here. people have wondered how to the patriots sign antonio brown with this news? the raiders didn't know and the patriots didn't know in the reports are that the discussions have been going on for months between antonio brown's reps and also brittany taylors. they're trying to work something out and then all of a sudden there's these civil set suit. they would have broken that agreement if they told it. >> bill: they go to miami this week

tom brady was an afterthought in the sixth round of the nfl draft in the year 2000, and he told robert kraftsion you ever made. twenty seasons later he is now the greatest quarterback in the history of the nfl, and that's what america is all about, right in it's about the fact that not everyone gets to the same place, but everyone has the opportunity to do so. and i just think this is a prototypical story of the great underdog achieving great success and somebody trying to make a buck off of an absolutely absurd story. jedediah: you talked about sports being a great unifier, and that's how everyone thought of sports for so long, and now it has become a political battleground. i just want to watch my football and my basketball. >> that's right. and have fun. not everything needs to be mitt sized. whether it is the halftime show or with the players, what do you do at that moment is say sacred and fun, and it's supposed to bring the family together. >> yeah. just shut up and play ball.
