, aikman took a knee to the head. >> down he goes.eld was there first. troy aikman took a knee to the head... >> you see it right here. it's dennis brown coming in, you see the knee right there knee right on his helmet. >> narrator: aikman's concussion was bad enough that he could not return to the game. aikman was taken to a local hospital. >> i went to visit troy, who was sitting in a darkened hospital room all alone. >> the room is dark because aikman can't even stand looking into the light. it's this sort of surreal scene where the city is celebrating and the quarterback who won the game is in the hospital with his agent. >> he looked at me and he said "leigh, where am i?" and i said, "well, you're in the hospital." and he said, "well why am i here?" and i said, "because you suffered a concussion today." and he said, "well, who did we play?" and i said, "the 49ers." and he said, "did we win?" "yes, you won." "did i play well?" "yes, you played well." "and so what's that mean?" "it means you're going to the super bowl." >> five min

is that what aikman was talking about?r inflate it? >> tom brady and peyton manning got the rules committee to change the rules that quarterbacks can work over their own footballs and eli manning, the times had a great article on this, what they do to his ball. >> what do they do to them? >> they take them, they scrape them, spin them in a spinner, they water log them. they work them over like these balls aren't giving you information about the ticking time. >> boomer: -- time bomb. that compared to a little bit of deflation, i don't know. i think this is all because it's the biggest, most behind media game of the year. >> george, mike calls this gamesmanship but other people call this cheating. what do you think? >> i agree with it. i think it's part of the gamesmanship. back when i played it was illegal for us to put a foreign substance of your jersey. we would spray ourselves down with silicone so that the offensive linemen couldn't grab you. >> not me but i saw some guys in the locker room to do it. it's over blown. it

we have seen a number of former players, including troy aikman. a number of former quarterbacks on espn saying that they believe that tom brady is lying. is it unfair is it just not right to jump to conclusions when we just don't have the facts from the official investigation? >> well the thing poppy, with the 2007 spygate situation they haven't given us the benefit of the doubt to believe them. and not to jump to the conclusions, but when you talk with some of these guys i mean those are strong words from hall of fame players like troy aikman. they don't just throw words out there like that. i've talked to current quarterbacks in the league. and this is a quarterback equipment manager or ball manager situation. every ball manager on game day knows how their quarterback likes their football to be. now, they work with the within that range, 12.5 to 13.5inch. speaking to that head equipment manager, that ball manager knows how tom brady likes his footballs. he said this isn't the first time these football were that way. you wouldn't do that in an af

aikman says it's obvious that tom brady had something to do with this. what's your call?ot of big names. i'll give you another big name. dan reeves. i literally got off the phone with dan reeves not too long ago, and dan reeves has been associated with the national football league and for 50 years literally as a player as a coach, he participated in more super bowls than anybody as a player or a coach. nine super bowls. and he flat-out said all these people talking about well this has always been done in the national football league. he pointed out that bill belichick has been involved in more controversies than any head coach he could ever think of. and everybody's talking about this situation or spy-gate, but they forget about his substitution patterns that right on the borderline of being illegal. he's also monkeyed around with the injury report. the thing that dan reeves said and he doesn't have to do it. he's out of control, he's addicted to doing this crazy stuff. >> that's interesting. aikman not only talked about it being brady's fault, but he brought up bounty-ga

troy aikman was saying no no.s should be a worse punishment that the saints. >> to me that's ridiculous. that was about taking hits out on other players. that's a physical problem with health of players top. me that's a ridiculous suggestion. certainly they could go back in and dock the patriot's draft choices or up the punishment if they felt it was premeditated breaking of rules whether than they dropped due to the cold weather. this is $25,000. marshawn lynch was fined $10,000 for not talking to media. this is chump change. >> rachel nichols, do you agree with that? what punishment fits the -- i don't know what you call it cheating crime, gamesman ship. >> i think patriots do not get the benefit of the t doubt because of the spy gate issue. i think the nfl could control the balls better and probably will going forward. however, there's an underlying issue here don't cheat. there's all kinds of ways to cheat the game. the nfl can control so much of it. we don't know what the patriots did or did not do. we may fi

troy aikman is someone who has been making that comparison.y aikman says the punishment in this case should be even worse. let's listen to what the former dallas quarterback said. >> it's obvious that tom brady had something to do with this. for the balls to have been de deflate deflated that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen. i can assure you of that. >> troy is awesome. great player. i couldn't disagree with him more. this is something that doesn't affect somebody's health and well-being. bounty gate really did. that's morally repugnant. this is not. >> i want to bring you in but there are people who say there are moral issues with cheating as well if that's what the patriots did. you are dealing with the issue of what is worse. we'll leave that to the nfl to decide. tom brady said something yesterday that was interesting. he said the perfect football for him is at 12.5 psi. that's where it is perfect for him. he then went onto say he has no way of knowing how much pressure was in the balls when he was playing with t

. >> but brady is not winning over critics including hall of fame quarterback troy aikman who thinksnalty needs to be as severe as the new orleans saints punishment for paying to injury opposing players. >> obvious that tom brady had something to do with this for the balls to have been deflated. that doesn't happen until the quarterback wants that to happen i can assure you of that. >> so you're asking yourself more than once do tom brady's answers make any sense? what happened to those footballs from pregame to the snap? andy scholes joins us now with some answers, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. the million dollar question remains when and how did these footballs get deflated. the nfl is in a tough spot. evidence is hard to come by. no one is taking responsibility especially tom brady. >> i have no knowledge of anything. i don't know what happened. i'm not -- i don't know everything. >> reporter: the theme from tom brady's press conference is he claims to know nothing about how or when the patriots game balls ended up under inflated against the colts. >> i didn't al

so speaking of -- i want to get to troy aikman but talk about his reputation because people say thate a guy as people like to make him out to be and he is not a nice guy. i don't know. richard sherman said that. and let's listen to richard sherman. >> people somehow get a skewed view of tom brady that he is a clean-cut and does everything right, and he does not say a bad word to anyone, and we know him to be otherwise. >> bram, is that clear? >> well, he trash talks, and that is clear. if you watch him and erlarlier he got mad at a network, because they showed him cursing on tv and he does not want to be seen cursing on tv. i don't know about the bad guy, and i don't know him well enough to even determine that. >> and dante, you should know, because you played with him, and what do you think? >> i think that brady is a man of good character and of integrity. i think that the thing that you are missing pr richard sherman that he is talking about is on the field stuff. i tell people all of the stuff he gets fired up and he is going to head buttbutt you and curse u you. and he trash tal

troy aikman has been critical.s back-up, stepped in. a wine maker in washington state. you watched the interview. do you believe what he does? >> 100%. tommy is a man of high character. he's not going to lie. if they were actually chooeting, the easiest thing to say is we did it $25,000 fine move forward. no reason to continue on and try to, you know cover something up. i don't believe there's anything to cover up. when you look at the process, as a 14 year starting quarterback in the nfl, to grab the footballs, make sure they're okay go back in the bag, i never once knew what the air pressure was in the balls. i knew the football felt right. that was it. end of the story. >> so i mean if they were deflated or under-inflated as a quarterback, would you have known that? if it was under-inflated would you have been able to tell that when it was in your hand? >> you know my good friend damon here actually did an experiment. he went down he works for the washington hus keys. he had them blow it up to 13 pounds. he said

so when craig walk troy aikmane field, he's troy aikman, when he walks off the field, he's still doingorsements 20 years later. if a player is a free agent coming off a super bowl win or mvp, they double their value. >> we came one this product line. it's organic. it's parabin free, sulfate free. >> i thought it was a gift for me. >> it's awesome. >> cool. so gene, we have something in common. >> we do. when i first came in the league in 1985, there was a guy who is a hall of famer legend, one of the best receivers. that's who i'm talking about right now, of all time. he is a very good friend of mine. he taught me play football, but he also served with you. you also reference your buddy steve largent. >> he's such a great guy. i can't say enough great things about him, on the football field, in congress, and in life. >> i want to get some picks for this game. >> 30 seconds. >> tough game. patriots by one. >> by one. >> wow. >> i say seattle by ten. >> oh, my goodness. >> i'm with you. >> seattle by three, because i played for seattle for three years. >> thank you so much. >> great havi

so aikman is saying the punishment for this deflate-gate should be worse than that.you think that's fair? >> no. i think we're talking apples and oranges here. this is to me a non-issue that has no impact on the outcome of the game. it has nothing to do with player safety. the outcome of the game was not going to change even a little bit, if there was -- >> it is -- i have to press you on that. there are regulations for a reason. so this was outside of the regulations. therefore, that would be against the rules. therefore, that would be cheating. >> you know, if in fact there was some conspiracy to do this then yes, that would be cheating. i think it's laid out what the fine is for that. one thing that i think people are missing here is you have really smart people. you have an organization -- say what you want they are both very smart guys. if they had done something wrong, the thing that would make the most sense would be yeah we did it we're sorry, we'll pay the fine and we will move on and stop talking about it. would be the obvious way to handle this. that leads

what do you think about troy aikman and his comments here?well part of it i think he's absolutely right. that it all falls on the quarterback and his preference. and i can tell you there's different types of rituals. some clubs put the balls in a dryer with towels to get them warmed up and ready for play. guys that rub oil all over them do different things. during the course of the game i can also tell you that there are sometimes when you feel a ball during the course of the series and say that ball's too hard or that ball's too soft. get that ball out of the game. that happens. that happens a lot. i've been on six different teams and played with a lot of different quarterbacks. some like them hard some like them soft. and it's all about the quarterback. so the quarterback is the one that really decides what that ball is going to feel like. >> and that's what we've been hearing over and over from quarterback after quarterback after quarterback. many of them saying that they do not believe tom brady. the nfl really still at the beginning of t

. >> reporter: despite brady's denial, hall of fame quarterback troy aikman believes the pressure of those footballs was by brady's design. >> or the balls then deflated, uhm, that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen. >> reporter: brady's teammates are ready to move on. >> do you believe him? >> does it matter? i'm -- i'm -- i'm kind of past all that. >> reporter: the patriots say this distraction will not impact their super bowl preparations. a job that may be tough with this controversy still unresolved. in washington, i'm ryan nobles, reporting. >> tom brady says the nfl has yet to talk to him about the deflated footballs. >>> he did it. a bay area man completed 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. tired but triumphant, tim durbin posted this picture to his instagram today excited to announce his accomplishment. he said he finished his last marathon in sydney, australia, in under five hours. durbin was the only american taking part in the world marathon challenge. earlier this week, he ran the 26.2-mile race in antarctica, chile, spain, florida and dubai.

>> larry: troy aikman threw him under the bus. >> he did. >> larry: that's very unusual.we don't-- we're not concerned with heroes exwms g.m.? we just want to know who people are. we're taking down that myth of sports stars as heroes. >> yes. you know what, we want to see things like we see reality shows. we want to see behind the scenes. >> larry: but those are real. well, some of them. >> kim kardashian is smart. >> we want to-- i'd rather them keep it 100 or zero like marr shan lynch and -- >> he's keeping it 100. >> but with the media he gave them nothing. they want a five-minute interview, manned dory, and i think he's doing it the best way saying what you want to say-- nothing. >> you think thoog the best way? >> the best way. >> to say absolutely nothing. >> the only reason i'm here on this show tonight is so i don't get fined. >> larry: all right, i have to ask you a question, are you-- are you ever disappointed when-- like, one of your hero athletes, when you find out they lie disd that disappoint you, or do you just not care? >> i don't care. it depends how many

. >> if you are troy aikman, this is a great excuse for you to get back in the headlines.hinking about troy aikman a week ago. our other athletes going to use the situation? >> being one of the main commentators from fox, he has all the attention he needs. at the end of the day, he does have a good image. that will carry more weight and it is not as though if more suspicions come forward they are not going to cut tom brady but i think there might be some companies that might be hesitant to make him a new spokesperson because of this. >> apart from the companies on the friends that may be hesitant to make him a spokesperson, is their impact from the scandal at all? is it going to stop people from turning on the super bowl? if anything, more will turn on the super bowl. >> there is no way to know for sure. we cannot turn back time. you will see people watching this game. it will be a fantastic matchup. you have a couple different history making things going on. can tom brady and bill belichick win their fourth super bowl or can seattle win back to back? you have a compelling

. >> christine, i want to read a quote from former dallas cowboys quarterback troy aikman. he said quote, now twice under bill belichick and possibly a third time they have cheated, meaning the patriots and given themselves an advantage. to me the punishment for the patriots and/or bill belichick has to be more severe than what the punishment was for the saints. what do you make of that? >> it's a good point. i think the bottom line with this almost half hour long press conference which was extraordinarily long i was very surprised, instead of a resolution there are more questions. this story just rolls on and on and on. so i think we will get answers eventually. there is no doubt tom brady, he has spoken with p.r. people and lawyers, you have to surmise that so if he's not telling the truth, and the nfl, again, i'm shocked as well that the nfl hasn't talked to him already, but the nfl will speak to him. so if that was not the truth, that 30 minutes was not the truth, then he's in really big trouble because the answers came over and over again in the tom brady way and if th

. >> then you're a hall of famer, your fellow hall of famers, joe montana, troy aikman have chimed in and said they think tom brady is involved are. you in that club or not? >> i just look at those guys, joe and troy and myself, we all had our opportunities to put the footballs in the games that you wanted to use in those games. they put 24 balls out there. you work with them during the week. they're all different. and i played 17 years. guarantee you some of the balls are a little more deflated than others and some are overinflated. to tell you i think that tom -- maybe he knew about it. but at the same time, i didn't know that actually check the balls before the game. so this is a surprise to me, to be honest. >> you didn't walk around. >> no. this up with's okay. let's throw it. >> you needed to be throwing touchdowns, huh? >> that's it. >> this is just the latest indianapolis den incident in an extremely troimps yal year for the nfl. ray rice incident, adrian peterson incidents. great revenue coming in. what do you think the state of the nfl here? >> popular but there's questions.

troy aikman also quarterback in the legal, hall of fame career quote.'t imagine tom brady did not know. my guess is it was his request. end quote. more on this when belichik appears. this will be one of the more intriguing press conferences. martha: we'll take you there live but from the meantime we'll take you teen interesting information. one day after veto threats the president tells the republicans they better go along with his requests because noise not an option for them. >> i note there are republicans who disagree with my approach. i could see that from their body language. my job is to put forward what is best for america. the job of congress is to put forward ideas but they have to be ideas. they can't just be no. martha: alan colmes and monica crowley are here. he said no three times. he said i will say no to healthcare. i will say no -- if you it on my desk i'll say no. >> the republican party has been saying no to him for six years. joni ernst said repeal and replace. replace with what? they offered nothing other than we don't like obama's

troy aikman had a comment about this.ms not knowing what her tennis racket is calibrated to. tom brady make as living on the football. he knows the pressure and how he handles it. >> where is the nfl? how long till they speak out? will it be after the super bowl? >> i don't think they want to wrap it up before the super bowl. i think it will be delayed until after the game. i think they will address this rule. it doesn't make sense the teams are bringing their own game. it is an easy fix where you regulate the balls and make it come straight from the league. in terms of the patriots if there is a punishment that is going to be a long process. the patriots will obviously appeal and there is a lot the nfl to prove. you will not see equipment manager deflating the ball. it doesn't exist. >> we will see if it hurts them fuels them or hangs over there heads at the super bowl. >> it all changed nine years ago. that is the way used to to de. >> and brady and manning were instrumental in that ruling. jon scott is here today stand

. >> strong statements from troy aikman. wow. >> and is there something that we can expect for the super bowl. >> we're on day four of this controversy. the nfl has not reacted at all. i would say it would be highly doubtful they would do anything to penalize the patriots prior to the super bowl. unless somebody came out with some absolute concrete evidence that yes they premeditatedly cheated and they had you know evidence that couldn't be reputed. >> mark, thank you. >>> well student athletes at tom brady's high school alma mater are being banned from posting -- the football team forfeited a consolation game against milpitas last month. he made the decision to avoid player injury. the commissioner has now banned all sports through postseason blame through the spring of 2016. >>> a committee of two plans to decide if tens of thousands of students at the university of california will have to pay higher tuition. at a meeting in san francisco today. the board of regents approved a committee made up of just two people. uc presi

troy aikman called him out. >> how do you know he's lying? hold on. have you conducted your own investigation? >> well i said i don't think i was cheating. and he said, well i've never cheated. and then he said i like the ball pressure at 12.5 pound but he doesn't know what the ball pressure was during the football game. spare me. he is not honest. and i have not played the position of quarterback it the a professional level. as a kid i did obviously. however, troy being aaikman has mark brunell has. you know when you touch a football, i don't know if you play golf, when i pick up a different club or i hit a different golf ball, i know the difference and i'm not a pro. he knows he's been playing football for over 20 years, the feel of the football. and i do not believe tom brady for a second. and bill belichick, he lied before. he's lying again. >> for those that don't follow football that closely in 2007, belichick had to pay a fine because the patriots were using videotape to steal defense suffer signals from the opposeing team. but you've both admi

troy aikman basically said brady is guilty. he had to know. i don't know.now, i guess. >> one of the more interesting things was, when this was apparently discovered by the colts, after an intercepted pass, think of it in these terms. if the ball is deflated so tom can throw the ball better and then a pass is intercepted with a deflated ball? maybe go to the overinflated ball. maybe that's the answer. this thing is just insane. >> jimmy: it's also possible tom brady is protecting some ball boy or some equipment manager, yes? >> but that's dangerous, because some kid will go, hey, here's $20,000, come talk to us and give us the truth. i have no idea what happened with this thing. think about this. this is going to be a great game. and the game is a week from sunday. i guess it will die down by then. >> jimmy: it probably will. >> but it's insane right now. >> jimmy: yeah, i know. because you know why? there is nothing else to talk about. >> i'll tell you what it is. football has now become a complete national obsession. it's -- i mean, think about this. they

troy aikman a very astute guy, and i say when another man says to me i didn't do that that means something to somebody like bill belichick or tom brady who i really like that said i didn't p do it. i'm just going to stay with that. you know, because i don't want to be confronting a man saying you know you're a liar. i'm not going to say that to tom. i heard what tom said. i'm going to accept that. you know i don't blame him for reaching in if it ball felt better than the other. you go i'm taking this one. that's what you do. that's why there's 12 in there. now, you know you can get into the details of it but fundamentally when a man says to me, i didn't do that i accept it. >> you want to leave it there? anthony anthony? >> i'm interested to see how roger goodell handles it with up and downs and trepidation with him as commissioner and a lot of things he said he has not held true to. being a saints found with bountygate we were punished in a way that set a benchmark for the rest of the nfl. i want to see him stay on that line. >> kevin costner, what's next? >> i hope i end up making a cowb
