brady has questions to answer. charlie: you have any idea how the patriots or tom will respond? peter: bob kraft, the owner of the patriots, is between defiance and despond. defiant that he has been told by bill belichick and tom brady absolutely unequivocally we had no idea what was going on and we do not do this. brady has basically said nothing had happened. i did not do this. bob kraft, that is not his thing. i would never say never. kraft, everything he is done with a franchise has been about trying to do something to keep the team in new england, first of all. and secondly to give the people of new england team they could be proud of. that is why it hurts them. charlie: have you talked to him? peter: i have had a conversation with him but nothing on the record or nothing reportable. i am hoping in the coming days to speak to him. charlie: is there any idea of what brady is going to do? willie have a press conference or a conversation -- will he have a press conference or a conversation? peter: i do not know what he will do. it is incumbent on him to do something. charlie: does he hav

brady. in fact the team was excused from this. the ownership, bobck, even the equipment manager found not guilty of any participation. how does the nfl defend this massive punishment? >> circumstantial evidence isn't bad evidence, but it still has to be good evidence if we're requesting to deal with circumstantial evidence. here patriots would say you have circumstantial evidence of what. where is the evidence that there was tampering with the footballs on january 18 against the colts. and that's where the science gets a little bit fish which i for the nfl. because there were two pressure gauges used that day that had a spread of up to 0.45 pounds per square inch. and you're talking about not many differences in the footballs as it relates to what the weather would have predicted that day. so i think the patriots look at this and say there is no smoking gun, no clear evidence. and everything else is just conjecture. maybe it's evidence of things that shouldn't have happened in the past but no evidence that on january 18 this actually happened. and t

brady was aware. patriot's owner bob kraft pushed back.

coincidence because when the punishment came down last night the owner of the patriots bob kraft, the agent for tom bradyt what was done in terms of punishment and he said in response to this and basically what ted well said in this call is the league, when this first began and received a complaint from the indianapolis colts about potentially deflated balls, the league didn't take it that seriously, didn't expect to find anything. didn't launch his investigation. this was not a sting as the patriots alleged. he said tom brady is iconic did not go into this to muddy tom brady's reputation but he said two things two things in the course of this investigation jumped out at him. number one he said is when he discovered the text messages involving jim mcnally who had access to the balls, the patriots employee who had access to the balls before the game, when he discovered the text messages in which mcnally referred to himself as the deflator wells then asked for a follow-up interview with mcnally and at that point essentially the patriots stonewalled, wouldn't make him available. he said that's very suspicio

clear in other investigations they don't like stone walling and this was partially a stone wall by brady. >> bob's response read incredibly harsh. >> considering the relationship between kraft and goodell historically. he has been one of the biggest backers it stood out as being harsh. he said we are prepared to accept just about any discipline but this went even too far for us us. >> does this have impact on brady as a spokesperson? under armour? their image? >> so me that is minimal. in the places he is popular, he's as popular as ever. >> he's hated as much as ever. we are here in the month of may and it tells me how far ahead they are. >> does that change? the kraft was a great supporter could you see the whole kingdom un unravel? >> it could short-term. >> they're all in on it. they know what both sides need to do. >> >> so you're saying it was -- >> no it's not as board of directors as boxing. at least football and hockey the puck bounces around. you can't plan everything. >> crucial to all of this there's still no doubt that they would have won otherwise, right? >> there's no doubt about

thing i would ever suggest to a client because what happens is, that tom brady's had a pristine reputation, been a golden boy, bob kraft's an awesome owner, it's not like the commissioner wanted to do this, but every single time this issue is brought up, it's going to conflate brady cheating, brady, cheating, in every headline. it does more harm. >> i say you're right, don't go ahead and fight this or, you know, appeal. sue, tom brady. go ahead and sue in court, because then you're going to be compelled to turn over all that discovery and all those devices and texts. rachel, i need to ask you about the two guys who got fired. what happened to standing by your man, their little man? >> yeah. look, that's part of the domino here people saying if the patriots suspended these guys without pay, it seems like they may know that they did something wrong and then that kind of wrecks the rest of their case where they said they did nothing wrong. that's a lot of supposition. we don't know that. a lot of people around the league who say look, they had to treat the patriotses the same way they would treat any of the other 32

tom brady's agent says the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. boby cow is this something to believe. >> it's all over the internet. >> it's interesting. i do think four games is way too much. i really do. >> he's going to appeal. >> he is. but willie said something interesting. i do believe he should turn over his text messages and e-mails. his employer they're investigating. if nbc was investigating us -- >> i'm not giving them my phone either. >> well, rebel. >> not my private phone. >> just the text messages related to the investigation. it's not like they're going to comb all over those. there would be incriminating evidence on you. >> yeah. i believe you're not going to read anything but the ones you're supposed to read. >> doing basically what hillary clinton did. i'll give the e-mails i want to give. you extract the e-mails and say these are what i'm allowing you to read. that's my only iffy point of this. >> you're right. >> if you want to clear your legacy and name, then i guess you do that. >> but here are the text messages from that day.

brady is appealing it. that's the more important issue to bob kraft, not the money. >> he did not comment about whether or notremove himself, speaking of goodell, remove himself from personally hearing the appeal of tom brady. that's where it stands right now. it will not go to an arbitrator. >> the nfl has so many problems. i applaud them now that they are going to start paying taxes. that's a good thing. after all this business about domestic abuse, concussions, the one who imposes the penalty is the judge and jury i think it would be smart if roger goodell would farm this out to somebody else. he's been doged by so much criticism in the nfl. this may be a good way to share the criticism. maybe that would restore the confidence in the process. for me i still can't figure out how these referees got off so easy. they got warned the day before this game against the colts. they got an e-mail that said check to see if the balls are deflated. the officials, they get off the hook. if i were goodell, i would farm this out to be decided. >> a lot of unanswered questions. breaking news happening right now. because yo

brady and deflategate. stephanie gosk joins me. this comes after bobpeal the decision against the team. now all the attention goes to tom brady. >> it does. that statement yesterday from bob kraft probably came as a bit of a surprise to a lot of people. the patriots have come out and said they disagreed with the investigation, and kraft yesterday himself said he thought the punishment was heavy-handed and unprecedented. he also said it is time for moving on from what he called the angry rhetoric of the last four months. he said it was his responsibility, he described himself as a man who measures nine time and cuts once. his decision it was his responsibility to the league to come out and say that they weren't going to appeal this. but is it really going to put things in the past? that's the question. and you touched on tom brady. he is appealing his punishment. so this is going to continue to be a story. >> he's a little about on an island now. what are we expecting from the news conference? >> well, goodell will definitely be asked about this. and we

brady was in on this. they think tom is lying to them. that's never a good thing. bob craft came out and said they're not going to contest whatever sanctions are. maybe tom brady could, but the team is going to go along with whatever sanctions are levied here. that kind of leaves it waiting for the next shoe to drop with what the league is going to do. >> this would not change the outcome of the afc game or obviously the super bowl. >> no the super bowl clearly was played by all even. there's no tampering with footballs in the super bowl. the home game in the playoffs ravens may ask the question. baltimore lost to the patriots in a bad weather game. patriots have enemies all over the place. they're lining up now to say this is what these guys d. >> do we think it's specific to boston patriots or common knowledge throughout the league? >> that's part of the defense. patriot fans will use that. everyone is doing it. quarterbacks talk about how they like the footballs. it wouldn't be unusual for other organizations to engage. it doesn't help the patriots. if everyone is s
