director bob mueller.eller was hired to review the league's handling of all of the evidence in the rice case, particularly relating to those two videotapes i mentioned. the nfl hopes to have the report, they say, by the super bowl. nfl owners say when they have it, they will make the findings public. >> quijano: bob orr in washington, thank you. now to black friday. many stores opened while thanksgiving dinner was still in the oven. 140 million americans said they may shop during the four-day holiday weekend. sales this month and next are expected to hit nearly $617 billion, more than 4% higher than last year. don dahler checked out the action at the malls. ( cheers ) >> reporter: for some shoppers, the chaos of black friday has become a near obsession. >> it's going great. i got a lot of great deals. >> my friends and i usually stay up all night during the week before thanksgiving and plan it out, scope it out, map out the stores that we need to go to. >> reporter: the demand for tvs was so intense, fight

bob mueller approved of this cooperation personally. they showed me a real bug which is about the size of a postage stamp, a little bit thicker. it will record for 20 hours or transmit, as you wish. so let's say they want to put a bug in an office building. they go to elevator school to learn how to control elevators and they will go in, take control of one of the elevators. they will get on the top of the roof of the elevator ended in the middle of the night to get out, put the bugs in and get back in the elevator and then during the day they will come out wearing business suits and nobody is the wiser. let's say they want to put a bug in the home in the middle of the night. they will take a photo of the front of the house and then blow that up into a huge tarp that they draped over the front of the house so that any bystander walking by on the street in the middle of the night looks at the house and thinks that's the house but actually behind the tarp the agents work to defeat the alarms and defeat the locks. and they put the bugs and
