this game and did it happen against the raven, and have they been doing this all season and christine brennand this is our national sport. so this is important. >> and so that is important, and we want to bring in mel robins, and pete najarian, and so, do you think that the temperature makes a difference, and you say that there was an interception and it figured it out. >> and desean jackson had an interception, and they hand it to the coaches and the referees and they said, hey, we thought they deflated balls previously, and looked like they did it previously and baltimore warned about it again, and so there were a lot of reasons that it was checked normally and people don't do it normally. >> and i have these here shgs, and i can tell you to the difference and can you? >> 100%. >> and i was watching mike greenberg on yesterday, and he said that it is tough to, and he said this is what is about the expreg of when he talked about the pat's way or the new england way and when he talked about the difference of the balls, and listen. >> there's an old expression in sports that comes from nascar,

and christine brennan, national sports columnist for usa today, and commentator for abc news.oenix covering the game. i want to start with you. in the short term, deplategate was ate giant witch hunt or lit have longer lasting impact on the integrity of the game beyond this one? >> i don't think it will have any impact on the integrity of the game beyond this one. in fact, i think it worked out to be a -- somewhat of a nice carpet ride for the n.f.l. to keep the conversation going about this particular super bowl matchup, and gave one team a black hat and the other team a white hat. it's amazing we get to the end of the season talking about something as ridiculous as deflated and inflated footballs when we beginning the season talking about very serious issues affecting the league such as dmensic violence and child abuse. >> sreenivasan: christine in your column today you were writing when you walk through the streets, it's like the olympics. not any signs people are thinking about domestic violence and child abuse? >> absolutely and the tv ratings may be higher than before be

. >> i want to bring in christine brennan, "usa today" sports columnist. she joins us by phone. we saw some serious punishments during the scandal with the new orleans saints and, you know the hit lists. do you think tom brady could be even suspended if it's revealed he had anything to do with this and if not, do you think he should be? >> jake it's a great question. i don't think he will be suspended for the super bowl. i think that's of course something on everyone's mind. i think he will play in the super bowl no matter what. but i could see a fine i could even see suspension starting next year. i could see that. i think it depends on what we hear from him and you know as you are preparing for this press conference this has become one of the most important press conferences certainly this year and there have been a lot this year including roger goodell, the ray rice incident. this has exploded as we have watched and covered it the last few days. this is tom brady's reputation his career everything on the line. the golden boy now going to face the toughest 20 30 minutes of his

joining me now is cnn's sports analyst, christine brennan. thanks so much for joining us.t the colts also benefited from these deflated footballs but that's probably not the case you say. why not? >> well there is so much we don't know way more we don't know than we do at this point. i don't know whether to kind of laugh out loud about this or to take it extremely seriously. i think a lot of us are in that position. but if the footballs were deflated slightly and we are not talking about you and i running outside and throwing a football around in january in d.c. we are talking about millimeters that only a professional would know and understand. did the colts get the benefit of those footballs or as i believe it is the footballs are changed and then the colts get their own footballs and they get to use their own. so there are so many questions as you have alluded to. this is an ongoing story. my sense is we are not going to have a resolution to this story before the super bowl which means it will stay with us until the super bowl. >> but if this is true 11 of 12 footballs

i'm joined by "usa today" sports columnist, christine brennan who's in los angeles and attended the roset column about the players' taunting of winston, you write, quote, we should be pleased they know the meaning and impact of the "no means no" phrase and shined a light on a famous man accused of rape. explain what you mean by that. >> i do believe that, of course. the bigger headline for me is that the oregon players should not have done that and the coach has said he will be internally taking care of this and punishing them for it. the reason why is of course they're wearing oregon uniforms representing their school at the rose bowl on national tv you don't taunt another player after the game as a representative of your school. so i do believe they should be punished. but, it's a more nuanced thought here about, go for it anyway. and the idea being that the fact that they knew the term the fact that they were using it to mock jameis winston, the allegations of rape the fact that they were basically ignored for a year by tallahassee police and florida state, it was really an awful turn

joining us today is christine brennan, our cnn commentator lz granderson and gabriel sherman who's writtenxcellent article about goodell for "gq" magazine. christine, what's the biggest challenge facing the commissioner right now? >> wolf i think it is sounding honest sounding truthful sounding like he cares and like there are results coming. and i think that's as rachel pointed out, what didn't happen in september. he has had all this time now to prepare. my sense is he will come out here and be stronger and more forceful. he will be facing a lot of tough questions. and i hope it's not all about deflategate as you alluded to. so much of a minor story, even though it's important, compared to domestic violence the personal conduct policies. huge issues involving the nfl. the nfl is a mirror of our society. >> hold on. here's the commissioner. >> good morning. before getting to your questions, let me make a few comments. first, congratulations to the seahawks and the patriots. they emerged as the best of the best in a terrific year of football. a season of amazing competition and plenty of c

. >> christine brennan, stand by i want to bring into the confers joining us on the phone as well your reaction thus far, the headlines, you did not hear the whole thing, but headlines from the bill belichick press conference saying i, personally, and we as organization followed every rule to a letter saying air pressure is an atmospheric condition. we asked officials to bring the balls up to 12.5 psi. what they did after that i don't know. your reaction? >> caller: well problem is that is through the lens of spygate, and once you've had that happen to your legacy to your franchise, everything you say going forward is just going to be looked at with more scrutiny. had the league not destroyed the tape. had you not been fined the highest amount of money in league history, had you not had the admission of guilt to cheating before perhaps this does get swept under the rug like a mistake of atmospheric pressure whatever but the franchise brought this on themselves. they have to deal with the fallout any time that you're in a position to be called a cheater. you have to address those accusa

some of the analysts i talked to out of this including christine brennan, cnn sports analyst, said this was just surreal. >> reporter: yeah. like you said to start off the top, this was not an expected press conference. we were told by the press people that after practice he just wanted to address the media. bill belichick got up there and basically said look i've spent a lot of time on this in the last week a week in which normally he would be devoting all of his time to prepping for a very big game the super bowl next sunday. but he wanted to find out, basically conduct his own experiment and find out what goes on with the pressure the air pressure inside these footballs. and he said that essentially they did a science experiment. they took footballs and pressurized them to the 12.5 psi, pounds per inch that quarterback tom brady has said he likes his footballs to be pressurized to. and then took them outside in different atmospheric conditions at different times of day, and measured the psi, whether or not it went up and down. and bill belichick says that they found that the the psi
