new england patriots tight end aaron hernandez was denied bail today after the new england patriots dropped him yesterday. erichow do you have a $40 million contract and blow it on something so -- not that murder is stupid -- but a stupid decision to kill your supposed friend odin lloyd and throw it all away? >> the point -- i pitched the story this morning. we have to talk about it. not because the audience needs to know the details of the story. read the details. they are incredible. gangland-style murder by a 23-year-old with a couple of friends, takes a guy in a field and shoots him point blank. the interesting thing for me about the case is how a kid, 23 years old, nfl star, has everything every kid on the planet wants to be -- a star, a football hero. every parent wants their kid to be a superstar like this. has it in the palm of his hands and lets it slip away. what makes him do that? baffling. >> these guys are coddled from the time they are good athletes in college. they are given special classeses that are much below the normal classes. they are given graduate assistants to help with homework. they a

does that, aaron, suggest that the public is on eric holder's side on this?you know, i actually think the wording of that question, i think if you asked a lot of journalists whether they agree with that, they would say yes, in fact if media organizations are in fact engaging in something that hurts national security, there should be an investigation into that. i think the problem with the james rosen scenario in particular is that this is a guy who, according to the department of justice, was listed as a co-conspirator, and also the story that he was reporting on, it's not exactly clear what in that report impacted national security in an adverse way. i think the administration, the justice department needs to make the case that this in fact was a very important story that james rosen was writing, and why they felt they needed to list him as a co-conspirator in this case in order to get the ability to look into his e-mails and otherwise look into him. >> you know, for what it's worth, i have to say, on a very conscience level, when we're doing stories that de
