and for years they have said they need more consistency and roger goodell set himself up at george andjury. and then his judgment has come into major question in the ray rice case and will come under scrutiny here, depending on what happens coming forward. >> i want to go on further. rachel, you did a great interview with floyd mayweather. he will make more than $40 million this weekend despite domestic abuse problems. >> why should fans root for you with this kind of history, you went to jail for the mother of your three children showed some bruising and the children gave them a detailed description of the abuse. there is documentation. >> once again, no pictures, just hearsay and allegations. and i signed a plea bargain, so once again, not true. >> are we really supposed to believe all of these women are lying, including the incidents when there are witnesses like your own kids? >> everybody is entitled to their opinions. when it is all said and done, only god can judge me. >> that is not a contrite person at all, assuming something happened here. does the whole sports world have the

>> first and foremost, roger goode goodell'ses from conference was a train rec. it reminded me of seeing george. bush attempt to explain the difference between sunni and shy a oig in iraq. yet the report was every worse. it's not only a look at the way in which the baltimore ravens knew what ray rice had done in that elevator, chose to objects if objects if i indicate it and chose to get him the smallest possible punishment, it's also a look at the way roger goodell does business. it's on augusta national golf course. wonder what they discussed over the summer. and then roger goodell just says two games and that's the problem with roger goodell. it's arbitrary, it's capricious and all on him. there is nothing collectively bargained that says what happens when you commit an act like domestic violence. and like i said, he is in over his head. >> but is it all on him? i think one of the things that was the most shocking to me, so far the owner has gotten off the hook. if you have the team other than knowing exactly what happened in that elevate it toelevator, pusr leniency for a player, shouldn't

commissioner roger goodell rakes his silence after one of the worst two-week stretches his lead has ever seen. steve comes up next with ro cheryl: so appropriate on so many levels. georgea greater compliment. raking the silence today on the domestic violence scandal, apologizing for handling the cases of ray rice, adrian peterson and others, vowing to change policies and help domestic violence victims in the future. joining me tonight is steve olenick, he is a sports professional and robin lundberg. i want to start with you, steve. the players. we are used to bad behavior by athletes. what do you say? >> one, if you look at the press conference today, that was a joke in my personal opinion. and he put all these programs in place, roger goodell, but what is he doing? the judge and the jury of the nfl. why are you not taking accountability? put some of that money aside and give it to a non-profit. give it back to the nfl. cheryl: what do you think the fans want the? >> sometimes there is this mentality understanding what they want to do exactly what i would like to see them do is say this is our plan of action and follow through with it. but he has 10 days and this is wh

george herbert walker bush many months to put that together. and there are others who say we don't have the months to do it because as mike rogers said, this clock started on this a long time ago. however, you can't just fly f-16s and f-18s over mosul and fallujah and liberate cities. they have to be liberated on the ground, and we're not going to do it. maybe we should, but we're not. i don't think we should. in any case, we're not. therefore, we're either going to get arab armies involved, or those cities are going to remain in isis hands. >> george is pointing out an important reality about the pressure on president obama to act, and yet it seems his options are very difficult. i want to play a bite from senator dianne feinstein, chairs the intelligence committee, and get juan to react. listen. >> i think i've learned one thing about this president, and that is he's very cautious. maybe in this instance too cautious. i do know that the military, i know that the state department, i know that others have been putting plans together. and so hopefully those plans will coalesce into a strategy that can encourage that coalition. >> so juan, the exc

go, the job you hold, george martin, the players union, said something along the lines of maybe it's time to change things up a little bit and take some of the power away from rogeragree with that? >> i think it should be shifted. i don't think roger should sit as judge, jury and executioner. that doesn't work particularly well. he's admitted he's blown it. i think there should be some independence, some outside force that should be looking at these things objectively, which is i think the key word. and making a decision based upon the findings that they have. >> thank you so much for coming in. i'm going to ask if i could take a little bit more time. we're down to the wire on the report. but the reports -- you said it yourself. the hits keep coming. adrian peterson dealing with a second issue of child abuse. how is it that goodell stays silent effectively to the public on this, that he plays again this sun -- all of this seems to be such an image crisis if not a protocol crisis -- how is this going to resolve? >> first of all, if you realize it, this is a unilateral situation that roger's handling solo. and the noise not coming from the nfl players association i

roger goodell? we should be thinking about it a lot more globalrily, i think. >> george martin, if we were talking aboutformance-enhancing drugs right now, the rationale, maybe i had something to do with it, it would never fly. that person would go down. now they're saying should roger goodell go down? i am not naive enough to believe there's a chance he's going to go down, because the owners control his fate. here's my question, goodell has said over and over again, for instance when he punished sean payton, the new orleans saints coach, if you didn't know, you should have known. i'm suspending you for a year. where is that level of accountability with him? >> what goes around should come around. here we have a situation where the league is denying having seen the video and as such, they feel as if they don't have any responsibility. but i say bunk to that. i think number one, that they should look at this as a larger context. i mean first of all, they issued obviously a sentence against ray and then they came back and somewhat of a double-jeopardy, now they're, they've totally disallowed him to play.

whether rice, peterson, hardy, mcdonnell or roger goodell's woes, one thing the nfl cannot deny is they have a pr problem. >> that's true. let's turn to georgerk giants. many martin, author of the book "just around the bend." a journey of 9-11. let's talk off all news items and let people know where everything stands. roger goodell, does he go? >> he does not go. i'm sure this is his version of groundhog day. deja vu all over. in the grand scheme of things, roger has enough clout among the 32 owner who is are billionai s billionaires, i think he'll sustain this. it's time to change their at this. let's look at how can we turn this to something positive? that's what the nfl is going to do eventually. >> keith, do you agree? is there argument he should go? >> there's something of an argument he should go. i don't think he's going the go. he has may too much clout among the owners. he's done so much good for the league definitely in terms of how much money they make. that's ultimately the bottom line. >> now we get to george's proposition. how do we make things change? ray rice is going to litigate the suspension. i say he's going to win. the d

george, lara. >> thank you. and so much conversation on social media about the commissioner right now. do you think that nfl commissioner roger goodell should step down? tweet us using #social square. >>> and the prison escape by the ohio school shooter who killed three classmates in 2012. he was caught after tense moments that had the region on alert. alex perez is on the scene. >> reporter: good morning, a long night for people here. the inmates scaled the perimeter fence and got out, leading authorities on a long, frantic overnight manhunt. the 19-year-old convict is serving three life sentences for killing three students in 2012, breaking out of the correctional facility in lyea thuday night with two others. >> scaled the perimeter fence. >> reporter: authorities quickly apprehended one of the men nearby, but lane and another inmate were able to get away. officers with k-9s and helicopters were searching the woods around the prison. then at 1:20 a.m. -- >> which inmate? >> i believe the young one. t.j. lane. he's in custody. >> reporter: authorities located lane, apparently armed with a pitch fork just 100 yards away from

> and, christine, roger goodell bringing in a lot of high-profile female executives, top executives now. what difference will they make? >> i hope they make a lot of difference, george. i think everyone does. the nfl could be a leader in this area. we haven't heard from major league baseball, the nhl, nba, we certainly know, logic tells us there are abusers in those leagues right now. hopefully not and hopefully they won't do anything bad, but this is such a watershed moment, not only for sports, but our country and i think the problem i think so many people have, george, with goodell is that he's talking about what they're going to do, well, in fact, they've already funded the domestic violence hot line. they announced that the other day but that got lost in the shuffle. i'm not for a moment defending the national football league. it's been a disastrous, what, six, eight weeks for the national football league. but if this is the league with these women in charge who can move this country forward on this issue, then that is a huge positive step. >> bottom line, robert smith, will roger goodell be commissioner one year from now? >> i think he will, and i think it's i

george washington along with a silver plate from the house. there are two additional 1814 letters of dolley's from that fall. both are addressed to women friends. in the fall, undated, dolley sent minerva rogers a quote, pure wine saved from the president's house the morning of its destruction. rumors had spread after the invasion that the soldiers had drunk all the wine and that none was left. this leaves us to wonder whether dolley was giving out bottles of salvaged wine to make the point the rumors were only that, rumors, and that the president and his household were braving the circumstances and doing well. perhaps it was simply a gesture of warm regard to a woman friend. regardless, the president's wine, like the government and the country, had survived. on december 3rd, 1814, dolley wrote mary elizabeth hazel, wife of the architect benjamin henry latrobe and the daughter of a philadelphia merchant. the two men -- the two women had been friends from the 1780s and the 1790s when dolley lived in philadelphia and mary elizabeth had very much been a partner in decorating the president's mansion although like mrs. eames, a couple 150 years later, she was left out of the written picture. dolle

roger goodell, hand -- >> his lawyers will read this book. >> washington d.c. we have a professional football team that has been resistant to change probably since they moved here, became a bad team, george president marshall was a white supremacist big debt. he refused to integrate the team, african-american player for 15 years after the lead integrated. he only did it because he was forced to by the federal government because rfk stadium is on federal lands department of interior. his allies included the american ic party who picketed outside 62 outside d.c. stadium. now we have controversy with a football team, and george preston marshall, dan snyder refuses to change racial slur to the football team. and grow up with the team on the issue and did research as a counselor, the redskin facts that you pay p r. >> what is your question? >> my question is what is it going to take, i was wondering why you decided to use the r word and what will it take to change the dictionary definition of football -- racial slur in the football team? >> part of the point is you are a fan of the washington team? >> i cannot route for the team until they change the name. i made that decision a couple years
