roger goodell stood by his guns. initially, i thought it would be reduced to a two-game suspension, that was before me knowing about tom brady destroying his phone. that's admitting you are guilty. if you destroy the evidence that's needed to make a correct judgment, you pretty much say you did it. i wish roger goodell will be this strong and uphold decisions in more cases like, this like the greg hardy case. liz: people are saying, well, he always destroys his cell phones, but that's what celebrities do, really? >> look, i've changed my phone several times in the course. i'm not a celebrity whatsoever. liz: yeah, you are. >> i can't think of any time i've gotten rid of a phone, and i've had things that could be damning evidence of things that have been on my cell phone that i didn't even think about destroying. so for tom brady to come out and it's a great excuse and i'm sure he's going to use this in the court if he takes it to the next level, which everybody says he is, how many times have you, liz, erik, gotten r

roger goodell also revealed today that brady destroyed a cell phone containing evidence that investigators wanted to see. goodell upheld brady's four-game suspension, the penalty originally handed down for a scheme to under-inflate footballs, apparently to make them easier to handle. we have more now from our cbs news special correspondent james brown. >> reporter: after five weeks of speculation about the fate of the superstar quarterback nfl commissioner roger goodell left no doubt about his view of brady's guilt stating the evidence proves, "that mr. brady knew about approved of, consented to and provided inducements and rewards in support of a scheme" to tamper with game balls. the league released new evidence that brady had his cell phone destroys descroid. the league had asked for the phone in mid-february. brady had his assistant destroy it on march 6. brady said that he routinely recycles his phone but it was destroyed the day brady met with the nfl lead investigator ted wells. he did not inform the league until june 18. today's decision comes seven months after brady and the patri

roger goodell says new information about brady's phone sealed the deal.formation the commissioner says on the day on or before the day brady met with the league's investigators the quarterback told his assistant to destroy the phone. tom brady didn't even destroy his own phone. he told his assistant droitestroy my phone. because belichick, i don't know. the commissioner says brady new about the phone. trace gallagher has more. he knew they wanted the phone, his assistant destroyed the phone that sounds like enough. >> roger goodell served as the sole arbitrator for the hearing in june. the independent investigator who initially found that tom brady likely knew the footballs were being deflated. brady's lawyers says wells did not offer proof that brady had any knowledge of the air being let out of the balls. now you have the bombshell, the commissioner saying look in fact the reason we're upholding the punishment is that instead of turning over the cell phone, brady ordered the phone be destroyed. he says his deliberate destruction of relevant evidence wen

betty: goodell has a good relationship with the owners.g the scandal with ray rice you saw owners, including robert kraft, come out in support of goodell and his decision. is this the break that might jeopardize the dell -- goodell. kavitha: you can see the disciplinary process in the nfl is haphazard. very arbitrary. roger goodell as unchecked power. it is a farce that he is his own arbitrator. on the other hand, this is what owners agreed to. a little tone deaf for robert kraft to come out and say he regrets putting faith in the league as he has been against neutral arbitration. input himself in a situation that sense. it is interesting to see someone as ingrained as robert kraft start to break from that. betty: he is fine with it as long as it does not come down on him. what about for brady himself? kavitha: i think brady is trying to maintain his marketability and his legacy. there was a report saying the nfl considered having his games total if he came out and publicly apologized . there is a report saying he refused to do that. betty

roger goodell and bob kraft have been very close allies for many years.ft was probably the closest ally with roger goodell in things that have led to suspicion over the years to other owners. that's sort of the back story here. the question is what is kraft trying to achieve going after goodell, in going after the league so intensely? he accepted a few months ago the penalties that the league the nfl, imposed on the new england patriots as an organization because of deflategate. those penalties included a fine of a million dollars and loss of a draft pick. bob said look i accepted those penalties back then because i believed it would ease the way in the hopes that this four-game suspension of tom brady could go away. he now thinks that's a mistake. so here's the question. is there some legal avenue that bob kraft could now pursue or by accepting those penalties a few months ago, did he effectively take the legal option off the table going forward. the other possibility here, too is look. we're getting out of the nfl season. the players are here today comi

is confirming the decision that roger goodell engineered to begin with. not exactly sure this curious arrangement whereby the litigator of the punishment is also the judge who approves the sentencing. >> you know, that's odd to us as lawyers, but it comes from the collective bargaining agreement which tom, as a member of the union, is bound by. >> i hope that they can put it behind them. i expect that they will. there's so much money at stake. but more than that, all these broken hearts of all these youngsters. trish trevor hey, i'm a new england fan. i grew up in this territory, and the patriots are a big, big deal. but, you know, let's not forget they, peter schrager, had a history of this. this has been talked about before. >> yeah, of course. you go back to spygate with belichick and there's always a cloud of mystery around how they skirt the rules. football insiders will tell you the game against the ravens that was an illegal formation that was technically legal by the rulebook, but they were running something no one had ever seen before really set

there's no time table for a ruling said goodell. said goodell is trying to recover from last season's controversies over the handling of domestic allegations against ray rice and adrian peterson. >> the nfl is looking for a win here. by a win, i mean, some sort of suspension. >> a story cites unnamed league sources is saying the nfl believes that's possible. but analysts see the quarterback doesn't want to acknowledge any wrong doing at the presuper bowl news conference in january he was asked if he was a cheater. >> i don't believe so. i feel like i play within the rules. >> the nfl wouldn't comment. brady's agent didn't respond to e-mails. as the patriots prepare to defend their super bowl crown. the biggest ways could be off the field. for "today" nbc news john yang chicago. >>> sticking with sports we're talking basketball. the basketball player whose comments on the multimillion salary my cut hurt. >>mine hurt more. >>mine stopped hurting faster! neosporin plus pain relief starts relieving pain faster and kills more types of in

first of all, roger goodell has handed out these arbitrary punishments. ray rice got a two-game suspension for knocking out his wife. tom brady gets a four-game suspension for supposedly deflating footballs or ordering people to deflate footballs. plus there is no evidence because the texts are gone. >> right. i think that's a big problem for the public adrian peterson can play. greg hardy, if those of us who are familiar with it read the transcript of what went on in his situation. ray rice has basically been banished from the nfl, whether it's because of what roger goodell demanded or the reality of the pr associated with signing someone like ray rice. but he deflated footballs and he is now not going to play. the fact that it's in the same conversation is somewhat inherently hypocritical and i think that's a problem for the nfl. >> thanks to both of you. i appreciate it. >>> in just about 30 minutes the secretary of state john kerry and other top obama administration officials will be on capitol hill addressing the senate armed services committee as th

playoff game. >> goodell refused to shorten brady's four-game suspension. james brown of cbs sports is in washington with the ruling and this new response. j.b., he's fighting back. good morning. >> good morning. tom brady is not backing down. he responded this morning to allegations he destroyed his cell phone to hide evidence with an empattic message on his facebook page where he said there is no smoking gun and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence. he says i have never written, texted e-mailed to anybody at any time anything relating to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the afc championship game in january. to suggest that i destroyed a phone to avoid giving the nfl information it requested is completely wrong. despite brady's claims roger goodell viewed the destrction of the cell phone as yet another piece of evidence pointing to brady's guilt. >> even though he knew investigators wanted e-mails and texts from his cell phone, brady ordered his assistance to destroy it. something he does w

the lawsuit filed against the league yesterday asking the court to vacate roger goodell's decision. september 4th or injunction allowing brady to play in the season opener. this day comes a day after the management council filed a lawsuit asking a manhattan court to confirm goodell's decision. hours after patriot's owner robert kraft condemned the league for upholding brady's decision. >> the decision handed down by the league yesterday is unmath admissible. i want to apologize to patriots fans and tom brady. i was wrong to put my faith this in the league. given facts, law, science that underscore this entire situation, it is completely incomprehensible to me the league continues to take steps to disparage one of its all time great players and a man for whom i have the upmost respect. personally, this is very sad and disappointing to me. >> head coach bill belichick who followed kraft deflected question. the quarterback did address the situation in facebook defending himself against the nfl that claimed he intentionally destroyed his cell phone during last season's situation. >> is

think this will be between kraft and goodell and it's a major problem.influential owners in the nfl. you can make the argument that he is certainly one of the most powerful owners in the sport. and he's been a really strong supporter of roger goodell. and obviously those days are over. this is highly very unhealthy. for the league to have a key owner this frustrated, this angry. and for good reason. >> this is an unprecedented situation where you've got an owner in an nfl p.a. and a superstar player all fighting the nfl going into the season. >> when all the front pages, some of the front pages draw attention to the fact that brady destroyed his cell phone what is everybody supposed to make of that? how can goodell ignore that fact and still keep the reputation of the nfl intact? >> i don't recommend ignoring it. for that reason you should fine him. the fine is about $500,000 a game. that's pretty significant for destroying your phone. worst-case scenario if he destroyed his phone, in my opinion it doesn't merit anything more than a fine and certainly no

that roger goodell heard the appeal of tom brady, even though roger goodell was called as a witness in the appeal that he was the judge of. so they are about to go to court on this. and that is what they are going on file on. that procedure. not did he or did he not destroy the cell phone or did he or did he not deflate footballs? >> the nfl players union has always been the most inxenlt of all the big professional unions. if they didn't hike this procedure where goodell reviews his own decision, they should not have agreed to a collective bargaining agreement which allows goodell to review his own agreement. it just seem to me that they ought to take their medicine. they could have diffused this controversy from the very beginning by simply admitting what they did. instead, they're turning this into world war three. the patriots, the union and brady himself. and they keep losing. >> we're going to keep going with this. this is now in the courts. and the nfl has indeed filed a claim that they are confirming the suspension in new york. the reason they did that, new york they feel is goi

goodell's view, this is another incident pointing to his guilt. tom brady ordered his assistant to destroy it, something he says he does whenever he gets a new one. brady had the phone for just four months at that point and roger goodell pointedly noted his previous cell phone was still around. he concluded brady, quote, made a deliberate effort to ensure investigators never would have access to the information he was asked to produce. a sports columnist said brady's phone with about 10,000 text messages was a key piece of evidence. >> if you're not guilty, you had no knowledge, no role in this, why would you destroy your cell phone. >> reporter: goodell said scientific tests prove that the ball did not deflate from natural causes. he added the four-game suspension was justified because he was in a scheme to tamper with the game balls. he told reporters he did nothing wrong. >> i have no knowledge of anything. >> are you comfortable that nobody did anything wrong? >> yeah, i'm very comfortable saying that. >> reporter: they say he ignored due proc

obviously tom brady wanted someone more independent but goodell decided he will do it himself.s was something agreed to in the collective bargaining agreement, several collective-bargaining agreements. to complain about this now seems a little bit outdated. they had a chance to bring in an independent arbitrator for the appeals but that went by the wayside in 2011. we have had cases like the ray rice appeal where the commissioner recused himself had another person sit in. this was too big. a handle that and will continue to handle it. the thing is will we have an appeal if he does not get the decision he wants based on goodell not being impartial? that is down the road. olivia: you think there's pressure on the commissioner at this point because this is one of many blemishes. you mentioned ray rice. is there pressure on goodell to appear like he is not doing any favors for football's golden boy? andrew: what is the job of the commissioner? who does you report to? the reports -- he reports to the owners. this came from the colts. maybe the ravens who played them the week before.

once again nfl commissioner roger goodell because under the collective bargaining agreement goodell can so let me get this straight. the same guy who makes the first decision also decides on the appeal? does that sound right to you? he was asked to recuse himself from the appeal and he refused. i don't know about you but if i was a patriots fan, i would not be happy. one more thing. go pack. good night from new york city. see you tomorrow night. >>> "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. >> make the per item thing work a little better to see how much you can get out of it. >> another shocking undercover video showing another planned parenthood doctor trying to get as much money as possible for selling the organs of aborted babies. >> what do we want? >> meantime outrage growing across the country over planned parenthood getting tax money while participating. these are

. >> i don't know of any allegation of corruption against roger goodell. and i don't know of any allegation of a clerical error here. so the only purpose for the appeal would be, for tom brady to get his version of events out there, but it is unlikely to succeed and it is likely to be dismissed shortly after it is filed. trish: is this perhaps some damage control or some pr control by tom brady and hits camp? >> in my view, tom was unwise to have refused to not cooperated with the investigator below and giving testimony before roger goodell. this is rare case that the person's appeal made case against them stronger, made the case being prosecuted against them stronger because the investigator, ted wells, superb, trial lawyer here in the city and new jersey, did not know that brady destroyed the cell phone. how did roger goodell find out about it? brady told him in his testimony. now that is something that is so prejudicial to tom brady, it should not have come out in that forum. trish: why do you think he told him? >> i think that, i don't know him because

charlie: you have also a relationship issue between an owner and roger goodell. is it permanently impaired or is this a case where an owner and a commissioner who works for him? ken: there are layers here because robert kraft was instrumental in having roger goodell chosen way back when. and rose to his defense during the ray rice affair. he's on the broadcast committee considered the most powerful committee on the nfl. also, he's the owner of the super bowl champions and four of them yes. he's not a random one-off owner. he's 20 plus years in charge of his team. charlie: this is my franchise, even though they have been accused of different things over the years. ken: you have that and the personal relationship they have had over the years straight it's a bit of a father-son relationship. charlie: do you think it is impaired or simply two man who agree to disagree? ken: it's rough around the edges now. the buddy language and the literal language common to have an owner get on tv and say i am mistaken for trusting the league to do the right thing is pretty strong

let's turn to the nfl where the commissioner goodel upheld four game suspension of tom braid what i became known as deflate gate. they say the pat's star quarterback ordered a cell phone destroyed before meeting with investigators, being reported, 10,000 text messages were exchanged on the device over the course of four months. brady's lawyers appealed his suspension during a hearing last month and the patriots have never wave nerd their support of their quarterback the nfl players association previously said if the nfl did not reverse the decision, this woe go to court, insiders say that's exactly what that he plan to do. we'll keep you posted on deflate gate. with 2 million extra people expected to come into philadelphia for the papal visit, people are coming up with some creative ideas foreplays cents to sleep. coming up how one church group is handling the room shortage.

so they say goodell was making this up. how can you have an agreement where the player in question doesn't know what the penalty is and then suddenly be penalized for it. >> rose: the same is true whether you are attacking your wife in an elevator i assume. >> yes. well that's a slightly different-- that's a criminal investigation. and that reflects poorly on the league. >> rose: but there is nothing in whiched league says if you do this some criminal action against your spouse, that you will be suspended for these number of games or whatever. >> yes. and that's why roger goodell came out last summer after the uproar of rea rice getting two games and said for from now on anybody who commits domestic violence will get six games on first offense. the so now the league is trying to patch together its personal conduct policy as it goes along. and they will argue that that is fine going forward but tom brady shouldn't have been penalized the four games for a penalty that didn't exist at the time. or at the very least it should h

goodell alleged brady destroyed his cell phone just before he met with investigators.aid in a statement, smacked him down big time. brady's deliberate destruction of potentially relevant evidence went beyond a mere failure to cooperate in the investigation and supported a finding that he had sought to hide evidence of his own participation in the underlying scheme to alter the footballs. in may the wells report found brady probably knew about footballs being deflated in last season's afc championship game against the colts. or earlier this month nfl players' association sources told a reporter that brady would challenge this ruling in federal court if he lost. for more let me bring in terrence moore, national sports columnist and great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> this is about the worst thing that could happen to tom brady. to have the nfl come out and deliver smack down statement. this other information would have never got out had he have not challenged it. how do you read this, terrence? >> to put this in perspective in more than two years of watergate wat

goodell says brady had his assistant destroy his cell phone and sim card. but brady addresses that accusation directly saying this in his facebook post -- most importantly, i have never written, texted, e-mailed to anybody at any time anything related to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the afc championship game in january. to suggest that i destroyed a phone and to avoid giving the nfl information it requested is completely wrong. let's bring in cnn sports anchor, rachel nichols. i feel again like we need a flowchart to understand exactly how we got to where we are. but it is amazing that when bob kraft came out slammed the league and saying he unequivocally supports brady. >> the story gets more crazy every hour and tom brady coming out with his extensive statement this morning was interesting. but the headline today is now robert kraft. this is the most powerful owner in the nfl.

the four-time super bowl champion wasn't able to change goodell's mind. in fact new details emerged to seal his fate. today, the nfl says that goodell upheld the suspension in part because brady had an assistant destroy his cell phone because he knew investigators wanted to see text messages he changed with staffers. it took months until the quarterback said the phone was destroyed. the four-game ban is har chshharsh. they wanted to make a statement saying the actions constitute integrity of football. brady's first game back will be against the indianapolis colts the team that threw the flag in the first place about the football. brady and the nfl player's union are expected to challenge the league in court. abc news, washington. >>> today, the nation met a woman tackling her way through the gridiron glass ceiling. she is the first to hold a coach position in the nfl. they named her to the coaching staff. it's a six-week internship, but marks a barrier for women in sports. >> i didn't start playing football to be here. i didn't even dream that it would yo

the commissioner roger goodell will be just fine no matter what.tom brady who is the four-time super bowl champion who has players present and former literally saying as great as he is and no doubt a hall of famer we believe he tried to get an unfair advantage and in their eyes that is cheating and the fact you have your contemporaries past and present feeling that way, that is the ultimate indictment for a player, a professional athlete. >> can this keep him out of the hall of fame. >> i don't think so. it could potentially keep him as a first ballot hall-of-famer. i don't think that's going to happen. he's too phenomenal, too great, too accomplished but still when you have your colleague, contemporaries that look at you as if you've been stained and think it is legitimate that's the ultimate indictment against you. >> stephen a. smith, thanks very much. >> thank you. >>> george we want to turn to a frightening scene in pasadena, california. a massive tree crashing down right onto a group of children. abc's kayna whitworth is at the scene for us w

but here we are, tom brady's four-game suspension was upheld yesterday by roger goodell.tant factor in his decision was the fact that brady destroyed his cell phone that contained the text messages that the nfl wanted to get a look at. brady's camp says that he always destroys his old cell phones when he gets a new one, but that didn't really fly with the nfl. brady's agent don yee is calling this entire appeals process with goodell a complete sham and inning that brady has done nothing wrong. this battle is now heading to federal court. an interesting move. the nfl actually filed suit first. they want the case heard in manhattan. while brady's team reportedly wants it in massachusetts or with judge david doughty in minnesota who is known for siding with the nfl players association. >>> to other nfl news. the arizona cardinals introducing jen welter as a member of their coaching staff yesterday. welter will serve as a coaching intern during training camp and helping with the linebackers and she says she is excited to be the first woman on an nfl coaching staff. >> i didn'

>> kudos to rodger goodell for bravely upholding his own decision.ith hole evidence in an investigation, he should not be suspended for 4 games, he should be banned for life, and every achievement he has accomplished on feel should be thrown out. congratulation to seattle seahawks for winning two straight super bowls, end of story. kennedy: what did watergate teach us? not crime but cover-up. >> yeah that cell phone thing is first i heard about that, that is bad. my temptation to say, now we can focus on nfl real problem which is horrible domestic abuse, and dramatic brain injury, but it is good they are upholding this, the suspensions were getting ridiculous, a 30 game. kennedy: i thought may would knock it down to one, i assumed that was a bargaining chip. but it did not. >> it is giving jets fans false hope. >> and shows what a moron tom brady is, destroying your phone does not destroy your text-message. >> i don't think he is one of the brightest bulbs in the shed. kennedy: he sent over 10,000. >> they should be on a server somewhere, they are no
