why should somebody want to aspire to join the nfl?to mea kids. >> think about what it takes to get to the nfl, the dedicate, intelligence, prowess, athleticism, the beauty in some instances. some of the top players we watch today. richie incognito in this clip is an isolated incident, because we're now seeing a guy -- if you look at the clip, he's talking to mike pouncy. today pouncy represents nothing but support to incognito. >> by jamal, i love the surprised looks on all our faces when people with problematic end of -- incognito was kicked out of two college programs for his anger-related issues. he god into an incident with a coach, he head-butted two people. aaron her najz we now know had problems before his alleged murder accusations. i could name a whole list of players that the nfl either to be criminally problematic or bad behavior on the field. isn't the nfl responsible for hiring, defending and promoting people they know to be bad actors? >> the answer is absolutely yes, it is. i would say we just heard from the dolphins as

that is how the nfl uses it. and it is not just him, there are several other executives who are paid multimillion dollar salaries. >> as you said earlier, this whole area has to do with the coaches and the cult of coaches in the country. but coaches, you talk about money, you talk about the kind of money that the coach of alabama gets a year. how much does he make? >> nick saban, the coach of alabama, he has won the last two bcs titles. he makes $6 million a year. that is not bad money either. what that equates to is $66,000 per year per scholarship player under his supervision. that is pretty good money. >> how does that happen? does alabama make money for education? >> all of the big football factory programs, there are roughly 50 at this point, florida, alabama, ohio state and so on, they all clear $30 million to $50 million a year on football. that is just in the last 10 years the number has gone up because television rights for college football are currently increasing at a faster pace than the rights fees f

congress should either revoke the nfl antitrust exemption or auction it off and see what the nfl is willingo pay for it. thehat is the motivation on part of congress to make a special case out of some sports team? >> i think congress is cowed by football. football being the king of sports has the greatest cowing effect. football is so popular but there is so much money involved, public subsidies for most of the stadiums and so on, you would think that some populist champion would rise up in congress and say, yes, i love football 20 but let's make these wealthy owners pay their way. that doesn't happen. i think congress is cowed. they provide campaign donations and photo ops. members of congress love to have their pictures taken sitting in the owners box of the hometown teams. that is why we don't see a populist champion rise up. i would always want the nfl to exist and play great games but i want them to stop using public subsidies and show more concern with safety. >> you talk in your book about one of your childhood heroes, the former senator from new york. >> charles caddell, yes. politi

they get an nfl paycheck. that's where the real damage has done. >> why has football been so popular to the united states and not nearly as popular around the world? >> we're the only country that loves gridiron-style football. canada likes it, ice hockey is the national sport there. we're the only country that could pull it off. football is an athletic drepgs of what the united states is. our good and our bad. we can do things that are complicated that nobody else can do. we can put a man on the moon. we can play the games that involve 50 players on each side, each wearing a lot of expensive equipment. we're big, noisy, crazy, we're loud. we're sexy. all of the things that americans are, that's what football is. baseball is a beautiful sport with a nice pastoral elegance to it. it doesn't make you feel like only a crazy american can do this. football gives you that feeling. one thing nice about it. within limits, it's great that football so crazy. that's why only america can pull it off. >> how has the green

but is this the nfl culture? >> i mean it's an nfl culture that varies from team to team.toughest things about this story has been trying to disentangle what is inherently nfl. what is inherently there about the nfl locker room and what is particularly toxic about what has happened in miami. and i think it's worth figuring out what those differences are, so we can challenge what we don't like to change. first and foremost we've got to be clear. being an nfl football player, it's a union job. you're part of the afl-cio. you should not have to feel threatened when you go to work every day. you should not have to hear racial epithets, you should not have to hear about your sister or your mother being abused, that should be unacceptable and that occurs in far too many nfl locker rooms. now that being said, it's also pretty clear that many nfl locker rooms, that kind of nonsense is policed. in the chicago bears locker room, for example, the coaches make it very clear that hazing is not allowed, and yet in the miami dolphins locker room it is allowed. and what you have to point

best record in the nfl. buffalo bills yesterday without scoring a single touchdown on offense, but who cares when your defense can score two touchdowns? you know the chiefs were the worst team in the nfl last season. they won just two games. it's been an improbable turnaround. they have now won nine in a row. their best start in ten years. now the chiefs look ahead to a nice bye week, guys. and then they will be tested because people have said, well, the kansas city chiefs to a 9-0 start and haven't played anybody yet and haven't beat any good teams. they play the denver broncos twice in three weeks so we will see. >> it's hard to beat them twice in three weeks but 9-0 is impressive and no one guessed that. >>> coming up for us next, edward snowden manifest tow of truth is what he is calling it. he is ghademanding the u.s. dro espionage charges against him and why he is suggesting he is is not criminal. >>> a bizarre security breach at o'hare airport. an alligator on the loose in terminal 3! what? wait, wait

typical hazing that happens in the nfl that i think people like you guys are aware of the nfl knew aboutbut this went far further. they went to physical threats, voice mails and text messages involving racial statements leading to an emotional break down. how relevant is this in the nfl, and in sports in particular. >> i've been associated with the informal for the last 30 years. i was in with the golden state warriors for ten years, and i had a lot of dealings with team in the nba. i was with major league baseball for five years and then in all of these sports there is some degree of this kind of thing that goes on. this is an extreme case, but it typically runs a spectrum from having people saying the school songs of the colleges that they came from right up through this, and even worse upon occasion. the thing that has changed is that the technology has eliminated the in-house locker room de portment behavior and so forth and public information. today nobody can be assured that what happens in-house is going to remain in-house. not even the nsa or the cia much less a locker room in th

this could be in the fifth grade or nfl.e of masculinity that's very narrow in its form, very violent in my ways, it's abusive in many ways. but it's not just what's happening in the locker room. you have to look at the toxic masculinity in the collective voices of the nfl. i'm not talking about the league office here in new york, but all the announcers, all the former coaches and players who are all saying that jonathan martin should take this like a man. stand up and be a man, punch him back, like we talked about earlier. all this kind of bravado and tough-guy masculinity. which, by the way, if you take that same logic, someone that feels abused or feels like they've been bullied is justified. take it like a man, stand up and be like a man. take it into your own hands. and so this bravado that you're hearing is not just in the dolphin's locker room, it's throughout, as dave talked about, this culture of masculinity that so many people vicarious live through the nfl and sit down on sunday afternoons and this is where they g

joining me is retired nfl linebackerer and nfl analyst for cbs, bart scott.n is a former nfl player and author of "slow getting up, a story of nfl survival from the bottom of the pile." good to see both of you, good morning. as we wait to see what the nfl finds out from its investigation, i know you've had your own dealings with richie incognito, in fact you called him a fake tough guy, one of the dirtiest if not the dirtiest players around. what were your encounters with him like? >> well, it was tough, you know, because out there it's a brotherhood. we were out there competing against each other but at the end of the day we're all part of the same elite fraternity and there's certain things that are not allowed when playing against each other. eventually with free agency, eventually those guys can become your teammates. some of the things that he did i felt like wasn't in the best interests of the game or the fraternity of being a professional football player. >> we only know what we've heard so far. we haven't really heard both sides of the story fully, al

the union representing nfl players released a statement saying in part, we expect the nfl and its club to create a safe and professional workplace for all players. the nfl players association will insist on a fair investigation for all involved. gary sanders is following the story at the dolphins training camp in south florida. this is quite a talker. everybody has an opinion on this one. >> reporter: everybody does. it begins with a lot of people who initially think of bullying on a school yard where maybe a big boy pushes around somebody else, maybe beats them up. what we're talking about here at the dolphins training camp are men. we're talking about people who are like 300 plus pounds who are paid each week to go on the field and crush the competition. now there are signs this may go beyond bullying. richie incognito was voted in 2009 by fellow players, the dirtiest player in the nfl. >> on the field, players have called me overly aggressive. >> reporter: an image he had been trying to escape, even making light of his public person na in this announcement, urging miami fans to beha

is this just a question of these are adults when they're in the nfl.hey're making their own decisions? >> well, i think that's part of it, you know, they know what they're getting into. they're paid millions of dollars and they make the choice to go play that game, but i think at the nfl and the college level we're trying to institute we're not going to hit with the head anymore, and they're trying to lessen the kind of injuries. the nfl struggles with it every week. a player is fined and suspended. in the college football game if you are hit with a head-to-head hit you are flagged and suspended a game. that's the new targeting rule this year. but the players are not trained to play that way. >> they've got to play through it, that's their job. although that culture does seem to be changing especially in players who are retired but very well-known players, brett favre, tony dorsett, both coming out and telling their stories. brett said he could not remember a soccer season for his daughter as a father of three daughters myself, that's a huge loss, you

or are other nfl teams involved in this kind of stuff as well?e of the things the nfl has done a good job of over the last decade or so, even a little longer is they've eradicated a lot of the harsher bullying. so in the nfl, a lot of this stuff that used to take place as you mentioned, 40, 50 years ago or sooner, is gone. so most of the nfl is pretty, it's some of the stuff still happens, but it's not as bad as it's been, in miami. in miami, it was worse. i don't think around the sport, i don't think what you see in miami is common at all. i think it happens very rarely. that's why the story has gotten so big. because this is something you just don't see all the time in the nfl at all. it harkens back to an era where it did happen, and we thought it was gone. now it's here again. and it's some very ugly disturbing stuff is happening. >> yeah, you see two players, two players for the miami dolphins, one walks away because of the alleged bullying. the other forced to take a leave of absence because of the alleged bullying. that's something you don

but it's the nfl.uys are great, big hulking footballers trained all day long to annihilate them. when one of them suddenly goes native, if you like and says look, oh, no, leave me alone, is he making too much of it? should he choose another sport and get out of it? >> you have to treat it like a workplace. yes, it's a game. yes, they have to be aggressive. but you don't have to emotionally torture someone else, essentially and it wouldn't be tolerated in any other workplace. that's -- i mean, you know, up until not that long ago, we looked at women in the locker room and said, you know, sexual harassment that's just part of the nfl and now we say no. we used to say hey you got concussions, get up, play again. we're looking and saying there are ramifications of this, no. i think, you know, bullying is -- has no place in any workplace and it's not the same as fun pranks that pull you-all together. it's not the same. bullying is not even the same as hazing because it's about picking one individual and rep

there's 1800 nfl players.l games. >> exactly. if my little kid wants to be a big football player and admires them and worships them. i'm concerned that they're teaching my kid a message that i don't want them to have. >> as you said, things must have definitely gone too far in this situation. you have to think, how long has the nfl been around? 40, 50 years? this has never happened before at least to a player where a player had to leave a team. >> so it only happened in miami but no place else, come on. >> you've got to think about this. the nfl locker room is comprised of many different dynamic personalities. the good teams and organizes that have a chance to win year and year out, they manage those personalities successfully with a common goal. to win games and play in the championships. there are a lot of fantastic guys who play in the nfl who do charitable work all over the place with publicity and without. it's like your workplace. everybody in cnn center is not a good person. >> oh, come on. why aren't t

the players, and the nfl.ust bad for everybody. now the nfl suspended official roy ellison after redskins lineman tripp williams said he verbally abused him during last sunday's game. it is a one-game suspension minus pay for ellison who is claiming williams called him a racial slur. as you can imagine he nor the nfl referee association is happy about the suspension here's what they had to say in a statement. quote, the nfl's decision to suspend mr. ellison creates a double standard for what is acceptable on field conduct. the league insisted officials are held to a high standard but others involved in the game are held to no standard. apparently the nfl accepts and condones a culture where players and coaches and teams can use racial slurs and profanities toward each other and at officials. ellison is appealing that league suspension. on the basketball coach the wizards were looking to put together their first three-game winning streak of the season. they seem to be back ontrack. tonight they got derailed aga

. >>> plus, is the nfl scandal really about hazing? a former miami nfl dolphins star fires back. >>> and more on a conspiracy to kill jfk. >> you calling the president a murderer? >> if i'm so far from the truth, why is the fbi bugging our offices? why are witnesses being bought off and murdered? >> now, 50 years later after the event that changed america, oliver stone tells me why he believes that oswald didn't do it alone. >>> more on the elections in new york, new jersey and virginia, cnn reporter joins me, peter, this book, "double down" is creating huge waves in washington, what are the juiciest parts you unearthed in the last for years. >> one big thing that came out, you mentioned chris christie, somebody in the romney campaign apparently turned over their vice presidential vetting file and they put that in the book. one, that is pretty brazen, that never happens, these things usually go in a vault and don't leak. one thing that is perhaps more important as chris christie moves forward and thinks about running, there are more im

is the nfl teflon? does it stick at some point or have they handled this well enough. >> the nfl handled it well enough. seems there's always some sort of controversy, some sort of issue. i think we've gotten numb to it. until it spills over to viewing habit and customer interest in the sport, it's not going to matter. the nfl continues to endure through all of these ups and downs and twists and turns. it's been described to me the nfl is the ultimate reality show, some developments are subplots in what is the reality show. >> one of the biggest sound bites comes from former coach tony dunkee, one of your colleagues, who said he was involved in the decision-making process to pass on richie incognito. he's the one accused of bullying in the dolphins locker room. that was striking to hear someone acknowledge that, he passed because he didn't know richie but knew of richie incognito's past history. did other teams have that same experience? >> i'm sure they did. this is not uncommon. every year when you're

once the nfl investigates and nfl p.a.was dealing with. that on the surface didn't seem like anything to leave a football team over. i will say that. >> bottom line, is this a situation that deserves investigation or are we being hyperpc? >> i think it has to be, with the media attention it's getting, this has to be taking as a responsibility by the nfl. >> is this a problem or hyperpc? >> i think there is a problem but i don't think what we're addressing has very much to do with the problem. you can say it goes back to the locker room leadership. if i was in the locker room and i'd say this situation escalating, i'd say richie, take it easy on the kid. you're pushing him to the point. it's done just like that. >> all right. gentlemen, i appreciate your perspective today. it's complicated. it's going to get more attention. maybe i'll bring you back. please feel free to let us know your thoughts as we go forward. >>> one of the women held captive for a decade in cleveland is speaking out. she's describing in an interview th

now, is everybody a bully in the nfl? certainly not.t it's about the culture, it's about the environment. and i think you're going to see widespread changes. the one thing that's really troubling to me is that jonathan martin walked away from the nfl because he was uncomfortable about the working environment, uncomfortable with his relationship with his teammates. but if he had stepped away because of a drug problem or entered rehab or just, you know, stepped away from the situation and said, you know what, i need help, you know, that would have been a little bit more acceptable than just stepping away saying i have emotional issues and can't deal with my relationship with my teammates. >> you make a great distinction there. omar kelly, thanks so much for your time. >>> up next, duly noted. rand paul's footnotes get him into more trouble and our agenda panel will weigh in on that after this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check? [thinking] i'm still working. he's retired. i hope he's saving. i hope he saved enough. who
