cbs morning show with nora o'donnell, we will talk about what he knew about that second video, what nfl official did his to obtain it and what is in store for ray rise's future with the league. of course, all of this stems from this newly released video from tmz sports showing the star running back striking his fiance janay palmer in the an elevator. this has prompted local lawmakers to call for a review of the pretrial intervention, program, and this february incident. rice never went to jail for what he did here instead he was entered into a first offender program, where he addressed anger management and paid a small fine. ultimately charges will be dropped as long as rice completes the program but this morning, the spotlight is on the nfl. here's a preview of nora o'donnell's interview with commissioner goodell. >> reporter: did you know that a second tape existed. >> well, we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. we assumed that there was a video, we asked for video but we were never grant that had opportunity. >> so did anyone in the nfl see this second video

the idea that, there were so many things wrong with that interview with nora o'donnell.apparently goodell was the only person in america that found it ambiguous in the elevator. >> a thing to note. mueller will not have subpoena power, or testify under oath to him what happens in these investigations of course. that then allows a lot of things to happen throughout the course. he might not be able to get to the truth. what we have seen throughout all of this, they don't seem particularly interested in giving us the truth. >> ray rice's attorney had the tape. i don't know if cbs knew that at the time they sat down for the interview. there is no explanation for why or even if they tried to get the tape from ray rice's attorneys. >> yeah, exactly. this has been absolutely bungled from the start. and absolute best case scenario, the nfl's fact finding was amazingly shoddy. and i think something that, that this is the most buttoned up organization. they do not make pr gaffes the way leagues do. existentialer to of concussions is one thing. this is kangaroo court stuff. from th

it's something the nfl commissioner seemed to contradict in an interview with cbs news anchor nora o'donnell with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened. >> reporter: but what was ambiguous about her laying unconscious on the floor being dragged out by her feet? >> there was nothing ambiguous about that. that was the result that we saw. we did not know what led up to that. we did not know the details of that. >> goodell told cbs news he does not think his job is on the line, but there are increasing calls for him to step down or be suspended from his $35 million a year job. >> if there is evidence of a coverup with this video or anything else, i don't see how roger goodell keeps his job. >> also today 16 female u.s. senators sent a letter to commissioner goodell calling for a real zero tolerance policy. the new policy would allow a player to return to the game after serving a six game suspension. >> meantime raven fans stand behind ray rice saying his firing and six-game suspension amounts to jeopardy. many say rice deserves a second chance. >> report

all of this contradicts what the nfl commissioner roger goodell told cbs news nora o'donnell yesterdayoodell said the league never received the tape. rob mottie is the reporter who heard the voicemail. >> the voicemail is from an unidentified woman saying that she received the video, thanking the law enforcement official for sending it and telling him he's right, it's terrible. >> still the law enforcement official could not confirm if anyone at the nfl had actually watched this video. >>> well, tonight the nfl released a statement saying "we had no knowledge of this. we are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. the league goes on to say we will look into it ." >>> our coverage continues online. you can find the latest any time at cbsphilly.com. >> a quiet night around the region but it's not going stay that way for long.

just one of the several bizarre statements he made in that interview with nora o'donnell of cbs, and yet another reason why the nfl has embarrassed itself and needs an independent investigation. >> it is just the credibility here getting strained and strained further and further and further. now he comes out and says, no, no, we didn't really get the full story of what happened in the elevator. it was ambiguous. now we have a source who says of course they did. he says no, no, we never saw the tape, never got the tape. there is a very good chain of electronic custody of the fact that they did get their tape in the office whether roger goodell thought it or not. it is harder and harder to believe anything that comes out of the offices. >> and he said in that interview that it would have been illegal for the nfl to obtain the tape in the elevator, which is simply not true. >> well, he was sort of breaking it down. he said it would have been illegal from law enforcement, which of course completely misses the point that there were 30 our wther ways they could ha gotten it. 30 to 40 casin

here is how roger goodell said to nora o'donnell this week on cbs. >> when we met with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened. >> but what was ambiguous about her laying unconscious on the floor, being dragged out by her feet. >> there was nothing ambiguous, that was the result that we saw. we did not know what led up to it. >> how is it that this could be ambiguous. >> he was drilling down trying to figure out if it was just him and rice in the room. there were several people in the room, trying to figure out how to get beyond this. they were not trying to figure out what actually happened in the elevator. the alternative narrative is that some of the individuals in the room are friends of rice thinking he is getting a raw deal with this. the alternative narrative, the team owner, he talked about the way he envisioned happening in the elevator, prior to seeing the tmz tape. >> we love ray, so we have a tendency to hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see. and so the -- the misdemeanor, the explanation that she hit him, he hit her wi

all of this in contradiction to what he told nora o'donnell from cbs news earlier in the week saying it was unclear what happened in that elevator. certainly the complaint that was out there from day one of all this indicates that he hit her and rendered her unconscious. all of that is out there. it does raise questions about what goodell was talking about. when he said it wasn't clear. the owner of the -- of the ravens, steve bischotti talked about this and put it in terms, we wanted to bleach thelieve th mutual fight. something happened. she fell over. hilt h hit her head on the railing. was knocked out. with regard to tonight's ravens/steelers game. the pregame show supposed to have video production of rihanna, in the jay-z video.
