could this thing unravel on the ravens? you go 0-2 and get that negative energy surrounding your locker room with all the stuff going on. >> reporter: i think it could. it sounds silly to say it could go two ways, of course, it could, but a loss tonight and you just wonder what the locker room is going to be like. everything that has gone on the last few weeks comes to bear and is laid on and they deal with those layers. flip side, we've seen it before with teams. they rally around it and say everyone is out to get us. we're going to show you and they play one of their best games. that's a possibility as well. >> reporter: you talked about this rivalry, but i think we're all in agreement tonight will be more of a classic. the atmosphere is always so intense and amped up anyway for a ravens/steelers rivalry, but so much more tonight. >> reporter: everyone who is watching now spread the story. they've seen your report and all of our reporting. they know what's at stake. so we go from this national conversation that's so impor

mariucci knows by kickoff time the ravens will have heard a lot from coach john harbaugh. >> he will say the right things and put things in perspective and lay it out how it is and how they'll go forward from here on out. >> reporter: thing is, the other team coming to play ball is the ravens hated rifle the pittsburgh steelers and with this uncomfortable -- rival the pittsburgh steelers and with this uncomfortable ray rice saga will the steelers smell blood in the water? if you were coaching pittsburgh would you be salivating a little bit at the thought of a team on its homes because of distractions? >> no. i don't think so. these things have a way of galvanizing the team. the biggest thing is there will be so much electricity and energy in this stadium, you want to make sure you get off to a fast start. you don't want the crowd to get into it. >> reporter: while it's our job as broadcasters to talk on about these stories, the players have a job, too. >> from a big picture standpoint, i'm sure you would react to this as a broadcaster or newsman is how do you advance the story? but t

>> the ravens better hope it is not true. the ravens better hope that there are some massive inaccuracies in the report, which is very credible. there's got to be something wrong here. if, indeed, it is proved that ownership, and it goes down to president, cash, the general manager, but if the comes out as steve bisciotti went out of his way to try and make it a case where the nfl, not only the nfl, but more lenient on ray rice, just so he could have his star player playing for him, making more money off him or making it easier for him, then you you have to see a change ownership. it's almost unbelievable that someone would go to this type of extent, this len to try and protect an employee, to try and protect a player. but again if this is true, it would be, first of all, absolutely down right shocking. second of all, there's no way that roger goodell, given the trouble he's in already, can have an other than representing a franchise with this under his belt. disgusting. >> as we move forward do you think goodell's job, he sh

the ravens took to the field for the first time since firing the star running back. susan mcginnis is here in new york with more. susan, good morning. >> well, marlie, sunday in its lineup of games can't get here soon enough for roger goodell and his brass. former fbi director robert mueller is nfl knew about rice's attack of his wife before he was handed that two-game suspension. the big question when did the nfl first learn of the video shot from inside an atlantic city casino elevator showing the former ravens running back striking his then fiancee. the website tmz released it this week and "associated press" reporter rob mehdi said he heard a voice mail confirming its receipt in april. >> the voice mail 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. >> but nfl commissioner roger goodell told "cbs morning news's" norah o'donnell nobody in the league to his knowledge saw the video before monday morning. >> we were told that was not something we would

reig ravens' star running back released from the ravens. happening very quickly after new very disturbing video was released by tmz sports showing that domestic violence incident between ray rice and his then-fiancee janay back in february. rice has since publicly apologized and called his actions unacceptable. the nfl says it had not seen the video evidence until today. let's bring in rob from the nbc sports radio network and also brett harris live at ravens' facility. he covers the ravens for comcast regional sports. rob, let me start with you. my personal reaction looking at this horrifying video is to ask, what is it in this video that is different from what the nfl thought happened, that would make the difference between a two-game suspension and a year-long suspension because, to me, and i think to a lot of folks, it seemed pretty clear from the start that two games was unacceptable, based on the video we had already seen before. >> first of all, krystal, the commissioner roger goodell came out recently and said he made a mistake in o

now it's certainly being turned on the ravens.oger goodell's task today was to restore public faith in him. instead he rolled out platitude after platitude for much of his 45 minute press conference and just when you thought his credibility couldn't get worse, a scathing report broke two hours later. according to espn's outside the lines, darren sanders, ravens head of security, contacted the revel hotel casino hours after the ray rice incident. sanders was given a detailed account of what happened inside the elevator. he-relayed that information to ravens executives. the report also states ravens team president dick cass did not request a copy of the video from rice's lawyers who had it. instead cass pushed rice's lawyers to seek a pretrial intervention program. other parts of the report, back in february after seeing the outside elevator video ravens coach john harbaugh recommended cutting rice but was overruled by steve bisciotti, who is the owner, cass, the team president and ozzie newsome, the gm. rice's defense attorney who

the ravens and the nfl claim they've never seen it until this morning. soon after, the ravens released rice from his contract and the nfl suspended him indefinitely. carol maloney is here with new reaction from the ravens and the mounting criticism for the nfl. >> there, there were a number of questions tonight if there was an nfl cover-up, or if it was incompetence. ray rice was suspended for two games. but the new video today, showed what happened inside the elevator, and it did not take long for the ravens to change the punishment. coach john harbaugh addressed the media tonight. >> it's something we saw for the first time today, you know, all of us. and it changed things, of course. it made things a little bit different. >> you said it changed for you. how did it change after seeing it? >> i don't know if i want to get into all the details about it. i think it's pretty obvious. and pretty apparent. everyone's seen the video. we'll leave it at that. >> meantime the league is now under scrutiny on how they failed to view the video until now. we need to

the ravens fired him. the nfl suspend the him indefinitely as we told you earlier in the broadcast. former nfl players it's embarrassing to see something like this. commissioner admitted he got it wrong with that two game suspension for rice. this video release gave him the chance to make it right and did he. the new penalty for future violence against women is the six game suspension and a lifetime ban for second offenders. nfl covers abusive behavior starting at the rookie symposi symposium. the class of 2015 will be studying the ray rice incident and how it cost him his career. >> all right. turning to baseball the battle of the keystone state phillies hosting the cross state rifles from pittsburgh. fourth inning here we go no score. ryan how war at the plate he hits a grounder the second baseman can't handle. jimmy rollins scored to give the fightings the lead but in the next inning the pirates answered right back off of kyle kendrick. martin hit a two run homerun to left centerfield and pirates beat t

>> it's the right decision by ravens.ou wonder how law enforcement and ravens and nfl didn't have this information before. now that it's come to light by tmz, this is the right thing to do. he should not be permitted to play in the nfl albeit under these circumstances albeit light the commissioner in his soft touch on initial punishment said he didn't get it right. further action would be taken for guys now and ravens, it's been put on their plate and this time they've gotten it right. >> it's my understanding the nfl is still saying they had not seen the full extent of the video on our screen right now actually inside the elevator, jim, where you can actually see ray rice, with one punch, take out janay palmer. she is out on the floor. what we originally had seen you're seeing right now, the aftermath of ray pulling her out of the elevator as she is still knocked out and on the ground. do you believe the nfl did not have access to this as they were determining such an important decision as this one a couple months ago? >

and exactly the opposite of what we saw from the ravens and the nfl.whether we can do it legislatively, whether we can seek more aggravated penalties at the state or federal level, my hope is that this incident will lead to changes in practices and much stronger penalties from the nfl. >> great to have you. senator, thanks so much for coming. michelle bernard, i think you'll be back later in the show. and jamal hill, thank you for your reporting. and thanks to tmz for having us know about this stuff. sometimes without the tape, you don't believe it until you see it. >>> coming up, we elected president obama to end wars. can he now sell anti-war americans on his battle plan against isis? can he take us to war with the anti-war crowd? and we'll meet a jury in the mcdonald corruption trial that delivered that verdict against the former governor and his wife. >>> plus, if 80% of life is about showing up, look who showed up to say goodbye to joan rivers. debra norville is going to join us. she was inside, she spoke at the funeral. that's all coming late in

baltimore ravens have cut ray rice. ray rice was suspended two games by the nfl for domestic violence. a charge showing the elevator video, i think shocking. you and i were talking about this this morning. >> it was shocking. >> i said i thought it was disgusting that a ceo would lose a job for kicking a dog which is disgusting, as well, but a suspension for knocking his wife unconscious. baltimore ravens terminated ray rice's contract this afternoon just coming into cnbc here, as well. >>> i apologize to break in like that but obviously this is big news and important news. who is the worst of the bunch? >> there is a few companies running into trouble. one is called corin theen college. even though the stock is publicly traded we would avoid it. >> is there issue with the sector as a whole being under such government scrutiny or is that something we can put behind us? >> that is always an issue with the sector. if you are investing in education realize they partner with the federal government. the sector is highly regu

the ravens listened and issued their own tweet. "ravens have terminated running back ray rice's contract this afternoon." minutes later commissioner roger goodell issued a statement putting rice own definite su"no one in our office has seen it until today." goodell's initial suspension of just two games prompted widespread criticism the punishment was not enough. two weeks ago goodell announced a new league policy for domestic violence offenders making it a six-game suspension for first offense and a lifetime ban for a second offense. domestic violence expert ted bunch consulted with the league on a new policy. >> it's unfortunate we have to actually wait to see a video in order for us to all have a higher level of urgency around because it's not just the nfl. all of us see it and now we believe it. >> reporter: rice has not responded to today's develops. last may he responded in a news conference with his wife palmer sitting at his side and in july he apologized. >> that's not me. my actions are inexcusable. that's something i hav

ravens nation, we love you. this whole fall-out has sparked a deep conversation 140 characters at a time. domestic violence victims are taking to twitter and sharing their stories with the hashtag why i stayed and why i left. a north carolina woman started it by sharing her story, quote, i tried to leave the house once after an abusive episode and he blocked me. he slept in front of the door the entire night. hashtag, why i stayed. others chiemd in like this woman who said, why i stayed, i thought he would kill me, why i left. i saw his eyes the moment he decided to kill me and i wanted to die. so those who help domestic violence victims every day tell us on average women will experience five to seven episodes before they finally leave for good. and today, our molla lenghe looked into the dynamics of an abusive relationship. >> lesli, you can ask why someone stayed or left, but the answers are never easy. every relationship and situation of abuse is different, from when someone decides to leave and why to who th

the ravens. the nfl. there is a tremendous.conomic jump side for janay and for this couple to deem things as they are. so there is that piece of it. but i think everything she says is right on point. there is this notion that women can somehow, are complicit in this violence. and we are not holding the men accountable. >> what about the, what seems to be, it is very hard tonlds. the nfl itself. the original penalty here for ray rice was you're going on miss two games. you're going to miss two games because we saw this video of your fiance whurm lifting her out of the elevator. you admitted it was because he assaulted her. you're saying because we didn't see the punch, that means it was only two game. now we see the punch that resulted in you being comatose on the ground. he will be indefinitely suspended. how does that add up? >> you know, erin, good evening. don and leslie have done a fantastic job putting everybody in the mindset of what a victim goes through. let's talk about the nfl. they had a videotape of a, an unconsciou

what that means for the ravens this is a different kind of airline. one that invented low-fares so everyone could fly. one that decides where to go next by putting your needs first. and knows people are its most powerful fuel. some say we do things differently. we say, why would we do things any other way? without a heart, it's just a machine. in fairfax county we had to cut a lot of waste. we consolidated offices. started sharing printers. we can walk a few feet. replaced computers, but kept the monitors. they still work fine. we even discovered that the phone company overcharged us by three million dollars! i approve this message because congress doesn't need another right winger. they need someone who can balance a budget. oh, and we definitely didn't need so many government studies. >>> summer vacation is over and people are starting to look at who will be the new mayor in the district. there is a good chance history will be made and bigger chance that the candidates will start taking shots at one another. >> bruce johnson with the top three on ca

did the ravens look, investigate?ecause it took tmz, a web site out in california, to come up with this video. it's sort of -- in some ways some might think conveniently look the other way. this is a big star. this is a guy who is responsible for the super bowl because he had that great play in november of 2012. otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in the super bowl against san francisco. >>m:ee yeah. i don't think that's the case in the sense that and i think there is a bigger question. i guess certainly you could ask of the league well, why you have not seen this video? it's amazing to me that it's taken this long to come out. and it's amazing to me that the officials, the police departments and whoever is covering this didn't -- i understand why they might not want to share it i do believe that the league and i know for a fact the ravens had not seen this video that certain solid a question as to why you haven't seen the video, but clearly had they, they would have acted in this swift and decisive way had they se

a short time ago baltimore ravens gave a press conference regarding a report that claims ravens executives on the second ray rice video which shows the ex-running back knocking out his then-fiance. they asked roger goodell for leniency which was granted and led to his two-game suspension. today ravens owner steve bisciotti questioned the articles sourcing. >> i think that what's obvious is that the majority of the sources are people that work for ray. almost everything in there is anonymous but it is clear from the subject matter that there's, it's ray's attorney, it's ray's agent, and it's ray's friends. and you know, they are building a case for reinstatement. and the best way to build a case for reinstatement is to make everybody else look like they're lying. so, um, their accusations didn't jive with what we knew as fact. >> bisciotti went on to say he's sorry for not demanding the video. >> there's no excuse for me to not have demand that video except i wasn't concerned or interested enough to demand it. never crossed my mind. i'm sorry for that. deeply sorry for that. >> a short time

the ravens. any other team can pick him up now. so that's another thing to remember. you would have to expect that most nfl teams seeing this enormous backlash would not sign him right now. however, think down the road six months from now, we'll have to see what happens. the story is not over. he's just not done for good. any other team is free to pick him up. he's available. >> he has to explain why the woman who was punched in the face was attacked in the media that she attacked him and that the nfl people who were making this decision had seen the video and in it she is attacking him. now that we see the video we see that's completely untrue. >> it's so obvious. you have real life and you have nfl. i kept thinking, okay, brooke, if you are someone and you have a fiance and you are caught punching that person -- >> don't forget in real life the court let him go. >> you know where i'm going with this. it's assault. it's battery. >> as an attorney i want accountability in the legal system. what's

the ravens owner and john harbaugh all met with ray rice and released him today.ere is coach harbaugh. >> my pain is for both of them is a couple. my hope is they can make it work. from everything i can understand, up until the suspension i was talking to him a lot, it would seem like they were working hard and really doing well in that direction. hopefully they can weather this part of it, too. i will be praying for that. >> you could see the emotion and john harbaugh. over.t think this is according to roger goodell, a first-time offender is supposed to get a six-game suspension, not indefinite. the us is ray rice's first time. apologize, him attend counseling, and suspended two games. rice did everything they asked. the video was appalling, but rice may have some recourse. >> repercussions may go up to the commissioner's office. some are calling for him to resign. >> it will definitely go back to the commissioner's office. if ray rice told him exactly what he did, now there is a lot of pressure on commissioner roger goodell. >> tough situation. thanks, tim. grap

it will be wet at the ravens game for the tailgaters. i think that's a given. time frame 3 p.m.8 p.m. for d.c. and north. that includes baltimore. i think it's going to be 8 p.m. to maybe midnight south of town down toward southern maryland. that's the bull's eye for the most intense storms and also for the longest duration of storms. that includes charles county, st. mary's, calvert county and the northern neck. this is the north american computer model, 11:30 tomorrow morning no real problems in the immediate metro area, but by 1:00 some showers get pretty close toward frederick and hagerstown. by 4:00 we see showers rolling through the d.c. metro area. so you tailgaters will probably have some showers. the good news is everything is shades of green, which is light. that much is good. by 6:00 showers are just almost south of m&t bank stadium, very close. we are really trying to get some fine detail right now. by 8:00 again just very close to the stadium. i think you'll be in pretty good shape bycatchoff. you'll be wet if you're tail -- by kickoff. you'll be wet if you're tailg

and now the ravens, had a chance for a do-over like a lot of ravens said they wanted and now they madesion that ray rice is no longer a baltimore raven and, again,f"cx with that coupled with the nfl, very good indication that ray rice's career in the nfl is probably over. but in sports you can never say never. >> this thing has gone all the way to the white house. even the president weighed in today. >> yeah, the white house spokesman josh earnest was ask the by ed henry during the press briefing today, talking about isis, all about immigration and thençy ed henry posed this question about the ray rice suspension to josh earnest. listen. >> this administration, this president, do believe strongly that the discourage of violence against women is something that needs to be aggressively combated. and i don't want to comment on the individual decisions made by in this case an individual nfl team but you have seen the president and the vice-president make very forceful public comments, in talking about how important it is for men, in particular, to step up and step forward, and make clear t

we're kicking it off with a bitter rivalry between the steelers and ravens. >> so bitter that ravens linebacker turrell broke out a jersey with an image from a sideline gate last year. the shirt read, we will never forget. >> so let's queue up the trash talk. it's quiet now but that's going to change in just a few hours. >> reporter: you've got that right. it's quiet now but that's because it's so early in the morning. wait till tonight when the big game kicks off, a heated rivalry between the steelers and ravens. there's no shortage of things to talk about because there's no shortage of controversy surrounding the ravens tonight. the big challenge for the players will be to focus on playing the game, not the controversy. ten of the last 12 games between the two have been decided by three points are less. the anticipation already building here and has been all week. our expert analysis tonight will include commentary with bill cower and deion sanders tackling issues from rg3, the redskins name change, the steelers and of course ray rice as well as d.c. area native james brown who tal

i mean where were the ravens investigating, where were the ravens looking for the video?m sure the ravens were even more motivated. there's a police report, and as the credible source here, law enforcement, there was a detailed report that dictates everything that was on that video. so they're telling me they couldn't even red the police report. i don't think that roger goodell should lose his job over this, that he should step down. it reminds me of the politics. maybe he didn't know. maybe this is plausible de deniabili deniability. but he does have a huge problem on his hands, why didn't you know? >> on the john edwards campaign, basically they know "the national enquirer" is sniffing around about the story about john edwards for a listening time and they're all too scared to ask what's actually happening. and to crater john edwards and the family. >> and they knew what was going on. let's say that cleared up tomorrow. he could be picked up by another team. >> take a listening to this. i'm glad you asked that. >> what does that mean that he was suspended in definitely?

you know harsho well and the ravens cover the nfl. was it such. >> the relationship between him and the players is like a family. it's difficult for him to lay down the hammer. he has been with the ravens for seven years and you have to believe he had conversations with ray and his wife and they don't know what the true story is. they took their word and it wasn't until yesterday morning when john saw it, part of him is heartbroken by this. he did what i think -- like a father would do. sort of support him right now. even though he knows what ray rice did to his wife was wrong. >> it's hard to get that when you had to know when you saw the initial video. with her being dragged out of the elevator and there was no denial that he puchbed her. there was abuse involved. >> that's the whole point. i don't understand what we learned. we knew this happened. a man hit a woman. it's amazing that we are focusing on the nfl and the ravens here. how can that be allowed to happen. we can debate for hours, what should the nfl have done and what sho

can you talk about this, the two rather's, the ravens, the 49ers -- the two brothers, the ravens and49ers, the two rays. >> jim harbaugh, interesting enough, as someone for a long time has had -- i've talked to people involved in that organization. violence against women is the one thing he will never tolerate on this team. he is said that the players enclosed your meetings, something he rarely believes very strongly. although, if people know jim harbaugh, he faces those kinds of declarations with the same kind of masculinist verve that so often colors how people respond to domestic violence. you have to have a much more manly approach to it. and that is the only way you're going to actually squelch it. harbaughow jim approached it. even though he is that rhetoric for so long, there was ray mcdonald on the field to play in san francisco. once again, i said this earlier, but it really does expose how videotape has played a role in this. and because people don't believe victims in this country -- i mean, it is the same thing we're talking about with ferguson. the assumption among the m

and as for the ravens themselves, of course the games go on. they have another one this coming thursday night. coaches and players are continuing to support ray rice, but the sentiment does not appear to be as strong as it was when the situation first started. kristen berset is with the team in owings mulls and she has more on the reaction today. kristen. >> reporter: yeah, derek, the baltimore ravens, they have a history of giving guys second chances. really believing they can become better men. that's what they tried to do with ray rice ever since this accident occurred in february. they were tweeting support, vocalizing support. dozens of teammates stood by as he addressed the media and owned up to his reactions. since the video came out, that appears to be dispating a little bit. the team woke up monday morning to see that video and instead of focusing on their short workweek and big rivalry game against the steelers thursday night, they were having to face the reality of what their former teammate had done. in the lock players wouldn't tal

the ravens insist keeping rice was a team decision. night's football matchup, the new york jets host the chicago bears. in the first minute of play chicago's ryan mundy returns an interception 46 yards for a touchdown. four minutes later, the jets turn the ball over again, this time on a fumbled punt. that sets up another bears touchdown. chicago never trailed in a 27-19 win. >>> week four of the nfl season kicks off right here on cbs this thursday night. the new york giants head to the beltway to take on the washington redskins. our coverage starts at 7:30 eastern, 6:30 central. this is the "cbs morning news." ning news." nted sonic technology with up to 27% more brush movements get healthier gums in two weeks guaranteed. philips sonicare discover the brush that's perfect for you.

a source within the ravens organization tells cnn a ravens' official knew he knocked out his now-wife and knew there was video evidence of it hours after the incident occurred. that is stunning. this is, as the nfl commissioner broke his silence this afternoon to talk about the crisis that has consumed the league over the past ten days. the crisis started with the elevator video with ray rice abusing the woman that is now his wife. it is a crime that initially cost him two games. today goodell apologized for failing the fans. >> i'm not satisfied with the way we've handled it from the get-go. as i told you, and this statement indicates, i made a mistake. i'm not satisfied with the process that we went through, i'm not satisfied with the conclusions. >> goodell went on to promise the league it will get its house in order. miguel marquez is outfront. i want to start with the breaking news. because as roger goodell tries to put this behind him, damning news that the ravens used, blow by blow, a horrible phrase to use, about the video hours after it occurred. >> it turns everything on his

despite an explosive video of rice knocking out his fiance in an elevator, many ravens in ravens nationay they still support rice. >> even though what he did was awful i think people need to take a stand for him. his treatment by the league was horrible, the way like being punished twice for the same thing, i don't believe that's right. i've spoken to him. i think a lot of us here have. he's genuine and he means well and he made a mistake under the influence of alcohol, him and his wife, and people are letting that define him and i don't think that's right. >> yes i'm making a statement. i'm making a statement because ray rice, yes he was wrong, yes, i don't agree with what he did, but, man, it's like double jeopardy. they shouldn't have thrown him out of the leak. that was wrong. >> i believe that everybody deserves a second chance. this is a situation that is between his wife and himself. i feel that everybody should leave them alone and let them deal with the situation. >> i wore my ray rice jersey because i support ray rice. it's double jeopardy what roger goodell did, you know? i d

the ravens say they never saw the video before today. nfl statement here, roger goodell announces that based on new evidence that became available today, he has indefinitely suspended ray rice. here is reaction from ray's alma-mater, rutgers university. >> ray will always be a part of our family. the video i saw this morning was difficult to watch, as a husband and as a father. there's nothing that could justify what i saw on that video. this is a sad day for ray and a sad day for rutgers. >> that's the current coach, kyle flood, he was not the head coach at rutgers. but it is a matter that impacts the entire university and community. >> john, you mention the nfl saying it hadn't seen the video inside the elevator until today. as you know, there are a lot of skeptics on social media. what's the likelihood this is the first time the nfl saw this? >> let's state the case. the nfl, their investigators, they have a lot of them, former fbi agents working for the nfl. and you have to figure when they put these guys on a case, this is surveilla

so there were players who could see the videotape and yet the raven, many of the ravens, claim they couldn't see it. >> reporter: biscotti said the story was manufactured relying on rice's inner circle. still, he admitted ignorance is no excuse. >> punishment could have been stiffer. so why shouldn't you be held to the same standard? >> okay. there's no excuse for me to have not demanded that video except i wasn't concerned or interested enough to demand it. never crossed my mind. i'm sorry for that. deeply sorry for that. if it had crossed my mind, i would have demanded it. if i had demanded it, i would have gotten it. and if i had gotten it, i would have forwarded it to the nfl and it would have turned into an unprecedented suspension for ray. >> reporter: an nfl players association representative tells nbc news tonight that the union has asked the league for a broad investigation into the facts precisely to determine which party the nfl, the ravens, or ray rice is telling the truth. brian. >> peter alexander remains on the nfl story for us tonight. peter, thanks. >>> yesterday's coordinat

a tweet from ravens official account moments ago reads, the ravens terminated ray rice's contract thisfternoon. the termination comes after new surveillance video has been released by tmz sports. i want to warn you, it is disturbing. inside an atlantic city hotel elevator you see ray rice and fiancee involved in an altercation. rice then delivers a blow that leaves her unconscious on the floor. he then drags her body into the hallway, picks up her shoe and gives her body a little kick with his foot. as "the new york times" points out rice was charged with felony assault in march, but after she declined to testify against his her, they were recommended for counseling. roger goodell succespended him two games. they just upped it to six game minimum suspension. in addition to calls for stronger punishment, today the nfl says, quote, the video was not made available to us and no one in our office had seen it today. dave zire, and jamel hill is co-host of "two numbers never lie" and i want to get everybody's reaction to the decision by the nfl to suspend ray rice. >> i think a lot of people
