joining me now is rob simmelkjaer. i want your reaction but we pulled sound from tom brady back in january responding to questions about deflategate. listen. we don't have that just yet. we'll get it up. this was the press conference where he denies any involvement in this and being unaware but how bad is that report rob for tom brady? >> thomas it's not a good situation for the patriots. this report makes it pretty clear of a couple of things. there were two patriots employees, jim mcnally an official locker room attendant and john an equipment assistant for patriots that these two individuals, not just for the one game in question but period of time going back months were aware of that and in fact involved in efforts to deflate the footballs to tom brady's liking and are even references in text messages that mentioned numbers below the range in which a ball is supposed to be inflated. it's clear these two individuals knew what they were doing and knew it was against the rules. what's not as clear from what i've read

you know we were talking about rob simmelkjaer could be a wide range, maybe two to four games. entire season may not just be him. we'll see the patriots and -- >> the examples you bring up the personal behaviors of these athletes breeding into professional lives and this is a professional problem happening on the field and who knows for how long. it's not so much about the outcome of the game but what was the intent of his professional -- of his professional wish. if this is all true. >> we may know earlier this week. roger goodell could make his opinion any time now. >> we have breaking news out of florida, our local nbc affiliate is reporting george zimmerman was involved in a shooting incident in lake mary this afternoon. that's his truck on the left hand side and closer view on the right-hand side of the screen. police chief steve brak nell says the shooting happened on lake mary boulevard. officers say it appeared zimmerman suffered a minor gunshot wound in january of 2015 accused of assault by his girlfriend. no charges filed after she recanted the allegations. he was als
