but roger? oh, yes, roger. >> i quit school my junior here. and you're not going back and i didn't like people telling me i'm not going to do something, so i went back. >> but he seemed to take trouble with him. drinking, public brawling, marijuana, lsd. eventually cocaine. >> it makes you feel ten feet tall and bullet-proof. usually someone showed me i wasn't 10 foot tall and bulletproof. >> got a few bruises along the way. >> more than a few. >> the good kid and the trouble one spent weekends together off-roading, chasing girls, watching murder-for-hire movies. >> we would watch a movie about hit men. there was easy money involved in a few seconds of work. >> hit men? but that's killing someone. was that a joke? >> just shooting the breeze. wow, you know, $50,000 for pulling a trigger. >> they imagined become hit men themselves. just a joke. and then quite suddenly, life got serious for bob. his girlfriend got pregnant. >> didn't know what to do. she wanted to keep it. >> her name was leanna davidson, a high school junior, only 17. >> long b

he told roger goodell that he hit his then-fiancee. that contradicted what the conversation was with roger goodell this week. >> when we met with ray rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous of what had happened. >> this is the inconsistencies to enlis the help of a former fbi chief to investigate the handle of the ray rice case. and questions are growing about who is leading the investigation. miguel marquez is out front. >> reporter: even before it gets underway, the investigation into the investigators of the ray rice scandal already raising eyebrows. overseen by two nfl team owners, john mara of the new york giants and art rooney of the pittsburgh steelers, can robert mueller lead a thorough and independent investigation. his law firm said he has experience handling sensitive investigations, including his service for over a dozen year of the fbi. he is a partner at washington's wilmer hill and has deep connections to the national football league. and the current president of the ravens, cass, was a partner for 31 years. hill

what do you anticipate hearing from roger goodell?e giving that interview to cbs this morning while we've seen a whole slew of other players with various allegations. >> a lot of criticism for going in a bunker and even that interview on cbs, you want everyone to answer questions and have him in a public setting and a press conference setting where people can ask the stuff. one thing as rachel said is what about the greg hardy case? he was convicted of assault and abuse, domestic violence. >> he's appealing it. that's why the team is allowing him to play but he was convicted. >> he was convicted. a judge said that you are guilty of this. then a video -- the video says a lot. the police report in the greg hardy case was there in may. there's so many questions and inconsistencies he's going to have to face today and this is the right forum to do it. >> do you anticipate any major news out of roger goodell? >> i think to rachel's point the etch-a-sketch policy is a brilliant way of describing what's going on. you etch-a-sketch something

the pressure has been building on roger goodell all week. it's ten days now since he talked and dave the only interview to cbs, in the meantime we have not heard anything from the commissioner on the adrian peterson scandal, the jonathan dwyer scandal, any issues afflicting the nfl. in fact we have had a higher profile from somebody like ray rice, who actually start this with the assault on his wife. he turn up at his old high school to watch a game. we have seen nothing of roger goodell and it's not just the outcry from nfl insiders. it's also sponsors, anheuser-busch, and pepsi, both expressing their concern about the lack of action that the nfl has taken, and we just heard, shep, from the pentagon, that the defense secretary himself, chuck hagel, is now asking questions about the military's involvement with the nfl. so, a huge amount of pressure on goodell. >> there are so many. look at all the sponsors. radisson was the first one. the vikings used to have the radisson logo behind the coach. now it's gone, pepsi, bud light, and now the m

he dismisses roger federer in straight sets.'s got more to his game. his groundstrokes are awesome. the return got to federer. and despite the efforts that he had made to get to the semis he played in some very difficult conditions, his body recovered a lot more quickly than the 33-year-old roger federer. bill: so we thought it might be novak djokovic and ronald rodge playing for the title -- roger federer playing for the title. instead, those two guys crashed the party. and roger says goodbye. how many more chances at the age of 33 will he have? five-time champion exits arthur ashe stadium. let's go down to mary joe fernandez. mary joe: thanks, bill. marin, amazing match. congratulations. how were you able to hold your nerve so well in that last game? >> just amazing day for me. i feel amazing and to be able to play like this, i never dreamed of and i think today was my best performance ever in my career. mary joe: in the final you'll play another first time finalist in kei nishikori. what are your thoughts on that first big fi

the problem is roger goodell decided and nfl decided to make roger goodell judge and jury. when he took over in 2007, there was a spade of arrests and he instituted this personal conduct policy so it was a decision by them so they got themselves in these waters so then as we've been talking about, you have to be careful when you do that. >> there was a scandal with the new orleans saints about -- i don't remember what it was. >> the bounties. >> bounty gate. he took a very tough line in telling players and telling everyone lack of knowledge of it, that's not an excuse. there's a lot of people now saying, you know, pointing the same finger at him. >> he told sean payton, the coach of the saints, you should have known about bounty gate. roger goodell, should you have known about this tape and everything else. >> do you see a possibility of roger goodell stepping down? isn't bottom line in the nfl how much money is being made and roger goodell has made a lot of money for a lot of team owners. >> let's see if sponsors start pulling out. sponsors have issued statements and issue

today could be the rebranding of roger goodell. and you've called for his resignati resignation. are you open to anything short of a resignation? most people don't think goodell should resign. 29% think he should resign, 43% say he shouldn't resign and 29% say he's not sure. >> what they're announcing in terms of domestic violence programs is great. there's no question it's going to help. because it's providing awareness and direct services. there's going to be a very dark cloud hanging over the nfl as long as roernlg goodell is in the leadership position he is. he's proven over the last couple of weeks that he's been handling this case deceptive from the start. there were 50 cases handled even more poorly than the ray rice case, before the ray rice case came up, was revealed and incited this public outcry we're seeing. roger goodell has done nothing since then but responded basically with crisis p.r. and i think what's coming out of it could be great for women particularly. while roger goodell is at the helm, he helm,. >> i wrote

and he will take questions, we are told today, roger goodell. what he knew about ray rice, the video inside the elevator, what did he know about it, when did he see it? he will also be asked about adrian peterson of the minnesota vikings, of course. why he did not act to punish peterson in any way after these allegations of child abuse against peterson. then there's the question of the carolina panthers. greg harvey, finally benched by his team because of a domestic violence conviction and also he will be asked about ray mcdonald, plays for the san francisco 49ers. is disagreement active despite being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence on august 31st. an awful lot of questions for the commissioner. and, of course, he will also be asked, have you thought about resigning. there's a lot of people have said he should, gretchen. >> the nfl did announce some new domestic violence initiatives. that happened yesterday. what was that about? >> obviously in the wake of all of this there has been a lot of criticism of roger goodell and the league's

he dismisses roger federer in straight sets.n: that was a beautiful exhibition of power, obviously but he's got more to his game. his groundstrokes are awesome. the return got to federer. and despite the efforts that he had made to get to the semis, he played in some very difficult conditions, his body recovered a lot more quickly than the 33-year-old roger federer. bill: so we thought it might be novak djokovic and ronald rodge playing for the title -- roger federer playing for the title. instead, those two guys crashed the party. and roger says goodbye. how many more chances at the age f 33 will he have? five-time champion exits arthur ashe stadium. let's go down to mary joe fernandez. mary joe: thanks, bill. marin, amazing match. congratulations. how were you able to hold your nerve so well in that last game? >> just amazing day for me. i feel amazing and to be able to play like this, i never dreamed of and i think today was my best performance ever in my career. mary joe: in the final you'll play another first time finalist

here is gary tuchman. >> roger, congratulations. >> reporter: and roger goodell became the commissioner of the most popular sport. early on he spoke these relevant words. >> we are in a position where people are watching and you are in a different world right now and you have to be responsible and you are going to be held accountable. >> reporter: and now the question is being asked, has he been responsible? has he been accountable? >> the question becomes, did the nfl drop the ball or was the nfl willfully ignorant about what was on this tape? >> well, we certainly didn't know what was on the tape but we have been very open and honest and i have also, from two weeks ago when i acknowledged, we didn't get this right. that's my responsibility and i'm accountable for that. >> reporter: goodell has had his hands full during his eight years of commissioner when it comes to discipline. perhaps the most note be, michael vick, involved in dogfighting. he pled guilty and went to prison. >> michael did an egregious thing. he played a significant price for that. >> reporter: he was allowed back i

the players can't fire roger goodell.n put pressure, maybe, i don't know, or can they, on the owners? the owners for their part, they're backing goodell for the most part, it would seem. >> and as they should. i mean, really up until this incident, if you look at at his tenure, think he's done a pretty good job as commissioner, that plays in his favor. what will determine whether or not he remains is how the public responds and whether or not this starts to have an impact on their business. listen, we just went through this with donald sterling and the nba. there were people who had, who kind of knew the type of person donald sterling was, but until it started to affect the business of the nba -- you didn't see a lot. and so that's what's going to have to play out here. does the business of the nfl start to be affected because of the way they mishandled this entire ray rice situation. and that ultimately, i think is going to determine what happens in terms of roger goodell. >> and the sterling situation, we saw sponsors s

roger. >> thank you, mr. rogers hold on i mean, i'll ask for opening remarks thank you supervisor kim to correct the problem in the western selma plan to let the night life use move forward were there should be night life i had a lot of respect for the work that supervisor kim and her office and members of the community did in moving in western selma plan forward i ultimately did not vote for that plan that was a 10 to one so obviously i was think the losing side even though there's a lot of good in the plan in my view it was not support of night life in a neighborhood that is one the epic centers of lgbt night life in our city we know that night life in san francisco is incredibly important as part the cultural heart of the city it is what makes our city what it is in so many ways all too often night life is a problem to be tolerated or a thorn in the side to be dealt with we know that's not the case so one of the first things i requested our city visits do a night life plan it was was a $2. million industry

that doesn't help roger goode, ll right now. and part of this, it occurs to me is you've got a situation where he wanted to be a strict person in all of this. >> exactly. i think we're learning that women and children first is not exactly a guiding principle of the national football league. you talked about this, chris, as being an antiquated system, it does seem very and kuwaited. the idea of one person being judge, jury and executioner. and that means roger goodell owns every infraction. he demanded it. there was some arrests in the nfl that were cause ag minor public relations problem. roger goodell put himself forward and i thought this was extremely racialized at the time that says look, someone needs to be in charge here. i'll be mr. drummond. i can tell you something, that up set a lot of players. as family said, most players hate being treated like they're perspective criminals by their boss. that's why roger goodell, in 20011, he did this tour of training camps to make his case to the players. he was roundly mocked when

may be commissioner roger goodell.he handled everything too. >> i think with roger you, know he has been known as that type of commissioner to really put the hammer down. i think he needs to do that now. and -- let the players know that -- there are consequences if you are -- not representing the nfl the right way. >> it is complicated. i moean your old team, the 49er they have been front and centeren acenter in all of this. they let ray mcdonnald after he was arrested. the decision has been criticized by mayor of san francisco, old quarterback, steve young, harbaugh insisting mcdonald has a right to play until he is charged. what do you think? >> i'm with steve young. ray mcdonald should be off the football field. he should not have the opportunity to continue playing right now. domestic violence, you know, it is a very touchy -- conversation, but it is something that we have to address. we have to deal with. >> yeah. there has been so much bad nfl news lately. there has been some nice moments. sprinkled in. with you

as we wait for roger goodell, let's bring in pat ritts, forgive me if i interrupt you, the second rogeroodell comes out, we're going to take him. what does he need to say to deal with the scandal? >> i don't know that there's much more to be able to say. unfortunately right now, he's been slow in reacting, and it reminds me of bud selig during the steroid issue. bud was able to salvage his reputation. liz: stop, here he comes, roger goodell, nfl commissioner. >> good afternoon, thank you all for coming today. i'd like to make a few points and i'd be happy to take your questions. at our best, the nfl sets an example that makes a positive difference. unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the nfl doing wrong. that starts with me. i said this before back on august 28th and say it again now. i got it wrong in the handling of the ray rice matter. and i'm sorry for that. i got it wrong on a number of levels. from the process that i led to the decision that i reached, but now i will get it right and do what is necessary to accomplish that. first, i don't expec

no one believes roger goodell right now. i see him sitting down in the interview somebody trying to make sure it's not the first domino that end with him losing his $40 million a year job. roger goodell is fighting for his professional life. for the first time in the series of scandals that have taken place under the tenure, there's blow back on his office. nobody believes roger for a basic reason. it doesn't make sense that the nfl would not ask to see the tape. the national football league -- >> he said they asked for all the video. >> yes, and they also have members of the secret service who work in their security department. the idea they could not obtain that video and actually view it is something that simply nobody who i've spoken to even believes. the only people is maybe they chose not to see it so they would have plausible deniability that the video wouldn't come public. it's a league, frankly, does not care about domestic violence. has never cared about the issue of violence against women. has been dealing with th

it may be commissioner roger goodell.s your take on how he's handled everything. >> roger has been known as that type of commissioner to really put the hammer down. i think he needs to do that now. and let the players know that there are consequences if you are -- you're not representing the nfl the right way. >> and it is complicated. your old team, the 49ers are front and center because they let ray mcdonald play even after he was arrested in a domestic violence incident with his pregnant fiancee. that decision has been criticized from the mayor of san francisco, from your old quarterback steve young, but then you have coach jim harbaugh insisting he does have a right to play until he's charged. what do you think? >> i'm with steve young. ray mcdonald should be off that football field. he should not have the opportunity to continue playing right now. zmesic violence, you know, it's a very touchy conversation, but it's something that we have to address and we have to deal with. >> yeah. and there has been so much bad nfl

i think roger goodell probably got the tape. probably buried in bits and pieces and under the end zones of multiple teams in the nfl. i mean, i promise you he didn't see that tape, but having the tape, it was probably destroyed in an nfl manner and they put it in the end zone and they said no one will ever find it again because at least we know that building is secure. >> clearly, guys. >> i'm with you, ben. >> yet america's love for pro football doesn't seem threatened by these recent controversies. in fact, almost 90% of people in a new nbc/marist university poll, they say they haven't cut back on how much they watch the nfl. only 11% said they're less likely to watch. i mean, what do you do to pressure to change? >> well, it's the team owners. look at ben roethlisberger as a great example. when roethlisberger got in trouble multiple times and he was able to brush it under the rug, people kept showing up to those games and watching him play. and i think that's what you see with the owners here and with roger goodell. at the en

he knows roger goodell very well. on the positive side he says he finds it hard to believe that roger goodell would lie about whether or not he saw this videotape. on the other hand the source told me there is no way possible that a video goes to the nfl office and somebody of import did not see that. so i believe what's going on here is the ronald reagan plausible deniable thing. roger goodell may not have seen that video but he had his underlings see it and they told him what is going on. and i don't think is it going to be a complete report because of all the things we talked about in the past. two nfl owners basically in charge of this thing, but there a will be enough smoking guns that they may have to force him out. i think there is a decent chance of that. >> the thing that is so intriguing about this is there has been a pattern of behavior in the league that has been accepted. this is the most high profile incident. it's the videotape. now even when in 2012, the chiefs' linebacker, javon belcher killed his gir

somebody was negligent in not getting that to roger. i've known roger 14 years.e's dedicated his life to an nfl. as a man i can't believe he saw that video and gave it a two-game suspensionp. that's what makes it hard to believe. is that the consensus view of owners? >> put this big picture in front of folks. goodell's credibility has been called into question and it's likely in most places where you and i work if someone had overseen some situation like this, that there would be heads that roll, right. this is not a publicly traded company. basically 32 billionaire owners will decide the fate of roger goodell. one thing to keep an eye on we didn't focus on over the course of that -- this past week is the fact that one of the sort of low-grade franchises in the league, the buffalo bills, sold for $1.4 billion. consider that right now. i've met a lot of -- i bet a lot of other owners in the league were paying close attention to that as well. there's a bottom line at stake here. goodell has helped these owners make a lot of money over the course of i guess since 20

and ray rice scandal has roger goodell hanging by a thread.s the reality sinks in that a so-called outside investigation is being conducted by a former fbi director with ties to the nfl, and being overseen by a pair of nfl team owners, many are saying the league not only has a domestic violence problem, it also has an optics problem. publicist and founder of the bredow agency. this is a conundrum. as boston globe's dawn shaughnessy put it, they are now, the nfl n full-blown watergate cover-up mode and roger goodell is a modern day nixon. does goodell resign, flee in a helicopter from a rooftop of nfl headquarters in manhattan? i mean, there is that sense among a lot of people this is now a story about him and about his inability to manage this league properly. can roger goodell, from a public relations point of view, survive this or a way to survive this? if so, how? >> there's definitely a way to survive it, but roger goodell has really found himself in a very difficult position because domestic violence is a very serious infraction. and the

i don't agree with what roger goodell did at all.e got his punishment and i think they should have stuck to that. what the ravens did, i think is a little messed up, but i know they had to do what they do for the organization, but i stick behind ray rice 100%. >> i don't support what he did but i support him as a person. i believe we're all human and we all make mistakes. >> there you have it. if you tuned in to last night's game, there was something missing from the opening show -- ♪ >> that would be this that's "run this town by jay-z" featuring rihanna, supposed be part of the thursday night football prerecorded open until it was yanked before kickoff. changes were made to make time to discuss the ray rice scandal, an awkward decision, considering rihanna, like janay rice, is a victim of domestic violence. the singer was assaulted in 2009 by then boyfriend chris brown. now i know cbs's heart was in the right place but removing rihanna, a survivor of domestic violence, seemed a little off to me. it was like punishing her because sh

i like what roger goodell did today. i think he should draw the line and say we're not going to accept that behavior in the nfl. now that the people don't want it and people recognize it's there, we got to stop it. >> wasn't it refreshing though? i'm wrong, i'm sorry, i'm going to make it right. i felt there was something there, by the way obama could learn from. my second political point. let me go to jamie. atlanta falcons cheerleader, how many years? >> i just did it for one year. a very concentrated year. >> a highly coveted position. i remember watching the reality show about getting on the cheerleading squad for the cowboys. it's hard work. >> it is. >> how are the players to you? >> you know, it was actually the lockout year when i was a cheerleader. so i didn't have a lot of contact with them before the season started. and they're pretty busy during the year. but i think the big thing with this is we need to intercede before they get to the nfl. these are young impressionable men. and i think, you know, i went to

first of all we saw roger goodell saying i didn't know. we had a conversation it was ambiguous, he didn't tell me this, even though we know there was a police report, they spoke to reporters. then two things come out this week, a law enforcement source said i sent a tape to somebody back in june. now sources close to rice are saying he told him face-to-face in that meeting they are putting ray out to dry, he knew. now the question is as robert mural comes on to -- muller comes on to investigate, the former head of fbi, can roger goodell hold on to his job. >> through the most part through his whole career he's controlled the situation. when you're at advising somebody what you tell them, let's get to the bottom of the whole story and see how all these pieces play out. i think what happened there, nobody probably had the courage to say to him, roger that's not the case, don't say it this way. he would have been better off if he had gotten to the punch line day one. there's a lot of money at stake and power, inside the nfl people don't want

guy roger -- >>> roger goodell said he is sorry and he said it many times today. he broke hi sigh 11 after 10 days of almost daily disgraces. he says he will not resign because he is that a lot to do including a policy for players. >> i am not satisfied with what we did. i let myself down and let everyone else down and i'm sorry. >> nfl commissioner roger goodell with an apology today and a promise to do more to draw the growing number of nfl players accused of do me stick vie -- domestic violence. >> we will get our house in order. >> the commissioner who that been glaringly absent in recent weeks didn't say enough to satisfy former fans and players. >> we needed somebody to be a leader and say something substantial. i don't think roger goodell is the guy that can do that anymore. >> four players were pulled from the field uh could youd of domestic violence in the l.a. two weeks since this video showing baltimore ravens star ray rice beating his now wife became public. adrian peterson charged with whipping hi 4-year-old son with a tree branch. the carolina panthe

roger goodell admitted he made a mistake. he said it shouldn't have been a two game, achkd a six-game second offense and then complete dismissal from the informal. >> when you have a private organization, first of all they are using the public air waives to send this stuff out and make al of money. whoem when there's been a history of this kind of abuse among your players, it steams to me that you have an -- >> i agree, bob. >> this action is bad for the brand because it shows they don't do anything until they're caught. but i think we the american people shouldn't be complaining about the nfl. if a crime is committed, you should be arrested. you should be suspended for as many games as you're in jail. that should be the policy. he canibility play, he's in jail. >> he should still go to jail and he should be suspended because he did something that was detrimental to the brand. >> what about michael vick who was convicted of fighting dogs. he later on got -- shouldn't the culture in nfl where crimes are submitted, it should go

here is what roger goodell says he knew and didn't know. what he saw and says he didn't see. here's cnn's miguel marquez. >> reporter: the nfl tapping former fbi director robert mueller to lead an independent investigation looking into how the nfl handled evidence in the domestic violence case against ray rice. mueller's probe will be overseen by two nfl owners and will be made public. the announcement comes hours after the associated press reported a law enforcement source told them the tape of rice violently striking janay was sent to an executive five months ago. in an interview with cbs news on tuesday, nfl commissioner roger goodell maintained the league never saw the video until it went viral on monday. >> so did anyone in the nfl see this second videotape before monday? >> no. >> no one in the nfl? >> no one in the nfl to my knowledge. >> reporter: the ap says their source sent a dvd of the video unsolicited because he wanted them to see it before deciding on rice's punishment. the ap also saying the source played a 12-second voicemail message that came from an nfl off

>> nfl commissioner roger goodell now calling in former fbi chief roger miller to investigate the ray domestic violence incident. this as a law enforcement official reveals he sent the tape to goodell. at least he says he did. goodell said he defendant's exhibit see the tape until this week, when we all did, even though that official played a 12-second voice mail from an nfl office number confirming the rice video arrived on april 9th. digging deeper into the investigation, senior national writer for foxsports.com and sports attorney steve. all right. peter, what do you make of the fact that there was this information that came out last night that this videotape went to the nfl in april and a woman on a voice mail says that she received it and says something to the effect of it's terrible. >> yeah. the nfl promptly respond and said we are not aware of this. this is the first we're hearing of it, and they doubled down saying we believe roger goodell has not seen this video or anyone close to roger goodell has not seen this video until monday. they are all in on this, and last night we

>> this goes back seven years when roger goodell took over. he decided to become the judge and jury and have these personal conduct issues. he waded into the waters and they are complicated and they keep changing. i'm curious if he wishes he wouldn't have said i'm the guy early on. >> leslie, given all your experience on this issue what was your initial reaction to the changes that roger goodell proposed today? >> i view this so much more hopefully and less sinically. i think he said a lot of great things today. the first is he said that the nfl is microo'kozzem of the american society. and he took responsibility at least with words for his role in this. and you know, that's exactly what every single abuser has to do and so few of them do. but the most important thing that he said and that the nfl has done is he admitted they got this wrong because they didn't have women's voices in the debate and the discussion of how to punish ray rice and other players. that's the watershed moment here is that women have become incredibly effective at getti

the it's the roger goodell saga. it's not a story of whether one player -- by the way, one of six players in the roger goodell era to commit an act of violence. those six players all together suspended 13 games in the eight-year roger goodell reign. my favorite was james harrison, long-time nfl player says how does it feel now that the rabbit has the gun, mr. hunter? which is really something. there's that kind of chest thumping. you have held this moral cudgel over nfl for so long. it could look like i'm not a crook, i did not have sex with that woman, mission accomplished. this could brand him and push him out. >> you have richard blumenthal calling for him to resign. insurmountable credibility gap. you have a tweet from "the washington post" who says goodell remains adamant he won't resign. >> anybody who's a student of politics knows the appointing of the independent counsel is a step towards you actually getting canned. >> it's an attempt to quarantine yourself from the scandal. and so say okay, we'll hand this

the it's the roger goodell saga. it's not a story of whether one player -- by the way, one of six players in the roger goodell era to commit an act of violence. those six players all together suspended 13 games in the eight-year roger goodell reign. my favorite was james harrison, long-time nfl player says how does it feel now that the rabbit has the gun, mr. hunter? which is really something. there's that kind of chest thumping. you have held this moral cudgel over nfl for so long. it could look like i'm not a crook, i did not have sex with that woman, mission accomplished. this could brand him and push him out. >> you have richard blumenthal calling for him to resign. insurmountable credibility gap. you have a tweet from t"the washington post" who says goodell remains adamant he won't resign. >> anybody who's a student of politics knows the appointing of the independent counsel is a step towards you actually getting canned. >> it's an attempt to quarantine yourself from the scandal. and so say okay, we'll hand this

yet that is where the nfl and roger goodell find themselves tonight. goodell is under fire with questions what he knew and when after running back ray rice knocked his wife unconscious in a casino elevator. we have seen an angry reaction from players look this one from former st. john than vilma. he should be held accountable for his lack of action just like ray rice has been held accountable for his actions. >> and senator bloomenthal -- >> i want to welcome senator bloomenthal in now. thank you for joining us, senator. >> thank you, rachel. >> i want to follow up on the quote we put up. you are talking how several times roger goodell said the nfl never had the videotape inside the casino elevator, but a recent ap report revealed a voice mail from the league office confirming they in fact had the video. how egregious is senate. >> i think that this credibility issue is extremely egregious because it reflects on roger goodell's good faith in moving forward with more aggressive action against the domestic violence. the bigger to here. what will the nfl

and roger goodell is a big part of that. him handling these issues poorly does not reflect on the bottom line and the numbers. and that's why i don't feel like he will go anywhere. even though i feel like he's handled the situation terribly and not done the right thing at any point, he still makes them a lot of money. >> dave, i have to go to you on this. this has put a renewed focus on why the nfl is a non-profit group and why the nfl has a tax-exempt status. here's the league's office revenue in 2011. $255 million. and here's the taxes they paid. zero. dave, i know you covered this story for a long time. the league's under a microscope now. will this change? >> well, i'll tell you what, i'm really glad that corey booker, senator booker is asking the question. i don't know if corey booker, senator booker would like the answer for why the nfl keeps its tax-exempt status. it's because the nfl has a pact that spent $1.4 million in the last two election cycles. they employ 26 full-time lobbyists in washington to make sure they

roger goodell said the story with rice's people was ambiguous.ice is telling another story and so are witnesses. goodell says that is why he suspended the running back for just two games at the time but his story about unclear, but when he brought the body out there almost lifeless, passed out there that part had to have been clear. keep in mind the "associated press" reported a law enforcement official did in fact send a copy of the video to an executive at the nfl in april. as we reported, that had prompted the league to open whatted called an independent investigation over which two owners will have jurisdiction. our chief correspondent jonathan hunt has been following this thing since it began. seems like four years ago. every day it's something else. >> it really is. this new report, puts new pressure on roger goodell to tell exactly what he knew and when he knew it. the espn report details a june 16th meeting in the commissioner's office where ronalder goodell met with ray rice, jania rice, and other officials,q four sources described as b

and he put all these programs in place, roger goodell, but what is he doing?re you not taking accountability? put some of that money aside and give it to a non-profit. give it back to the nfl. cheryl: what do you think the fans want the? >> sometimes there is this mentality understanding what they want to do exactly what i would like to see them do is say this is our plan of action and follow through with it. but he has 10 days and this is what he came up with. a bunch of buzzwords and a lot of things. talking without saying anything. >> if you have a billion dollars in sponsorship, they say that anheuser-busch takes $200 million and there is a way, roger goodell is probably tired to cook all about the money. you make $10 billion in revenue and you get up there and say that i screwed it up. cheryl: this is about money. this is the most profitable sport in the united states and potentially the world and him coming out and not really handling it as you mentioned, you have to wonder what has happened with sponsors in the boardroom. cheryl: anheuser-busch said we

guy roger -- >>> roger goodell said he is sorry and he said it many times today. he broke hi sigh 11 after 10 days of almost daily disgraces. he says he will not resign because he is that a lot to do including a policy for players. >> i am not satisfied with what we did. i let myself down and let everyone else down and i'm sorry. >> nfl commissioner roger goodell with an apology today and a promise to do more to draw the growing number of nfl players accused of do me stick vie -- domestic violence. >> we will get our house in order. >> the commissioner who that been glaringly absent in recent weeks didn't say enough to satisfy former fans and players. >> we needed somebody to be a leader and say something substantial. i don't think roger goodell is the guy that can do that anymore. >> four players were pulled from the field uh could youd of domestic violence in the l.a. two weeks since this video showing baltimore ravens star ray rice beating his now wife became public. adrian peterson charged with whipping hi 4-year-old son with a tree branch. the carolina panthe
