and the other reason is the dwindling credibility of roger goodell. you go to spy gate with materials being destroyed. and with that, it doesn't just hit you all at one time. it's piece by piece by piece, and now you're goodell and you have to answer for footballs. >> today was media day, which was a big day in the run-up to the super bowl. marshawn lynch for the seattle seahawks, does not like to talk to the press. he'll usually give them the same answer over and over again. an espn reporter tweeted that he was threatened with a half million dollar fine if he doesn't show up to media day. so he showed up and here is how he played it. >> marshawn lynch, it's your show, take it away. >> you can ask me what you want i'm going to answer with the same answer. i'm here so i won't get fined. i'm here so i won't get fined. i'm here so i won't get fined. i'm just here so i won't get fined. hey, i'm here so i won't get fined. i'm here so i won't get fined. i'm just here so i don't get fined. i'm just here so i won't get fined. hey, i'm just here so i won't get

roger goodell gave his version of the state of the union.re was so much nonsense that it felt like we were at the circus. we set some of the highlights of the press conference to the appropriate music. sit back and enjoy. >> we take seriously the integrity of the game. it is my responsibility to take responsibility of the integrity of the game. we have been soul-searching starting with yours truly. we have people that have uncompromising integrity. the integrity is impeccable. >> hello. i'm the nfl super kid. >> i was in a gym at; this morning -- 10:00 this morning i was doing the elliptical. the highest level of integrity. that's the integrity of our game. thank you. enjoy the weekend. >> my question to you, you are a great student of roger goodell. a great student over the management of public image. which questions do you think, do you think he handled worse? the ones about the deflated balls or if he should keep his job. >> he handled the one where he tells everyone his workout routine very well. i love that the one plant in the audience

bob craft stands at the top of the roger goodell loy alycealist list.defended roger goodell's eye popping $44 million salary something that the reporting shows. and also that bob craft was part of orchestrating roger goodell's rather disastrous defense last fall after videotape was released of ray rice striking his wife. janay. would be draft was orchestrater of that. they're saying are the patriots going to get punished at all. >> the ray rice incident of course we all hopefully saw the immediate seriousness of that beyond that couple, and national conversation on domestic violence. i have to say regarding deflate gate i saw it as entertaining and criticized by people that follow me i thought it was an snl moment that would be yucked up. when you start to discuss issues of conflicting relationships and things that could compromise i think it does perhaps take it past what myself and others guiltily saw as a story to keep buzz going for the super bowl. >> i am very serious about the simile i am about to make. capone it was tax evasion. critics of richar

and robert kraft. >> so back up roger goodell became commissioner in 2006. as one of his biggest champions. he determines roger's salary. robert kraft is on that committee. he is also on the broadcast committee that does the billion dollar deals. so roger goodell's group is owners and it includes robert kraft. >> i would love to be a fly on the wall here. for the first time since anyone can remember they're on the opposite sides of an issue. goodell has to come out and do something that shows that he has control over this league. so now he is essentially at odds with his biggest ally. >> here is kraft firing a warning shot toward roger goodell about demanding an apology. >> if the wells investigation is not able to definitively determine that our organization tampered with the air pressure in the footballs, i would expect and hope that the league would apologize to our entire team and in particular coach belichick and tom brady for what they had to endure this past week. >> two observations first of all, the verb endure seems a bit much. second, robert kraft'

roger goodell will be asked about that.issues from drug testing to the domestic violence progress that they have made in terms of combatting the player issues they have with personal conduct all of the way to l.a. and will we see an nfl team in l.a. in a few years? a possibility of that. a wide range this morning. >> can't wait to hear. should be interesting. talk about security for just a second. it's going to be intense on sunday. >> we're really going to see the ramp up starting today and it is amazing the coordination of agencies here. there's been talk lately about whether the nfl should keep its tax exemption status it has. antitrust status. i got to tell you, a lot of taxpayer dollars are going toward this effort. you've got the u.s. border patrol loaning blackhawk helicopters. you have the tsa loaning some of its screening equipment and its screeners. the federal air marshals are loaning behavioral specialists to walk through the crowd and there are bomb sniffing dogs nuclear bomb sniffing dogs. i don't know how you

roger goodell gave his state of the nfl address. in that he discussed the recent year saying it was a tough year and a humbling and a learning year. he pledged continued focus on that new personal conduct policy. there will be a thorough investigation into deflate gate and promised to make the final report public. interesting news from him. speak of deflate gate all of the balls were handed over to officials yesterday. each team allowed to give 54 instead of 12. they will give the extras to charity and the nfl said there will be extra security on the balls until kickoff. back to you. >> i bet there will be. live for us in phoenix. if you are betting with someone on the super bowl and you win, those winnings are actually taxable. the super bowl is the most gambled on sporting event of the year. according to the american gambling association, they will generate $3.8 billion in illegal bets. whether it's legal or illegal, they are taxable income. >> and have we mentioned, the super bowl station. just stick with us. game coverage starts

everybody from bob costas to the bettors in vegas thought that roger goodell would be fired this year he wasn't. that shows that the profitability that he brings to the nfl is more important than any other concern. he's not going to be fired. i think if he cared about the long-term of the league and preventing domestic violence, he would resign, but i don't see that happening either. >> that's all for new, but the conversation continues on our website on "consider this." we're on facebook and twitter, and you can tweet me at amora tv. we'll see you next time. >> between 1990 and 2003 nasa launched four satellites to photograph our galaxy across the spectrum of both visible and invisible light. they made up the agency's "great observatory program" and each orbiting telescope saw things a little differently, and now the youngest of the four satellites has just finished its mission. the spitzer space telescope is an infrared camera, it detects objects that our eyes can't see and it has taken 2.5 million photographs over the course of almost 10 years in operation. >> 2.5 million photograp

that financial success earned roger goodell more than $44 million last year alone. ng us today is christine brennan, our cnn commentator lz granderson and gabriel sherman who's written an excellent article about goodell for "gq" magazine. christine, what's the biggest challenge facing the commissioner right now? >> wolf i think it is sounding honest sounding truthful sounding like he cares and like there are results coming. and i think that's as rachel pointed out, what didn't happen in september. he has had all this time now to prepare. my sense is he will come out here and be stronger and more forceful. he will be facing a lot of tough questions. and i hope it's not all about deflategate as you alluded to. so much of a minor story, even though it's important, compared to domestic violence the personal conduct policies. huge issues involving the nfl. the nfl is a mirror of our society. >> hold on. here's the commissioner. >> good morning. before getting to your questions, let me make a few comments. first, congratulations to the seahawks and the patriots. they emerg

one of his points is how can roger goodell, since he is so tight with the owner of the new england patriots kraft, how can you have an unbiased investigation. that question was asked of goodell today. what's your assessment of that? >> reporter: well it's a tough spot to be in and they would do themselves a favor by distancing them from an investigation that does have a bunch of conflicts of interest. that was a fantastic article in "gq." i believe gabe referred to robert kraft as quote the assistant commissioner quoting an nfl executive. that's the perception no matter what you do and that was my point in talking to roger goodell today, you can run an investigation with the highest integrity but if that is the perception there are people in the public who are going to discount it and there's no reason to give yourself that credibility gap. why put that in your own way? why not create a situation where you don't have a credibility gap and then when people of the highest integrity investigate a situation, everybody can take the results at face value. wouldn't that be nice. >> how about let's

so that is one reason why roger goodell is still commissioner of the nfl. and a commissioner who draws a hefty salary. north of $30 million a year. >> indeed craig, when you are making people richer it is a secure place to be job-wise. so it doesn't sound like he is going anywhere. not a pleasant weekend. just unpleasantness ahead of the super bowl. thanks craig. >>> now to the other big developing story. the answer that republicans have been waiting for and it is no. mitt romney is not running for president. >> after putting considerable thought into making another run for president, i've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become the next nominee. >> he made the announcement during the pair of in vitation only conference calls this morning after teasing a potential run for the white house. almost immediately other potential candidates issued statements. jeb bush said mitt is a patriot and i join many in hoping that his days of serving our nation and our party are not over and i look forward to working with him to show

it has to do with a relationship between roger goodell and patriots owner robert craft. >> will they be punished? no nos as long as they're still taking pictures at each other's homes. talk about conflict of industry. >> here is the picture showing goodell at craft's house the night before the afc championship game. since that party was for team sponsors that helps the team and nfl grow revenues, that sherman benefitted from that too. it is so large is kraft's way is they like to call him the assistant commissioner. one of the two shermans will join me at this table.

he was out here a while ago talking about how happy roger goodell must be about -- how happy roger goodell must be with this inflategate thing or whatever they call it. >> deflate. >> huh? >> deflate. >> thank you. >> let her tell the story. because it takes the attention away from all the other -- >> scandals. >> more serious can scandals in the league. >> bring them to the light in my opinion. it's been a very long year for nfl commissioner roger goodell. it all started with the ray rice scandal scandal, then came the adrian peterson situation, and now like vance said dealing with deflategate. that investigation still ongoing. with this long list of issues in the nfl, goodell addressed media for more than 48 minutes today taking fastball after fastball from reporters for most of that press conference. >> can you envision any set of circumstances which would lead you to resign or being fired as your job as commissioner? >> no i can't. i -- does that surprise you? listen it has been a tough year. it's been a tough year on me personally. it's been a year of what i would say humility and lea

your home for the most live sports. >>> roger goodell runs the nfl. in front a whole lot of reporters today and they hit him pretty hard didn't they? >> yeah they did. he took question after question for about 48 minutes. roger goodell is in charge of the most popular sport in this country by a long shot. this season the shield has been damaged. goodell has overseen scandals like the ray rice situation along with deflate-gate. with super bowl xlix just days away the commissioner addressed the media giving his take on the state of the nfl. >> it's been a year of what i would say humility and learning. we obviously as an organization have gone through adversity, but more importantly it's been adversity for me. and that's something where we take that seriously. it's an opportunity for us to get better. it's an opportunity for us for our organization to get better so we've all done a lot of soul searching starting with yours truly. >> goodell also said the investigation into deflate-gate is still ongoing. let's move on to golf now. not exactly the start t

>> well, don, there are 32 people that roger goodell has to answer to and none of them are talking onnel right now. the owners of the nfl are pretty happy with roger goodell, and this is a $9 billion business, and if you want to know how happy he is with them and the last reported salary for a year was $44 million, and that is not as much as your salary, but that is going to let you know where he places the value, because he has made them a tremendous amount of money, and the super bowl this weekend is expected to be the highest rated television program of all time. you can charge $4.5 million for 30 seconds of commercials, and that man is keeping his job. >> and yes, it is 25 of 28 of the top television shows are all sports nfl-related shows. i have to ask you about the marshawn lynch, and is he just acting here, and the brand? >> if he is, he is doing an unbelievable job, because the promotion for the brand, and this is all about the beast mode, the brand, and when you look at what he is able to do this week, and he does not mind to pay the fines, and maybe he is going to be paying

. >> sreenivasan: roger goodell came to the microphones, in phoenix, arizona, with a simple summary.een a tough year. it's been a tough year on me personally. >> sreenivasan: indeed, even the run-up to super bowl 49 has been dominated by something else: under-inflated footballs that new england used in its conference title win. >> we take seriously anything >> we are focusing principally on two questions: why were some footballs used in the game that were not compliance to the rules? and was this the result of deliberate action? >> sreenivasan: far more serious questions also persist: nearly a year ago, ray rice of the baltimore ravens punched out his then-fiancÉe and was ultimately dismissed from the team. later, adrian peterson, the minnesota vikings star, was caught up in child abuse accusations. goodell was roundly criticized for his handling of the incidents. today, he said he and the league have taken it all to heart. >> we've done a great deal to bring more awareness to these issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. we are committed to that. >> sreenivasan: to that end,

only do they see it as unacceptable but 55 cases have gone unanswered under the leadership of roger goodell. they also see the nfl and the players themselves as role models as leaders right in this country. >> it's the group behind the _#goodell must go calling for the commissioner to be fired. in nbc 4 as your super bowl station, coverage starts at noon. kick offat 6:30 sunday night. stay tuned after the game for an all new episode of "the black list" followed by a special news 4. >>> still to come meteorologist amelia seagull is tracking a storm headed our way. we'll tell you what kind of impact it may have on you. >>> washington redskins how he and other we thought our cable internet was fast. but, our uploads are half the speed of our downloads so our internet is really half-fast. so half-fast. someone did a half-fast job posting our vacation pics. when i post my slow jams, i'm a little half fast totally half fast stop living with half fast internet. only verizon fios comes with speedmatch - uploads as fast as downloads. so his homework won't be so half-fast? that is up to him. call the

will, what did roger goodell say to the media yesterday? >> hi, kelly. ainly been an exciting season but at times tumultuous so commissioner goodell came out yesterday and took on some of his toughest critics, the first topic was the so-called deflate gate. he came out and said that the nfl is continuing to investigate and has not made any judgment. he went on to say that it's his biggest priority here to continue to protect the integrity of the game and if it is found that the patriots did cheat, then they will be held accountable. he also went on to announce the new position for a chief medical officer in part addressing the concussion scandal. then there were the issues this year with ray rice, adrian peterson. goodell says he's taking it seriously but has no plans to resign. >> listen, i -- it has been a tough year. it's been a tough year on me, personally. it's been a year of what i would say humility and learning. we take that seriously. it's an opportunity for us to get better. >> looking ahead to super bowl xlix, authorities say that security is a

. >> my question to you, you are a great student of roger goodell.ch questions do you think, do you think he handled worse? the ones about the deflated balls or if he should keep his job. >> he handled the one where he tells everyone his workout routine very well. the one plant in the audience let him say he was working out. there is a certain -- it's odd how he repeated integrity over and over. he did a better job than the one in september in the midst of the ray rice controversy. this was a morse today crowd. this is the super bowl. there is a certain media person that comes here someone who is part of the establishment nfl media that is not going to push him too hard. there were maybe three actual tough questions asked, not including the kid who asked. one tough questions came from nichols, where he did not completely belittle her. the interesting thing is there was a cockiness that wasn't there in september. he made it through. he survived. he made it through the difficult part. you saw that in his response. >> you basically are referring to your

you see bob craft and roger goodell and their wives hanging out at craft's house. to you chris, when you see all of this. he said specifically his words on deflate-gate we have made no judgments on that. what was your take away? >> i don't think they have made judgments on that. the issue i have, ex player media, all of us alike. nfl always seem to have protocol when it comes to governing the players of nfl. off the field incidents, drug violations whatever it is. when it comes to governing themselves you don't see a policy in place. it's like we're going to make it up by the seat of our pants. that bothers me. i'm interested to see how this whole thing plays out because of the robert craft issue. everyone around the nfl knows he's one of the more powerful owners in this league. he and goodell have a good relationship. there's questions and information that needs to be released. no doubt about it. the the integrity of the game if this ends up being true there needs to be harsh penalties by the nfl on the patriots if we find it to be true. >> we heard from craft ear

field action grabbing headlines, from domestic violence, sexual assault violations, the league and roger goodell widely criticized for inconsistent handling of events. goodell will step into the spotlight later today for the state of the nfl address, a speech where many hope to hear a strong reinforcement of new league policies. >> there should be a zero tolerance. if you hit someone you lose your job. if i hit someone i'll probably lose my job. >> reporter: fans celebrate in arizona this weekend and a new champion is crowned this sunday, the future direction of the nfl will be played out in the months to come. and despite those off the field events the nfl had another record season and now that the weekend is here in arizona, excitement really ramping up. we were just talking about next year's excitement, guys and the guy behind the camera, photographer nelson and i are confident the niner also play in 20 2016. >> awesome to hear. we're hosting and we'd love to see that for sure. bob redell also in phoenix this morning, he'll join us in about 15 minutes with more on what bay area leaders are do

what does roger goodell do? he's friends with bob kraft. he was a big defender of him during the domestic abuse scandal the nfl has been weathering. how does he respond? is it fine and hurting them in the draft? i think it's going to depend on the answers. how do 11 out of 12 footballs get deflated? if tom brady comes on and says look this is on me. the ball boys know i like a ball with less pressure, right down to 12.5 pounds. which is the lowest that you can have. i guess they messed up and a couple of the balls, 11 out of 12 were off. it's on me. so if he does that it's tom brady. you're going to believe it. what does roger goodell do then? fine the patriots? sure. take a draft choice? i don't think so. >> what if he doesn't come out with the explanation? >> they are going to have to find out how this occurred. >> he can't go out and say i laughed this off. the truth is i manipulated the balls. he's going to say a variation of what mike just said. >> and are we confident ha the nfl can get to the bottom of this? it would seem transparent

i think that roger goodell is taking the steps that he needed to have taken long before this. everybody saw the individualvideo, the outrage escalated and with that suddenly a committee, and now all kinds of interactions going on and roger goodell and the education, and the money thrown at this, and this is something they are addressing now. >> and rachel i wa want tont to ask you this because people are say ging, i want to be watching the game and be sberentertained, and is this too heady a subject or fans are saying about time? >> well, it is not too heavy of a subject, but the fan ss are saying no matter what happens within the league, they love football. 28 of the top 30 shows on tv this past fall were nfl games. you walk around here in phoenix, and you have been hearing the music around here, and the party here and the money is pour inging n and the advertising revenue, and the ticket sales, and walking around the buildings here and slong that happen, that is the nfl's bottom line and that is what they will care about the most. >> and will there is something that we want

one of the bill belichick swindles. >> i don't think there's any question that roger goodell, commissioner goodell and the entire league, administration is going to be under the microscope in determining how they'll move forward on this. >> they're cheaters. and they should be punished for it. >> earlier today, nbc sports analyst russ tucker, and offensive lineman with the patriots, and hines ward gave me their reaction to the news. >> well, it's about the integrity of the football game. and anytime someone uses some way, some form or fashion to gain an advantage on the football field, you're breaking the rules. it's called cheating. that's why it's a story. it affects the integrity of our football game. >> ross, do you imagine there will be a sanction, if in fact they're found guilty of doing this on purpose? >> yeah, i think there will be serious sanctions. i think there should. this is a pattern of behavior. this is a second offense. and evidently you look back at spygate, belichick was fined, they lost draft picks. apparently that was not enough of a deterrent. it really bothers me as
