and they were son tom brady's schedule but not everybody was inside. we were hearing cheers go up saying "brady brady, brady." we heard someone was offering 1,000 dollars for a ticket to go inside. and everybody is very friendly to tom brady here. nobody who i asked seemed to have a problem. they thought the report was heavily weighted to the nfl and the reaction was look rat what this team and that team does. everybody is aware this report came out but it doesn't seem to be phasing the people who came out here in support of tom brady and the patriots anderson. >> and deborah. do you know how many people this auditorium holds? i heard thousands? >> reporter: it holds about 4,000 people. and we heard initially when the tickets went on sale. they virtually all sold out. we were trying to get a couple of tickets to get inside but the organizers said there is no room. so the decision was made they would show the first ten minutes of whatever he said. >> whether it is 100% true it is more likely than not that brady knew the footballs were intentionally knew

new england patriots tom brady firing a bullet back at allegations. his agent charges that the deflate gate report has tragic flaws that suggests investigators reached a conclusion first and then determined so-called facts later. brady first responded to charges that footballs were deflated to his benefit a few days after winning the afc championship game back in january. >> is tom brady is cheater? >> i don't believe so. >> i didn't alter the ball in any way. >> but the report lays out a string of circumstantial evidence against brady concluding that he was at least generally aware that the game balls were deliberately deflated. much of the evidence centereds on two patriots employees, john gentleman strem ski and locker room attendant jim mcnally who referred to himself as the deflart. damning text messages between the two started months earlier, including the jokes about the expected pay back. quote, i have a big needing l for you this week he wrote before one 2014 game. mcnally responded better be surrounded by cash and new kicks or it's a rug by s

. >>> tom brady on the dvs. we're awaiting for his first comments since a report came out saying he probably knew the balls were deflated. he's expected to speak at any moment now. he arrived by helicopter for a speaking event in salem, massachusetts, that was planned before the deflate-gate report came out. and the report said employees probably did it on purpose and that brady probably knew about it. his agent said it was flawed and biassed. and joining us now. there are going to be comments from the university president, before tom brady speaks. and we're going to bring you tom brady brady. do we know the reason for the delay? >> one of the reasons is because the line snaked through the parking lot and even by 10 to 8:00 not everyone was inside. and even though we've been told by an event organizer, they're on tom brady's schedule. well he didn't start. he waited for everybody to get inside. we're hearing a lot of cheers people saying brady, brady, brady. all the people inside planned to be here months ago wh

i take it, that is tom brady. charlie: here's what the report said -- let's assume the latter part of that. based on what you know, is it unlikely somebody would do that without tom's approval or knowledge? peter: absolutely. i would agree. you had troy aikman come out and say -- a quarterback he said there's absolutely no way tom did not know that. a quarterback is totally involved in the preparations of the football. you have that other quarterbacks and players say they simply do not believe tom brady did not know. charlie: you do not know. you are saying -- peter: you know what i am an easy about? what you are going to do is brand this guy something not only for the rest of his career but for the rest of his life. i am uncomfortable with all of the wording, "more probable than not," is about as definitive as ted wells desperate more probable than not. do i want to -- you know put this mantle on tom brady's legacy shoulders for the rest of his life based on "more probable than not?" charlie: how do we settle thi

tom brady is one of those guys you can go into their patriots offices and see a lot of stuff that tom brady was signed. if somebody wanted something for charity, tom brady would do it. i am not saying he did not do the quid pro quo. there is no proof. charlie: we walked out together right in front of me and said to someone later how gracious he was in everybody wanted to take a picture with him. rather remarkable. peter: charlie i have an interesting relationship with him. five days after the super bowl this year, i said i want to write a column about your last 2 drives. it will probably be your greatest quarter. the number one defense a you drive the length of the field twice with the super bowl on the line having lost 2 super bowl spree you have to make these 2 drives and yet the score touchdowns. we were on the phone for probably 75 minutes five days after the game. i am the one who got off the phone, not him. i have always found him to the accommodating. charlie: it sounds i you want to get him a pass. you think it is circumstantial evidence. he has a great legacy print he is a gr

i think the time for lenience for tom brady in the eyes of roger goodell and tom vincent, who's the executive vice president of the nfl, who's in charge of player discipline, the time for discipline in their eyes is long gone. and i think the fact that brady was uncooperative, was blatantly did not tell the truth as far as they're concerned, and also the fact that the patriots are repeat offenders in terms of crossing goodell's office in terms of cheating. >> arlen specter wanted the senate involved in that. >> let me ask you, guys, in all seriousness, one of the equipment managers goes into a bathroom, a one-toilet bathroom, but with 24 footballs. i mean, that's funny. he squeezes in there, got 24 footballs into the toilet. he didn't go to the bathroom. he went to the bathroom to do something with these -- nobody walks into a bathroom with these 24 footballs. the whole thing is a ludicrous -- it's like a "saturday night live" picture. but he did it because the quarterback needed to have had a better grip on the ball. and especially in cold weather. we've got two balls here we're going to bri

and tom brady, this is unacceptable.ou have to take responsibility, steve, and i know you're saying it's no smoking gun, but don't you feel like after the report that came out, over 240 pages, tom brady being implicated and then not sharing text messages to me that's the ultimate. >> couldn't be more guilty. >> steve, before we rely i want to remind jordan that tom brady beat your team using the regulation football. okay? that's not in doubt. he won the super bowl using regulation footballs and that ultimately, steve, in the world of sports that ultimately is his best defense. i could have won the games if i was using regulation balls even though, obviously, i was conspireing not to. >> well right. i would would raise the question, too, why would they even do this in the first place? realistically, yeah, as a patriots fan i can admit does it look like they were up to something here? yes, absolutely. does 95% of the country believe that? yes, absolutely. but the analogy that's been drawn for me think about the game of hoc

evidence and if they believe there is a preponderance of evidence they will, i think, come down hard on tom bradyr you saying, in fact, he has so much to lose, tom does, that if they are wrong, it's a terrible terrible, life-long injustice to him. >> yep. >> rose: and that's a risk they have to really, really think about. >> that's a risk they have to weigh in. i'm just saying if i were roger goodell and troy vinson in the league office who are going to decide this along with jeff patch legal counsel i would push to spent two or three hours with tom brady because i would want him to look me in the face and i would want to hear from him about this. and i'm not so unsure that that's not going to happen. but before i did that to a cornerstone of the game, before i said you'reñr suspended, you're fined or something i would want him to have him look me in the eye and tell me what he feels is justice and what he feels is correct. >> rose: suppose at some point he does that, and let's assume that, for whatever reason, there is a conclusion that it was done and tom knew. what's the appropriate punishment

i think tom brady has questions to answer. charlie: you have any idea how the patriots or tom will respond? peter: bob kraft, the owner of the patriots, is -- vascillates between defiance and despond. defiant that he has been told by bill belichick and tom brady absolutely unequivocally we had no idea what was going on and we did not do this. brady has basically said nothing had happened. i did not do this. bob kraft, that is not his bailiwick. i would never say name for -- i would never say never but that is not his bailiwick. kraft, everything he is done with this franchise has been about trying to do something to keep the team in new england first of all. and secondly to give the people of new england team they could be proud of. that is why it hurts them. charlie: have you talked to him? peter: i have had a conversation with him but nothing on the record or nothing reportable. i am hoping in the coming days to speak to him. charlie: is there any idea of what brady is going to do? is he going to have a press conference or a

in this statement we are getting from tom brady's agent what tom brady is telling the nfl is i don't think you guys have the goods on me. you quoted some of them. this statement from brady's lawyer playing with the same language used in the nfl report. the statement saying it is more probable than not that the league cooperated with the colts in perpetrating a sting operation saying collusion and they have limited understanding of professional football and saying conflict of interest in terms of relationship between the law firm that did this and the nfl and basically the nfl ordered a report and law firm provided it and paid what they wanted and got what they wanted. when brady's people look at the report yesterday you can find 23 instances where the language is qualified where it says more probable than not, likely we think, we believe. in a court of public opinion it is a damming document. what brady's people are betting here is the nfl cannot come down with a severe harsh penalty like a lot of people are calling for if they can't definitively prove and get beyond probably, maybe

patriots fans love their team they especially love tom brady. i like tom's line where he said it was like a patriots pep rally. it sure sounded like that to me sitting here in norchester section of boston. >> am i wrong, he both here in this appearance and also in that appearance he did during media week in the run-up to the super bowl when this was sort of a big story, really does seem kind of pained and uncomfortable. it may be just because it's not the position he's normally in. but he certainly doesn't seem like he's comfortable with the way all this is going down. >> well i don't know who would be. i didn't see him. i've been listening to him. and throughout his career, he's adept at dealing with the media and he sounded the same way to me. i thought he sounded fine. one thing he didn't say, and one thing don yee didn't say to you or in his statement today was did he know about the deflation of the footballs? or did he or did he not? and neither one said that. that's what's left hanging. >> that really is. and i notice from mr. yee's respons

scathing words come after the league's investigators said quote, it is more probable than not that tom brady was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities. there's a lot of circumstantial evidence here, but the report does not have a smoking gun. we do not know what to expect from brady tonight. and here's how he responded to the controversy on three different occasions after the story broke in january. >> some reports post-game last night, that the league is looking into that the patriots your team were deflating the balls within the game. have you heard about this story? do you know the story i'm talking about? >> no i don't. >> would you care to tell me if you were deflating balls? >> no i have no idea. >> i would never do anything outside of the rules of the play. i would never, you know, you know, have someone do something that i thought was outside of the -- >> so you have never -- >> are you confidence that in the end, that fans will be able the to say, i have no doubt about tom brady, that he's on the up and up. >> well i think -- look everybody's entitled to an opinio

yi tom brady's agent. i'm going to read it. in his words, he says the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. he says in my opinion, the outcome was predetermined. and this is something that we heard from him a few days ago after the report was issued erin. he said there is no fairness in the wells investigation whatsoever. tom brady's agent says in fact the evidence shows tom clearly emphasized that footballs be set within the rules. he also stresses that he feels that tom cooperated fully with the investigation. this is counter to the nfl's punishment and letter to him that they leveed today. and he said that they will appeal. there is no question about it. and he stresses that he wants that appeal to be heard by an independent source. now this is important now. he says an independent and completely neutral person. roger goodell, erin is the person who is supposed to hear these appeals. that is not independent in don yi tom brady's agent's eyes. they can designate somebody else to hear the

tom brady.ort said. more than probable tom brady was at least generally aware. it said more probable than not patriots personnel participated in the deliberate effort to release air from the balls. it's unlikely an equipment assistant or locker attendant would deflate the game balls without brady's approval. how do you react? >> sean when you're using a phrase like more probable than not, and that's being written by a law firm what that really means is that we believe in our opinion. it's 50.1% versus 49.9%. >> i actually agree with you. i mean i think those words were purposely used which i think is an indicator that in spite of what people want i know a lot of people are -- other fans of other teams want tom brady punished. but those words tell me there's no punishment coming. what do you expect? and if he did get a punishment what would you do? >> i really don't know what to expect sean because the recent history of the league when it comes to disciplinary measures and i'm just looking at its

at the en i would have said in new england tom brady will always be the golden boy. a good point nationally. it's a question of what his reputation is going to be. the patriots not tom particularly but coach bill belichick have a reputation of pushing rules to the limit. this is just another example of that. this time brady gets involved. i think if you talk to people many indianapolis or denver or new york i think his reputation is going to fall a lot. >> why not talk about this while we're waiting to see what he'll say tonight when has the prescheduled event. how did you characterize the agent's statement in the sting operation. what's the proof? is it what the agent is supposed to say because of how many zeros he's getting representing brady? >> he was doing his job. the point he makes is a good argument actually. it's also refeuded in the report they said it was definitely not a sting operation. you could, when you read it -- he has the page number. i think page 46 and footnote 25 i believe. the colts talk to the nfl before the game about the pressure in footballs

>> tom brady is the victim of his own foolishness.s man knew what he was doing with those balls. to say that he didn't know what he was doing is ridiculouridiculou s. not only is the patriots getting off very light, but they are showing people that you cannot cheat an insuperable and get away with it. charles: if someone told me a long time ago if you are not cheating, you're not trying. and that's amazing, we are talking serious money here. >> yes, tens of millions of dollars in endorsements. when you think about the punishment, it's really nothing. >> do you think that he will lose endorsements over this? >> not on this. if anything it will elevate his profile. >> everyone who has a commercial deal with him right now is deciding whether they should do anything. the surprise would be if he did lose some endorsements because that would be damaging financially not only to his reputation. i don't think he will, but that will be a surprise. >> but remember that his whole brand is mr. america. he's gorgeous, he's successful, married to a

i think there's a good chance tom brady will face a suspension of some sort at the end of the day it was a very detailed thorough report by a well respected attorney who concludes it's more likely than not that brady knew what was going on and knew that the rules were being broken. i think given all of that it's pretty likely we're going to see some sort of discipline against tom brady himself. >> we have that sound now from the press conference where tom brady defended himself against the accusations. >> i didn't alter the ball in any way. i have a process i go through, before every game where i go in and pick balls i want to -- the footballs i want to use for the game. i feel like i've always played within the rules. i would never do anything to break the rules. i believe in fair play and respect the league and everything they are doing to try to create competitive playing field for all of the nfl teams. >> that's tom brady saying he didn't alter the ball in any way. rob, remind us was it just the colts game where the patriots defeated the game 45-7 was that the only time they were

but in this case tom brady lied. in this case he cheated. we do not know whether or not from this report if that had an impact in the game which pushed it a different way than official to new england. so the nfl should absolutely come down and suspend him. it should be an asterisk at the last super bowl season and it should be the beginning of the beginning. if you go back over the stuff new england did the last 15 years, there is so much more there. >> come on. >> steve has lots of things to say about this but i want to go to ross because passions run high when we talk about the new england patriots and football in general. i mean do you think there will actually be any sort of punitive measure meted out? >> i don't think there's any question about it. the real question in my mind is whether it's just tom brady and the equipment guys. i don't know how you punish the equipment guys other than those guys are probably fired. or whether it goes to the entire organization. because it's only a couple of years ago that the new orleans saints' head

after he got yelled at by a, quote, angry tom brady. there are cameras in the locker rooms. this is from mcnally. tom sucks, i'm going to make that next ball an f-in balloon, meaning, i'll make it inflated properly, not the way tom brady would want it in a cold weather climate such as new york or new england. so maybe the jets were victims because the patriots won that game too? >> just like the -- when they got caught filming people, i'm sure that wasn't the first time they did this. you know, those footballs, when it's cold out, they are very hard to catch, very hard to throw. they're brand new footballs. and the kickers do whatever they can to doctor the balls to make them less slick. for a quarterback, for the ball to be deflated would be a big advantage in gripping the ball, and help him be more accurate with throws in the cold weather. liz: of course. >> that's very disappointing. liz: check this out, erik, a whole bunch tests and to me somewhere really negative for tom brady. looks like tom brady was greasing will hand of this guy, mcnally. mcnally requests that the ne

all the speculation and conversation on tom brady and what the punishment from the league might be inou thought that brady would show some contrition and acknowledge maybe he had some knowledge of this, anything like that think again because there is a statement from his agent moments ago. it is white hot. it is defiant. it is aggressive and going right after the league. he calls the report a significant and terrible disappointment. he accuses the league of having a conflict of interest with the law firm that conducted the investigation saying the league is a rich source of money for the law firm saying this was not an independent investigation. specifically here the agent here for tom brady having some fun with the language used in that report. there were lots of qualifying words in the report about it more probable than not. this is from tom brady's agent saying this suggests it may be more probable than not that the league cooperated with the colts in perpetrating a sting operation suggesting that this came to light because of aclusion between the colts and the nfl. tom brady's age
