now it goes to roger goodell and troy vincent and they have to make a decision how they want to punish damning quote in this tom brady declined to make available any documents or electronic information including text messages and e-mails that we request. so he didn't cooperate with the investigation essentially what they are saying and they found he was involved in this #deflategate. i think brady could get whacked pretty hard by the league on this. >> what do you think -- let's remind everybody, this began after the patriots defeated the colts in the afc game 45-7. it was a great game but does this bass ardize the results of the super bowl? >> look i don't know how much it necessarily paints the results of everything the patriots did. the patriots were going to pound on the colts regardless of deflated footballs. that was a match-up that everybody looked at and thought the patriots were the better team. >> why would the patriots need to probably cheat? >> because everybody is looking for an edge thomas whether it's guys stuffing up baseballs using pine tar, everybody is looking for an

the executive vice president troy vincent said by not cooperating with the investigation, brady's actions were considered conduct detrimental to the league. his agent tom yee said the discipline is ridiculous and has no basis. the nfl lacks standards with the handling of footballs before the games. vincent's letter to the patriots mentioned the team's prior record including the spygate scandal as a factor. the patriots are the only franchise since 1980 to be stripped of a first round pick. it happened to them twice. the nfl doubling the fine this time and hitting tom brady harder than they did bill belichick. robert kraft released a statement in regards to the punishment. he said the punishment exceeded any reasonable expectation. it was circumstantial. tom brady has our unconditional support. reaction to the brady suspension got mixed reaction. patriots running back was blunt tweeted this is absolutely ridiculous. shaking my head. #patsnation. patrick peterson said well done, nfl, #deflategate. and steve weatherford. tom brady suspended four games. ridiculous. comparing it to steroid use

troy vincent wrote your actions clearly constitute conduct detrimental to the integrity of and publiconfidence in the the game of professional football. jason la canfora said brady deserves some of the blame for the deflate-gate. >> he didn't stop it. and they're taking this as a pretty serious affront to the game. >> reporter: brady's agent called it ridiculous. we will appeal and if the hearing officer is completely independent and neutral, i'm confident the wells report will be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic. brady vigorously denied any wrongdoing and addressed it last week. >> certainly, i accept my role and responsibility as a public figure. >> reporter: some of the teammates criticized the decision on twitter. bob kraft wrote, tom brady has our unconditional support, our belief in him has not wavered. >> but eli manning called it conflicting. >> if someone is breaking rules, i understand that you get punished for it. >> reporter: those two staffers jastremski and mcnally has been suspended indefinitely by the league. the nfl said they will not

i personally know troy vincent who is making some of these decisions. he is a former player. >> jordan, what is your reaction? in light of the fact there was no smoking gun. but they clearly said that he generally knew do you think that this is a more harsh punishment than you would have expected? >> i thought it was just right. if not enough to be honest. at first i thought this would take more time and it would not be a suspension. the more you looked into it. there was not necessarily a smoking gun. the evidence was enough and substantial enough and a 243 page report that was truncated in some respects. it shows they wouldn't take competitive advantages away from the rest league in an unfair manner and tom brady arguably the face of the nfl in the last decade plus gets four games to me. to me it was just right but you could have made a case to six or eight. that shows the nfl is taking it seriously enough. >> let me ask you, you played in the nfl. you know inevitably there will be a response and contesting this from the players association. right? >>

in a statement the company nfl vice president of operations troy vincent is saying it is impossible to whether this activity had an effect on the outcome of the games, but there is little question it was not affected. again the nfl saying they took into consideration part that the put a versus had in the past including 2017 being a part of the rivals again. tom brady will be suspended without pay for the first four games and again the put as will pay a $1 million fine in 2016, mel wlis a, back to you. >> pete nigerian, was this serious enough. >> yes, i think troy vincent took what he needed to do here and roger goodell was patting him on the back. unfortunately, they cannot lose what they got in the nfl. they have been tarnished already from last year. when you look at what's going on here, financially, this hits tom brady, that's incredible. you lose a 1st round draft pick. these are very stiff. this is exactly, however, let's all remember one thing. i don't think this deflated ball affected anything, the second half of the put as game, it became in question, tom had a much better se

by troy vincent being the one that decided the punishment, in roger goodell, troy vincent is the decider here, to bring up one of our political terms, he's trying to wade through this conflict of interest issue. we should say preponderance of the evidence, civil suit standard, that is in the integrity clause in nfl rooms. that is set out all they have to prove, more criminal version of beyond a reasonable doubt. that's not something they were told to go find. >> get ready to learn jimmy garoppolo. he's the patriots quarterback that could be playing. >> tom brady will be sitting on the sidelines or maybe not. >> thank you so much. great to see you both. >>> turn to baltimore now, new developments in the case of the death of freddie gray. cnn sources say major discrepancies are emerging between police investigation and the prosecutor's investigation. >> so what we are told, police findings could undercut make of the most serious charges brought by state's attorney marilyn moseby against six officers charged in the death of freddie gray. it needs to be said the leaking of this information c

this is troy vincent deciding what will happen. he can punish them by suspending brady, by fining him, you know, fining him is not really going to accomplish a lot. >> what does it mean to you? you care about sports. what does it mean -- i mean, anybody who has ever thrown a football knows there is a difference in how much air is in it, how easy it is to throw it. you get it just right, you can throw it good spiral maybe. but you can't if it's too blown up, it's hard. >> tom brady and peyton manning in 2006 created this rule whereby the home team would supply -- each team would supply its own footballs before the home team did. well, it's pretty clear that there was a reason for that. these guys know what they want. they know exactly what they want. and the equipment managers, the guys who take the new footballs and get them ready for that. they're the ones who break them in, rub dirt on them and all that. so the idea that these two guys would do this without the awareness of tom brady is according to ted wells and his group prepos

in a letter to the quarterback nfl executive troy vincent told the four-time super bowl championship there is substantial and credible evidence those included emails and texts. brady will be allowed to take part in all off season training camp and preseason activities. the patriots were fined $1 million and forced to forfeit two draft picks. vincent told the organization in a letter that the nfl investigation found the patriots violated league policy on the integrity of the game and enforcement of competitive rules. the letter also cited evidence in the wells' report that there was an ongoing plan by certain patriots' employees to deflate footballs before games and to hide those activities. when the wells report came out last week, patriots' owner robert kraft said it did not include any hard evidence of deliberate deflation of footballs. patriots employees john jastremski and james mcnally have been suspended without pay for their role in the incident. released a statement calling the punishment ridiculous and without basis. he also said brady will appeal. scott, the report found no

former eagle troy vincent, the nfl's executive president, he wrote to brady "there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were at least generally aware of the actions of the patriots' employees involved in the deflations of the footballs, and it's unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge." bob costas on nbc's nightly news says commissioner roger goodell was under pressure not to underinflate the punishments. >> the nfl has been under a lot of heat for player misbehavior, team misbehavior, unrelated to this particular type of offense, but it still creates a kind of atmosphere and there's been heat on commissioner roger goodell, so in that sense the patriots and brady are victims of the atmosphere surrounding the lead and their marquee status. >> reporter: phillies fans had mixed reactions to the sanctions. >> i think they went easy on him. if they give ray rice two games for beating his girlfriend now wife but give tom brady four games, really? >> i don't know if the punishment really fits that with what they've been suspending other players for. >> th

. >> let me ask you, jim, because i've read through troy vincent's letter to the patriots and he pointsere cooperative with the investigation. this is the organization that they're part of. >> i'm not sure what "fully cooperate" means. the patriots say that they made them available four times. tom spent a day plus talking to the investigators. if you're talking about turning over your e-mail your cell phone and your texts, i mean there was no jurisdiction here there was no civil suit there was no deposition there was no criminal activity. so does that mean that any employer at any time because they're having an investigation can now demand your cell phone? i mean tom and his wife are major superstars. she's a model, the top model in the world. do you really want somebody going through your cell phone and sifting through it no matter what the circumstances are? i don't think that's the standard that any american wants for their employer to be able to do. >> i hear you. just to point out, troy vincent did say they offered extraordinary safeguards to protect unrelated personal information

nfl executive president roy vincent to impose these penalties and then in a separate letter from troy vincentm brady, vincent writes this -- reading a couple sentences for you and viewers. christine pay attention as well. with respect to your particular involvement, the report established that there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were generally aware of the actions of the patriots employees involved in the deflation of the footballs and that it was unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge. moreover the report documents your failure to cooperate fully and candidly with the investigation including by refusing tro produce electronic e-mails texts et cetera despite offered extraordinary safeguards by investigators to protect unrelated personal information by providing testimony that the report concludes was not plausible and contradicted by other evidence. those are pretty strong words, rachel, right there. they basically are saying, you're going can to be suspended without pay for four games, because you didn't cooperate with the investigation. >> report

. >> this is the key i found what troy vincent said. he said the equipment managers were not candid. okay. tom brady was not forth right. and the team did not allow to equipment managers to be interviewed another time. if this an obstruction of the investigation. if brady had said i like it underinflateded and they know that. maybe they oev corrected. i told them to come clean. maybe a game or two and that's it. >> some people are wondering if the punishment fit the crime when you see other instances in the nfl. ray rice was suspended two games. adrian peterson that whipping son he was caught doing he was suspended for the rest of the season. beth rothilous burger was six games and hardy ten games for domestic violence. you compare that some people say to inflating or deflating a football it doesn't add up. this is the integrity of the gogo game. >> those happened off the field. this is the actual game. eli manning said this. >> tom has been a friend of mine. i don't like to see anybody get suspended or in trouble. i think it is integri

roger goodell has said troy vincent is going to make this decision.i'm curious as to whether they do pull tom brady in or if they iare going we did that already and now we're going to make a judgment. so interesting to see what goes on there. he did not give the investigator everything they want and that is something the league does not look favorably on. so, when there is a punishment handed out for this and there should probably be something if the investigator found that there was probable cause, it's going to be an interesting side component to this. >> and meet a man who says a lot of people are missing the point in baltimore. the american dream is terrifying. american history is the history of the scary thing being the exact thing we have to do. cross that ocean. walk on that moon. fly. none of this makes rational sense. it only makes american sense. here, the hard things show us who we are. leaving your job to start your own thing. having a kid when you still feel like a kid. signing a 30-year mortgage on a home. scary sure but no match for our

nfl vice president troy vincent is said we can't be certain when the activity began, the evidence suss that january 18th was not the first occasion this occurred. tom brady's agent says this is no basis. out come was predetermined in my opinion and to fairness in the wells investigation whatsoever. robert kraft doesn't believe the balls were tampered with. he gives brady his unconditional senator. brady expected to appeal, melissa. he has three days to do that. melissa: i think he will, rick thank so much. from one quarterback to another, super bowl quarterback joe theismann weighing in on the brady controversy. one fan has the plan to dig the team out of the million dollar fine they owe to the nfl. chris christie wants to play taxman. the governor unveiling some very ambitious plans. and he thinks he has found a way to save people a lot of money. pyles of morn any coming up. good. very good. you see something moving off the shelves and your first thought is to investigate the company. you are type e*. shorten the distance between intuition and action. e*trade. melissa: the pentagon co

tried to hide from his responsibility in deflategate by assigning his executive vice president, troy vincent, to the case as if his direct report would somehow be independent and objective. as for deflategate, there are lots of problems for the nfl. brady's agent says he participated in a wide ranging interview with no conditions for about five and a half hours, yet some of his testimony was not included. as for not turning over his private phone records to the nfl, when did the nfl acquire search and seizure powers and when was it decided a player forfeits his rights of privacy or for that matter any of his constitutional rights? the questions just compound themselves. why did the nfl not examine all the footballs in possession of the two teams, in possession of the indianapolis colts, while they did examine those of the patriots. and why didn't the wells report note the referee's statement that the pressure readings were taken with the wrong gauge by those investigating, which understated the inflation level of the game balls. the colts raised their concerns about underinflation before the

the nfl and former eagle troy vincent are deciding on possible punishment for the employees and tom brady. the report out today concludes it was probable that a patriots' locker room attendant and equipment assistant deliberately released air out of the game balls in the afc championship game. the report also concludes it's more probable than not that four-time super bowl winner tom brady was at least generally aware of what the past employees were doing. the report has text messages between the employees intimating deflating footballs for tom. and one employee was known as the deflator. tom brady refused to turn over his phone for the investigation. we caught up with the spokesperson for wilson who makes the footballs when we were out covering the super bowl. >> a ball over time could potentially lose a little bit of air with a bad bladder. bladder giving up over time. with a ball losing a lot of air like that there's only one way it goes in and out of a football, that's with a needle. over 70 years of footballs being on the field, we're fortunate to know that none of them have ever fail

in a letter to brady, executive vice president of football operations troy vincent says brady's actionsd detrimental to the game of football. brady's agent said the discipline is ridiculous and has no basis. the nfl lacks standards or protocols with respect to the handling of footballs prior to the game. this is not the fault of tom or the patriots. we will appeal. the letter to the patriots mentioned the team's prior record and spygate. the punishment this time around is harsher. the patriots the only franchise since 1980 to be stripped of a first-round draft pick and it happened to them twice. nfl doubling the fine to the patriots this time around. tom brady with a harsher punishment. robert kraft went get the apology. he released a statement condemning the actions. the punishment far exceeded any reasonable expectation. it was circumstantial rather than hard or conclusive evidence. tom brady has our support and our belief in him has not waivered. patriots running back blunt tweeted, this is absolutely ridiculous. shaking my head. #standup. patrick peterson tweeted, well done nfl. #de

nfl vice-president troy vincent said it was unlikely that was done without tom brady's knowledge.nts quarterback eli man hemoglobin strong comments tonight himself. >> obviously if he's accused of and obviously yeah, on the football i think it is about integrity and you have to follow the rules and so if someone breaking rules, i understand, you know, you'll get punished for it. >> cheater! >>> so what games does brady miss? he's a cheater. opening is the first game of the season on the inform fl thursday night game at home against pittsburgh. inform bc can't be too happy. get over it guys you get him when he comes back. they're game at buffalo home against jacksonville and 4:00 o'clock game against dallas. phillies made a player move after tonight' game phillies sent cody asche to the minor leagues to play and learn left field. he has to be there at least 10 days and don't expect to see dom brown back any time soon. hitting point to 24 at aaa lee hay valleyly. >> tonight another loose at citizens bank park. the phillies up one to-zero. three run homer against jerome williams in t

the second part is once we had the wells report our staff led by troy vincent who handles these mattersgular basis and has all spring immediately beganparticipated in some of those, so i understood the discussion that they were having. troy made a recommendation. i authorized him to go ahead and issue that. >> did the league ask for suspension of the patriots staffers? >> did what? sg. >> did the league ask the patriots to suspend those staffers? >> no. >> when ted wells comes back with his information in his report the patriots certainly scrutinized the report and had many issues with some of his conclusions. how much did you scrutinize the report or did you accept his findings? >> of course you read the report you scrutinize it, but that's also why we have a process. so if issues are raised either in the context of an appeal or outside of that you look at that and you -- what you're trying to do is get right. and i thought his report was very clear. it was comprehensive. but we are always open if there is new information that can get us to a better place. >> roger, ted wells report re

and there's no doubt when troy vincent handed down the punishment that impeding the investigation, that a big deal in why it was four games for tom brady. >> okay. i'm listening, hearing all of this from you ravenle. and andy i'm staring at with the locator, foxboro, massachusetts. i was joking last hour saying, i'm sure free tom brady t-shirts have been made. people are tweeting, they're out there. i don't know if you've had the chance to talk to pats' fans, i don't know if the rest of the country feels how pats' fans are feeling. what are you hearing? >> reporter: you know the gift shop's behind us at the stadium. i talked to a punch of patriots fans. they went in and out of the gift shop. one patriots fan call this whole a -- [ inaudible ] >> a what? >> reporter: a farce -- trying to use my boston accent. the nfl was out to get tom brady the whole time. y he says they're doing cartwheels. they say think the error is not a big -- air in footballs is not a big deal. they think brady's legacy is still intact as far as -- >> forgive me. i want to continue this conversation. i got to go t

not about the crime, but the cover-up and that's clearly what roger goodell is sending down and troy vincent, his right handman in this case is handing down in delivering this verdict, he is saying that you didn't cooperate fully, you didn't hand over the texts, even though we went out of our way to provide you protection and that is why the nfl is coming down not because they found that tom brady did anything illegal, as a matter of fact they stipulated in their initial findings they couldn't prove that tom brady did anything illegal. it's ridiculous it's a gross overreach of their authority, and i clearly expect this to be appealed perhaps down to one or two games or maybe even a suspension appealed all together. >> it's interesting to hear tom brady's agents saying they fully cooperated. the nfl said brady did not turn over the text. >> this is a two-pronged punishment. the nfl feels they caught him cheating at least in the respect of the phrase we repeated so many times over the past few days more probable than not. it's a standard that is similar to a civil case in our courts of law, is

the players' union also says it will call the vice president troy vincent who handed down the punishmentt on camera, youtube guitarist the edge falling off the stage during a concert in vancouver. don't worry the guitarist okay. the edge even joking that he didn't see the edge of the stage. go off the record for a minute. i know as you know i can be a dog on a bone about a story never giving up. i do it out of professional responsibility and part of my viewer to you as the viewers. i also does it for the families in the stories. i meet them. you meet them. you can't walk away from the story until you are convinced that you have done everything you can to get them relief sergeant andrew tahmooressi's case or get them information for foreclosure as in the natalee holloway investigation. this may 30th is the 10th anniversary disappearance in aruba. all these years i have continued to work on that story, make calls follow leads and make trips to far away places like thailand and peru. i have not given up and i don't intend to. this weekend as we approach the 10 year anniversary see the lates
