goodell. >> i knew i was going to kill her, but i didn't know how. before i left the halfway house, i told one of my roommates, i said watch the news, bro, i'm going to be on it tomorrow, i'm going to kill this bitch. >> goodell escaped the halfway house by faking a seizure. he was taken to the hospital, but soon after snuck away. goodell called viviana and convinced her to see him. they were in her car when goodell killed her. we warn you, his account of the crime is graphic and disturbing. >> i started kissing her. i put her arms like this, and i was like, do you love me? she was like yeah, i love you. right there, that's when i grabbed her, boom. and i started choking her. she was trying to shake and move. she's going like this and looking at me. she's shaking her head, going like this. so i kept choking her and choking her. i want my eyes to be the last thing she saw. like you know what you did. at the end of the day, what she did was [ bleep ] up. so we're both a victim. she paid with her

goodell's predecessor vacated penalties goodell issued. this organization has proved itself incompetent when it comes to investigating. that to me i'm confounded by it. they have vast resources and should be able to get it right. >> is it a goodell issue, everyone he surrounds himself with? how does that change? >> i think a little -- i think it comes back to goodell if you look at his in the ray rice testimony this fall. he showed himself to be out of the loop, not in on details -- >> he's the commissioner of the league. >> he seemed to be a guy that didn't have a firm hand on the wheel. he says he's not a lawyer and relies on his council. he doesn't have the big picture strategic thinking to handle these big problems. it flows from the top. >>>i heard someone trying to get in. yes, yes go ahead wally. sorry -- >> i'm actually surprised that -- i'm actually surprised at ex players saying there's no accountability and that he's doing a good job. we as players are held to a certain standard and have to deal with ramifications of us not doin

roger goodell, the commissioner expected to take to the podium any moment now. this is something he does every year sort of state of the nfl, the commissioner going to speak again, any moment now here. we'll listen to that live when it happens. this as the nfl continues to deal with a lot of issues off the field. this has been a very -- you know, i'll say it it's been a bad year for the league. a really bad year by some accounts. i want to bring in dave ziron, edge of sports.com, spent some time talking about what the nfl has had to deal with this year. always good to see you, my friend. how would you characterize this year for the national football league? >> well, how would you characterize the titanic after it hit the iceberg? the only thing that the nfl has going for it is its bottom line. the league has never been more profit ablg. if that's how they want to be judged then roger goodell has every right to go to the podium and say, guess what the league has been a big success in 2014. by his own metric he said this time and again, he wants the nfl to be more

goodell's biggest champions. he makes 44 million$44 million per year. >> roger goodell does. >> robert craft is on the committee that decides that. he also decides the deal with the networks. roger goodell's inner circle is a select group of owners the number one owner is robert craft. >> how do you think the two of them are reacting to this entire -- >> i would love to be a fly on the equal. for the first time anyone can remember, they're on the opposite sides of an issue. craft does not want discipline in deflate gate scandal. goodell has to come out and do something to show he has control over his league. so he's at odds with his biggest ally. >> here is craft firing a warning shot toward roger goodell, about this statement. >> 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 have had to

roger goodell isn't giving one. we'll go live to glendale arizona, where the soup bowl is in just three days. all of that is ahead on "now." i think she tried to kill us. i can barely move a muscle. i don't have any muscles left. you should really clean your ceiling fan. are you kidding me? you're just gonna throw away the last hour? no, it's only 15 calories. with reddi wip fruit never sounded more delicious. at least i can die happy. and hard work won't have to go to waste. with 15 calories per serving and real cream the sound of reddi wip is the sound of joy.

it ends with the hashtag #goodell must go. football player tackling a woman woman. are you surprised cbs will air it and will it do anything as to whether goodell will stay commissioner. >> i'm surprised that cbs will air it. and it's one of those things that ads will be pulled at the last second. i play not believe it until i don't see it on my screen. but sometimes they're more viral than otherwise when they air. it might make sense for them to air it from that perspective. this is what we learned above all else. 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 ti

and robert kraft. >> so back up roger goodell became commissioner in 2006. robertkra kraft was 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. sec

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.

goodell will be under pressure on those issues. and there are going to be questions about deflategate, the investigation into the new england patriots because there's been criticism on all sides, even from the players here. seattle seahawks corner richard sherman brought up that there's a huge conflict of interest. robert craft, the owner of the new england patriots not only technically employs goodell but they're very close friends. so there will be questions to see just how stringently the nfl is looking into this. on the other hand the patriots think they're looking into it from too much. >> rachel i know you'll be in that news conference. we'll carry the commissioner's news conference in about 20 minutes or so. it's scheduled to begin from phoenix at the super bowl. and tomorrow 4:30 p.m. eastern, for our north american viewers, be sure to watch rachel and the hall of fame quarterback dan marino, 4:30 p.m. eastern tomorrow saturday. >>> up next fierce fighting between isis militants and kurdish peshmerga forces over the oil-ric

aide, roger goodell, took over. goodell had grown up in washington, the son of a united states senator from new york. early in his career, he worked as former commissioner pete rozelle's driver. >> he basically got his job by writing to the commissioner and saying, "please, i'd like to work in the nfl." >> narrator: it took goodell 24 years to work his way to the top. he was chief operating officer when the league's scientific committee sent those controversial papers to the journal neurosurgery. >> here's a guy who spent more than half of his life in the nfl and more than anyone should be acutely aware of sort of the dangers that are lurking in this problem. >> narrator: now goodell was fully in charge of the league's handling of the concussion crisis. he soon replaced the rheumatologist dr. elliot pellman and promoted the neurologist dr. ira casson. >> dr. ira casson, who is an expert, but an abrasive person who is contemptuous of the arguments that concussion can cause damage. >> narrator: casson had once joined

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. stood 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 s

are you worried that goodell can continue on? >> well yes, i am because we have had concussions, and domestic abuse, and questionable calls in key situations and now we have cheating and somebody cheated, and it is not the first time. i'm a big football fan. >> and i know, you are a writer, and can he say anything tomorrow to reassure you. >> well, he said something before the game and now we have to go into the biggest game with a cloud over it, and questions, and as a fan, i deserve more than that, and otherwise, don't talk to me about the sanctity of the game. >> and what do you want to hear from roger goodell? >> well, two years ago he addressed everybody, and he came out, and roger good del said that the biggest risk to the league is complacency, and now, two years later, how about the complacency about the decisions that they never made a decision on. and because of that, i want to know how the progress is going so far in this whole awareness of the domestic violence and how do they move forward from here, and what are the

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

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

roger goodell gave his version of the state of the union. there 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 audi

we haven't heard from goodell on deflategate. we'll hear from the controversy controversial topics and where the league goes from here. the league prepares for its biggest game of the year. in terms of the super bowl this matchup on paper really couldn't be any better. we've got two of the best teams in the nfl. seahawks looking to win back-to-back super bowls. no team has done that in a decade. last time to do it was the new england patriots. tom brady raised three lombardi trophies in his career already. a win on sunday would put him in exclusive company joining terry bradshaw and joe montana as the only quarterbacks to ever win four super bowls. >> i'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish. i hope the best is yet to come. we have to earn it. i think that's a great thing about football is no one gives you anything. you have to go out there especially against a team like this. >> reporter: the super bowl is the most bet sporting event of the year. an estimated $10 billion will be wagered on the game worldwide and you can b

bob craft stands at the top of the roger goodell loy alycealist list. he 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 ri

roger goodell will be asked about that. of course he'll also be asked about another wide range of 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 sni

when goodell comes to the press conferences, he is usually pretty confident. usually he's the one dictating. he seemed a little bit nervous yesterday. i will have to say. he made an option statement. he acknowledged many things. he did say they made a lot of progress and he's excited about the future of the nfl. once that opening statement ended and the questions started flowing, well then goodell had to play defense. >> it has been a tough year. it's been a tough year on me personally. >> saying nfl commissioner roger goodell's job this season has been tumultuous is an understatement. from the ray rice domestic abuse issue to other issues, he's been under fire for months, some even calling for his resignation. latest issue facing the league is deflategate which goodell addressed on friday. >> this is my job. i represent 32 teams. all of us want to make sure that rules are being followed. if we have information that potential of the rules are violated, i have to pursue that. i have to pursue that aggressively. >> all the off the field issues this season cast a

will, what did roger goodell say to the media yesterday? >> hi, kelly. it's certainly 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 sec

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

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, the n.f.l. is paying for an ad during sunday's game. it portrays an abuse victim who disguises her call for help because her attacker is still in the house. >> large with half pepperoni, half mushroom. >> um, you know you called 911. this is an emergency line. >> do you know how long it'll be? >> ok, ma'am, is everything okay over there? do you have an emergency or not? >> yes. >> sreenivasan: the league also continues to wrestle with head injuries, but it says concussions were down 25% this season. still, there are no signs that all of this is affecting the bottom line. a 30-second super bowl commercial will command $4.5 million. and the game could exceed last year's record t.v. audience of 112 million viewers. >> sreenivasan: let's take our own stock now of the n

i think goodell really got caught in the middle of it. okay, he handled it badly most people who look at this say he did not do a good job but on the other hand he was really beaten up for his handling of it. i think perhaps because the press was a little guilty about not having paid sufficient attention to underlying charges. jon: according to the former head of the nbi, he never received or saw the elevator tape at that appalled everybody. >> exactly. >> also didn't ask for it. >> yes. but he didn't see it but the assertion was he had seen it and ignored it. apparently that is not true. jon: judy, ellen, thank you both. >> thank you. jenna: politics now. the number of republicans considering a presidential run seems to keep growing bit day but a much different story on potential democrats. hillary clinton's bid make it appear more likely she will end up running virtually unopposed. john roberts live in atlanta with more. >> reporter: things could change jenna but at the moment this is the landscape for 2016. the picture on monitor tells

with deflategate still looming over the super bowl, nfl commissioner roger goodell's state of the league address today was as much about the state of his leadership as the sport itself. >> 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. 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. >> reporter: goodell has faced withering criticism over his handling of concussions and domestic violence cases involving players and now awaits the league's investigation into underinflated footballs used by star quarterback tom brady. >> we don't know enough in this investigation to know who is responsible or whether there is even an infraction. >> reporter: for the super bowl game balls are handled under a stricter set of rules. a league official said 108 footballs will be inspected and approved for the game. both teams today providing 54 balls for safekeeping this weekend. meantime, supersize security is now in motion with thousands of officer

not as long as roger goodell and robert kraft are still taking pictures at their respective homes. >> we have a game set and we are making sure everything is the way we want it to be. >> i've done talked. all of my requirements are fulfilled so now for the next three minutes, i'll just be looking at y'all, the way y'all are looking at me. thank you. >> wow, what a week! the super bowl is now just two days away. but the drama is already in full swing. patriots' tom brady is battling a cold and sherman could miss the super bowl for the birth of his child and the biggest person could be who inflates the balls and that is something roger goodell spoke about for the first time this afternoon. >> we are focusing principally on two questions. why were some footballs used in the game that were not in compliance with the rules, and was this the result of deliberate action? i want to emphasize, we have made no judgments on those points. and we will not compromise the investigation by engaging in speculation. >> joining us now from glendale arizona, the site of the super bowl is nbc's craig melv

here's my question before we get to goodell. is there any chance they're going to win despite the fact about deflategate and their hotel having fire alarms going off this week. >> yes. i would say new england is a one-point favorite. i personally can't see a scenario where seattle doesn't. the reason why tickets are going so high and everyone's so excited -- >> ten thousand bucks. >> i think up to $10,000 if you're scalping because i think this is one of the best matchups in years i can truly remember. you have the truly most talented teams. >> the balls have their own security. the footballs have their own security guard. that's what it's come to. that's why you're there. here's my next question. roger goodell, they believe everything that happens in the nfl they blame everything on him. a lot of ire toward him. >> you know, megyn, i've covered 17 super bowls. and i've covered eight state of the league addresses from the commission commissioner from tagliabue to goodell, i've never seen anything like it. they're losing a lot of

goodell delivered his annual state of the league speech in phoenix today. he touched on a number of topic bus couldn't avoid deflategate. >> we are focused principally on two questions. why were some footballs used in the game that were not in compliance with the rules and was this the result of deliberate action? >> as far as the team moving to los angeles roger goodell says the nfl has not zeroed in on a specific club. the rams chargers and raiders are possible candidates. >>> to another sport tiger woods has played more than 1,000 rounds of golf as a professional, but he's never played as badly as he did today. woods shot an 11 over par 82 during the second round of the phoenix open. it's the worst score of his career. the former stanford star's previous worst score was an 81 at the 2002 british open in 40 much miles per hour winds and rain. he said the knee and back injuries that plagued him last year are not the reason for his bad play. >>> we are waiting for our weather to change. >> we may have to wait a while longer. >> we will switch it up from spr

. >> reporter: after a season of controversy and negative headlines, commissioner goodell pointed the finger at himself. >> 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 obviously as an organization have gone through adversity, but more importantly it's been adversity for me. >> reporter: goodell said he and the league have done a lot of soul-searching after mistakes in the handling of the domestic violence case against ray rice. one change, a new personal conduct policy. arizona cardinal's president will chair the nfl committee oversee it. >> he's done the right thing here obviously acknowledged the way the ray rice matter was handled was not the right way. >> reporter: in this season of distractions, super bowl week is proving no different. it's been dominated by questions about whether the patriots broke nfl rules by intentionally deflating footballs in the a.f.c. championship game. on tuesday, owner robert kraft said if the nfl doesn't find any wrongdoing-- >> i would expect and hope that the leagu

goodell was criticized for suspending rice for only two games, but goodell explained that he hadn't seen the video. well, today the report by former f.b.i. director robert mueller said there is no evidence that anyone at nfl headquarters had seen the video before the suspension. after the video went public, rice was suspended indefinitely, but now a judge has lifted that suspension. it is another dangerously coal night in much of america. temperatures are in the single digits and teens across the midwest and northeast. and in the southeast it is at least 20 degrees colder than normal. some places are under blizzard warnings. vinita nair now on where the snow and the mercury are falling. >> reporter: a winter storm warning left visibility in muskegon michigan down to just a few car lengths. to the west in grand forks north dakota, it was a similar white-knuckle drive. the cold front led to a series of record lows from montpelier, vermont, at 20 degrees below zero, to mobile, alabama, at 17 degrees, breaking a record set more than a century ago. more than 170 million americans are braving
