league. this is ridiculous. oh my gosh. let's talk more about this. joining me now rachel nichols, cnn anchor and lifelong patriots fan, john berman. and former nfl linebacker coy wire. good morning to all of you. okay. so rachel i'd like to start with you. do you think bill belichick will really say much about this scandal? >> well he might say no kmercht comment. he might say we have to let the nfl investigate. he might say we're moving on to seattle. that's three different things. you're not going to get a lot from bill belichick this morning, just like you never get a lot from bill belichick. he is not going to want to talk about this. we didn't hear much about spy gate. after the patriots were penalized part of the deal with that penalty is that bill belichick was supposed to give a news conference explaining himself and he never did it. roger goodell, the commissioner was not happy about that. that was a direct order. i don't expect him to speak a lot this morning. >> i know. even when he speaks john berman it's difficult to understand where he's coming from because he doesn't re

the last 40 years coaching this league. >> cnn sports anchor rachel nichols joins me from shaurg. during that nine-minute press conference he mentioned tom brady and he said tom brady will explain how hard he likes his footballs. the reason he said that tom brady is holding a press conference of his own later this afternoon. >> reporter: yes. by the way this is coordinated. it's not as if they haven't spoke men the past three days. i think he knows what tom is going to say. we of course don't know what tom is going to say. tom brady is on record in the past a few years ago just joking around talking about footballs and deflation. he said hey, i like a deflated football. the joke was that gronkowski spikes the ball so hard that he deflates the football. take a listen to what belichick said talking about his quarterback in this whole situation. we might not have that sound. i don't know. >> sorry about that. >> he basically said -- that's okay. he basically said tom will talk later about his preferences, being clear again this is not something that he is aware of he said because he

deflategate 2 but super bowl xlix. rachel nichols live in glendale, arizona. >> reporter: plenty going on here in phoenix including tom brady getting asked questions at a press conference by a puppet. we'll have that and deflategate too coming up. at northrop grumman, we know in the cyber world, threats are always evolving. at first we were protecting networks. then, we were protecting the transfer of data. and today it's evolved to infrastructure... ♪ ♪ ...finance... and military missions. we're constantly innovating to advance the front line in the cyber battle, wherever it takes us. that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. so,as my personal financial psychic, i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td a

talk more about all this former nba linebacker coy wire and cnn sports anchor rachel nichols. welcome to both of you. rachel that psa, it is it's powerful. when will it air in the super bowl? >> it's really well done. it's done by an organization called no more. it's going to air during the game. the 60-second version is what's been put out there and what's online a 30-second version is what will run on sunday. still, it's going to affect a lot of people. the nfl is actually donating that time. super bowl ads, a 30-second ad is currently going for $4.5 million. i think the nfl probably will get a discount from nbc. still, a sizable dough! for them to make this kind of statement and says a lot about their commitment here. they have definitely made strides, carol. there is no doubt about that. you can't look at where they were a year ago to where they are now and not think there has been progress. there is of course always more progress to go. we expect to hear more about that from roger goodell when he gives hiss "state of the union" address. >> coy, that psa affected me. will it affec
