overshadowed a few months ago on this, when you look back on this era, there are going to be a lot of people. i'm a new england patriot fan. it crushes me to say this. most sports fans, most sports historians who look back at it will say about the new england patriots, wow, amazing achievement, how did that put that together? that was fantastic, but there was this cloud, too. you can certainly make the case that when it comes to taking a little air out of the footballs, as i said the analogy that's been made to me, resonates with me, think about a stick in hockey. there's rules about how much they can bend the stick. they do it a little more, they get thrown in the box for two minutes. it's a minor penalty. in my heart i think that's what this is. this is an organization, not the first time they've been down this road and will pay a price in terms of their legacy for it. >> steve kornacki, thanks so much. other news today, there was other news today, the court came in, second highest court in the land and said edward snowden was right. we'll talk about that, ahead.
