    On Wednesday night in Philadelphia, AP Reporter Rob Maaddi gave his account of the NFL's possession of the video which shows Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee at an Atlantic City casino in February.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Rob Maaddi, AP Reporter

    "Today, we reported that a law enforcement official sent a copy of the video from the elevator showing Ray Rice punching his fiancee at the time, now his wife. And he sent that to an NFL league executive. We have also learned that there is confirmation from an unidentified woman at the league office calling my source and leaving a voicemail which I heard, a 12-second voicemail, saying that she received it, and agreeing that it's terrible."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Rob Maaddi, AP Reporter

    "At this point, the NFL is adamant that no one in their league office, to Roger Goodell's knowledge, saw that video. We know that one person at the very least had access to and saw that video. What happens next is going to be an investigation internally by the NFL, and it'll be up to them to determine their course of action."

    "We're hearing a lot of people out there calling for Roger Goodell to step down. But again, at this point, all we know is that someone at the league office had access to and saw that video. We do not know that Roger Goodell eyeballed that video himself."
