u.s. women s worse since the 4-nil loss in the 2007 world cup. they have to get it together. and back to the nba court where there was a wild moment while the suns hosted the wizards last night as the gorilla mascot came diving onto the court while the game was going on. before we chalk this up to some monkeying around, let s take a closer look. it appears the mascot was sprawling out to retrieve an object that had slid onto the floor. i guess we ll give him a break after that. i mean good for the gorilla. quick reflexes. i couldn t tell what that was. it could have saved a player from slipping and injuring themselves. so, you know, kudos to him. very true. still ahead, it was a shouting match during a senate confirmation hearing. senator chuck grassley acruised senator al franken after asking a gotcha question. and we continue to follow the latest on the freight train
