It happened around 1 30 yesterday afternoon. Witness telling us that the driver ditched the car a few blocks from the scene, and police are hoping to identify the suspect. They have not yet released the name of that victim. Lets talk eagles. Yeah. Three times, it is a charm. When you say third time is a charm we loved the first two. We did but first two were like okay, carson wentz looked good professionally, first two games but this next game with the steelers was going to be a huge match up. This is first real test because of the offense that the steelers brought the in the link with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and crew. The steelers were expect to go to the super knoll year. Now the eagles might be expect to dot same thing, lauren dawn johnson. That is what some people are saying after the blow out, dave kinchen you are in place where fans have have high hopes for this team, is that right. Reporter and in a word, wow. Sorry. Im excited. People are excited, across the area, i think person doing audio just freaked out because level just spiked, sorry about that. Lets go to the highlights. We have a lot of highlights. We have carson wentz scrambling and, of course, he hit Darren Sproles for a 73yard touchdown there. It was like magic. You also had two rushing touchdowns, eagles fans, you know, they are loving this new team. I think eagles are kicking butt. I think we have a good pick as a quarterback and i think we have a great season ahead of us, it is about time. The play calling, defense, the whole game, how can you not be excited about this. But i say it is a great day. They improved themselves as contender, player and this is year of the coach. The year of the defense, also, how about this defense, all over Ben Roethlisberger stripping the ball from him and sacking him four times. In the end, the eagles steam rolled, steam rolled the steelers, 34three. It was magical. Back to you guys. You talk about the defense, the steelers had about 200 fewer yard yesterday then they had in the first two games when they were two and zero coming in the linc. Pressure that fletcher cox and that team put on roethlisberger all game was difference in the game. Championship worthy defense would i say. See that guy in the yellow shirt going behind you, when he comes out try to get his reaction. Yes, we will, as soon as he gets his calfe. Do they get free coffee. Bob will talk about our sponsor Dunkin Donuts and what they are doing with this win. He is inside scoop. We have some a sad sporting news, two stories in, fact. We will begin with golfing legend Arnold Palmer. He died yesterday in his native pennsylvania at the age of 87. Many called him the king. Others just around i. Either way he was one of the greatest players of all time. Palmer won seven major championships including four masters. He was well men for philanthropy, political ties and Sports Marketing pioneer, palmer helped show america golf was a sport worth watching. He came out to the first t it was like a prize fighter entering the ring, and then he would stand there and he would look in the gallery and catch your eye and made you feel like you were the most important person in the world. Golf course is, clothing lines, tournaments all carry his name, to this day half lemonade, half iced tea drink he preferred is call the Arnold Palmer. Also more sad supporting news. Tribute on the scoreboard at marlins park in miami and number 16 painted on the Pitchers Mound as fans expressed their condolences by leaving flowers and card in front of the stadium. Major League Baseball has lost one of the rising stars, in miami, marlins pitcher Jose Fernandes killed during a boating accident. Baseball players boat hit roxanne capsized at entrance to miami harbor. Two other people died. None of them were wearing a life vest. The Authorities Say they are in the early stage of their investigation but they do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved. The 24 yearold pitcher left cuba and became a fan favorite in the major leagues. Yesterday the marlins game against the Atlanta Braves was cancelled. Fernandes was about to become a father, to a baby girl. Just 24 years old and so much promise and about to be a dad for the first time. What a loss. So sad. Police in washington are looking in the background of the man accused of killing five people in a macys store on friday, court record show that 20 yearold arcan cetin, had more than half a dozen criminal cases on his record, in the island count a loan since 2013. Cetin was captured nearly 24 hours after friday nights shooting, and investigators still do not the know why he did it. Lets take a look the at this, video release by police in charlotte over the weekend showing shooting death of the four threeyear old keith lemont the scott. Police had said scott had a gun and pointed it at officers but you cannot see that, in the videos. Scotts family maintains he did not have a weapon and they say that the new videos do not the support the officers claim. Last night charlottes mayor lifted a midnight curfew that had been in place since last week. We are bracing for what could be one of the most watched political spectacles in u. S. History, tonight the first president ial debate, between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. First of three where nominees will square off, it all takes place at Hofstra University in new york where doug luzader is preparing this morning. What is the atmosphere like right now. Aim guessing all kind of media set up. We understand about a hundred million americans will watch this debate. Reporter yes, it is certainly possible. If that is the case it will break every record that we have seen for president ial debates. But this is a venue behind me, and, and, audience, and, it is what really counts. One stage, two podiums, 90 minutes on the clock that is what donald trump and Hillary Clinton will be contending with in their first debate. Both have been preparing with clinton taking several days off the trail her Campaign Manager confident that her experience and preparations will show through. We will have a lot of people really tuning into this election for the first time. They will see these two candidates on the stage. They will see donald trump is unfit, unprepared and over his head. I doubt he will have a command of the issues. There has been Hillary Clinton provoking donald trump on this stage tonight and get an over reaction. That strategy may even involved the audience with the clinton campaigning inviting trump critic and billion air mark cuban to sit right here. Trump fired back and jennifer flowers, who has been link to former president bill clinton should be here too, something that the cam paper said wont happen. And for trump it may be. And. And in america, that he is ready to be president and command inner chief. And part of that is about looking president ial, with the Trump Campaign releasing a photo of the meeting yesterday with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Clinton met with him too, both keenly aware of how much is at stake tonight. To 100 Million People, 8 percent are undecided you could move four or five or 6 million debate and that is enough to win this thing. Viewer ship of 100 million would be staggering, but it is certainly possible. Previous record by the way for a president ial debate 80 mill viewers tune in 1980 for Carter Reagan debate. Country was smaller then but we may see that record shattered tonight. Back to you guys. I remember when it was Reagan Mondale four years ago that and big turning point about age where reagan had a great little quip there we will go back to what 1960, first televised debate between nixon and jfk. They said jfk may have won that raiser edge margin because of that debate. We will see. Reporter that brought debates in the main stream in the Television Age and that speculation that nixon won that debate if he you listened to it on radio but watching it on tv fk was clear winner. Interesting. You are fantastic on tv. I dont know burr radio work tv you are a winner. Thanks for radio. Stop it. Very handsome, talented, intelligent doug luzader live from Hofstra University in new york report rorrer thanks, guys. It just goes to show body language, reactions or your facial expressions all play into this. Convention is like a commercial but the debates are the real show. Yes. That is when you see it all. Would i never want to debate you. You should hear her in the news room sitting next to me. Sue, good morning. I am witness to that every day and i cant disagree with you, chris. Weve got a need for some rain. We have not had much this month. Thinks last couple of days of september, believe it or not, coming up, so we need about an inch and a third of rain to get the where we should be and i think we will get it with you have to look up here in cleveland to see where rain is now. It is not expect to arrive here until later on. We will show you what will happen. We will see clouds after lunchtime kind of building in, maybe a sprinkle or two in lancaster but the real rain doesnt come in until well after sunset, maybe nine or ten or 11 00 oclock. It rains on and off in the overnight hours and front stalls down to the the south. We will see rain continuing through the day, and, down in southern delaware, in southern new jersey, and stay tuned, as that front doesnt stall that far down south we could get more rain around here but it looks like a pretty sharp line there between sunshine and the rain tomorrow, and even into perhaps early wednesday morning. That is the deal. It is 54 degrees in philadelphia 75 is our high to daze. Seventyfour tomorrow and some clouds lingering on wednesday. We have to see what that front decides to do to let you know what kind of day we will have on wednesday but be prepared for rain, really almost every day this weekend into Early Saturday Morning potentially but keep in mind bob kelly, we need it. We do, sue, 7 16. You you will need a jumbo coffee for that delay coming in from new jersey. Dunkin donuts our sponsor. They have a free coffee, you have to sign up for that dunkin app, in order to get the freeze coffee but look at the freeway here we are bum ber to bumper into the ramps for 295. We have an overturn tractor trailer on the ramp from 42 to go north on 295. If you use this stretch you know these ramps are all combined together here and it is causing havoc at that interchange. Northbound 42 we are bumper to bumper all the way in toward philadelphia. Even if you dont use the ramp you are backup. Best bet black horse pike route 168 is your best way to get around it, coming north from say swede bureau, paulsboro, avoid 295 and just use the new jersey turnpike this morning. Another accident, kelly drive at mid veil, right at the falls bridge there that is causing delays and then north on 476, it is something that popped up to day and it sound god. Guess what today is . It is National Pancake day. Wait a minute now you. Look at that big stack. Look at the butter. I put up on my facebook is what your favorite topping for tall stack. Honey. I never had honey before. It is so good. Lets do some hone lets do it. Chris and honey, back over to you. Have you ever had that. Honey. So good. You need syrup. Too sticky, too sweet. You are so picky with food, there is no beef on your teeth, no pork on your fork and if something is too sweet for you. I dont need a dessert for breakfast. You are only person who doesnt eat chocolate. I know, that is how i was made, okay. We love you for who you are. I love to. Do you love eagles. I do. But they probably are fans today. Probably love seeing rivals lose, rather than seeing us win. What do you like more. Well, no we have to have eagles win first, and it is fun to watch. You are losing like last year then you are miserable. Remember everybody gets hurt and they all lose. This is what happened yesterday. He went off. She was pretty upset when giants played yesterday, after a week of trash talking, josh norman went into etan trum on the side line. It happened after that play. Eli manning throws a interception late in the game. Well, beckham was not the intended receiver but he wasnt happy though. Watch what happened. He chats. I was open man, hit me. He went nuts. Kicking, screaming has an adult temper tantrum. He hit the net with the helmet and it hits him back in the head. He get in to it. Giants lose that one,. Good. I hope giants lose every game the rest of the year. Hits him back in the face. That is bad karma, right. Yes. Try to be all tough and then it hits him in the head, right. This is potential bad news for those taking a flight this fall, why you could see extra long lines, at the airport, congress doesnt act, fast. And snap chat from your p
