how cool is that? >> what do you want to tell curry and the warriors tonight? >> well, you know, right now actually i'll tell them one thing. i just took a shower back there, which is probably more information than you need. but the hot water wasn't really working yet. >> reporter: he also dished on some exclusive news, their film is coming out soon along with -- >> we're recording it. it will end up in movie theaters on october 9th, and there will most likely be an album. don't tell. >> what are we going to name this album? >> we haven't got that far yet. you'll be the first to know. >> reporter: outside the arena, we met some fans who got through some traffic to get here. >> there was plenty of traffic. >> adjacent to the center is the designated for drop-offs and pickups. >> reporter: among the crowd, we met jason with his dad. tonight they celebrate life. >> i actually never thought i was going to be able to take my dad to a metallica concert.

then brown apologized. he's expected to play monday night but hours ago he posted a video on his youtube page. it appears as though he secretly recorded a phone call with his coach, jon gruden. >> let me ask you this, do you want to be a raider or not? >> man, i've been trying to be a raider since day one. >> you're a great football player. just play football. >> a.b. did some secret reportings with the steelers that they weren't f, but we're just 2 1/2 days from the raiders/broncos season opener on monday night here on abc7. at our present rate, that means we will have roughly 18 more crazy things that come up with antonio brown before kickoff. more a.b. news in sports. >> larry, sounds good. well, new details tonight on the chaotic month ahead for sfo.

one runway, meaning you better be ready for delays. >> people will say this is such an inconvenience, but why is it important? >> i would think of it like this. like roadways have maintenance, like a regular road. so a runway is similar to that. >> reporter: to help ease the traffic, sfo has worked with airlines to reduce the number of flights during this period by 13%. many airlines including united are sending passengers emails like this, warning people about the expected delays and offering to change flights for free. we talked to a guy at sfo leaving friday night for palm springs. you think it's good they're doing this maintenance? >> it's better than having plane crashes. we don't need potholes on our tarmac. >> reporter: a worthy inconvenience, but, hey, he doesn't have to deal with it. you missed it by one day. how are you feeling about it? >> delays, you should try tow book early flights before 9:00 a.m. try to avoid wednesdays to fridays. like we said, talk to your

airline. many are willing to change your flight for free. reporting here at sfo, liz kreutz, abc7 news. >> it's going to be a bit of a hassle. thanks very much, liz. a ghost ship trial juror spoke with abc7 news tonight sharing his story with what he calls one of the most fascinating and frustrating experiences of his life. millard billings was one of the alternate jurors. he never expected to deliberate. but when the judge threw out three jurors, he was called back to court. >> the case was very, very complex. i was very frustrated because i felt there were a couple of people on the jury that immediately had already made up their mind. >> billings says after hours of deliberation, it seemed likely the jury could be hung for both derick almena's conviction, and max harris' acquittal. >> two days before the end, when the woman was sort of saying that she wasn't going to allow us to let him go, we talked to her. she was very nice. she was very reasonable, and finally at the last minute, she

said, okay. i will join the other 11, and so max harris got off. >> as for almena, the jurors had two arguments, one legal and one moral, implicating the warehouse's landlord. >> ten of us felt that he was guilty based basically on the fact that he violated the lease. they argued that because the engs en engs is collected and the rent and the utility bills and they knew it was all illegal, but by going along with it, these people felt that gave almena tacit agreement that what he was doing was okay. >> billings says after the verdict was announced, prosecutors asked the jurors about the strength of their case. he said because almena faced a 10-2 guilty vote,trial. now to developing news. a lightning-sparked fire kbubur

an italian police officer died from 11 stab wounds in 32 seconds. that is the stunning finding from an investigative report involving two bay area teens being held in a rome prison. >> abc7 news i-team reporter dan noyes has the latest developments in this case. >> reporter: family members visited both teens at the prison in rome today. leah elder traveled under the radar to see 19-year-old finn elder for the first time since he was arrested and accused of stabbing to death italian police officer, and gabe natale's uncle and grandparents visited him. italian prosecutors say the teens were looking to buy cocaine in the early morning of july 26th, and when undercover officers intervened, they took what police call a pusher's backpack to the meridian hotel where they were staying. when that so-called pusher called his phone still in the backpack, the boys answered and

demanded 100 euro and a gram of cocaine for its return. you can hear the backpack owner calling police for help retrieving his property. undercover officers responded and confronted the teens who said after they didn't know the men were police officers. prosecutors say finn elder admitted stabbing rega with this marine-style knife and gabe natale fought off and ran away. at this news conference, he said he couldn't fire his weapon at the suspects running away because it would violate policy and he was busy helping his mortally wounded colleague. but now italian media has reported varriale has changed his account, admitting they did not have their service weapons, their handcuffs or police identification and that they were wearing shorts and t-shirts at the time. finn elder's attorney in rome tells abc news those admissions

bolster both teens' statements they didn't know the officers were in fact police and they call into question the credibility of the case's main witness. >> the public has an incomplete account of the true version of the events. it is said, however, the truth will set you free. >> reporter: late today, new images from surveillance video published by the italian newspaper show elder and natale the hour before meeting the officers, looking down the street, and crouching behind a car near their hotel. those pictures are part of the investigative report handed over to the defense teams this week. leah elder sent me a statement by text late today saying that after seeing her son, finn is painfully depressed and that it has been difficult to hear the facts so unfairly misrepresented. for the i-team, dan noyes, abc7 news. let's move on to the weekend forecast. looking pretty good. >> yeah, hoping for some good news. sandhya patel standing by with more on that. >> absolutely. we're going to have some great-looking weather here locally. i do have good news from the perspective of the hurricane
