solutions. this is abc7 news and you can see tonight's top story in the sky that hazy smoky sky. >> it could be hazardous to our health. good evening. i'm ahmed daetz. >> and i'm julian glover. conditions have been shifting throughout the day, but they're bad enough to trigger an air quality advisory that could be with us for a while. we've spotted the haze all across the bay area. >> sky seven was over the peninsula just a couple of hours ago. check out how bad the visibility was above south san francisco. this is along 101 near not far from the airport. the hills and houses disappear into the haze and conditions are not much better in the east bay from the port of oakland. >> we'll show you that in just a moment. you can barely see the bay bridge or the san francisco skyline. take our word for it. we are definitely seeing smoke impacts from the fires from northern california and oregon. >> if people smell smoke or anything like that, they should take the usual precautions, stay inside windows and doors closed if heat allows. and not a good

day to go out and get a lot of exercise. >> and in the north bay, sonoma county issued a health advisory because of the poor air quality. check out the view of the golden gate bridge in this live picture. the bridge pretty much disappearing into the haze there. >> and a similar story in the south bay this is the live view from our camera located at 87. you can see the sun is trying to come through there. abc seven news meteorologist andy patel is here to explain what's going on. sandhya. yeah, we have wildfire smoke that's coming at us from the north and julian, as we take a look at the air quality, it just got worse in the last hour. you will notice it is red for san francisco, oakland and san rafael. that is unhealthy. so you want to close your doors and windows if you do have ac, put it on recirculate. and don't forget about your pets. i do want to show you the smoke forecast as we are going to continue to see smoke impacting us going into tomorrow morning. it will get worse, as you will notice, at 7 a.m. and then the winds pick up. and as those

winds pick up, that will mix out the atmosphere a little bit. so late tomorrow night, we do expect an improvement in the air quality. but until then, here's what we're dealing with from our east bay hills camera. it's a very smoky, hazy sky. air quality advisory through tomorrow, and that is due to the smoke from the oregon fire and also northern california fires. so let's take a look at the visible satellite picture. it is very obvious to spot where that fire is in oregon and that smoke is just coming down the coast here. we also have another fire here in northern california. and that smoke is coming in our direction. so if you are getting that scratchy throat burning eyes, you're not imagining things. and the visibility is poor because of the smoke. sfo reporting visibility just over two miles, three miles in oakland here are our tower camera views and you can see just how bad it is right now. we're going to look ahead to fire danger. i'll be back with a fire weather watch and how long that's going to be in effect in just a minute. julian okay.

>> thank you so much, sandhya. and of course, you can check out the air quality anytime by using our online interactive tracker. you can find it along with our full weather forecast right now on abc7 news.com. well, p-g-and-e's may need to shut off the power this week to reduce the risk of wildfires. as sandhya was just mentioning, a public safety power shut off is possible over the next two days. only one bay area county could be affected. that's napa, but only seven customers there. we should point out. we'll keep an eye on the conditions. ian's over the next few days to see what changes, if anything. >> activists are calling on the national naacp to take a hard look at the local oakland branch. >> they claim the oakland chapter is not aligned with the city's values. abc7 news reporter sara hassan has details . >> former and current members of the oakland chapter of the naacp say it's time to break the silence. >> the oakland branch is currently using its position to hijack the legacy of the historic organization and using it as a weapon, a weapon against

their opposition. doug blackshear is one of the signatories of a letter sent to the national naacp. president about the oakland branch. the letter states our leadership is reverting to lies, fear mongering and tough on crime rhetoric that is targeted african-americans throughout our history in this country. evoking stereotypical narratives of black criminality 400 years now we have our own people part of that. the group claims the oakland chapter is not representative of oakland's values or diversity, aligning itself instead with right wing interests over progressive causes. they point to the recall effort of alameda county district attorney pamela price and supporting tax breaks that defund education in favor of tax breaks for big businesses. >> the naacp is a class organization, and that's really the problem. so we have come here today to demand that they make a reverse on all of their positions except for the

bringing back of chief armstrong. >> the group singled out two men, former alameda county assistant da terry wiley, who lost to da price and former oakland city council member lauren taylor, who lost to mayor shengtao. these people are the losers. >> they lost the elections and now they are running the local chapter. >> in a statement to abc seven news, terry wiley, who is a member of the oakland chapter of the naacp, writes, i have no comment to accusations that are intended to distract everyone's attention from the rising number of retail thefts, robberies, carjackings, murderers, business closures and overall lawlessness that has everyone feeling unsafe in the city of oakland. the group is asking to work with the national naacp to make sure the oakland chapter is aligned with the national charter. the oakland chapter did not return requests for comment. in oakland on hassan, abc seven news. >> from the i-team tonight, a one on one interview with former police chief laurent armstrong. >> this conversation comes just one day after a report revealed he was falsely accused of misconduct. >> abc7 news i-team reporter

stephanie sierra joins us now with what he had to say. >> steph. yeah, it was interesting and revealing and i have to say the former chief was very candid with his reaction to all of this. >> he certainly is disappointed it took this long for the truth to come out. but he's looking to the future. and regardless of what happens, he made it clear oakland needs real leadership now more than ever. how are you feeling about everything? >> i feel good. i feel vindicated. >> and after everything that's happened, do you want to go back to opd? >> well, i love the city of oakland and i love the oakland police department and the men and women that work at the oakland police department. and so i think everything is on the table. >> how is your relationship with mayor tao initially before all this happened? >> initially, i thought we had a good relationship. >> since this report has been released. have you had any communication with the mayor? >> i haven't spoken to the mayor directly, but my hope is that we sit down and have some discussion to figure out what the next steps are. >> what about your relationship with the federal monitor? robert warshaw? i've always had a good relationship with the federal

monitor at any point with either of them. did you get a feeling that something was off? did they communicate to you that they were unhappy or was there ever a discussion that could have led you to believe this could happen? no, there was never a discussion. >> there was never a question. things seemed very positive from both relationship tips. >> the report clearly states there is no evidence of systemic failures within opd. do you think robert warshaw has a conflict of interest with city officials? >> no, i think that he's given his perspective on where the department is. i think it's important for the city to also have a perspective on where the department is now. hopefully this external, you know, review will help the city understand that the things that have been said about the department may not be as accurate as what's thought. i wanted to share a part of the statement from mayor tao in response to all of this. >> she wrote, quote, by immediately and prematurely standing up for himself

personally, mr. armstrong failed to stand up for accountability at opd. his conduct forced me to make one of the most difficult decisions i have ever had to make. i am proud that i, with the support of my administration , face the decision head on. what's your reaction to that? >> for the mayor to think that any individual, particularly an african-american in america who's falsely accused of something, should not stand up for themselves is not realistic to me. i'm hoping that we're able to settle this, but this has had a significant impact on me as an individual, on my family, on my professional life, and my ability to go out and seek other employment. >> right now, the police commission is in the process of vetting the top eight candidates to be oakland's next police chief. three of those candidates will be sent directly to mayor tao. now, i asked armstrong if he believes his name will be one of those three names, and he said, i look forward to whatever they forward over to the city. so we'll see what happens. and i do want to point out the commission was very clear. they

are prioritizing their search to be a local candidate, someone who's very familiar with the city. okay. >> let's see what they turn up. appreciate it. thank you, steph. and you can get in touch with the abc7 news team by calling the number you see on your screen here or go to our website abc7 news.com slash i-team. >> new at 6:00 tonight we will be joined live by seven on your side's michael finney. he helps a woman who noticed money missing from her bank account when she contacted the bank about it. the situation got worse. also ahead, a north bay high school senior using her own personal tragedy to teach about the dangers of fentanyl. >> i'm cornell barnard. that story coming up but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces

get all grade level participation, you know, my club sign up sheet filled out and first 20 minutes. >> kate is a senior at archie williams high school in san anselmo, where she started a chapter of project one life, a national teen run nonprofit charity, dedicated to increasing awareness about the dangers of fentanyl among young adults. >> so i'll provide resources and just knowledge how to counteract an overdose. if you see someone having an overdose. >> kate says she got involved after the death of her beloved uncle lance, who died from a fentanyl overdose in san francisco. several years ago. >> that was life changing for me. so first i reached out to the national nonprofit hit project one life at and essentially got involved right away. >> now she's the lead of social media for the organization marine county health and human services says on average, there's about one fatal overdose each week in the county and two non fatal overdoses each day in

san francisco. between january and july of this year, there were 473 total overdose deaths and 385 were related to fentanyl. >> i think the reason why i joined her club is just it's really prevalent for teens and especially for teens dealing with mental health issues. >> kate says she's getting lots of support, especially from her principal. i'm super proud of her and all the support she's getting from her classmates. >> and i just think the more education that we can provide for our students and the community, the better. >> kate says she'll keep spreading the word about synthetic opioid dangers. she hopes her uncle lance, would be proud. >> unfortunately, he lost that battle. but i think he'd be really proud of me taking action in san anselmo. >> cornell bernard, abc seven news. >> and if you or someone you know is struggling with drug addiction, you can find a list of local vetted resources on our website abc seven news.com/take action today alameda county supervisors took a dramatic step declaring a state of emergency

on homelessness. >> the declaration directs the office of homeless care and coordination to come up with a response plan to 60 in 60 days with specific steps to be taken to address the crisis. it comes as the number of unhoused individuals shot up by 73% over the last five years. those on the front lines of this issue say today's step is long overdue . >> i think we're at the starting point of it with the state of emergency, but it will take a while for it to trickle down. somebody waiting on their next meal. can't wait on red tape to eat. >> declaring a state of emergency also sets the stage for the possibility of additional state and federal funding. >> a major announcement this afternoon from abc seven news. political analyst jackie speier. she's leaving her role with us for a return to public service. >> i've decided to announce here on abc seven that i'm going to run for the board of supervisors in san mateo county in what's called district one, which is going to be vacated by

supervisor dave pine because as he's up against term limits, so . wow. so i'm going back to my roots spear made the announcement on our 4:00 newscast saying there was a lot of work to do in san mateo county. i want to make sure we do some really good things that relate to housing, making it affordable. all the middle class has been hollowed out of san mateo county. it's just for the very poor and the rich. the richest county in california, but home to 27,000 kids in poverty. >> spear retired from the house of representative house of represent earlier this year after serving seven terms in office as she worked as a political analyst here at abc seven news for the past eight months. >> a special day for our very own abc seven news reporter. loose pena. she just became a us citizen when she gave us a glimpse at her swearing in ceremony in san francisco today . >> or purpose of evasion. so help me god. so help me god. and that's it.

>> yeah. this has been a permanent us resident since she was 11 years old when she immigrated to the states with her parents from her native colombia. >> and i am a us citizen today. finally i will get to vote. so excited. yay! >> and she did register to vote right after that ceremony. >> luis, ever the journalist right there documenting the entire experience. right. >> all right. well, we are keeping a close eye on what's going on with the air outside. yeah the haze, the smoke. >> a lot of concern out there. we're checking back in now with abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. yeah and the smoky hazy conditions are going to last through tomorrow. >> julianne and i do want to show you a live picture right now from our emeryville camera down town. oakland barely visible with the smoke just right overhead. it is in the mid 60s in oakland, 63, san francisco, san jose, 72 degrees and 61 in half. moon bay. hard to see from our sfo camera right now. it is so hazy. 70s for santa rosa novato napa. right now vacaville is at 80 degrees

and low to mid 70s for concord and livermore on live doppler seven. we are seeing some low clouds just kind of regrouping near the coastline. as i show you the wider perspective here, that upper level low kept our temperatures below average for the most part, much of the last several days. and that pattern is going to stick around, even though the low is going to move out. this certainly providing the lift for those thunderstorms in the sierra nevada. so what's going to happen? that low starts to move on out as this trough develops to our north. that's going to drop down into the great basin, but it will produce showers over the sierra and snow showers at the very highest elevations kick up our northerly winds, northeasterly winds that downslope wind is what's going to raise the fire danger. we have a fire weather watch that is up for the north bay hills tomorrow night at 11 p.m. it runs until 11 a.m. thursday for solano county until 6 p.m. thursday. but this covers not just the north bay hills and solano county, but lake county as well. a gusty winds up to 35 miles an hour. humidity 25 to 30. any new fires that do

develop will rapidly grow and spread. so that is the concern. something to keep an eye on as we go hour by hour, you will notice those winds ramping up as we head towards midnight thursday, 34 miles an hour. this is a very drying wind. thursday morning is still gusty across the region. so that's when our greatest fire danger will be. you will notice it goes up to moderate category tomorrow afternoon in the north and the east bay. parts of the hills and the peninsula. and then we go into the high to very high category for parts of the north bay mountains. so that's why there is a concern on thursday morning of that fire danger, wednesday night into thursday morning, golden gate bridge camera. hard to make out whether it's smoke or low clouds, but it's certainly a combination, an smoky and hazy skies tonight and tomorrow, gusty in the hills and higher fire danger. wednesday night into thursday, autumn arrives on friday at 1150 at night. and there's no real sign of heat in the forecast as we go hour by hour tomorrow morning, we will see some areas of low clouds and then the winds will

pick up and the clouds will clear away. so we will be in for a sunny wednesday. but those temperatures still a little behind where they should be for this time of year, mid 50s to low 60s out the door tomorrow morning. do expect the smoky, hazy conditions to stick around tomorrow afternoon as well. low 80s inland, mid 60s coast even though the sun will be out, it's going to be very hazy with the visibility poor at times. accuweather seven day forecast those temperatures in the low to mid 80s next several days. the weekend is included even though the season changes on friday, there's no real sign of the season change other than the gusty winds in the hills. we're expecting 60s coast side clouds will increase on monday and we are anticipating the possibility of some showers on tuesday, believe it or not. i know it sounds crazy, julian and alma, but we may need those umbrellas as early as tuesday. >> all right. >> we'll take the rain. appreciate it. thanks sandhya. well, abc seven today held its annual operation save a life event at fire station four in san francisco. fire departments from across the bay area were there to increase public

awareness of fire and carbon monoxide safety partnerships with the home depot and keta have helped provide more than 45,000 free smoke alarms in more than 5000 co alarms in the bay area today. abc seven news anchor karina nova and abc seven's general manager tom zebrowski took part in this event, helping announce another big donation from quita. >> we see that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. the gift that was given to us by quita, home depot and in partnership with abc seven is the gift of life. it's imperative that people get these for their occupancies for their residents. and yes, now there's no excuse for the children taking that few extra minutes when the time changes to replace batteries or not to put it off. >> when the you know, the smoke detector has been taken down, especially when it's being done, because maybe it sounded too much during a cooking problem.

it's really important to make sure that you do that because when it's time, there's really no second chance. >> and because of that donation, you can check with your local fire department to get a free smoke or carbon monoxide alarm. >> coming up next, the legal trouble now involving the parents of fdx founder, sam bankman-fried. what the palo alto couple is accused of knowing and

more than 106 points. the nasdaq went down 32 and the s&p 500 fell almost ten. the social network formerly known as twitter might soon charge you to use it. that's what ceo elon musk said yesterday during a live streamed event on with israeli british israeli prime minister excuse me, benjamin netanyahu. musk said it was the

only thing he can think of to quote, combat vast armies of bots. that was a response to netanyahu commenting on keeping bots from promoting hate speech. musk didn't give a timeline for the possible shift or specify what the fee would be beyond saying, quote, a few dollars or something. musk has been known to hint at big moves like this and then later reverse course. >> as the parent of ftxs founder sam bankman-fried now face legal troubles of their own. joe bankman and barbara fried live in palo alto. the company's current leaders are suing, accusing the parents of fraudulently misappropriating millions of dollars from ftx. in a statement, the couple's attorneys deny those claims. it claims the legal action is an attempt to undermine their son's trial days before it's set to start. sam bankman-fried has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of fraud and conspiracy . it's national voter registration day tonight, a look at the efforts to get people registered. >> of course, that's only half the battle.

>> also ahead, the requests that are coming in for graffiti on private property, and that's up almost 74. >> and we'll take a look at what it will take to clean up san francisco's

both simple and life-changing. what's not a choice? addiction to opioids like fentanyl. but even with opioid use disorder, you still have a choice. by choosing treatment, you choose family, your career and your life on your terms.

this is abc7 news. if you think you've spotted more graffiti and tagging in san francisco lately, you're not imagining things. apparently the problem has gotten worse. graffiti, of course is illegal and for a city that is trying to improve its image, it's going to take more than enforcement by police. >> abc7 news reporter leanne melendez looks at what can be done to clean up the city and build a better bay area. they went over this and this side of saguaro cervantez is a mission district muralist whose work got tagged a few times as he was prepping. >> so, you know who it was? >> who it was? yeah. >> have you ever reported it to police? >> no. >> no need. because once word got out that it was cervantes who was painting the mural, it became off limits to any tagger . >> the ones that just scribbled and tagged for the hell of it. those are the ones that are a

problem some call it infringing to impress us. >> carlos gonzalez is also a muralist and a former probation officer. >> there's a bunch of knuckleheads who just don't care whatever this sign or name is typically only known to them. >> and while you might think that this is an eyesore, if enough people start recognizing this moniker in their minds, they have achieved some kind of notoriety, 8-80 or fame, especially after covid. >> i think a lot. i think there's like kind of like a like a loss of respect. how did things get so bad for one ding covid, the board of supervisors paused any kind of graffiti removal in enforcement. >> and so when we had more than a year of not going to enforce it, if we didn't have that stick with the carrot and stick. >> sometimes people would just let it sit on their building. and then you're right, more tags will come. another, another, another. >> property owners are the ones who have to pay to paint over

the graffiti. this is a exit, so you can't just you can't just remove it. >> you have to replace the glass. >> it's almost like a cat and mouse game. exactly where they tag it. you paint over it, they come. how much does it cost you ? >> so the small glass like this one, just the square right here. if i'm going to replace it, it's a $300. >> police use surveillance video to help connect the tagger with his moniker and try to build a case from there. they also catch a few taggers in the act personally for graffiti tagging. >> i've written i've written a handful of arrest warrants based on about their aggregate numbers. i would say that's that's roughly not too many. well, as a police department, our aggregate numbers between 60 or 70 people at this point for the year it's especially challenging since the department has a severe shortage of

officers. i think it speaks to the good work of our officers because even under these demands, we're still arresting people, defacing someone's property with graffiti is a felony. >> with a person facing jail time and a fine. about a year ago, public works introduced a pilot program to remove and paint over public areas that affect small businesses. at no cost to them. but they never anticipated getting so many calls to the 311 customer service center. >> where we're really seeing a difference are the requests that are coming in for graffiti on private property, and that's up almost 74. so a really big spike there. >> graffiti and the act of tagging will never completely go away. but city officials insist there are ways to curtail it through community involvement. public works for example, offers several volunteer programs to clean up neighborhoods, and another idea is to encourage encourage those who tag to express their art in designated

public spaces. cervantes was once a tagger who found a more creative and meaningful way to express his art. >> it's nice to discover something where you can point somebody in the right direction, and then later on in life, there's successful artists in san francisco. >> leon melendez, abc seven news security and safety improved around san francisco's moscone center during the salesforce conference. >> dreamforce today, the mayor joined us live on getting answers to discuss the challenges of making that change permanent. >> our teams are out there working really hard to try and get people into treatment. we just got to keep at it. we got to be as aggressive as possible and we don't need obstructionists and people who are pushing back against what we're trying to do. this is not homeless sweeps. this is homeless. help this is trying to get people into help. >> the mayor, london breed says one obstacle, the city is facing is the federal injunction that puts restrictions on clearing those homeless encampments. you

can watch interviews like this one every weekday. when you watch getting answers at 3 p.m. right here on abc7. and wherever you stream. >> a caravan of truckers rolled into the state capitol this morning with a loud message for governor newsom. the truckers want the governor to sign ab 316. the bill would require a trained human operator on autonomous trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds. drivers say self driving trucks are not safe . they also fear a massive loss of jobs as these big corporations want to use autonomous vehicle technology for one reason only, and that's to eliminate jobs. >> they want to eliminate jobs because they want to lower their labor costs and increase profits . >> governor newsom hasn't indicated if he will sign the bill into law. several states, including texas and florida, already allow self-driving trucks on their freeways. >> president biden addressed the united nations general assembly today and used his speech to hit on a number of pressing issues. he addressed climate change as well as tensions with china. but

his primary focus was on russia's invasion of ukraine with ukrainian president vladimir zelensky. in the crowd, president biden asked world leaders for their continued support. >> but russia believes the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize ukraine without consequence. but i ask you this if we abandon the core principles of the united states to appease an aggressor, can any member state in this body feel confident that they are protected by biden and zelensky are scheduled to meet at the white house on thursday. >> today, a nationwide push got underway to get more people registered to vote. the reality is not enough people are registering for and then voting in elections. abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has more on the work being done to increase voter turnout. the setup is underway in santa clara county for one of many events being held across the country to get more people to use their voice. >> today is national voter registration day across america.

everyone is registering as many people as they can to vote. the 2024 general election is more than a year away. >> primary and special elections are happening even sooner. nationally and locally. >> candidate filing started already for the march, so it's important to be out there making making sure that everyone you know, is registered experts say registering people to vote is only part of the battle in increasing election participation in getting registered voters to turn out is another challenge in the november 2022 general election, 50.7% of registered voters participated statewide. >> outside the primaries in june of 2022, saw 33.1% turnout. >> think the united states suffers from voter fatigue when it which means that it seems like we're always voting for everything going all the time and the result of that is that the smaller elections, local elections, state elections, primary elections tend to have lower turnout. >> csu, east bay associate political science professor dan lee says there's even more reasons that keep turnout low, especially among certain communities. >> historically, minorities and

youth have not been mobilized to vote to turn out to vote. there's been a great push for these communities to be registered to vote, but that registration isn't enough and we need to do more in order to get them to actually show up to the ballot box or to turn in their voter, their voter form. the santa clara county registrar's office says work is being done to make that happen, not just by the county, but community groups. >> over 19 organizations all around the county that are coming. league of women voters, sdsu votes, all different kinds of organizations in the area registering to vote can be done online at any post office or any government agency that has voter registration cards in order to really have a truly representative democracy. >> everyone who is eligible should register and turn out in the south bay. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> a woman's bank account is debited $5,000 and when she complains adds another $5,000 goes missing. i'm michael finney. seven on your side

>> all right. we're getting another check of the weather here on abc seven news at six. >> end of summer and some strangeness outside sandia. >> yeah we've got bad air quality across the bay area. as we take a look right now alma and julian, it is bad. it is unhealthy. that is red for parts of san rafael, oakland, san francisco, redwood city and fremont has gone to poor for sensitive groups. best to avoid exposure because you see how bad it is from our san jose camera. hard to breathe out there, especially with that smoke in the air from the wildfires up in northern california and oregon. we have some low clouds trying to regroup up along the coastline as we look at live doppler seven tomorrow afternoon , clouds will clear away for a sunny day, but it is still going to be hazy for your wednesday as we check out the sierra nevada on live doppler seven. you will notice it's active weather with showers and thunderstorms. they're going to see another round of some wet weather tomorrow, even some higher elevation snow going into thursday day, but really high elevation. i mean, we're talking about 9000ft now. we're going to

fast forward to next week because this computer model wants to bring in a few showers on tuesday morning. stay tuned. that's still days away and it will likely change the accuweather seven day forecast. we're going to keep it mild but certainly still hazy for tomorrow as we head into thursday. gusty winds in the hills improving air quality as fall begins on friday and we will see temperatures remaining below average right on through the first weekend of fall. and then that chance of some showers on tuesday. julian and alma. >> all right. thanks, andrea. >> okay. so fall here, but not quite. football weather just yet here in the bay know i have a pop quiz. >> you guys ready? okay. here we go. it's not going to be that hard. all right. okay what day is it today? today is tuesday. yeah are you sure? are you sure? yeah. okay. all right. well we'll see. maybe it's not not for the 40 niners because it's a short week. they just beat the rams. not much time to prepare. 40 niners got to cram to get ready because they're playing thursday night football. oh see

, now it starts to make more sense t

we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. great on their own, even better together. try cretors, handcrafted small-batch popcorn.

of the 49 ers. see, they host the giants on thursday night football at levi's so compressed week in terms of preparation. home opener for the two and zero nine ers practice kind of light today because tuesday is normally a day off for players just figuring out how to cram all the preparations into a short workweek, that can get pretty confusing. you feel extremely rushed. >> i know the coaches. i mean, they probably didn't sleep very much last night. i saw the players a few hours ago and it was the first time i saw him. >> i told him it was wednesday morning and by the end of our first meeting, it was thursday. >> tuesday is usually our off day and we're basically cramming to preparation days into our off day tomorrow morning is friday,

but by 10:00 it's the day before the game. >> you're definitely sore. you might be a little tired, but you know, whether it's the caffeine or, you know, the lights and the fans, you get into it pretty quick. >> it's definitely very rushed. >> so what day is it again anyway? it's even worse for the giants because they have to fly up here. saquon barkley sprained his ankle in the win over arizona on sunday. he's expected to be out for three weeks. however new york head coach brian daboll would not rule barkley out just yet of thursday's game. >> i'm not saying that he's out yet. he's he's a quick healer. i'm not saying he's in. he's out . we're going to take it all the way up with him to thursday. but he feels a lot better today. i just i just talked to him. so we'll see. we'll see where we're at. >> it feels like gamesman ship there. hard to imagine him playing after that injury. deion sanders has taken the college football world by storm in colorado. his buffs are must see tv every week and there were death threats when one of the buffs star players got knocked

out of saturday's game on a late hit. travis hunter is a two way player. he's one of the best players in the entire country. a future nfl player. colorado state safety henry blackburn took an absolute cheap shot. you see it right here. it was way late. it knocked hunter out of the game and he's out actually for several weeks now because he has a lacerated liver. well, blackburn, the defensive back started getting death threats on social media just moments after that hit. and today, coach prime said, enough, stop it, henry blackburn. >> i want you guys to record this and run with this. henry blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game. he made a tremendous hit on travis on the sideline. you could call it dirty, you could call it. he was just playing the game of football. but whatever it was, it does not constitute that he should be receiving death threats. he does not deserve of a death threat over a game. at the end of the day, this is a game someone must win. someone

must lose. everybody continues their life the next day. >> dion's impressive as a head coach. you got to tell you, significant piece of baseball news here. angels star shohei ohtani had elbow surgery today. he's one of the best pitchers and best hitters in the game. unprecedented. and he will be offered hundreds of millions of dollars because he is an impending free agent. so the plan for shohei is to focus only on hitting next season and then get back on the mound in 2025. hello giants might be time to open that wallet up a little bit, but it's a tricky situation because you don't know if this would be his second tommy john surgery, if he's going to be able to come back from that. so how much do you pay him? and meanwhile, more immediate concern, the giants are two games out with 12 games left to that final wild card spot playing arizona tonight. these are almost must win games for the giants. otherwise, the season will end in a dozen games. >> got to get it done. got to get it done. >> all right. thanks, larry. tonight on abc seven at eight, catch, celebrity family feud,
