win one game, i don't care if he came from planet mars. i don't care. get him in here. let do it. i don't know enough about the situation. it's hard unless you've actually interviewed him. have you talked to him to know, is he all in on football? is he in the kind of shape he has to be? those are the rumors floated out there. >> i haven't talked to him. but the san francisco people, chip kelly never thought it was a problem. commitment and doing his job, and sass you saas you said, he good year. >> al: a time-out is taken on defense by arizona. always dangerous when you go to the fans for advice. jimmy haslem with the skid row once and said grab johnny manziel as i recall. >> cris: there's a guy i get excited about a little bit. any time you see a young man

come back from injury, and jaylon smith was a dynamic player at notre dame. he was a great young man and how wonderful his attitude was. the last game of his college career in the bowl game, in what looked like a nothing kind of play, gets hurt for the first time. he was telling us, the first time he's been injured. sits out the entire year. thank god now that he is feeling better and that foot is now starting to -- he can lift it now. that was the issue. he couldn't lift his foot. now he can. i think he's very confident he's going to be a player for them this year. >> his brother is tearing it up, cris. >> cris: rod is getting a lot of action. he might be one of those guys that surprises some people. they feel like he can come in and block a little bit and do some protection stuff. >> al: carried 15 times tonight, 46 yards. he's caught 3 for 25 to set up a

third down and two. this will take us down to almost the 2:00 warning. >> al: time-out arizona. >> al: time-out by arizona. here is smith working out jaylon before the game tonight. >> cris: tell me what you see, tony. >> i see a little bounce and a guy that doesn't look like he's worried about his leg. so that -- he wasn't ready for lee. that's for sure. he looks like he's not thinking about it. that's got to be a good feeling for the cowboys. >> cris: he said that they had to let it heal. whatever the nerve, it heals at one millimeter per day, right, al? isn't that what he said. one millimeter a day. the dallas cowboys team doctor

that did the surgery on him and so the cowboys had some insights as to his recovery period. >> al: wish him the best. they're going to spot him throughout preseason and have him ready for opening night. all-out blitz and they'll be stopped short of a first down. connor hamlett, one of the dallas tight ends is forced out of bounds. it will be fourth down when we come back with the 2:00 warning.

but they cleaned everything up. new field turf here. done a heck of a job. >> cris: what do you think of this tony, a hard count or what? >> no. offensive duty. >> al: indeed he does. flip it back to smith. picks up the first down. a stiff arm, a hurdle and a flag at the end of the play. at the 33 yard line. impressive night for that man's brother. >> referee: illegal block in the back. offense, number 18. ten-yard penalty. the result of the play will still be a first down. >> al: right. because the penalty is ep forced from the spot. he had picked up the first down. they can run the clock out now. >> cris: the block in the back. but because it took place there, they're going to end up with a

first down out of it. >> al: the spot from the 47 yard line. arizona can stop the clock only once. the dallas cowboys appear to be on their way to a victory and a game in which they trailed 150 0 early on. little juggle there. but he holds on. another flag. let's see. we have had 18 -- >> referee: holding. offense number 62. ten-yard penalty. replay first down. >> they really shouldn't take this penalty here. i think bruce arians is telling them that now. this gives them a chance to get the ball back. >> referee: second down. >> that's the one thing you tell

your offense. we captain have a penalty. that's the only thing that beats us here. >> al: in 1:47. the ball is spotted at the 46 yard line. one time-out. it's now second down and ten. now what? >> referee: 12 men on the play. defense. five-yard penalty. still second down. >> al: all right. that makes it second down and five. >> cris: arians at the scrimmage, the guy makes a diving catch down the sideline. young player. two-minute drill, tick, tick, tick. all that stuff going on. doesn't have the presence to roll out of bounds. you're down. how happy do you think bruce was? >> did he go ballistic?

>> cris: this kid will never forget he had to roll out of bounds. >> al: cowboys trying to run out the clock. smith to the outside. pretty good move there. ball taken to the 39 yard line. arizona takes a final time-out. a couple people being honored this weekend. david hill, former boss of yours, cris. >> cris: yes, indeed. sdpls launched fox sports in the '930s. when they got the nfl contract. the great david hill and ed werder. started in print in dallas and wint went on to espn. covered the national football league, win the dick mccain award.

congratulations to those guys. >> cris: my gosh. good memories back in the days. >> al: oh, yeah. hilly was unbelievable. he wasted money putting anybody but him on camera. that was one of the more entertaining guys that television has ever known. >> cris: he's still going strong, too. his own company. stint with "american idol," right? >> al: the oscars as well. brian brown is tackled at the 40. they will not be able to run the clock out. the clock here on the next play should be down under a minute. >> cris: all right, coach. now you punt it, don't you? >> punt it. have about 50 seconds. that penalty really hurt dallas. the game was basically over. now they have to play defense one more time.

>> al: young knight will have a chance perhaps to come back in here and pull off a miracle finish such as it would be in preseason. miracle with a lower case m. >> cris: i think your miracle has been redefined after the super bowl, hasn't it? i know al is cheering for a long snap over the head here and a safety. >> al: why not. let's play deep into the night. jeremy ross is back to accept the kick if it doesn't go into the end zone or out of bounds. sam irwin-hill has done a ton of particul kicking tonight. takes a nice back spin for him. doesn't go into the end zone. down to the 20 yard line.

so field goal would win it. we don't have to go the entire distance. maybe about 60 or so yards. it would set up an interesting ending. >> cris: as a coach, you got to love this situation at the end of the game. game winning situations on offense and defense. >> you've got some young guys to see how they perform. if they can do it under presh u you are. >> al: if the game really counted. phil dawson, the 42-year-old has been in the league for two decades, was a part of the off-season from san francisco to shore up that kicking group, he would be the guy that you would want. meanwhile, out of the pocket and giving himself up at the 26 yard line. the clock keeps on ticking. it will be second down and four. he'll spike it here to stop the clock.

third down and four with 28 seconds. tony, you had no idea you were going to work this hard tonight, did you? >> no. i didn't know it would be a two-minute drill here at the end. >> al: thank you for staying all the way. >> it's been great. >> al: probably want to get back to the hotel and reminisce a little more with the guys. >> i have my boys here and they want to meet ezekiel elliott. we were staying until the end of the game no matter what. >> al: beautiful. >> cris: your boys and everybody else. >> al: fires over the middle. that's caught. up at the 36 yard line. down to 17, 16. ticking down. >> cris: you almost have to go -- it's tight if you can get a completion and get up and get it stopped at this point. that wasn't the most efficient

use of those chances. you want to get something going. but at the same time, you have to realize, you got to get the ball down to the 30 yard line. so you've got deep crossing routes. you have to do something to work it down the field and take a chance. >> no question. >> al: swing it underneath. 45. that should take us to the finish line. maybe one more spike, maybe not. and that will end the game. at least unofficially. we'll wait for boger's call. >> referee: this is the end of the game. >> al: thank you very much, jerome. >> cris: was there ever a doubt? >> al: makes it official. the dallas cowboys come from behind. win it by a score of 20-18ment tony thank you again. we'll see you in foxborough. coming up next local news, later tonight, "the tonight show" with jimmy fallon.

so far they have not been able to connect him to the fire. fire is about 50% contained. the weather has been favorable for firefighters, let's take a live look over san jose. beautiful as the sun goes down. a little humid and sticky. more florida than california. let's bring in jeff ranieri. and it is threatening to rain, at least for much of the day. what will actually happen. >> we do have thunderstorms getting close by right now. it was so strange outside. temperatures as hot as 99 in concord and the humid monsoonal moisture moving up from the south and things are active toward the east. we are seeing a thunderstorm approach brentwood. it looks like a heavy downpour here over the next 20 to 30 minutes. the other spot we're watching is towards the tracy triangle. a thunderstorm headed right toward the north side of tracy as we head through the next 30 minutes, doesn't look like the hold up toward livermore, but we'll closely watch that for any kind of redevelopment as we get

i guess his life was just falling apart. he went bad. >> reporter: and he also worked as a clinical psychologist in the north bay, specializing in drug and alcohol abuse issues as well as mental disorders. berkeley police also confirmed to us this afternoon that he worked with a mental health crisis unit in berkeley alongside berkeley police officers sometimes where he was well thought of. live in el cerrito, thom jenson, nbc bay area news. >> another police chase in the east bay today. chp officers tried to pull over a driver of a stolen bmw near pleasant ton but he got on 580 going the wrong way in the afternoon. officers tracked the car to oakland, the driver then drove the wrong way on several oakland streets until officers pulled off a successful pit maneuver and eventually arresting the to 30-year-old driver from antioch without much incident. not the kind of knock on the

investigation. a one-word complaint triggers a $500 fine without warning. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura and several viewers asked us to help fight city hall. nbc bay area responds next. i'm jeff ranieri, tracking a thunderstorm over brentwood right now and we'll let you know when the humidity and cloud cover moves out. my weather in about 10 minutes. to a lot of unhappy people in

san jose. they were fined hundreds well tonight nbc bay area responds to a lot of unhappy people in soif. they were fined hundreds of dollars for allegedly setting off fireworks. >> but they insist they didn't do it and now they are accusing the city of setting up an unfair system. chris chmura brought their concerns to the city and we have a follow up. >> a story we've been following for two weeks. some of the citations might not hold water. legal scholars are raising questions and we have an in side like at city data that reveals a

murky start to some accusations. the dispute is simple. >> i think the city should back off. >> these south san jose residents were fined $500 for using fireworks even though no one in authority confronted them with the accusation. >> how many police officers visited you. >> not one. >> how many firefighters? >> none. >> code enforcement? >> nobody. >> nobody. >> so why did they mail the bright yellow citations? someone complained online. they have this internet form and the fire marshal doesn't have the fire power to investigate every complaint, so if he got more than one complaint, he fined them without any investigation. >> as if there is more than one complaint, then they don't really need enough evidence to make you guilty of the crime. >> reporter: we reviewed the city full data base of fireworks complaints, some included vote

photo or video evidence and had a fine and other had detailed statements but several lacked detail yet still triggered a fine. five accusers didn't give an address, just a block. the city issued a citation any way and hasn't explained how it chose the address. one had one word that resulted in fines. some accusers might have gotten follow-up phone calls but it is not clear how many. the complaint that caused amy's fine contains three words -- several high fireworks. >> when is the last time you bought fireworks? >> oh, gosh i haven't touched fireworks in 30 years. >> her citation doesn't lay out any evidence against her. she said the fire marshal told her more than one report against an address triggered the $500 fine. >> i'm automatically guilty and they keep the $500. >> reporter: we only found her address in the complaint data base once. so we wanted to know why she was cited. but the city refuses to address individual cases with us. it said people like amy will have to pay the $500 fine and

request a hearing to see the evidence. >> think they ought to talk to some lawyers about the validity of that system. >> university of california law professor david levine said limited city resources do not justify shortcuts like accepting two complaints as gospel and not contacting the accused. >> make some attempt to talk to the person who allegedly was using the fireworks or was permitting fireworks to be on their premises. at least do that. a few phone calls are not that expensive or time consuming. >> city attorney rick doyle is acknowledging potential missteps and they are re-evaluating how the fireworks citations are handled. he said this is front and center and i think there are some lessons to be learned. we're told the report is coming but in the meantime residents are still required to pay the $500 fine before they can challenge the citation. >> you can't prove a negative. i can't prove that i didn't set

off any fireworks. >> reporter: this is not the first time the city of san jose has faced scrutiny for stream lining law enforcement. >> this is another gimmick on the city to raise money. >> reporter: this attorney filed a class-action lawsuit against the city of san jose about ten years ago after it deployed unmarked vans to snap photos of suspected speeders, who later got tickets in the maim mail -- the mail. the city did halt the program and sees sim lair ates in today's fireworks fines. >> you have to do this right and respect the basic principles of democracy, which is you should show know who your accusers are and what is nature of the accusation and having a hearing in front of an impartial officer without paying an arm and leg about it. >> they are urging the city counsel to address concerns at the next meeting on august 8th because their fines are due the following week. but nothing is on the agenda

yet. by the way, the online form that started all of this is no longer taking complaints. it is closed. though a city spokesperson tells us staff planned to shut it down after the fourth of july. if you have a consumer complaint, please call he is at 888-996 tips or at nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> the story frustrated us when you aired it a few weeks ago and the follow up is frustrating. >> and we'll continue to follow up and be at that meeting next week. to a developing story now, flamed engulf one of the tallest residential buildings in the world. this fire broke out shortly after midnight in dubai. the 86-floor building has been evacuated and so far no injuries have been reported. this same tour dubbed the torch fire caught fire back in 2015. president trump alluded briefly to the russia investigation that has been dogging his administration during a rally tonight in west virginia. the crowd of friendly welcoming

the president pledged to increase coal mining jobs and pass an infrastructure bill but police did remove one protester after the special investigators looking into the russia meddling is convening a grand jury, the president dismissed that as fake news. >> the russia story is a total fabrication. it's just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics. that is all it is. >> president went on to say that prosecutors should be looking at hillary clinton's e-mails but that is not what is happening because robert mueller is impanelling a grand jury. the move considered away from mueller to subpoena witnesses and records as part of the probe. insiders say this likely means the probe has expanded beyond just michael flynn, the former national security adviser and his ties to russia. >> it is suggesting there is more to investigate than just

that, we are going to transfer everything to a grand jury because we are using a lot and we want it to be more convenient. president trump's attorney said they had no prior knowledge of the grand jury and there is no reason to believe the president is under federal investigation. okay. back here at home, a scene in southern california, self people rescued from flash flooding. take a look. heavy rain creating rivers of mud. this is in acton, a small town about 50 miles north of l.a. a lot of people stuck in this dangerous mess. many of them, you could see there, drivers and some had to be airlifted to higher ground. the weather is part of a monsoonal flow out of northern mexico and arizona. a flash flood watch is in effect tonight for the san gabriel mountains and the valley. >> and they are so dangerous and you talk about the inclination to try to drive through some form of water and you don't know what will happen. >> six inches of water could carry a car away.

just be careful. we won't see anything like that tonight but we are tracking isolated thunderstorms close to the east bay. as we get you into the microclimate forecast right now. it is all about contra costa and alameda counties, where the hottest temperatures have been. you could see the cloud cover in place. it issa humid all day and down right uncomfortable and feeling strange after 99 in concord and down to 85 and eventually see 70s tonight but the cloud cover is not going anywhere as we head throughout the next several hours. let's take a look at the monsoonal moisture that brought the flooding to southern california and it is continuing to bring thunderstorms close to us, also a few lightning strikes in the central valley. the one spot we're keeping an eye on is brentwood impacted by a thunderstorm. head inside. we have had a lightning strike in the past 15 minutes. we are looking at heavy downpours, possibly even some isolated hail. we'll continue to monitor this. it looks like it might just hold up towards west hartley, as we head into 9:16 for tonight.

as we get a wider view here off to the south, you'll also be able to see right noer the tracy triangle where we are looking at a thunderstorm approaching there as well. but for most of the bay area it is the clouds that we're dealing with at this point. tomorrow temperatures cool off a few degrees but not able to shake the cloud cover. it is going to stay muggy. 99 in antioch. 94 in concord. 70 in san francisco and san jose at 87. we have a longer look at the extended forecast, the good news is by this weekend, temperatures will drop a little bit more and we'll have less humidity. a new update in about 20 minutes. >> jeff, we'll see you shortly. up next, the grandfather of craft beers has a new owners. so what does that mean for san francisco's anchor steam beer. back in a moment. this busy mom spends her days driving all over town.

sapporo was chosen because they were the only ones that believed in the legacy and continued to build upon what is there. they are expected to open a new tap room soon. up next here at 8:00, leaning, sinking and now a possible fire danger. we investigate the new concerns for the troubled millenium to you -- tower in san francisco. >> for the last four or five years. >> one of the safest neighborhoods targeted by criminals and the close call for a young girl and would-be burglars. who are these people?
