are figuring out ways to verify bitcoin transactions. when you do that you get a bit of bitcoin in the bank. so it's highly profitable the more you expand it to scale, but it sucks up a ton of electricity. in places like wenatchee and other places, they don't want to see their electric bills go up and they want to protect their way of life. this is a new frontier. >> huge debate on wall street. and throughout the world now, is this just another currency or is a it a bubble. fascinating. we will be watching. thank you. and you can see cryptocurrency, virtual money real world 7:00 sunday night. scientists are calling it the first solid evidence of interbreeding between ancient human species. what a 90,000-year-old bone fragment is revealing about our origins. you are watching "cbs this morning." #

>> you say in here, you called yourself an underdog becoming a champion. you are not an underdog anymore. fair to say? >> not anymore. i mentioned, we came out in the postseason and we played the falcons and some of the our players wore the dog mask because of the underdog that we faced throughout the whole postseason. and now, you know, i think having won a championship, obviously i think the dog mask can come off and we are no longer the underdog. it's something that we can learn from, obviously, as a team. i'm going to learn from it, and as we move forward into 2018. >> there is benefit to being an underdog. can a champion still be an underdog or at least take some of the things that got you this far with you? your humility? >> for sure. i think there is a work ethic that goes along with it and something that the team showed last season with the amount of injuries that piled up and losing our starting quarterback

at the end of the season and nick foles coming in, who his story in its own rite is special as well, helping us win a championship. so there are definitely some underlying methods and ways of kind of motivating your team through an underdog mentality. >> can we talk about that mindset? you have to change the mindset of your team. you were underdogs. you are now champions. that requires a new set of thinking. you are a relatively new coach. how did you walk into this when you started and get a whole bunch of guys who have a lot of independent thoughts to get the kind of mindset you wanted? >> it's a challenge. my first year we weren't very good as a football team on the football field. we were 7-9 that first year. i credit howie roseman, joe douglas and the front office for bringing that new free agent talent, the draft, and helping us, you know, sort of improve our roster. for me it was about staying the course, staying true to who i believe i am, being open, being

honest, being transparent with the players. you know, being firm with the players, but at the same time listening to the players. i think that has been the difference for me, is listening to the guys. that's what helped us win this championship, was -- and you saw the clip with nick foles and i on the sidelines with the phillies special and how he communicated that to me. it was just a connection that our team had, you know, all season long that helped us win that championship. >> will carson wentz be back on the field when the regular season starts on september 6th? >> i'll say this. carson wentz is doing extremely well in his rehab right now. this is obviously a situation that is above me. i am not a doctor. i don't profess to be a doctor. so this decision will be in the hands of our medical team going forward. >> whether we like it or not, politics has now played a role in football. two of your players last night at the game chose not to participate in the national anthem. how have you approached this debate with the team? >> you know, it's something i started my first year, and it's

obviously a subject that, you know, that can be -- i don't want it to be divisive or split our team in two. the thing is, is our team is very cohesive. we are a one, you know, sort of a one-mind team. and i understand that our players, they honor the flag and they honor the men and women of the military and the armed forces. sometimes with these players, you know, and guys like malcolm jenkins, who has been a tremendous leader of our football team not only on the field, but also off the field and what he has done in creating awareness to a lot of social injustices that plague our players. our players are not immunized to the things that are going on in debate with the league and the players association, and it's still their right to do that.

it hasn't been a situation that has divided our team whatsoever. >> you have a chapter on emotional intelligence. you talked about it here, but for individual players and the team how much noise does this debate and the constant keeping that debate going, how much noise does that put in the job you are trying to do, which is win football games? >> it can if you let it. for me it's about -- one of the things i've done and i started when i took over the job when i became head coach two years ago was i created a player council. i had the team vote on, you know, 11 or 12 men that they thought would be representative of this council. so i approach these guys all the time. i want their advice. i want to hear from them. it doesn't always have to be from doug pederson. we have a collaborative process in philadelphia with the players. and again i think that's why we, as a team, there is not been a lot of -- we are not in the media all the time because of issues like this. >> doug pederson, we know you

give us the tools and we can finish the job. single use tools help us escape from technology, there is no other distracting functionality. watch tells time. notebook for the to do list, and a pencil for writing. it's like the slow food movement, but for work. we know that writing by hand helps us retain information longer because it connects us with the process. the pages curl as we press words down onto them and those words don't go scaring off somewhere into a computer screen. when we pause to sharpen, it is the gentle interruption that is necessary for creativity and innovation, proof that pencils help us live deliberatery is henry david thoreaureated the landscape in america, to
