defense. this guy calling card, eagles 34 34-3. >> who was more impressive >> you got to understand that i'm bias, defensive line that's my dogs. when you play on the defensive line, you got to be willing to hit somebody in the mouth. if you're not willing to hit somebody in the mouth you're not going to be a great defensive line. that's part of playing the game. today, they was hitting people in the mouth. that's crucial. now, however, the runningbacks played very well. and i was particularly impressed by all of them actually, but darin sproles in the open field is a problem. you understand what i mean? when i say a problem? a problem. when he gets -- i know this from first hand experience. it's like trying to hit a leave
3:06 am
out of the wind. this guy is so i allusive and quick and he doesn't look any slower than the times i was playing against him in new orleans. what a great player he is. kind of -- in space player is what he is. you give him a space. he will hurt you. he will be a problem. >> we saw that early on because he had the 40 yard catch in the first half of the game. 32 yards receiving yards coming into the game the entire season. this is massive day for darin sproles >> and the two other young guys, barner. he played well. we know he's got potential. he's a good player. barners can be the guy. then you got smallwood. smallwood, who is a big runningback. he's a good player. those honestly are probably the two most true runningbacks that we have on the team. i mean, don't get me wrong, ryan matthews is a good player. those guys i think fit the system well. and darin sproles.
3:07 am
this offense is about short getting player, getting skilled players in open fields so they can make plays for you. who else better to have an open field than that problem i'm telling you about. >> coming into this game, we were concerned about antonio brown. universally he's accepted as the best wide receiver in the league. phenomenonal. >> another problem. >> they were able to contain him to a certain degree. he still almost gotten catches. he didn't score touchdowns. they covered for jay lynn mills when they had to >> they did. coming into the season, if you asked me what the weaknesss of themes was, the secondary, to me, probably ranked up there as one of the top places i would have gone to. now, again, who knows, they won't play as well the rest of the season. thus far, to hold antonio brown to no touchdowns, that's a big deal. again, he's a problem >> malcomb jenkins was amazing.
3:08 am
>> he was everywhere. he's like my ball ricky. every time i see him, i can't stop thinking about. he's really good and makes lots of plays. he staggered to antonio brown's side a lot. he was over the top of a lot of coverage on antonio brown. he helped keep antonio brown in check. >> jim schwartz, they showed right there when the game was in -- i don't want to say it was in question. it was fourth down, steelers were going for it, they were denied and he's just like, all types of things were coming out of his mouth that we can't pronounce we can't say on the show. you played for guys like that. what is it like when you have a defensive coordinator. who brings that energy >> it's hard. he had me excited. i was ready to go put on a uniform. he was so -- he was -- but i mean, you can tell he's passionate about the game.
3:09 am
he wants to grind it, hit people in the mouth. that's at the attitude we haven't had here in awhile. chip kelly did not bring to this team. this defense now reminds me a little bit of the way a defense once was in our day. >> they seem to love playing for him. making him happy. >> jhe wants to get after peopl. defensive guys are typically your more athletic guys that have heart. they're willing to hit somebody in the mouth. i know i'm bias. but defensive players -- listen, you can't just run fast and jump high. you got to get a play. our old coach told me don't look like tar z an and play like jane. >> let me ask you. how crazy did you play for the eagles. you know the fan base. how crazy is it going to be going into the next 14 days?
3:10 am
through the roof? >> in this town, if i were -- if i were giving advice i would say go home, get away from it. get away from it. you're going to here people up there hype about what you done, excited, and get away from it. go to your hometown, go to your college town. watch the game. get away from philadelphia. let us sit here celebrate all of you. enjoy yourself. get home cooking. it's a different world when it's mama's cooking >> when we saw the schedule, when we saw this early, we were disappointed. it's almost too early to have one. as a player, you get a week off this early. does it mess with your rhythm, your flow? this team is clear until the zone early on. >> i think there's pluses and minuses. because it's early, the guys are at their freshest and in the
3:11 am
best shape they will be for the whole season right now. it's a good time from that standpoint. however, for me as a player, i prefer when it was midway because everybody hits the wall at some point. especially rookies. even the veterans. you hit the wall about week 12. a lot of guys hit a wall and it's tough. your body is hurting. you need that time. you need that extra time off to heal and be ready for the coming weeks. >> if there's anything you learned from that segment, darin walker as a defensive player, athletic, good looking and he will knock people out. >> that's what i do. >> good to have you. >> good to be here >> can't wait till next week. >> that's right. really the week after that. >> that's right. >> that is if you have me back. >> you're coming back. >> we're taking break. when we come back, what a day for the phillies. are you serious? they give up two touchdowns and a field goal.
3:14 am
we lost one of golf's all time greats, arnold palmer passed away at the age of 87. palmer was a pop culture phenomenonal when he burst on to the scene. the world stage really in the 1950's. man known as the king had his own fan following him around, arnie's army that followed him around the course. palmer as a member of the big three is credited with making golf popular along with jack nicholas in the 1960's. he's a seven-time major champion, had he 62 overall wins on the pga tour, 95 overall including international. he died due to complications of heart problems at the age of 87. tragic story the day broke early in the morning, baseball community was rocked by the death of 24-year-old marlin's jose fernandez
3:15 am
>> he was killed in a boating accident in miami. the boat hit a jetty and he, along with two others in the boat were killed. fernandez was a part of this year's cyyoung conversation, 16 and eight, 2-8-6 era. well on his way to being one of the greatest pitchers. he escaped from cuba in a young age and played baseball with an energy and enthusiasm that had the sports world excited every time he took the mound. his manager was overwhelmed by the loss. >> this joy with him when he played. when he pitched, i think that's what the guys will say too. as bad as he would make you with
3:16 am
3:19 am
quarterback mckevin missed second game. same can be said for zach ertz missing his second straight game with a displaced rib. ryan mathews got injured in this game. we can presume he left during the game to carry today something clearly wrong. we're waiting. you see the questions mark. that says it all. >> big question. >> we may waste little time showing you the phillies. it didn't end well. they lost 17-0. that is not a typo. it is the real deal. it was the worse loss by the phillies team, by the way, since they lost 22-3 to the reds in 99. it was that bad to give up two touchdowns and a field goal to the mets. mets playing better than the jets today. you get the point. >> that wasn't good. mche will roy had himself a round, he holds out for eagles.
3:20 am
that would move him into second place. on 18, check him out. he's in the bunker. leave the shot just a few feet away. he set up a three-way tie at 12 under par. on the first playoff hole, guess who? mche will roy again. he wins the tournament 1.5 million, wins the fedex cup for the tour championship and a 10 million dollar pay day. >> 10 million dollar? >> pretty good. >> my man. >> it's that time, here now is the paifpa top three on 3. ♪

3:27 am

3:28 am
eye i said -- >> and look who's coming up. >> and here he comes, hobbling. >> he is gone! in a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened. >> reporter: it was the way he guided listeners through each game that won over generations of baseball fans. for at least nine innings his words transported them from their homes and cars into the dugout or onto the pitcher's mound. for the past 67 years, from brooklyn to los angeles. >> go dodgers. >> reporter: this weekend fans filed into dodger stadium to honor him. angel rodriguez is a walking tribute. >> he's like family. there's nobody here that has not listened to vin. >> reporter: on vin scully appreciation day it was actually vin that was pitching out this gift. 50,000 letters went out to baseball fans thanking them for six decades of love and listening. dennis murphy drove five hours
3:29 am
from san francisco to share this moment with his daughter. what is it about him that makes him the best? >> you know, i think it's just the way he brings the game to life. the experience of the game of baseball. and just the calm nature of his voice. >> reporter: in one week scully will call his final game in san francisco. but this afternoon he signed off one last time from dodger stadium. >> leave it to the dodgers. charlie culverson a game-winning home run. >> reporter: baseball is described as a boy's game played by men. if that holds true, then vin scully will be forever young. his voice echoing through history for millions of fans to come. mireya villareal, cbs news, dodger stadium. >> and that's the overnight news for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others check back with us in just a short time for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york, i'm reena ninan.
3:30 am
>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm reena ninan. for months now hillary clinton and donald trump have engaged in a sort of political shadow boxing, throwing jabs at each other on the stump, in commercials and even on twitter. well, tonight the bell rings for real with the first presidential debate of this election season. the verbal slugfest comes as the race tightens. the latest "washington post"/abc news poll has clinton and trump just about tied, with 46% for clinton and 44% for trump. a new cbs poll shows clinton holding her lead in virginia and colorado. those are two key battleground states. our poll shows trump leading in missouri, a state which has voted republican in recent presidential elections. some analysts believe tonight's
3:31 am
debate could be one of the most watched television events ever. jan crawford has more. >> reporter: getting ready for a presidential debate, it usually involves hours just locked inside a hotel conference room where they're running through every possible scenario. so we set up our own makeshift debate prep headquarters to talk to two political strategists about how it all works and what both candidates need to do to win. >> so they say she's been practicing for the debate. some people think she's sleeping. >> reporter: trump had a full schedule this week, traveling to the battleground states of north carolina, ohio, and pennsylvania instead of prepping for the debate. >> how's the debate prep going right now? >> well, i'm here at geno's. >> reporter: clinton on the other hand has been holed up with her top advisers preparing for what her campaign believes will be the single most consequential event leading up to election day. >> of all the big moments in a campaign this is the only one where the american people are
3:32 am
judging both candidates side by side and next to each other. so it's less about scoring points and more about what kind of impression you leave. >> reporter: democratic strategist michael feldman helped run al gore's 2000 presidential campaign. we sat down with him and republican strategist dan senor, who helped romney prepare for his 2012 debate against president obama to find out what goes into winning. >> the best debaters, i have found, the best performers are the ones who say i'm not going to win or lose this debate on this detail or that detail, it's the general impression i make. >> reporter: of the two candidates trump is more difficult to predict. and unlike his opponent he's never gone head to head with just one other candidate, a physically exhausting task. >> it's a very physical experience. >> 90 minutes. one on one with -- >> no breaks, no distractions, no ads. >> standing up. >> it's exhausting. >> reporter: these strategists predict that monday's debate could change the contours of the 2016 race. with over 60% of voters expressing concern about trump's temperament, expectations are high.
3:33 am
>> it is the super bowl of american politics. >> and if it were hillary clinton against jeb bush, or hillary clinton against marco rubio or whomever, sure, it would be the first debate would be a big deal. but hillary clinton against donald trump, it's a show of epic proportions. >> and maybe unlike anything we've ever seen. >> yes. >> reporter: now, already this year's debate is unprecedented. this is the first presidential debate ever between a man and a woman. >> cbs news will have primetime coverage of the presidential debate beginning at 9:00 p.m. eastern. john dickerson discussed the event with the vice presidential candidates tim kaine and mike pence for "face the nation." >> some of hillary clinton's supporters say there is a different standard for hillary clinton. what is that different standard in the debate? >> well, i'm not sure -- i'm hoping there isn't a different standard in the debate, john. i think there's been some worry that maybe up to now there's been different standards applied. but that's the great thing about the debate. i think there's three critical points. first, the candidates get grilled on specifics.
3:34 am
hillary has been very specific about policy plans. we have a book out describing them. donald trump less so. but tomorrow is an opportunity to see whether donald will be specific about what he proposes to do. second, unanswered questions. the voters have questions. donald trump hasn't released his tax returns. news of this past week shows a whole series of very serious questions about donald trump's ties to russia. and finally, there's been news recently about very questionable, even illegal payments by the trump foundation. i think these unanswered questions are going to be on voters' minds. and then finally there's the issue of truthfulness. politifact has been tracking donald trump's claims on the campaign trail. thus far about 70% of the things they checked turn out to be false. so that's an interesting point about the debate tomorrow night too. in a 90-minute format, not 20-second sound bites, there's a real opportunity to hear somebody say something and then get into is that actually true or not?
3:35 am
so i think the debate issue, obviously let it be an even standard for both. but that issue about specifics, answering those unanswered questions, and checking people on truthfulness, that's going to be very important. >> i noticed the campaign put out a list already of 18 or so questions of -- or falsehoods about donald trump they put out. that's about donald trump. but hillary clinton, everything she says in the campaign, that will be in the debate, everything she says will be truthful? >> i think that's fair game. it's fair game for both candidates to be challenged either on things that they said or things that they say tomorrow night. and again, i think the great virtue of these debates is you get 90 minutes to look at people and really see whether there's depth, whether there's substance, and whether there's candor and truthfulness in what they say. >> any advice you've given hillary clinton before the debate? >> we've talked a little about the debates, both of our
3:36 am
debates, but more in the area of kind of tone and style and how to effectively make your positive case even while parrying what the other guy throws at you. >> governor, most candidates would be hitting the books. donald trump has been out campaigning almost just like regular. so how has he been preparing for the debates? >> i think donald trump has been preparing for this debate for his entire lifetime. he's built a great business. he's traveled the country. and particularly in this campaign, john. as you saw last night in roanoke, virginia donald trump has been out among the american people. i think he's given voice to the frustrations and aspirations of the american people like no american leader in my lifetime since ronald reagan. and i think all of that is going to combine and come together. and i'm looking forward to seeing this good man, my running mate, step on that stage and present his message to make america great again to the american people. >> and he suggests the moderators shouldn't fact check in the debates. why shouldn't they?
3:37 am
>> well, i think we all had the experience a few years ago of mitt romney being interrupted and being challenged on an assertion that he made. i believe it was about the tragedy in benghazi. and it turned out the moderator was wrong. i think the important thing is that the american people hear from these two candidates. the choice in this campaign could not be more clear. in donald trump we have a leader who literally embodies the american spirit, who wants to change the direction of this country through rebuilding our military, less taxes, less regulation, repealing obamacare, standing by our constitution. and hillary clinton literally offers a third obama term, more of the same, more taxes, more regulation, more obamacare, more of the war on energy and more of the policies that have weakened america's place in the world. we need to hear from these two candidates and i hope and trust that the moderators will just facilitate that. >> and governor, donald trump has said recently "i will always tell you the truth." do you expect that everything he
3:38 am
says in the debate on monday night will be truthful? >> i think donald trump always speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart. unlikeso babies can sleeppampers stasoundly all night.s drier, pampers. that cough doesn't sound so good. well i think you sound great. move over. easy booger man. take mucinex dm. it'll take care of your cough. fine! i'll text you in 4 hours when your cough returns.

3:41 am
>> reporter: charles osgood says he wants us to take a closer look. >> let's see if he's there. >> you rang? >> and maybe in some cases to be angry or amused or sort of shake your head about this crazy world. and by the way, it is a crazy world. >> reporter: which helps explain how an economics major at fordham university in the bronx -- >> were the call letters the same when you were here? >> yes, they were. >> reporter: ended up at the campus radio station. >> i spent more time here than i did in classrooms or doing homework. >> reporter: he started as a classical music dj in washington, d.c. but at some point you moved to become a news reporter. what was the inspiration for that? >> there was a job that was available, and i knew how to get it. >> his first big-time news job was at abc. >> good morning. this is charles osgood, news radio 88.

3:43 am
there's nothing that can't be improved by making it shorter and better. >> reporter: when the idea of television was presented to you, was that exciting for you or foreboding? >> it scared me to death. it just about scared me to death. >> good evening. time's running out to get the hostage crisis -- >> reporter: in fact, he says the first time he anchored a broadcast he got some constructive criticism from the legendary mike wallace. >> he said you looked like you had gone into the room to empty the waste basket and you looked up and you saw walter cronkite's chair. and so you said oh and you went and sat in his chair and you said to yourself i hope nobody catches me doing this, i hope nobody's watching. >> reporter: but soon he realized -- >> good evening, i'm charles osgood. >> reporter: -- he just needed to be himself on camera. >> it takes two to tango but more than two to make for any kind of peace in the middle east. >> it's important that the audience be comfortable and they won't be if you're not comfortable.
3:44 am
>> reporter: in 1994 charles osgood took over "sunday morning" from the venerable charles kuralt. >> good morning. i'm charles osgood, and this is "sunday morning." i know it sounds strange to me too, but here we are. >> reporter: you've got to know that the audience came to not just accept you but to really be very fond of you. what was that like as you started to realize that? >> i think if you you do something every week and if you fill up their homes, then they get to know you. they're not even surprised when you knock on the door and say may i come in. ♪ ♪ we have actors and artists ♪ not just politicians ♪ >> reporter: in the 22 years since, charles osgood has taken us to cuba, explored the american architectural landmarks, even served up thanksgiving dinner. ♪ sunday mornings are filled with such things ♪
