3:01 am

3:02 am
the eagles need to say, we want to make this more friendly if you take less money this career, we'll give you more back end and guarantee you more down the road. you're not going to cut his pay. what you may do is move things around >> shuffle it so that this career you got more to work with >> i think he definitely has the leverage and the situation.
3:03 am
wouldn't you say >> sure he does. >> we had him going out the door and all of a sudden he was their best line man. wayne johnson help out a little bit with the situation but jason peters still the most reliable. >> jason peters is i think the 9th or 10th highest paid tackling football, so you can't say he's overpaid. >> he definitely did the job last year. speaking of that offensive line man, let's keep it there. we talked about cuts. jason kelce to be back >> i think there's a good chance they let him go. he got better but he makes as lot of money as a veteran. you had a couple kids last year, the rookies come in to play pretty well on that line. vy tied played well. you got a future there. the flip side is you got the young quarterbacks you want to protect them as much as you can. bottom line, better than 50-50 kelce is gone. >> let's go to connor barwin >> gone. he wants to stay and he said he'll take a pay cut and he's a
3:04 am
great guy. >> great community guy >> he does not fit the defense >> not anymore. what about michael kendricks? interesting situation >> he won't be backing i think they will trade him if they can get anything. they will get a middle round disappointing draft pick but he's another guy who he fell so much last year, he's playing 12, 14 play as game. you don't need to play him >> one of the things they related to in the off season, the wide receiver receiver situation needs to be addressed. it's going to be on the draft or free agency. they've been linked to jennifer, stills, jackson, garcson, what's best way to address it >> you didn't say desean. i think alshon jennifers is a good fit. i a like kenny stills had his his first good season and that's what you need. you did need receivers and
3:05 am
runners. but they had no deep threat last year, and that's what you'll get with both those guys >> desean jackson said yes, i want the stay in dc. i don't like the way they talked about me when i left philly. are you picking up what he's putting down? >> i think he's got pint. there was character assassination when he left. i don't know who was the -- was the cause of that. but it happened. he was one step away from getting arrested: to stay in washington? if they give him the most money >> would you take him back >> not my first choice >> before him, i would take stills before him, he's not in my top three, four >> you mentioned kenny stills, he would be on his third team. so he started in new orleans. >> fair point.
3:06 am
>> and the other guy i like is brit from the rams who i think is a young rising player. jeffries is one, brit two. >> make a move in the draft >> i take probably a corner back or maybe a running back. >> maybe a run back >> i know people don't like to take a running back in the first round >> if you're a great player, guess what? i want you on my team. i don't care what position. even if it's seemingly expendable. let's talk about the ice. flyers yikes they're having issues. they got a w but the team can't score. is there an answer on the roster >> to some degree in the way the coach coaches. here's how i look at this. their defense was really poor earlier this year. he moved the system changed it so that it's much more conscious
3:07 am
anxious on defense. they lien toward defense. forward stay back. and you can score but if you have one guy who can beat the entire other team and score. would you like that to be giroux, who's having a really bad -- >> claude giroux this year, 12 balls through 2/3. he's on a pace for 18 goals. >> 18 >> >> yes, jacob vorachek, 14 goals, on pace for 21, he's a minus 50. gostisbehere. a leap talent >> ok. what else you got in that pocket of tricks? you mentioned gostisbehere. interesting scenario. he's 23. they really had kind of vested time in him but the coach sits him for three games.
3:08 am
my question is would they have been better off with maybe punish him with less playing time or not playing at all >> i'd bench him one game. clearly didn't help the team clearly they got shut out. he's not having the year that they want him to have. he's down from last year, other teams figured out what he does. it's incumbent on him. you do something well, they figure it out. he hasn't done that, i think the coach is being way too harsh on him as opposed to some other players who equally or more so deserve that >> because normally when you bench a guy, at game or two. three games seems to be excessive when you want a guy to learn and be part of the future >> i didn't like it at all. i don't like it. to me, i built his confidence as opposed to kick him in the pants. >> here's the question. right outside that wild card
3:09 am
position. >> i think they're eight, nine. >> if you're heck stall, do you make a move here? >> i'd sell. >> you'd sell >> i don't buy, i sell. they're not going anywhere. the 39-year-old defense man is the first guy would you move and get something for him. and i would not be adverse to trading mason, steve mason. i know a lot of people hate that idea. he's a free agent after this year. i don't think he's any better than neuvirth. >> not consistent enough for me. >> i would be -- not more than, i would be willing to move him in the right deal. >> that's we're just moving down the line here. let's talk baseball. your favorite. phillies pitchers and catchers. lesley van arsdale going to be there bringing you live reports on cbs3 starting monday at 5:00. what are you most excited about? >> the kids everybody is excited about the kids. >> they have half dozen guys
3:10 am
just ready to make that move this year. we may not see them in april but i think we'll see them june, july, i was i think the phillies roster in september is going to be dramatically different from the one in april an lot better. >> are we going to see crawford >> by the end of the year. >> roman quinn >> he was excellent last september. >> if he can stay healthy. he's fast, he can feel, he's got surprising power, he's the center to fielder of the future. >> that's my number one guy, i love this kid, he's a. catcher with power, and a gun. i think this kid, if he can figure out the strike, he's like ten strike-outs, if he can figure out the strike zone this kid can be an all star >> do you know who the longest tenured philly is at this point? >> wow >> remember when we went into spring training last year, we're talking ryan howard, chooch
3:11 am
>> i'm going to give you a hint in the infield >> galvisa? >> freddy galvis is the currently the longest tenure in philly >> i may not last long >> with the kid coming up. >> does this team have a chance to be 500 this year >> outside, i'd give them 76, 78 wins. underneath that, if they -- to me, if nola and healthy. >> tommy john and i hope not, trying to work him through this thing, if it doesn't happen, it's tommy john. >> go phils >> and for you and i >> for you and i, go be you. and also, for you in particular, the brew company i heard is doing pretty well.

(male #1) it's a little something i've done every night since i was a kid, empty my pocket change into this old jar. it's never much, just what's left after i break a dollar. and i never thought i could get quality life insurance with my spare change. neither did i. until i saw a commercial for the colonial penn program. imagine people our age getting life insurance at such an affordable rate. it's true. if you're 50 to 85, you can get guaranteed acceptance life insurance through the colonial penn program for less than 35 cents a day, just $9.95 a month. there's no medical exam and no health questions. you know, the average cost of a funeral is over $8,300. now that's a big burden to leave your loved ones. as long as you're 50 to 85, you cannot be turned down because of your health. your premium never goes up and your benefit never goes down due to age.

3:29 am
so if you just turn on a switch and it lights up, that's a simple circuit like a christmas tree or a flashlight. but ours is monitoring the breathing of the user and storing that in a microprocessor. so in a sense the dress is a computer in itself. >> reporter: the result, lights on the dress can change colors with the rhythm of a heart beat. so at future cocktail parties, you can tell if somebody is anxious by the color of their dress. >> well, maybe. that's one of the things people discovered about wearable technology, it suddenly redrews some of the boundaries of privacy information. >> reporter: the technology is being developed for cars and computers to medical equipment. these first steps are just the beginning. jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, london. that's the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm elaine quijano.

a team of archaeologists and adventurers went to central america seeking the lost city of the monkey god. it was supposed to be cursed, protected by venomous snakes and horrible diseases. they found the city, the snakes and the curse. lee cowan has the story. >> reporter: the cast's best selling author doug preston will say he doesn't believe in curses. and yet, here he is, being treated for an illness he contracted while on a jungle expedition. to a site rumored for centuries to rain misfortune down on anyone who entered. >> i would never trade that experience for anything. it was so powerful. >> reporter: his tale begins in the rainforests, carpeting some
3:41 am
20,000 square miles of honduras and nicaragua. >> the legend is there was a great city in the mountains struck by a series of catastrophes, and the inhabitants thought the gods were angry and left, leaving their belongings behind. >> reporter: some call it the white city. others, the city of the monkey god. its possible existence has tantalized adventure seekers since the 1500s. including steve elkins who has been obsessed with finding the city since the early '90s. >> who doesn't like a story with mystery in it? so let's go and see what happens. >> they might come back from today with the other sites. >> reporter: he launched his latest expedition in 2012 and invited doug preston to write about it. so you went along because why? >> i thought steve is never going to find a lost city, that's ridiculous. but who knows? even if he doesn't find anything, it might make a good story.
3:42 am
>> reporter: but this time, elkins had something no previous expeditions to the area did. it's called lidar, a high tech laser mapping system. peering through a hole in the bottom of an old cessna sky master, it can scan hundreds of square miles of dense jungle in a matter of days. the problem? it was expensive. >> this one shows the full scale of the convoy. >> reporter: enter bill benson, who agreed to foot the $1 million bill, if he could capture the adventure on film. >> this technology could see the jungle -- through the jungle canopy and reveal the contours of what might be underneath it. it seemed like a valuable gamble. >> reporter: one that soon paid off. what the lidar revealed once
3:43 am
that jungle canopy was removed shocked everyone. >> i zoomed in and i went, holy crap. i said this is what looks like rectangular structures. >> i mean, that is about as linear lines, and that's a right angle. >> they were either man made or the world's most intelligent gophers were out there doing things they had never done before. >> reporter: so what did you think you had found initially? >> i knew we found a city. an ancient city. that i knew. but what it was beyond that, that was up for the archaeologists to figure out. >> reporter: that archaeologist was colorado state's chris fisher. >> it sounds like it's a pretty big deal. >> i think it is. is it like machu picchu? no. but for this area, regionally, i think it's very, very important. >> reporter: he helped artists come up with this rendering of what the city might have looked like.
3:44 am
>> here you see the interior of the plaza. >> reporter: but he had to get there on foot to know for sure. >> there's a stairway that goes here. >> reporter: and it took three long years of planning. >> just to get into this jungle is extremely dangerous. once you're there, it's thick, thick with poisonous snakes. >> reporter: the deadliest, a pit viper called the fair delance. docile enough during the day. but when one slithered into camp under the cover of darkness, it caused an understandable panic. on the team, a jungle warfare expert, who leapt into action. >> he pinned the snake, but the snake exploded into a fury, of striking everywhere, squirting venom, streams of venom across the night air. >> reporter: the next morning, the jungle seemed a little less ominous. and the march to the site began. it was like cutting your way through a shag carpet.
3:45 am
what wasn't growing was oozing with mud. >> let's go on top of this one and work our way back down. >> reporter: the jungle was so thick, all they could see were leaves, even standing right in front of what chris fisher thought was a pyramid. >> that's a pyramid right there in front of you. >> where is the pyramid? >> you're looking at it. >> a big lump. >> can't say i see a whole lot from here. >> that's what it is. that's a pyramid. it's made out of earth. >> reporter: there were no stone structures to speak of, just foundations. but the next day, almost by accident, disappointment turned to jubilation. >> did you see this? there are inscriptions right here. >> there are? >> yes. >> oh, my god. >> someone said, hey, wait a minute, there's some weird stones over here. we all came back and the first
3:46 am
thing i saw was a jaguar head coming out of the ground, carved in stone, snarling. >> whoa, whoa, everybody stop, back up, don't touch anything. don't clear anything, please. >> reporter: there at their feet was a trove of artifacts believed to date from the 16th century. the personal belongings of inhabitants who fled the valley as one theory would have it, in an attempt to escape european disease and slavery. >> it was phenomenal to think that in the 21st century, you could still find something like this on the surface of the earth. >> reporter: some in the academic community, however, are not so easily impressed. >> we don't go out looking for treasure anymore, we go out looking for knowledge. >> reporter: rosemary joyce, professor of anthropology at uc berkeley, says an exhibition led by filmmakers wreaks more of indiana jones than it does real science. and some 20 other archaeologists agreed.
3:47 am
>> anybody can make an adventure story, we have no problem with that. but it's being portrayed as arknoloar archaeolo archaeology, and it's not. >> reporter: some indigenous people bristled when the honduran president removed the first artifact. they consider the site sacred and should be left alone. so in the end, what this expedition unearthed was a lot more than just relics. it became a stew of excitement, questions, criticism, and ill health. >> maybe you'll end up in a hospital like this. >> reporter: months after leaving the jungle, doug preston noticed a bite from a sand fly that wouldn't heal. so did chris fisher. the national institutes of health diagnosed it as a frightening parasitic disease. >> the parasite migrates through the mucus membranes of your mouth and nose and basically eats them away.
3:48 am
your nose and lips fall off, and eventually your face becomes a gigantic open sore. >> reporter: over the next few months, about half the expedition came down with the early symptoms and had to undergo the painful treatment. >> that's a good helicopter shot of the overview. >> reporter: steve and bill were spared, and their documentary about their adventure is now in the final edit. doug preston, bucking the criticism, titled his book "the lost city of the monkey god." as for the site, only a fraction has been excavated and questions linger how or if to go back again. >> too dangerous to stay there. it's just too dangerous. just getting in and out is dangerous. >> reporter: it would seem the jungle is still fighting to keep its secrets. and almost impenetrable veil making an accounting of what's there difficult at best. that, in the end, may be the most lasting curse of all.

>> hi, sasha. >> hello. >> reporter: we spoke with sasha via skype during the first leg of her expedition in the russian tundra. >> did it ever occur to carry out this research on foot or a car? >> it's not possible. the only people up there are reindeer breeders who use sleds and reindeer. >> reporter: and it's those reindeer breeders with fishermen and farmers she's come this way to meet, to speak with and share the story of the swan's decline. >> they want to know, so i'm able to tell them all the data where we know the swans are declining and they're really interested in that. >> reporter: at 35 miles an hour, sasha can fly just as fast as her feathered subjects. but at that rate, the trip will take three months. when the birds rest, so does she, often staying with locals along the way. >> i have to sleep on reindeer skins and i woke up and i don't know if it was a reaction, but i
