cannot get abused out there and they continue to be a positive position for us sadly the most interesting part of last night's game a surprise appearance from the squirrel, yep, this is kind of what the phillies season has been hiking downhill just like the season, the squirrel going down startling chase utley in the dug out. the squirrel keeps showing up at phils/cardinals game. they have no deal with the squirrel. eagles reporting to training camp six weeks from today but that doesn't mean it is summer vacation. right now mark sanchez says when they return they need to pick upright where they left off. they cannot afford to go backward. there is no question there is a learning curve, a big time learning curve that off aziz on work outs with nine new starters on defense eagles are trying to fix their issues. stopping the passing game. even though new corner byron maxwell believes they can get to the super bowl they still have a lot of work to do. >> technique.

technique is one of the things we have to get better at. knowing the defense is better. we have to know the defense a lot better. we have to know coverages we play we have to know them like the back of our hand. we just got to know them. ron hextall believes flyers need to hit it big at nhl draft next friday and saturday but don't expect the gm to trade the seventh overall pick unless the team he says, throws something stupid at them. flyers pick seventh and 29th in the first round. hextall may add another member to the front office, flyers general manager will meet with newly retired stanley cup champion kimmo timonen to offer him a job if he wants it. forty year-old came back from blood clots and won the cup in chicago after the flyers traded him in february. hextall is in awe of the former flyer. >> you know i was sitting thereafter the game thinking, you know what, they should make a movie, like seriously here's, don't forget this little guy that could not play in the league years ago. we all forget about that.

and to see him have the career that he had. >> i really admire kimmo. i could not be happier. i think probably all you guys know, in the delaware valley and finland and everybody else is happy for this guy because he is a consummate pro and i guess in the end he got what he deserved. deserved to win a stanley cup. >> nice statement from hextall. third round of the u.s. open, no tiger on the course after he have missed the cut. phil mickelson having no picnic either. mickelson is nine over par and tied for 66th place. jordan spieth is tied for the lead. alex rodriguez big hit could be worth big bucks that is why the fan who caught a rod's 3,000th career hit is not giving it to the yankees star. he caught the home run ball last night and plans to hold on to it, at least for now. he is still deciding what he could do. this could be like winning the lottery. a rod's 500 home run ball sold

for hundred thousand dollars at auction. like it or not whether it is luck or not he claims to have caught more than 8,000 balls in his lifetime, and he has written books about it about how to catch major league baseball's, consciously. >> it is a job. >> it is a job. >> maybe a lottery ticket. >> thanks, jeff. coming up next on "action news" meteorologist melissa magee has the exclusive accu weather seven day forecast, when "action news" comes right back. star gaze dream big wander more care less beat sunrise chase sunset do it all. on us. get your first month's payment plus five years wear and tear coverage. make the most of summer... with volvo.
