let's look at colt brennan throwing that tying touchdown. he drops back, two receivers to his left, the patriots double cover the slot receiver. one on one on the outside and nice little move by mitchell gets open. the throw by colt brennan ties the game up. >> jim: new england takes a time out stopping at 1:52. >> phil: i think new england is going to change quarterbacks, too once they get this football back. >> jim: pat chung handled the first punt of the night. green handled ever since. gets by mitchell, in to the redskins side of the field and chung with a player on his back takes it all the way down to the field goal range. lindy holmes was along for the ride. >> phil: that changes everything, of course for the offense in a situation like this. >> jim: that was 33-yard run back of 46-yard punt. andrew walter coming in at quarterback, the former raider. signed as a free agent. signed during training camp. >> phil: it's tough in coming in during training camp trying to pick up the system couldn't well. bill belichick, i think is a terrifi

brennan, a junior, was the child of irish immigrants. he won countless awards, starting in grade school and continuing through law school. he served on the new jersey supreme court prior to being nominated by president eisenhower to serve on the united states supreme court, where he used the same mahogany desk once used by justice brandeis. justice brennan had a leading hand in over 1100 opinions of this great court, including a lengthy list of landmark decisions. many of which he authored. he participated in over one quarter of the case is considered by this court in the last century. alluding to justice jackson's observation that the justices are aware that they are not infallible, justice brennan observed that one does not forget how much may depend on a decision. the course of vital social, economic, and political currents may be directed. that degree of modesty, coupled with an understanding of the awesome responsibilities of this court, may explain how an individual as gifted as justice brennan could work so very hard and bring suc

a grand jury indicted 36-year- old jennifer brennan yesterday. seray chin has more on the youth minister now on unpaid leave from the church. >> reporter: revealed disturbing allegations of one of lltheieiown. according to court documents. jennifer brennan is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old boy. this picture was posted on facebook, identifying her as a youth director. a grand jury indicted her on ten counts of indecent liberties and ten counts of contributing to a minor. if it weren't for the reverend, detectives may not have known about this case. >> i am mandated to report allegations of any improper conduct or anything that harms a child or youth. once we knew that there were allegations, we reported immediately to the sheriff's department and to the child protective services. >> reverend says brennan was well liked at the church. her neighbors meanwhile are in disbelief of the 20 count indictment against her. >> i am shocked to hear that anybody would say anything against her, because she seems to be very nice. >> the alleged inciden

brennan has 33 interceptions and has a rating of only 35%. >> some of the things he did in the game more outstanding. the touchdown pass was outstanding. the week before, chase had the same types of place. it is a mixed bag for both of them. >> it is a big situation if you are a starter and you're back up those down. it means a lot to fans. i'm not worrying about that and just putting myself on the field. you just want to put yourself on the field and have a good feeling about yourself. >> chase daniel. the vikings play houston tonight. he told announcers that he may have a cracked rib. an official diagnosis, but he is in pain and having trouble breathing. he will place an and will not wear a vest. tom bray says he is still sore from the game friday night. -- tom brady. he says his arm is still sore but expects to get some snaps in their last preseason game. >>> the michigan coach is the defending himself after concerns that he worked the team more than he said he was supposed to. >> to say that is misleading. it is inaccurate. it goes against everything that i have ever believed in. >>>

colt brennan was hurt. they called it an aggravated hamstring. that may be a factor because when daniel came back he through this touchdown pass. it was his fourth touchdown pass of the preseason. all teams have to down to 53 players saturday at 4:00. the eagles were in new york to play the jets, but before the game started that the eagles got good news, that michael vick will be able to play in the third game of the season. number 27 against kansas city. he got a mixed green in new york. he continued to increase his speed. he went 7-11, and the jets win it. tennis fans, let's go to new york for the u.s. open. murray a share a plot -- maria sharapova is still advancing. downto to the phone both, where the seattle win streak, the drive, and curry hits the three. the mystics when it. portis did not play, so a lot of guys sat out, not motivated. we will see what happens when the giants played them. it is going to be a lot like last year. before taking it on, one must study it first. rushing in unprepared may prove overwhelming... with all that juicy

when you are talking about cole brennan, he needs to play well. he played in all three preseason games. he has three interceptions and just one touchdown pass to show for it. the ultimate risk taker, colt won a legion of fans after his rookie year. his time in the burgundy and gold depends possibly on what he does tonight. and daniel, only action as a preseason, he was nearly flawless. poised in the pocket and passing for a pair of touchdowns. he also was a heisman trophy finalist at mist. daniel will be the first quarter off the bench in relief of jason campbell. >> you made some plays. a guy that excites you and that's good. they both have a long ways to go. they are both working extremely hard to g there. in terms of this game matters? absolutely. how they play this this game matters a great deal. >> i don't think of it like that. i guess for this organization, there is a lot riding on this game for me and colt, both. i'm going to study the defense and prepare just like i have for the past eight years. it doesn't matter what level it is. you've

i have asked the secretary to lead a new effort at the brennan of energy, focusing on implementing more aggressive efficiency standards for household appliances like refrigerators and ovens, which will spark innovation, mike consumers money, and reduce energy demand. today we are announcing additional action to promote energy efficiency across america. actions that will create jobs in the short run, save money and reduce dangerous emissions in the long run. the offer step we are taking, a new efficiency standard on florescence and incandescent lighting. i know light bulbs may not seem exciting. this simple action holds enormous promise, because 7% of all the energy consumed in america is used to light our homes and businesses. between 2012 and 2022, these new standards will save consumers up to $4 billion a year in and serve enough power to reduce emissions by 166 million cars a year, and eliminate the need for as many as faulty -- 14 coal fired plants. we will start here at the white house. the secretary has already started to take a look at our light bulbs and replace them. if we want

colt brennan is on injured reserve. chase daniel was released. the redskins enter the regular season with just jason campbell and backup todd collins on the active roster. antwaan randle el will be the emergency third-string quarterback. he played quarterback at indiana. shawn suisam won the kicker spot. last season he had the worst field goal percentage in the nfl. there were some surprises. they were local guys. edwin williams is a former terp. he makes the team because of his versatility on the offensive line. how about cornerback byron westbrook who played at dematha and division iii salisbury. he made the final 53 after two years on the skins' practice squad. marcus mason the georgetown prep grad makes the team as well. not a huge surprise. most of the talk, about the skins' decision to keep two quarterbacks on the roster. >> we just felt like we would put one on the practice squad and we needed to carry, basically, we put a tenth lineman on for that extra quarterback or you can say we put marcus mason on. there's 25 slots. and you have to g

brennan struggled, or case daniel who was terrific but only played one quarter. >> last preseason game it is doubly important to end everything on a good note. definitely i want to go out and do good. that is what you strive for at this level. >> the preseason starts and the guys that don't continue to rise up and really make a difference are the guys that you have to question. >> haines worth was absent, stomach issues. clinton portis is ruled out for thursday. rogers, his claim status for thursday is still in question. >>> baseball in the nats are in st. louis. the pitcher went 9 away. stras burg said it is going to be throwing a baseball again. meanwhile the nats' pitcher on the mound hit strong against the cards, 5 strike-outs. they only allowed two runs, but that was enough. bottom of the sixth tied at one, albert the rbi single cardinals would take a 2-1 lead. top of the ninth last changes for the nationals, flies out to center. that would end the game, nationals fall by 1 to 1. dodgers, minor league pitcher garcia and a player to be named later, the indians at the orioles bottom

colt brennan looking much better last night than in his previous three preseason games. in the fourth, it's marco mitchell looking good for a 15-yard pickup. colt, 10 of 14 for 83 yards. fourth quarter still. 24-10. redskins are down. chase daniel in to relieve brennan. keith ely. chase daniel 8 of 16 for 85 yards. this touchdown. who's he going to go to? how about the rookie out of nevada marco mitchell? third string quarterback battle up for grabs. jim zorn seems baffled by who the redskins are going to keep. >> yeah. i've got to really look at the video to makeeads or tails of the end result. chase had a nice drive. what a dve he put together at the end there. i mean colt did right at the end there, as well. that's going to be another heavily discusseded item on the docket. again, we are having this discussion probably a few hours too early. and rightly so. there's a lot of things i shouldn't say and i won't say. we all have to be in there and then we'll come to a con seven yus. >> all right. coach being vague about that third string quarterback job because he has to.

you are brennan? which one is which? >> but that's easy compared to the troubles laurie endured before the babies were born. >> they pulled me in and said listen, your kids are having an issue. >> she still remembers the worry after her doctor told her the triplets were in trouble. >> that's the blood vessel connection between the twins. >> it is a rare condition that occurs with identical twins and triplets where blood flow from each fetus to the next is restrict. >> one baby sends more baby to the other baby than it is getting back. >> if untreated it could cause serious heart and brain and death. damage. only chance was laser treatments. >> i was not happy about having to have surgery on high-risk triplets that were now at even higher risk. >> the doctor at the university of maryland medical center performed the complicated procedure. >> i only know of two other people that have actually lasered identical triplets. >> one is an increase chance of preterm labor and sure enough these babies were born early. >> i had thr

. >>> for more on this, let's turn to abc news consultant, christine brennan. thanks for joining us again. if anyone, you cover sports, if anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt in any situation, it's a guy who has built an empire on self-discipline and focus. so, is it naive to think there could be a reasonable explanation for this that doesn't involved the violent and mart tall spat? >> no, bill, i don't think it that's naive. i think that's certainly within the realm of responsibility. there's a logical explanation. everybody will believe it. tiger will move on and make more money. i don't think that this is a going to irreparably harm his image or his endorsement opportunities. you mentioned the self-discipline, such a polished image, a marketing and pr team, that's probably the best we have ever seen for a single athlete, bill. we haven't heard anything for 48 hours. that's the part that surprises me from the tiger woods' camp. >> but, at the same time, he's fiercely, fiercely private. one of the best stories to give credence to that, he named his yacht,

daniel threw three tz while brennan had a touchdown. remember this? competing for the number two spot. the competition is really between he and chase niel. he hasn't had the best number this camp. he was pick off saturday night. his second of the preseason. but coaches say they know his potential. he showed what he can do. now noon, chase daniel, the undrafted heisman trophy contender with missouri, a long shot to make the roster until he threw two touchdowns. scrambled like a champion. and now coach zorn that there is a bone fido over. >> the competition is for the number three spot. and chase is making a statement about that. that he is willing to compete at that level. >> that's how it is in the preseason. you only get so many shots to impress people. unfortunately, my two first glance haven't been the most productive. i two games to go and knowing what i've accomplished, how much better i am this year, i'm excite for the next two game. all it is is to get people excited, kind of prove yourself. >> he is ready to fight for his job friday night agai

two guys who will play for an extended period of time are colt brennan and chase daniel. on paper the redskins defense looks stacked. albert haynesworth, carlos rogers and deanglo hall are just some of the names that highlight that group. this preseason the skins defense has four take away two interceptions and two fumble recoveries but they'll look to increase that once the regular season gets underway. >> everybody is on the same page. everybody plays the same consistency week in and week out. i mean, the sky is the limit for us. that what we're very excited about. the coaches are excited. like i said, can't wait for the regular season to begin. >> two of -- to the college ranks. saturday the terps begin their season in california taking on the 12th ranked golden bears. last year cal came to college park and the terps quarterback chris turner and company pulled off the upset. this year the senior quarterback knows that winning on the road against a quality opponent is no easy task. >> cal is a great team. it's going to be a great competition. we need to bring our a game

this is the result of a poor preseason by colt brennan and one outstanding quarter. the starters aren't sugar coating this one. they started turning their attention to the new york giants and some will skip the formality of tonight's game all together. albert haines worth did not make the trip. sidelined because of a tom mac issue. carlos rogers ruled out earlier this week. we can add randy thomas to that list. for first stringers, the excitement of tonight is that the preseason is all but over. >> we aren't going to play very much. we play anywhere between 4 or 6 or 7 plays. the preparation for the whole game is really not there for us. but i think we did a lot of stuff and accomplished a lot. moving forward for new york. >> the reality of the season is starting to hit us. we are trying to get healthy and get ready for the giants. >> reporter: one quick note, rinaldo will start, although daniels will get in the game. we are live from jacksonville. >> sarah, thanks. renaldo went in, we will hear from sarah tonight at 11:00. meanwhile, michael vick has been doing and

and kathleen, janet, john brennan, arne duncan and our entire team have tried to engage in the most rigorous planning exercise to make sure that anything that may occur in the fall we're prepared for. and so i won't go through the details of this. i'm sure that kathleen and janet and others have laid out what the potential consequences are of a new outbreak of h1n1. we want to make sure that we are not promoting panic but we are promoting vigilance and preparation. and the most important thing for us to do in this process is to make sure that state and local officials prepare now to implement a vaccination program in the fall but also that they are working on an overall public communications campaign with the white house and the possibilities that we may need to be dealing with schools that are seeing significant outbreaks of h1n1. and we've looked at past cases of this being properly handled in situations like this being improperly handled. and one of the most important differences is where it's well-handled state and local officials have complete ownership over this issue. they are providi

brennan still has the upper hand. by saturday, 22 players will have to be cut. part of the job greg blotch doesn't enjoy either. >> for some guys this is their last chance. they will go on to selling insurance or working at wal- mart or do whatever the heck it is, use the degrees, whatever, teaching school. but it is the end of the rope for them. but for some guys it is the end of the dream. >> a group still going on at the kicking competition. battling dave rainer, completed 25-yard field goal. only attempt on friday from 52 yards out. last year his 26 for 36 ranked near the bottom of the league. today one six for seven, one better than rainer, and one kicker has to go. >> it is practice, i atrying to get ready for the season. i feel great. hit the ball well, i feel like. disappointed i missed the kick. the opportunity to kick the same kick today with the same, change that. so i feel good. >> i have been doing this for a little while so it is not like i'm out of college. but you know i'm going to go in with the same mind set, trying to make every kick. >> we ho

regular meetings here at the white house hosted the by senior white house officials including john brennan and others to continue planning for what the president and his administration talked about earlier this year, that what we saw building up and then that i did communities throughout the country and honestly affected countries throughout the world, hit in many ways at the back end of our own police susan. which in many ways probably likely give us a preview of its depth and severity of what we will face come the fall. we are taking steps working with state and local officials, working with communities, working with school districts to ensure that have the best information about what steps can any to be taken to get ready for what we know is coming. obviously many countries around the world we have seen a preview of the the tax, the taxing major this is going to provide in, the ability with which two this is going to test how the infrastructure. and i know the team is working through decision making in the development of antiviral our production for antiviral in the development for a va

wet and they're not brave coitions but the starters are going to get a good look and also tonight, brennan is going to get a good look. he said he's going to play a lot and is relaxed and hasn't been playing bad. the numbers haven't backed him up. he feels confident and good. not only about earning the third quarterback spot and eventually maybe earning the backup quarterback spot. we'll see what happens. live from fed ex field, i'm dave feldman. nkha, ou >> thank you, we'll be watching. now you have the news edge. news is always on www.myfoxdc.com. come on in. where getting a ne w vehicle is easy. because the price on the tag is e e u pay. y. you'll find low, straightforward pricing on remaining '08 and '09 models. including eight that offer an epa-estimated 30 milesloeral gn highway or better. ke lial this '09 malibu 1lt wih an epa estimated 33 mpg highway. get it now for around $21,500 after l offers. go to chevy.com/openhouse mofor re details.

i think the last cross party appointment was president eisenhower's william brennan, lewis powell was obligated because he was a southern democrat, still in the early 1970s. but presidents pick members of their own parties certainly for the supreme court. certainly by and large for what the constitution calls inferior federal judiciary. so how do you answer the letter, how do any of you answer the letter writer saying, look, what you believe this want to do is substitute an alternate form of politics for a transparent? >> that is so wrong because under a merit selection system, which i helped design for my home state of arizona, we set up a bipartisan commission of citizens to consider applications of people who want to be a judge. they let anybody apply. now those applications and those records are open to the public. everybody can find out who has applied and they can weigh in. the hearings when the interview these people are open to the public. and they ask that the person who wants to be considered filed forms and answered questions. that is also open to the public. and the commis
