i loved it. >> you love what? >> bradshaw's statement. the quaerback. he said -- after however many ars in philadelphia, don't let his last year now be tarnished by somebody telling him he is not intelligent enough to play. >> this was the guy that was booed on draft day. i have a feeling he'll be okay. >> here's what shanahan had to sawhen he was asked, if he wanted to clarify the situation. >> i'm not going into that detail. i think we've gone down that road enough. to keep going dn and swerve. a little different direction will be going different ways. i don't want to do that again. like i said, it is a tough decision. you have to make those decisions that give you the best chance to win. not always very popular. as i swhard the team, sometimes you don't make the right decisions. you make a decision based on your gut feeling during the week. like in practice, how a gameis going. >> or anybody else. we're all competitors. any time happens, you know, it gets under anybody's skin. noatter how professional you try to be, it will bother you. whatever happe. >> they're hoping to get a win for donavan against the eagles. at least the redskins aren't in as bad shape as the cowboys. things have gotten so bad that jerry jones did something he swore up and down he would not do. he fired head coach wade phillips today. e first time he fired a head coach miseason since he took over ownership in 1989. jones felt that h had no recourse after the cowboys' embarrassing loss last night to th packers. we're in green bay. wade phillips must have felt hot from the hot seat. the quarterback aaron rodgers made things so tough. later, 14-0, rodgers. he threw three touchdowns on the night. ensuing kickoff, brian mccann rerns i bush wraps him up. mccann's knee is down and the ball comes out. when that happens, nick llins is able to gra the ball and h returns it for a touchdown. the cowboys can't challenge it because they're in a time-out. the packe win 45-7. wade phillips out of a jofbl jones admitted h could have mid the choice earlier. >> there was a lot of me in denial. for at least the last couple ballgames. where we are right now is that we've got to be ale to do what is the biggest challenge. everybody does in the nfl. that is, get a defense that can slow them down. so i think all of that came to bear with the reason i'm sitting here today with the coaching change. >> i think wadehillips should thank jerry jones that he lasted as long as he did. he was given the extension last year. jerry jones did not want to ve to make this decision and that's whit took so long. >> he could have done it on air time. >> moving to another team, a local team that is struggling right now. th wizards. i went down to the wizards practice. i saw something i have never seen. the wizards head coach flip saunders reached his boili pot. it was very odd. with ten minutes left at practice, he got mad enough at his players' lack of practice, he kicked them out. he walk off the court after telling them to tee back for another previously unscheduled practice at 4:00. the players were shocked. saunders had given the team a day f yesterday but was not getting the effort he wanted from his guys on the court. he told them to go home. the players said it was sparked, they believe, because there was bunch of complaining and it turned the practice into a dge of talking. and as the frustration mounts on this 1-4 season, among the rookie led team, they got the message. flip saunders decided he had had enough. >> you hope to come with a sense of urgency. i was excited about coming here. i got here at 7:00 a.m. getting ready for practice and everything else. we didn't come with that same urgency as a team. and so we're not going to beg guys to play hard. they don't want to play hard, come back. we'll get other people that do want to play hard. >>eople are frustrated. you know? i don't have a problem with it. two a day. training camp in november. cool by me. we need it. we're losing so that's what happens when you're losing. you have extra time and tha's all you're doing. >> they got the teammates. josh howard said he told his teammates that you get a paycheck on e 15th right now. none of us have earned a paycheck. we're playing for nothing. so trying get the rookies ready to go. the capitals are a team you should have confidence in. now they have confidence in themselves. last night the caps' defenseman mike green scored the game winner in overtime. the capitals though, 21-year-old rookie goaltender is known for this. they worked for the caps. there he is getting the starter michal neuvirth the day off. second period, the game was tied 1-1. philly working the offense. takes shot on net. a lone flyer in front of the go. gets deflected in. this is one of his quirks. he sprays his water bottle. then takes a sip. more on at. caps on the power play. al he can ovechkin shoots. backstrom gets it. alexander scored four straight games. check out this helmet. seize the day. he made clutch saves. he finished with 23 total. here's another one. he puts his water bottle to himself with the stick. he does it at the he said of each period. the game goes to of overtime. the capitals on the power play. it was mike green who gets the puck. he shoots, he scores. the game is oh. green also scored in four straight goal game. the capitals defeat the flyers 3-2 in overtime. and in nascar news, denny hamlin takes over the lead bases beat a whole slew of others. it was great drama. >> thank you. coming up, an independent panel is "access hollywood." up next, "accessollywood." ♪ ♪ [ dad ] yeah!
