shortfall. outgoing governor tim kaine will craft the first budget mcdonnell works under, a tradition he would like to see changed. >> that's one of the items the lieutenant governor and i had suggested early on is to change this budget cycle so that we don't have this disconnect between the new governor coming in and not being able to submit its own budget, i think that makes it difficult for any governor. >> reporter: and in the middle of his victory tuesday night mcdonnell said he did have one difficulty of his own, not having his deceased mother and ailing father able to see their

tom fitzgerald, back to you. >> why wasn't deeds able to repeat the road maps of previous democrats who were victorious in their races? >> it's one of the key points that the democratic forces will be looking at. if you look at the victories that mark warner put together eight years ago and the one that tim kaine put together four years ago, key in both of those were getting moderate republicans and independents in areas like loudoun county and prince william. that did not happen last night. 2-1 margin of independence went for bob mcdonnell. also, if you look at where those victories came from, it was spread throughout the state, so deeds not being able to hold on to the independents and not being able to draw moderates to his side was a critical key in what happened yesterday for the democratic losses. >> and virginia being a key state i'm sure the democrats will be analyzing this for some time to come. tom fitzgerald, thank you very much. republicans also claiming victory in new

those who are really superstitious are concerned about how the great yankee ghosts handled the transfer across the street to the w place over here. you think the old ghosts are still at the old place? >> absolutely. >> reporter: of most concern is nesting with the ghosts of babe ruth. after all the old stadium is called the house that ruth built. and when ruth was sold to the yankees from the red

mcnamara was flagged for pointing to the sky after a touchdown. a defender penalized after intercepting a pass. the latest incident happened last friday in a game between broad run and potomac falls. lindsay murphy joins us from ashburn with the details. >> reporter: last friday in the game broad run was hit with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties after every touchdown in the first half. many people, chest bumps and high fives are harmless but that is the issue at hand here, but this saga is just beginning. the bigger story involves senior running back t.j. peeler who verbally committed to play for pitt next year. ejected from t came following two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. one on the sidelines after he celebrated with teammates following a score. the other on this play, his only play in which he ran 65 yards for a touchdown and then pointed his arm in the air. yellow flag that. two unsportsmanlike penalties equals ejection according to the rules. >> he just -- he's one that everyone knows, everyone likes. getting in trouble for doing a simple chest bump with a teammate? it's not like he was trying to make fun of the other team or do anything personal. >> reporter: not only ejected for that game but possibly suspected for broad run's next game, november 20th in the virginia 2a region two semifinal. the rejection is being appealed and he may see this go away. it's under review as we speak. but the bigger question people are asking, what is unsportsmanlike conduct? what kind of celebrating is acceptable? >> guys like to celebrate after a good run or pass. i think that's fine but what the coach likes to express is how disciplined they are and how, you know, they shouldn't be running around, jumping around. >> whether on the classroom or field there's a learning experience to be had here. maybe an explanation would have helped during the game, things like that, called a couple of players over, said, i'll flag you if you do that again, that sort of thing of we're looking at all those factors. again, i'm sure they are very fair. they don't want to affect play down the road. they want good sportsmanship. i'm sure there will be a good decision. >> reporter: broad run coach mike burnett, t.j. peeler, neither available for comment because the appeal is still pending. what i do know, he's handling the situation very well. he also spoke with the coach dave wanstadt that says it won't affect his college igibility. >> what people are not talking about is the great season broad run is having. >> reporter: it's a bit overshadowed. they are defending state champs. hopefully that will come to the forefront once this gets settled tonight or tomorrow when the appeal is finally done and checked off. >> lindsay murphy live in ashburn, virginia. the ncaa also imposing a zero tolerance policy for the basketball season. the major flaw with the rule, much like the broad run video, officials will be left to their own discretion. you don't like this. you have a high school star who went to play in college. you said if anthony had scored a touchdown, celebrated, he would have been flagged. you can't point to the sky. >> even running across the field with a simple point. that just seems -- i mean, high school sports? give me a break. >> i can see where it can get out of control in professional sports, and it lasts too long but give me a break. >> there's a difference between celebrating and taunting. you shouldn't taunt an opponent. you shouldn't look down on him and flex or do something on top of him but if you scored an 80-yard touchdn, your first in the high school game, pointing to the sky or spike the ball or celebrate, you have to be able to let a 16-year-old kid, how are you going to curtail that? don't show any emotion. no emotions for teens? >> i don't like that rule. swine flu fears spreading to the pork industry. the u.s. department of agculture says pigs in a commercial herd tested positive for the

lay there for two hours, wouldn't move. now when i take him to the park we always go straight to the statue. i touch mattie's hand and i go for a walk around the park. he goes to the statue and just turns his head away. he will not look at it. which is a testament to how wonderful that statue is. and the love and memory mica has for his daddy. i want people to know this is not a story of my grief. this is not a story of mattie's death. this is a story of mattie's life which is incredible. and, it doesn't end with his death. it ends with his growing legacy. i want people to know they are

for sunday. i know you're in shock, but looks like we're going to have a dry weekend. first time in a month. >> love it. >> i know you love delivering that information. thank you very much. tmz tonight, david spade defending his direc tv commercial that has a scene with tommy boy's chris farley. harvey is with us. thank you for being with us. some people were criticizing spade for doing that ad saying he was profiting off his dead friend. what did spade tell you? >> we got him outside of bose steakhouse last night. he was serious about it and said look, if i wanted to make money off of chris farley, i would have written a book, done a lot of things and didn't. he said it's a situation where it was honoring tommy boy. he felt it was appropriate. then right after he said that chris farley's brother came out, because david spade is good friends with him. they have dinner every week and said, look, this is appropriate. and was solidly behind what spade had done. i got to tell you, on this one, i don't think there's any doubt dade spaifd was right, what he did was honorable and nothing he did he needs to apologize for. >> is there anything more he has to say about this? is this it? >> i think it's probably over. i mean, i can't imagine this is ging to -- this has the kind of legs a hollywood scandal has. he didn't do anything wrong. i think people were trying to invent a story that really doesn't exist but david spade is right, he could have written a lot of things about chris farley around the time of his death that could have -- the other thing is spade doesn't need it. spade has had hit television shows, movies. he just doesn't need this. >> at least he spoke out and said something to you. harvey, we'll look for you at 6:30 on fox 5, tmz on tv. here's a look at
