Much as if it were a man male this is one of the jobs where they have to pay you the same. But there are so many examples where that doesnt happen. Im going to do everything i can to make sure every woman in every job gets paid the same as the men who are doing that job. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. So when the story emerged that the eagles were trading up to number two to get a new quarterback from north dakota state wouldnt they have anticipated that sam bradford might have some difficult reactions to all of that . Almost makes you wonder if thats why they paid chase daniel as much as they did. Maybe they knew this was going to happen a long time ago. Theory from jaime apody. Its always something. Remember last week when sam bradford said all those reports about the eagles wanting to trade up to draft a franchise quarterback those dont bother me. So much for that. According to espn bradford is angry. Has asked for a trade plus hell not be showing up for the rest of the off season program. Sure enough he was not there today for the birds voluntary workout. Eagles gave him a guaranteed 22 Million Contract a couple months ago so he may any other be so easy to trade. Espn analyst ron jaworski has to say about all of this. Rye really dont understand sams feelings right now. Ive been around this game since 1973. And the eagles have made it clear hes the starting quarterback. Hes the starting quarterback. What are you afraid of . Go out and fight. Compete. Its your job. Dont let anyone take that job away and apparently just the fear of losing that job to a carson wentz scares him. Thats troubling to me. Jaws says all reports are correct, carson wentz is the guy the eagles traded up to get. Wentz didnt play division one football. Not to mention he only started 23 games in college. But jaws says thats not important. Its not where you played. Its how you play. Thats the bottom line. Carson wentz can flat out play. I went out to fargo for his pro day and you watch this kid throw the football it explodes out of his hand. The football side when i looked at all his tape i loved. This guy ran a pro system, a winning program. And the quarterback world turns. More drama in new england where deflategate is blowing up again. Today tom brady had a his suspension reinstated by a federal Appeals Court meaning hell miss the first four games of the season. Or will he . Brady is reportedly not ready to accept this new ruling is that exploring other legal options. So basically this may never end. With the way they played this regular season it felt like the warriors had a one way ticket straight to the nba finals but now theyll be without superstar steph curry for two weeks after he sprained a ligament in his knee. Golden state has a three games to one series on houston. Curry will miss the rest of round one and four games of round two if they add van. The flyers did not advance butter they gave it their all. Yesterday their stanley cup hopes ended with a onenothing loss to the capitals in game six. Hard to be too upset. It was quite obvious the caps were the better team. We didnt win obviously were not were satisfied but were not satisfied. We know we can be better and i think this will be a learning experience for our group in here. Were going to be building offer of this for next year and were going to come back bigger stronger faster and better. Maybe able to score more goals thats what they were missing. All right jamie thank you. All right. A group of students got a soccer lesson this afternoon from some of the pros. 100 students from philadelphias our lady of Calvary School stopped by Talen Energy Stadium in closed for a soccer clinic with members of the philadelphia union.

Democrat josh shapiro an attorney general. For us trying to make me eat my greens . Low. No, just trying to save you some green. Whaaat . thousands of blue tags. Thousands of low prices. My giant. So, did i hear was going to be 80 degrees tomorrow. 83. 83. And more humid and could get stormy in the evening. So, july and august type weather. Its like summer storms a little ahead of schedule. Storm tracker6 live double scan showing this evening all is quiet, though we could have some high thin clouds today but the action cam in Fairmount Park taking a look at the white dogwood in bloom and we have a lot of our spring plants really blooming now. Part of the reason why, its just been so warm. The last nine days every single day temperatures 70 degrees or above so the past nine days were averaging more than five and half degrees above normal and havent had much rain in philadelphia. Rainfall only about a tenth of an inch but tomorrow afternoon could get some showers and thunderstorms. The key time 1 oclock in the afternoon and 7 oclock in the evening. Theyll be scattered. Doesnt mean everyone will see them but could have gusty winds even the potential for hail. And this is a cold front so behind that system cooler air will be moving in in the middle of the week but today its very warm. 76 degrees in philadelphia. Thats 9 degrees above normal. Allentown and trenton 73. Reading and wilmington 74. And once again, along the beaches its a lot cooler with the winds off the ocean, cape may only 60 and the boardwalk in Atlantic City only 58 degrees. We have some clouds but theyre high and thin so were getting a lot of filtered sunshine with High Pressure still maintaining control of our weather but at the same time low pressure near minneapolis and this is the system that will be sliding in tomorrow. It will bring us warmer air and the threat of storms. Future tracker showing first we get a warm front moving through. So we could have a few showers after midnight, mainly north of philadelphia with warm invection. Then as we head into the Morning Hours those storms should lift north across the poconos. Look at these temperature. A warm start to the day. Philadelphia 60. Allentown 55. Wilmington 62 degrees at 7 oclock in the morning with some sunshine and then getting into the afternoon, 82 degrees at 2 30 and this is when well start to see a few showers popping up with the instability but the main line, this broken line of scattered showers and thunderstorms moving through the i95 corridor around 5 oclock so in time for the evening commute pressing across south jersey by 7 30 and then moving off the coast by 8 30 so if youre heading to the polls in pennsylvania or delaware, you definitely do want to take the umbrella or raincoat. In the meantime really the focus of the Severe Weather tomorrow is going to be across the plains. This could be a really bad day. Were looking at a moderate risk of severe storms in wichita Oklahoma City wind hail and the threat of large tornadoes could be a big problem across the plains tomorrow. So, back at home the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, its going to be warm tomorrow, 83 degrees, most of the day rain free but showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and then on wednesday, transition day. We brighten to the north. The clouds hang on south of philadelphia. Its cooler, 67 degrees but its much cooler and its wet on thursday. Another low pressure moves through. 59 degrees. On friday transition day. Well try to dry gradually 63 degrees but timing is everything and it looks like weve got a beautiful weekend. Plenty of sunshine, great weather for the union game on saturday. 69 degrees. The broad street run sunday morning looks good. Sunshine, temperatures in the 50s to start. Up to 70 by the afternoon with increasing clouds and next monday some showers and thunderstorms with a high of 67. Ill have an update on the threat of storms on action news at 11 00. In fact, cecily, a group of West Philadelphia students spent this afternoon getting ready for the broad street run.
