So when we get more, we will bring it to you. 11 days and counting before the big showdown between the eagles and the patriots. But if you can remember all the way back to 2005, this upcoming game is more than a super bowl. More like a rematch. Super bowl 39 between patriots and eagles was a close game. But 13 years later eagles fans still crimple remembering the devastating blow. Our bruce gordon has the story. Reporter if you look clos closely beneath those heavy winter coats you can almost see the chip on the shoulders eagles fans. 13 years after the birds almost had them lost to the new england patriots. I remember them being in the super bowl. I was in high school. Reporter you remember how they played . Bad. The throw up bowl. I think there was definitely some spy gate going on. This is a chance for redemption. Reporter new england entered that super bowl as defending League Champions still in the early days of what would become a grid iron dynasty. Football historian ray didinger remembers the game well. The patriots were favored. They were favored by seven points. And they were considered the best team in football by many people, um, but the eagles were right there with them. Reporter largely because of the play and their talented but temporary mental wide receiver Terrell Owens who limited into the game on badly injured right ankle to record nine caps for 122 yards. He played magnificently i mean you could make a case even low the eagles lost the game he should have been the mvp. Reporter by the Fourth Quarter tom brady, yeah, hes still around Hillary Clinton given the pats a tenpoint cushion. Then with less than six minutes to go, the birds mounted the most frustrating touchdown drive ever. Don nan mcnabb let the birds on 13 play 79yard scoring drive that pulled the eagles win three points but the drive seemed to take forever. Where is the sense of urgency because you need two scores. This isnt like one score gets you even with them. You need two scores. Reporter philly ran out of time and new england won 2421. A story line later developed that a nervous mcnabb threw up in the huddle during that last scoring drive. Didinger then with nfl nams films watched the game from almost every conceivable angle. So i saw everything that happened. And i never saw any evidence of him throwing up. I didnt the. Reporter later the patriots would be caught video taping opposing coaches on side lines presumably stealing plays. Did spy gate cost philly that super bowl . Probably not. I can understand how eagles fans would say oh, we got cheated, and, you know, thats really our trophy but they stole it from us. Reporter theres an old saying revenge is a dish best served cold. 13 years later, eagles rematch victory would be tasty indeed. Grab a knife and fork. Im bruce gordon, fox 29 news. It will be on ice in minnesota. Caught on camera unbelievable crash at the end of a highspeed chase like a scene out of a movie a driver in an suv speeding down an arizona street then crashed head on into a car remarkablely no one died and no one has lifethreatening injuries. Tonight police have a 31yearold man with a criminal history under arrest. Foxs steve craft reports. This is where dps officers took Mitchell Timothy table into custody. The end of a chase that depth dps says started when they tried to pull table over for what they described as a moving violation. Table sideswiped a white suv, the driver was not hurt and then smashed head on into a black suv driven by a 47yearold woman. That woman suffered non light threatening injuries. Table skidded for another block and a half and suffered only minor injuries. Officers arrested him there. Dps says table has been in trouble with the law for years. Dps says we are aware he holds Anti Government views. What we do know is our suspect does have an extensive criminal history both violent felony convictions and misdemeanor convictions in several states. Reporter convictions in new york and florida. While he was attempting to flee from dps, mitchell table actually called the fox ten newsroom and spoke to a assignment editor kristen good friend. There was a man on the other phone saying he didnt do anything and he wanted people to stop chasing him. Then he said that there was a conspiracy against him. So the strange twist dont stop with that call to our sister station in arizona. After that chase, the driver actuallily got out of his car and tried to blend in with group of people who werent having any of it. They straight away pointed to him when the cops arrived, the cops arrested him. Happening right now the search for a pair of would be shoplifters who pepper sprayed a macys security guard. Police in West Whiteland township say the guard saw two men put merchandise into a shopping bag at the exton square mall. Then walk out without paying. She confronted them and thats when they whipped out the pepper spray and shot it at her. Then dropped the bag and took off. Inside that bag police say 900 worth of stuff. That macys officer is okay. Parents say it could be the only way to save their childs life. Hoping they get arrested. But just not sent to jail. You heard that right. Say its not so. Elton john on his last tour.

Hes performed more than 4,000 times in 80 countries. My very first concert elton john the rock and roll hall of fame up ducted him in 1984. I guess have i to get myself some tickets. Tough question facing pennsylvania officials. What to do with people who break the law because theyre addicted to drugs . State senator James Brewster hyped a bill that would zen sentence addicts to treatment instead of jail. Our bill anteriornd son is asking will it work . The answer he got is a surprising one. As the issue of addiction continues to grow the stories we hear about families, fighting to overcome it are so common theyre sad honestly no longer shocking. So many phone calls ive gotten from parents saying could you help me get my son arrested because thats the only way i feel comfortable that he wont overdose. Aft years of crys for help, he proposed a bill that would allow judges to sentence addicts to a year in in patient rehab for petty crimes like theft. Seems pretty logical to me if you want to get folks away from addiction, you wouldnt put them into a facility where theyre with people who actually sell that product. Reporter heres the problem. A lot of times when people come up with these solutions, they never ask the people who are directly impact the. So we did. 50 some years ive been getting high finally got tired. Addicted forward over 36 years. I had 24 years. I went back out. Now i got maybe like two, three months coming up. Reporter at the last stop in kensington, they deal with addiction every day from their own team in recovery to user that is just need a meal an mace to crash. There were some who said sentenced rehab just doesnt work. Sentenced by judges. They go because they have to go. They want it they can get it if they dont want it theyre not going to get it. Reporter after hearing constantly that you cant force recovery, i was shocked at how many people actually supported the idea. Chemicals leave. Its all process thought process comes back. Little voice connected to god starts speaking to you. Call the rescue because a lot of these guys need to be rescued and i praise whoever came up with that idea. Reporter rick ford himself in longterm recovery also agreed when the consequences are so high, people may need to be protected from themselves. Youre not arresting them youre probably rescuing people. Theyre a host of folks that would refer to go to jail because they cant figure out what they suffer from. Reporter if being arrested meant mandatory rehab and not incarceration thats how they living now. I think some people would say, please lock me up. Reporter the debate will continue but for now, the belief is that sentencing people to rehab may just help for goodness sake. Im bill anderson. A mom and daughter survived Hurricane Maria then came to philly so the sixyearold could get a new liver. Saved her life. But now theyre about to become homeless. All right, kathy, its a good thing a lot of us love roller coasters because weve been on one for while now. Weve been up and down, weve been kicked around on the screen tonight a little bit of white.

I was most impressed and astounded by the level of training. I mean, they the training that they have to go through is really extraordinary. When a call comes in theres no other guy. Whatever it is. However severe it is, however easy it is, theres no one else they can call to say listen i dont want to do this one. The kind of toll that takes and these guys run towards what everybody else runs away from. Umhmm. 911 airs on fox wednesday nights at 9 00 p. M.
