crazy story of the night. could a past romance influence how a woman's children look. you'll have to follow the bouncing ball on this one little bit. scientists at the university of new south wales studied fruit flys and say they've discovered sperm from a female fly's previous mate influenced genetic traits in her future children. yes. really weird but researcher this molecules in the sperm could be absorbed by mom's immatur emma . they need to figure out if the theory holds true for humans. i think it's time for sports. what do you think? >> let's follow the bouncing ball. >> you're talk bowing flys mating and fly sperm? >> it's a late show. >> from that we good to chip kelly. another one of those days with the media. when he has a problem with the question he's right there to let you know about it. the phillies have one change at the top and the ownership looks like that will be changing next coming up in sports.

♪ >> phillies as we know completed another dismal season. third straight missing the playoffs and changes will happen ownership looks like that's one of them. on august 28th the phillies announced that president and ceo david montgomery was taking a leave of absence while he went through treatment for cancer in his jawbone. but sources told me that montgomery was pushed out as the head guy. i'm also told that there's a move to have a new owner of the phillies. john middleton is one of the limited partners of the phillies but has been buying more of a percentage of the team from the other partners over the years. i'm told he now owns 48% of the phillies. the way the limited partnership was set up, no partner can own a majority without unanimous approval of the other partners. now with the deaths many many of the original partners the

families are willing to share their shares. he needs unanimous approval of the other partners. montgomery made the final decision on every part of the organization. montgomery's decision helped make the phillies the second oldest team in baseball. it was montgomery who made the decisions to sign jimmy rollins, ryan had you ward, chase utley and carlos rye uz. david money is a really loyal guy. that put the phillies in this spot. loyalty is a great trait sometimes but not in sports. john middleton sold cigar company for $2.9 billion in 2007 has been the most aggressive of limited partners and will continue to be when he finally gains majority control. i'm toll it's almost a accept ryan howard will not be back next season and phillies will be paying to pay all of his 62 million he's owed in trade. if they trade him and sources also tell me that pat gillick and ruben amaro will look at trading cole hamels to get much needed young players. chicago cubs and boston red sox want hamels very badly.

>> all right. going to be a rough ride with the rebuilding of this team. but this should have been done two years ago. but these decisions need to be made. eventually getting the phillies back to being a winning team. all right. watching out for those baltimore orioles to baltimore. baseball, g playoffs tonight. watch how aggressive they are. man on second. eighth inning against detroit. the runner homes from second on the error. eight run in the eighth and they win it, 12 to three. >> eagles need a win sunday against st. louis and chip kelly wants good questions at this news conferences. check it out t today. >> how much of your playbook would you say you practice heading into a game. >> 44-point 6%. >> i never really thought of it that way. >> sarcastic answer because i never thought of it that way like how much of our playbook overall generally just what are we doing to prepare for them. you don't have an opportunity to practice -- how many third calls can you get. how many third down reps can you get in practice? you know, you

can't have 47, third down calls. you're not going oh get 47, third down reps in pack toy. obviously you won't get a chance to practice it. >> i guess you're pot going to have that many calls at practice you don't have that many calls in the game. >> i have question for you. >> sure. >> you're the this news conference of chip kelly's. somebody asks question like that. he does that to them. do they sling down little bit. >> i'll say this reporter comes back for more every time. (laughter). >> he never learn his lesson. >> he still goes on forever with his questions. gets those kind of answers. >> do it all season i guess. >> watch tmz at 11:00. we're back here at 4:00 a.m. for the fox 29 morning news and "good day philadelphia". be sure to stay tuned. >> i will.
