Wentz, Eagles top Browns
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz started off his NFL career a winner as Philly (1-0) topped the Browns by a 29-10 score at home on Sunday afternoon. Wentz deserves a great deal of credit for directing five scoring drives as a rookie against a Browns defense that tried everything to apply pressure. In addition to Wentz (and other offensive successes such as Jordan Matthews and Zach Ertz), the defense played a solid all around game.
In Other News Clinton aides spent Saturday cleaning up her remark that "half" of Trump's supporters were "deplorables," meaning racists, sexists and homophobes. The remark, for which she later expressed "regret," suddenly united a Republican Party that has struggled to get behind its divisive nominee. It came at just the wrong time for the 68-year-old Clinton, as Trump closes in the polls and pressure builds ahead of the first presidential debate in two weeks -- an event shaping up to be a potentially pivotal moment of the campaign. Hillary Clinton continued to look more vulnerable on Sunday at hot and muggy Ground Zero as damaging video of Clinton lurching into the arms of her security detail was captured, dramatically turning the state of her health into a genuine campaign issue. The episode also exacerbates questions about transparency that have long dogged Clinton's White House bid after the campaign revealed the Democratic nominee is suffering from pneumonia -- a fact it kept quiet since Friday. Hillary Clinton holds a 46% to 41% lead over Donald Trump among likely voters -- with Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson at 9% and the Green Party's Jill Stein at 2% -- according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. A plane carrying three people crashed at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport Sunday evening, killing all on board. The piper Cherokee plane, which seats three, took off at the airport when it experienced an unknown issue causing it to crash into cars parked at the airport's parking lot. No one on the ground was injured.
