6:30 pm
marin county through the waldo tunnel. in recent days the commute out of the city has been the ugly one. people have been reported backups all the way to van ness, in fact yesterday at 7:30 when i left, there was traffic on lombard backed up to van ness and across the tunnel or across the bridge into the tunnel. back in april we told you how bridge management had decided to stick with a three lanes north, three lanes south setup during the commute? the lanes, of course, can be reconfigured to allow more traffic to flow in one direction depending on the circumstances. and as you see tonight, the circumstance is that, well, they have more lanes for traffic going north into marin out of san francisco but the backup has reversed itself. so the question that some of you may have, why have we seen these significant backups in the city anyway for the past week or so? we asked a bridge spokeswoman. >> for quite a while, we have been at three lanes north and three lanes south. now we are trying to give a
6:31 pm
fourth lane to the northbound whenever we can if the volume can accommodate it on the south side. the south side traffic back is up through the waldo tunnel, the north side traffic is backing up to van ness. so it's really a balancing act. and it's a no-win situation. with the doyle drive construction, people are going slower with the signal timing on lombard and van ness, it's -- you know, it's a whole combination of factors that leads to congestion to get on the bridge. the bridge is like the funnel and you can only pour so much traffic and get it through in the time it goes through according to physics so the bridge can handling the capacity. once you're on the bridge you're moving. it's just get together bridge that takes the time. >> well, traffic is moving better northbound tonight because there are four lanes going that way but i can tell you last night at 7:30, it was 3-3 and they were putting a fourth northbound lane in at 7:30 last night. but this is tonight. curry does point to another factor we should mention, the

this will not help the nba's help the nba's argument that teams are losing money..... the state warriors, this won't help the nba's argument that teams are lose money. the golden gate en state warriors were sold for the most money of any nba franchise in history. perhaps the bigger surprise larry ellison didn't buy the team. chris cohan sold it for $450 million. the previous mark was 400
6:51 pm
million-dollar for the suns. ellison was the odds on favorite to bit team but the oracle ceo said he made the biggest offer but cohan sold to someone else. joining us now from europe i know is joe, pretty early in the morning there but what's it like to finally own the team their children root for? >> well, we don't own it yet. we have just obviously had a binding transaction. and we'll be closing it over the next 60 days or so. but we're very, very excited. my family and i are great facts. the reaction is unbelievable. >> how quickly can you turn this team into winners? i know you're leaving the powerhouse celtics. that has to be difficult. >> oh, yeah. i do have a certain allegiance to the celtics, certainly, they were my team as a kid growing up. and it's been great being part
6:52 pm
of the celtics the last five years or so. certainly we turned that team around and they won a championship and i have a ring and i'll always remember that. the organization is great. i left hand a lot from it, though -- i learned a lot from it, though, and the warriors are an amazing opportunity my moment time. we need to do better on the court and we are going to do our best to do that. >> how soon before you will have full control of the team? >> well, it's a process that we have to go through. we have to get nba approval and obviously finish a lot of documents. the lawyers are going to be very busy. and we don't really not amount of time it's going to be exactly. it could be more or less 60 to 90 days. we are going to plug on through and get it done and then get to work. >> this is really one of the best kept secrets. were you in on the process the whole time, or did your team jump in late? >> no. we were there the entire time right from the beginning i think -- i think if you talk to
6:53 pm
chris or the bankers that were involved, we were there entire time. we did our diligence. we were very thorough. i think both peter guber my partner and i have a lot of experience in sports. and i in particular with the celtics and you know we knew what we were looking and, we knew what we were doing, we stuck to our guns. we knew what we were willing to pay. there were a lot of big players in it. so clearly we certainly had no great, you know, expectation that we were necessarily going to win it. but we thought we could win it. and i guess good things happen to those who persist. >> no doubt. were you a little nervous when ellison came in with the bigger bid at the end? >> i don't really know what he did at the end. and it's not really my concern. you know, he -- i have heard various things, that he -- what he said today. i don't know if that's true or not. it doesn't really matter. we're incredibly excited to have the team and to be involved with the team in the bay area that we intend to make
6:54 pm
a championship team and play the celtics in the finals. >> you rarely saw cohan at any of the games. do you plan on being the face of the organization? will we see you courtside? >> oh, definitely. you know, i'm a season ticketholder. i go to about half the games anyway or have in the past. and certainly i expect to go to a lot of games if not most. and i think the organization does need a face. chris has been a guy -- wanted to remain low profile. i think i probably had a little bit bigger profile maybe not mark cuban but a little bit bigger. >> did the team ask you for approval before they acquired david lee? >> we were informed of it, yes. >> so what do you think of the team as it stands right now and how soon will you begin your evaluation process? >> we're working on that. obviously i'm a fan just like everybody else and i have views
6:55 pm
on everything that's been going on. we will continue to do our homework and get ready for the transition for when we take over. and hopefully, we will make an impact very soon. >> all right. joe, thanks so much for take the time from europe, get some rest, congratulations and we look forward to seeing you back here in the bay area very soon. >> well, thank you very much. switching gears now to golf and st. andrews known as the birthplace of golf, today it was treated like a demolition derby! or as tom watson said, the old lady had no clothes today. most golfers took advantage of the calm conditions early. tiger woods with a round of 67. one of the early leaders, john daly, it wasn't the pants that caught everyone's attention. it was his game. long john fired a 66, of course he won the british open here in 1995. phil mickelson has yet to win the open championship. if he does this week, he takes over the number one world ranking. his approach on 12 goes by the
6:56 pm
flag. only one birdie for mickelson today. the story was northern ireland's rory mcilroy. the 21-year-old showed no mercy tying a major championship record with a 9-under par 63. he leads by two shots. we see juliette over there fist pumping! lee westwood is at 5 under. graeme mcdowell eight shots back. julie bragging rights with rory mcilroy. roberta the only one with a pick that shot over par but there is a lot of golf to be played. vallejo dantrell willis reese released by the diamondbacks has signed a minor league contracts with the giants. the former rookie of the year is just 2-3 this year. stage 10 of the tour de france mark renshaw in whitehead butts a rider allowing the teammate to pass him on the outside and take the stage victory. renshaw was find $192. that's it. and kicked out of the race. andy schleck is the over all
6:57 pm
leader. >> wow. >> and that's really amazing that he joined us from europe. how exciting for him! >> maybe the warriors can revive the we believe, you know, slogan again. >> absolutely. sounds like he really wants to bring a champion here to the bay area and i like the fact that he says they are going to play the celtics. >> yes. >> absolutely. >> that's where his allegiance is. >> let's give rory a call and root him on, as well. >> wake him up. he is going to begin his round in about eight hours. >> he is young. he doesn't sleep much, does he? only 21? >> i want to see more of that tour de france because usually you only see things like that happen in the water in triathlons. you don't see cyclists hitting each other. >> i'm going to take juliette to vegas. >> wait until sunday. >> all right. >> have a good one. thanks to chopper 5 for these great pictures. see you at 10:00 and 11:00. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
