49ers-Raiders practice: ‘Bang-bang’ defense takes out Davante Adams
Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 10:05:08 GMT
HENDERSON, Nev. — Davante Adams burst off the line and within seconds, Jimmy Garoppolo’s well-placed pass came his way, but so did 49ers defenders Oren Burks and Charvarius Ward.The collision result: Adams limped off with a lower leg injury, eventually heading on his own for the locker room.“Unfortunately Adams went down,” 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks said. “I thought it was a bang-bang play, definitely not intentional, and I hope he has a speedy recovery, because he’s one of the top players in the league.”Even if it’s “not crazy serious,” as Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said, endangering a top player is always feared in summertime football, and Adams, a Bay Area native, is their offense’s best weapon.But that’s not necessarily why the bulk of the 49ers’ starting players likely will sit out Sunday’s preseason opener against the Raiders. Another driving factor is the starters’ immense workload in...Sunnyvale-based dentist arrested after hidden camera is found in office bathroom

San Jose firefighters’ explanations for the events the night they took a bikini-clad woman from the Pink Poodle strip club on a joy ride in a city firetruck are simply not credible.Worse, the unsuccessful attempts by city officials and the City Council to hide the investigation of the debacle from the public suggest they are more interested in kowtowing to the politically powerful firefighters’ union than accountability to their constituents.As a result, they have sent a corrosive message to the city workforce and the residents of San Jose that lying is acceptable behavior for some of the most critical public employees in Northern California’s largest city.A Superior Court judge last month ordered city officials to turn over to this news organization a copy of the internal investigation report they had illegally withheld for months.The report, released Monday, shows that only the captain in charge of the firetruck team, William Tognozzi, was investigated for the inappropriate use of...Police: Sunnyvale dentist hid camera inside bathroom, recorded children

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Elon Musk dropped a hint Friday about where a proposed "cage fight" with Mark Zuckerberg might be staged, seemingly suggesting the Coliseum in Rome, or another ancient Roman location, could be the backdrop."Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all," said Musk in a thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

MUNICH (AP) — England captain Harry Kane’s transfer from Tottenham to Bayern Munich is “imminent,” Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said Friday, in a deal that will reportedly be worth more than 100 million pounds ($110 million).Kane arrived at a Munich hospital on Friday evening for medical tests as fans gathered outside the club’s headquarters.After spending 19 years at Tottenham without winning a trophy, a move to Bayern would allow Kane to fight for titles in the German league and in Europe.“My understanding is it has progressed to the point where it looks like it’s going to happen,” Postecoglou said of what would be a record transfer for the Bundesliga and one of the biggest deals of the summer transfer window.The 30-year-old Kane could potentially make his debut Saturday, when Bayern hosts Leipzig in the German Super Cup.“We are working with the highest pressure and highest focus and highest priority to sign Harry Kane,” Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said ea...Graham Rahal savors Indianapolis GP celebration after winning 1st IndyCar pole in six years
