Trey Lance trade scenarios: Why would 49ers move on with Purdy health uncertain?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:01 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Trading away Trey Lance seems like a preposterous idea for a team that just ran out of quarterbacks to dash last season’s Super Bowl bid.A week away from the NFL Draft, other teams are at least inquiring about Lance, according to an NFL Network report Wednesday morning.No trade is imminent and the 49ers are “fielding the calls, not making them, with teams aware that Brock Purdy is likely the future star,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport clarified in a Twitter thread.The 49ers just opened their offseason program Monday, with Lance, Purdy and newcomer Sam Darnold in their quarterback stable. Purdy is only 5 1/2 weeks removed from elbow surgery that will keep him sidelined into the summer.Lance figures to serve as QB1 when practices are allowed to start May 1, through the minicamp in mid-June, and likely into training camp, all while being challenged by Darnold, formerly of the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers.If Lance leaves, it’s Da...

Man who shot Denver boy in stolen car had been accused of impersonation, lying to police

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:01 GMT

The man who police say fatally shot a 12-year-old boy who was in his stolen car was previously arrested in Maryland after the emergency lights on his car drew police attention, according to records obtained by The Denver Post.The Maryland charges, which included impersonating a firefighter and making false statements to police, were dropped. No reason was given.Denver police records identify Jack Reed, 35, as the man who shot and killed 12-year-old Elias Armstrong on Feb. 5 while the boy was in Reed’s stolen car near downtown Denver. Police determined someone in the car fired shots during the confrontation, and said the boy was killed in an “exchange of gunfire.” Denver District Attorney Beth McCann declined to press criminal charges against Reed.Records obtained by the Post show Reed was frustrated by the tepid police response to his stolen vehicle that night, telling dispatchers he was armed and had to act because police would not.Earl Armstrong, Elias’ uncle, said of the shooting...

More Californians are losing their homes as foreclosures across the state and U.S. rise

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:01 GMT

By Amy Yee and Alex Tanzi | BloombergUS foreclosure filings jumped 22% in the first quarter compared to the same period a year ago, according to a report from real estate data analytics firm ATTOM.While still below pre-pandemic levels, foreclosure activity has increased on an annual basis for 23 straight months. The uptrend reflects higher jobless rates, ongoing economic challenges and backlogged foreclosures working through the pipeline after the lifting of government interventions to help struggling homeowners during the pandemic, said Rob Barber, chief executive officer of ATTOM.“However, with many homeowners still having significant home equity, that may help in keeping increased levels of foreclosure activity at bay,” Barber said in a statement.The number of foreclosure filings has been climbing since the federal moratorium ended in mid-2021. During the pandemic, an estimated 2 million homeowners fell behind on their mortgages.Major metropolitan cities with populations of more ...

Supreme Court lets Texas death row inmate pursue DNA lawsuit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:01 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that longtime Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed should have a chance to argue for testing of crime-scene evidence that he says will help clear him.The justices, in a 6-3 decision, sent Reed’s case back to a lower court for his constitutional challenge to the state’s law on DNA testing.The issue before the high court was whether Reed, sentenced to death nearly 25 years ago, waited too long to file his lawsuit claiming that untested crime-scene evidence would exonerate him. Texas courts and the federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled that he missed the deadline.But the Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, reversed the appellate ruling. Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented. “If there is a mitigating factor to today’s decision,” Thomas wrote, it’s that the outcome “is no barrier to the prompt execution of Reed’s lawful sentence.” Reed was sentenced to...

Penalties make early impact on several NHL playoff series

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:01 GMT

Throughout four unsuccessful power plays in their playoff opener at Edmonton, coach Todd McLellan told his Los Angeles Kings players to simplify their approach.Adrian Kempe doesn’t even remember what the specific lesson was late in the game, but it worked. Another Oilers penalty set the scene for Anze Kopitar’s 6-on-4 tying goal with 16.7 seconds left in regulation — and Edmonton’s seventh penalty of the game nine minutes into overtime paved the way for Kempe’s game-winner that gave Los Angeles a comeback victory and the lead in the first-round series.“We took far too many penalties,” said Evan Bouchard, who was called for high sticking late in the third period. “You give a team like that that many power plays, it’s going to bite you.”The Oilers weren’t the only team bitten by penalties on the first night of the NHL playoffs. After a regular season in which power-play goals accounted for just under 21% of the total, 40% of the offense in the first four ...
