49ers camp preview: Which backups are in play for offensive line jobs?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:29 GMT

SANTA CLARA – One-on-one combat between Trent Williams and Nick Bosa is typically the marquee attraction among linemen drills at 49ers training camp.This camp’s undercard is worth following, however. Williams’ fellow offensive linemen, after all, must be able to ensure the ever-precarious health of the 49ers’ quarterbacks.At right tackle, Colton McKivitz enters as the already appointed successor to Mike McGlinchey, who left in free agency for Denver (after a five-year term featuring great praise for run blocking and heaping criticism for pass-protection lapses).On the interior, guards Aaron Banks and Spencer Burford will flank center Jake Brendel for a second straight year, which bodes well for their chemistry.So, since the starters are all set, time to look elsewhere, right? Not so fast.Assuming all five first-string linemen – Williams, Banks, Brendel, Burford, McKivitz – make it through a season as 17-game starters is a stretch. Reserves must be schooled up to maintain the consist...

Warriors’ Kerr shares thoughts on Dunleavy’s first offseason, Chris Paul and personal goals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:29 GMT

Steve Kerr doesn’t have much time to rest.He has just a few days with family in Southern California before training begins for Team USA Basketball when August begins. The Warriors’ head coach will reprise his role leading the national team for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, with warm-up games in Las Vegas, Spain and the United Arab Emirates before next month’s tournament in the Philippines.But Kerr paused for a few minutes this week to debrief the Warriors’ busy offseason so far.On Dunleavy’s offseason movesKerr noted that he had been in constant communication with Mike Dunleavy Jr. when it became apparent former general manager Bob Myers was likely to leave his post once his contract ran out and Dunleavy was his likely successor. They got on the same page throughout the season about how the roster needed to change to keep the championship contention window open.“It’s seamless, really, given that he’s been here the last five years,” Ke...

Opinion: California foster youth suffer as state shortchanges agencies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:29 GMT

California’s foster children are too often being warehoused in hotels, office spaces and former juvenile halls rather than receiving intensive services to heal their trauma.Christine Stoner-Mertz is CEO of the California Alliance of Child and Family Services. (Photo courtesy of Christine Stoner-Mertz.)The state is failing the children who need us most because it has failed to invest at every level of the system supporting them. The state budget just adopted offers a thin lifeline to essential programs for youth yet misses crucial opportunities to fix devastating gaps in our system for the most vulnerable young people.From the viewpoint of the nonprofit programs that help children heal and reunite families, a total collapse is on the horizon without a surge in funding, and better coordination among public and private sectors to meet the growing needs of vulnerable children.First, helping them starts with prevention. Family resource centers, embedded in communities and with the t...

SAN FRANCISCO — Jeff Chinn says Bruce Lee saved his life.Now, 50 years after Lee’s death, Chinn works to keep Lee alive in the minds of visitors at a San Francisco museum.“Many times I get burned out and I get tired, but I keep reminding myself that Bruce Lee helped me so I have to keep up my part of the bargain,” Chinn said this week. “It’s just kind of strange because half my tour group doesn’t know he was born here.”Lee died on July 20, 1973, after an allergic reaction to headache medication. He was 32 and not yet the martial arts movie superstar he would become.Chinn, 62, is a retired mail carrier who serves as a docent in the Museum of the Chinese Historical Society of America in San Francisco’s Chinatown, where he guides tourists through an exhibit dedicated to Lee’s life.“His tour is really quite personal, quite in depth, and very intentional,” said the museum’s collections manager, Palma You.About 60% of the displayed artifacts, including the blue suit Lee wore i...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:29 GMT

SO FAR SO GOOD FOR MOST PLAYERS AT 17TH HOLEHOYLAKE, England (AP) — The much-hyped par-3 17th hole was producing more good scores than bad through the opening round of the British Open.The 136-yard hole at Royal Liverpool was redesigned to add drama to the tournament this year, challenging players with an elevated green well protected by steep slopes and deep bunkers.There were seven birdies and only one score of double bogey or worse at the hole early in the opening round. Lucas Herbert had a triple bogey, with his troubles starting after his tee shot went into the rough to left of the green. He found the deep right-side bunker from there and needed two shots to get out before two-putting.The wind wasn’t blowing too hard, making it easier for players.Bryson DeChambeau and Wyndham Clark were among the players who challenged the internal out-of-bounds boundary that cuts into the fairway at the third hole, with both hitting shots that went well left — away from the out-of-bounds troub...
