Deebo Samuel made his intentions clear: he plans to play in the 49ers season finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.Speaking on the ‘Up and Adams’ show with Kay Adams on Tuesday, Samuel said the 49ers offense is continuing to prepare as if it were a normal game, despite having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC.Head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn’t yet decided which starters will play, but Samuel made it sound like the offense wants to maintain its momentum from last Sunday, when they knocked off the Washington Commanders, 27-10.“You definitely want to keep the flow going,” Samuel said. “But you also want to give your body a rest. I feel like we’ll play this game for a good bit, just to keep the groove going and not take too much time off.”Asked if it was a negotiation with Shanahan about who will play on Sunday, Samuel smiled.Related ArticlesSan Francisco 49ers | 49ers explain what clinching the No. 1 seed early means to them San Francisco 49ers | ...

PG&E proposes additional price hike

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:59:07 GMT

(KRON) -- Californians are turning up the heat as cooler rainy weather arrives, which causes utility bills to rise. But come this month customers will also see increases due to a rate hike, as combined gas and electric bills go up an average of 13 percent, or $34.50 a month."We cannot continue to let them have these increase on top of increase, and there's just no end to it," said Dr. Harold Pierre, pastor at Pilgram Community Church.While PG&E says the bulk of the money is going towards safety upgrades, Pierre says it's forcing his parishioners on fixed incomes to make difficult choices when it comes to food and rent and medicine and heat."And they go home, and they sit in the cold or they pay the PG&E bill. But then they cut down on the, on the medicine or they, they eat from the canned meat and the canned vegetables that we're bagging up and try and stretch that out during the week," Pierre said.And while this rate hike is already approved, PG&E is also requesting the...

No. 1 Purdue handles Maryland 67-53 to snap Terrapins’ 19-game home winning streak

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:59:07 GMT

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Zach Edey and No. 1 Purdue dominated from the start at Maryland.That might say a lot about the directions both teams have gone since last season.Edey had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and the Boilermakers cruised past the Terrapins 67-53 on Tuesday night to snap their 19-game home winning streak. For a Purdue team that’s trying to improve upon last season — when it was a No. 1 seed but lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Fairleigh Dickinson — this was another encouraging sign.Maryland coach Kevin Willard can only hope a matchup like this will give his own team a sense of how much it still needs to improve.“By far the best team in the country. It’s not even close,” Willard said. “You look at their schedule, who they’ve played, where they’ve played, it’s the best team in the country. But for them to come in here and do this to us on our home court, that should be a little bit of an eye-opener for everybody.”The Boilerma...
