49ers’ leaders endorse Shanahan, Lynch extensions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:04 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa is not the only one who agreed to an extension and pay raise before the 49ers’ season. So did coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, much to Bosa’s approval.“I appreciate being in an organization that’s stable,” Bosa said Wednesday. “I’ve seen other teams with friends, my brother (Joey of the Los Angeles Chargers), people who have not really had a stable working environment, and I’m lucky to have that.”Bosa, three weeks after signing the NFL’s richest contract for a non-quarterback, lauded the cohesiveness of Shanahan and Lynch, as well as their up-front communication skills.“There’s a lot of shadiness in the NFL,” Bosa said. “People treat different echelons of players differently throughout (other teams’) building, and it seems pretty consistent with (Shanahan), whether you’re practice squad or one of the starters.”“People talk about it a lot about how real he is, about how authentic he...

What autoworkers’ strike could mean for car repairs in the DC area

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:04 GMT

Not long after the union United Auto Workers went on strike against three big carmakers earlier this month, Precise Auto Service in Kensington, Maryland, sent an email blast to about 1,000 customers. Many customers have been reluctant to go through with all of the shop’s recommended repairs or services, according to Shop Manager Blake Ridgeway, because of how expensive it has become to maintain cars. But in the message, the shop urged customers to not put off addressing its recommendations, “to go ahead and get it in now while they still can, while parts are available to a certain extent.”Though the strike is fairly recent, Ridgeway said some delays in getting parts preceded it. The shop used to be able to get parts within 24 hours, but in the last three to six months, he said “it’s been really difficult. We’ve had cars sitting for a week-plus sometimes.” The average turnaround time is now two to three days, Ridgeway said, and within 24 hours for brakes. For axle or suspension parts...

Jaguars WR Calvin Ridley eager to show everyone, including the Falcons, his true skills

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:04 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — It admittedly took Calvin Ridley “a couple days” to get over the worst performance of his NFL career.Two dropped touchdown passes. Two false start penalties. Two days of mulling what went wrong and why in a 37-17 loss to Houston.“You have to throw it away,” Ridley said Wednesday. “Everyone hates dropping a pass. You think I went out there to drop a pass? I come out here and practice hard, catch pretty much everything. You feel me?“I made a mistake. I can’t wait to get back out there to show the fans, whoever, my mom, my family and my teammates that I’m working hard to be a great player.”He left out one more: the Atlanta Falcons.Ridley will travel 4,300 miles (6,900 kilometers) to face his former team for the first time when the stumbling Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) “host” the Falcons (2-1) at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday. It’s the first of back-to-back games for Jacksonville across the pond and Ridley’s first venture to London.Ridley initially tried t...

Another day, another dousing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:04 GMT

The wet weather trend continues for much of south Florida (and the pattern is getting old and tiresome for many). For the past 15 days, we’ve had rain and storms break out. The excessive rainfall has caused numerous street flooding hazards, on a regular basis. Since more downpours are in the forecast, brace for more instances of “splashing and dashing”. The reason we’re stuck in this wet and unsettled pattern is because of a moisture connection to the tropics. A large shield of tropical moisture continues to stream northward towards Florida (from the Caribbean Sea). As it gets pulled in our direction, it acts as fuel for heavy rain and thunderstorms. There’s no immediate relief coming. Instead, we’ll have to put up with more damp days to close out the week. Looking beyond that time frame, if some of our long range forecast models are correct, there’s a glimmer of hope ahead. Once we get into the start of October, we may have a turn...
