Kiszla: Broncos have better shot at NFL playoffs with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson than with Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:18 GMT

How dumb must an NFL team be to do everything in its power to recreate the bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett, a bad idea that made the Broncos look like fools?Sean Payton was hired by Denver to be a coach with the gravitas to wrest away the control from quarterback Russell Wilson that Rodgers now wants with the New York Jets.What can I say? The J-E-T-S are D-U-M-B.Here’s hoping the hissy fit thrown by Rodgers, a Grade AA prima donna, results in his trade to New York, because the Jets are scheduled to make a visit for a game in our dusty old cowtown later this year.The Broncos and Jets are so desperate for a return to the NFL playoffs they are willing to sell their souls for a quarterback. After closing last season on a six-game losing streak, New York finished with a 7-10 record, while Denver was even worse at 5-12.But what combination would you rather have leading your offense?Rodgers and Hackett? Or Payton and Wilson?I say: Advantage, Broncos. Big time.For all t...

San Clemente homes teetering on edge of hillside after collapse; residents evacuated

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:18 GMT

Just a day after officials in Orange County declared a local state of emergency, residents of four residential structures in San Clemente were forced to evacuate after the collapse of a hillside at the rear of the properties.  Crews with the Orange County Fire Authority responded to the scene in the 1500 block of Buena Vista after receiving a 911 call about the landslide shortly after 8 a.m. Firefighters then conducted a search of three properties to ensure all residents were out of the buildings, authorities said. Footage shot by an OCFA drone after the evacuation showed the land beneath the structures still sliding down the hill. A swimming pool at the back of one of the properties can also be seen precariously close to the edge of the hillside collapse.  Drone footage shows the swimming pool of one home, along with adjacent buildings, teetering dangerously close to a hillside collapse in San Clemente Mar. 14, 2023 (OCFA).Close-up look at the swimming pool of a San Cleme...

Pair who shot at each other, killing Brentwood teen, are convicted of manslaughter, not murder

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:18 GMT

DUBLIN — In a case where two East Bay men fired guns at each other, but killed a 19-year-old woman, jurors returned the exact same verdict against both men Wednesday morning.Willie Samuels, 28, and Fernando Sevilla, 42, both escaped murder convictions, but jurors found them guilty of voluntary manslaughter and gun enhancements in the death of Brentwood resident Madalyn Sandoval. The trial stemmed from a shooting at 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, 2020, near San Antonio Park in Oakland.The jury deliberated for several days, and the verdict came two days after one juror privately voiced concerns about how deliberations were going to the judge. As speculation rose about the potential for a mistrial, jurors announced Wednesday they had agreed on a manslaughter verdict.The verdict presents another crossroads for the Alameda County District Attorney’s office. During the trial, new DA Pamela Price issued a directive telling her prosecutors to generally avoid filing enhancements — pa...

Plans to build a massive, floating pool on the San Francisco Bay get legislative boost

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:37:18 GMT

The Bay Area is one step closer to getting its first public floating pool, though challenges remain for the waterfront development just south of the Bay Bridge.Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, proposed legislation Wednesday authorizing construction of a heated, Olympic-sized pool that would float on the San Francisco Bay, surrounded by retail space, offices and housing.Because the site of the proposed project — Piers 30-32 — is owned by the state, a developer can’t build there without special legislative approval. But even if Wiener’s Senate Bill 273 bill passes, the project still must get a green light from the city, the state and several other agencies.Wiener described the proposed project as a “powerful vision for the waterfront.”“I’m proud to introduce this new legislation and partner with the Port of San Francisco to make our waterfront stronger, safer, more sustainable, and more vibrant,” he said in a news releas...

LOS ANGELES — The hits keep coming for the Warriors.Already playing without Andrew Wiggins (family matter) and Gary Payton II (abdominal injury), Golden State will now be down its trusty elder statesman for the foreseeable future.Andre Iguodala is scheduled to have surgery on his broken left wrist next week, the team announced Wednesday afternoon.Iguodala, 39, broke his wrist during Monday’s win over the Phoenix Suns at Chase Center, the team said. He was seen icing his hand in the locker room and had been ruled out ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.While the Warriors couldn’t provide a timeline for Iguodala’s return, his surgery will likely sideline him for the remainder of the regular season and could keep him out into the postseason.The Warriors have no time to sulk the unfortunate news and will need to move on without him. They’re fifth in the Western Conference standings that’s so compacted that only four games ...
