49ers should consider sitting Christian McCaffrey vs. Vikings

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:41:45 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Take it from someone who has no expertise in athletic medicine or specific knowledge of what is ailing Christian McCaffrey:If the 49ers truly value the end game in 2023, they should think hard about having McCaffrey watch from the sideline when they visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.No need to make any announcements and telegraph their intentions. Better to keep alive the possibility of McCaffrey playing as long as possible going into kickoff for what Kyle Shanahan and the rest of the NFL coaches term a “competitive advantage.”McCaffrey left a 19-17 loss to Cleveland after 36 snaps with what was termed an “oblique/rib” injury. They had an MRI done and didn’t release any results, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting long-term injury had been avoided and that playing on Monday wasn’t out of the question.Publicly, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan will leave it to the medical staff. If McCaffrey is cleared and can ...

McManus: Israel’s goal in Gaza is regime change. Where have we heard that before?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:41:45 GMT

Ever since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, Israel has waged an intermittent but limited military campaign to keep a lid on the violent Palestinian faction. Hamas fired missiles at Israeli cities, Israel bombed Gaza from the air or attacked on the ground, then negotiated a cease-fire.The goal was never to remove Hamas; that appeared too costly. It was merely to keep it under control. Israeli military officers gave their recurring Gaza offensives a sad, cynical name: “mowing the grass.”Last week, mowing the grass came to an end.Hamas’ murderous rampage through Israeli towns and villages, which deliberately targeted civilians, led Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to adopt a far more ambitious goal: regime change.“We will destroy Hamas,” Netanyahu said Friday.“We are crushing Hamas’ ability to function as sovereign,” Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for Israel’s armed forces, told reporters. “We cannot contin...

SAN JOSE — A big housing project could sprout next to a San Jose train line by replacing a sports bar and liquor shop with more than 100 affordable homes.The project would consist of 158 residences, according to documents on file with San Jose city officials. The potential development site is at 1330 North First Street in San Jose.The homes would consist of “100 % affordable units” if the project is approved or built, the proposal states.The development site includes The Doghouse sports lounge and Hyde Park Liquors, according to Google Maps.The proposed project is a reminder of the shifting nature of Bay Area real estate at a time when numerous office buildings and retail sites have lost some of their luster in a tricky post-coronavirus economy.Residential projects have become more popular for developers to pursue. However, it can sometimes be difficult for builders to land construction financing, particularly in the current climate of sharply rising interest rates...
