49ers’ Brock Purdy: ‘It looks like I have a robotic arm’

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:47 GMT

Brock Purdy’s recovery from elbow surgery is “going as planned,” even if that means his support brace “looks like I have a robotic arm.”Purdy spoke Friday on Fox Sports 910-AM in Phoenix, where he’s three weeks into his rehabilitation from surgery repairing the ulnar collateral ligament he tore in the 49ers’ NFC Championship Game loss Jan. 29.“The protocol is you start throwing at three months, but it all depends on how your therapy and your range of motion and everything goes up until that point,” Purdy said on the Roc and Manuch with Jimmy B show. “There are definitely some boxes I have to check off first before I get to that point, but that’s the plan as of now.”Purdy commended the 49ers’ medical and training staff for their constant monitoring of his progress, from daily calls to also visiting him in Arizona, which Purdy said head trainer Dustin Little did “the minute I went out and had surgery” ...

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors have selected their newest supervisor – and avoided stoking controversy in the process.After hearing hours of public comments in support of the four candidates on Thursday, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors chose to appoint Hayward City Councilmember Elisa Márquez to the board.The selection process began on Tuesday, when interviews of each candidate were conducted publicly. Early on, it was clear that Márquez and Teresa Keng, the vice mayor of Fremont and local business owner, had hearty support from the community.“It’s surreal,” Márquez said in an interview. “The biggest takeaway is that District 2 showed up in full force.”Related ArticlesPolitics | Editorial: Alameda County supervisors should not appoint another carpet-bagger Politics | Valle replacement sparks another controversy over residence for Alameda County supervisors Márquez, a lifelong resident of the district, will replace popular supervisor R...

Even after lawsuit victory, clock is ticking for Oakland A’s on Howard Terminal stadium

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:47 GMT

OAKLAND — Another baseball season is just getting underway, but it appears that the Oakland A’s are already running out of time.The clock is ticking for the team to find another home before its lease at the Coliseum expires next December, and there’s little word from the city about a deal being struck over a new, billion-dollar 35,000-seat waterfront ballpark in West Oakland.That stadium development — plus 3,000 new homes, massive retail and other commercial space, hotel units and more — cleared a hurdle Thursday when an appeal by shipping companies challenging the proposal’s environmental details was defeated in court.“Oakland will continue upgrading our infrastructure so we can support sustainable and resilient communities and promote economic development,” Mayor Sheng Thao said Thursday in a statement. “And we are now one step closer to reaching our goals.”The shipping companies operate at the city’s busy port, and...

Letters: Light pollution | Making an effort | Intolerant call | Bad government | Common sense

Read more Letters to the Editor.Cities should guardagainst light pollutionRe: “Council votes down digital billboard plan” (Page B4, March 22).Good news. Gilroy City Council rejected an electronic billboard along Highway 101 that the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, Sierra Club Loma Prieta and Green Foothills also opposed. Nighttime light harms wildlife and has been shown to harm human health too. The structure would have been 75 feet tall with a 672-square-foot display area, adversely affecting our environment, safety, energy consumption and health, and impairing our view of the universe too.Gilroy, along with San Jose and other cities, should develop a dark sky ordinance to guide light pollution decisions. Approving an electronic billboard project without a dark sky ordinance fails to consider its overall impact and the proper management of light pollution. The city of Cupertino has such an ordinance, and residents of o...

(KRON) -- Los Angeles Angels star Anthony Rendon took a swing at an Oakland A's fan Thursday night in a confrontation that was caught on video. In the video, which was posted to Twitter, the Angels third baseman confronts a fan in the stands who he seems to think has just insulted him.The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating the incident, which it is calling a "battery." The fan in the video has not contacted OPD. Oakland A’s ballpark ranked worst in U.S. "What did you say?" Rendon can be heard asking the fan as he grabs him by the shirt. The fan replies with something inaudible. Rendon then replies, "Yeah, you called me a b**ch, huh?"The fan, nodding his head in denial, suggests he did not call the two-time Silver Slugger that word."Yeah, you did. Yeah m***********r," Rendon said as he is still grabbing onto the fan's shirt. Rendon then appears to throw a left hook but misses as the fan was able to back up and dodge the punch. Rendon walks away as the 12-second clip ...

Video of Club Q shooting to be kept from public view

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:47 GMT

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Surveillance footage capturing the attack at a Colorado gay nightclub that left five people dead and 17 others wounded will not be made public until it is presented at trial, a judge ruled Friday.Prosecutors and defense attorneys had argued that releasing the gruesome video could make it difficult to seat an impartial jury and would further traumatize the survivors while disrespecting those who were killed in the Nov. 19, 2022, shooting.“Those individuals deserve the respect of not having the last moments or the most traumatic moments of their lives broadcast and downloadable from a State of Colorado web site,” Anderson Lee Aldrich's public defenders wrote in a March 2 motion. 14 teachers leave school during shooting threat; principal placed on leave They also argued that, unlike printed court documents, it would be too difficult to redact the video, which shows "moments of death and severe injury to several people."Judge Michael McHenry agreed not t...
