Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

Today’s game may have been San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford’s farewell not only to his team, but to professional baseball.“The main thing will be if I want to come back and play baseball next year,” Crawford, 36, said of his looming decision. “There were a lot of parts I didn’t enjoy, unfortunately. But that’s baseball. You fail a lot in this game. Failing isn’t very fun. That’s probably partially why I haven’t made a decision yet. This year is far from how I pictured it going, whether it was going on the IL or just not playing well. Not kind of how I pictured to go out. So that’s definitely a factor.”Crawford said he will consult with his family, who have accompanied him all the way, starting with his wife, Jalynne, ever since they met at UCLA. Their first-born, Braylyn, arrived two years into Crawford’s career. The nest has since grown to four, with a fifth on the way. All four kids threw ceremonial first pitches, with their dad crouched behind home plat...

Instant analysis: Undefeated 49ers top Cardinals behind McCaffrey, Purdy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Three touchdowns by Christian McCaffrey put the undefeated 49ers’ fourth win in motion Sunday.But 35 minutes remained. Things stalled. The Arizona Cardinals rallied. The 49ers needed more.Sure enough, McCaffrey delivered with his fourth touchdown, and that fourth-quarter score vaulted the 49ers toward an eventual 35-16 win that secured a 4-0 record for only the fifth time in franchise history.The 49ers end their three-game homestand with its marquee attraction next Sunday night, when the Dallas Cowboys return to the site of their divisional-playoff loss, 19-12, on Jan. 22.McCaffrey nearly matched the franchise’s single-game touchdown record, but a potential fifth score was denied at the 2-yard line on a 2-yard run in the final minutes, and rather than give him the ball again, coach Kyle Shanahan called for a Brock Purdy sneak from inside the 1 to cap the scoring spree.“Honestly I had no idea until I came in here he had four touchdowns,” Shanahan said ...

Family of Sierra LaMar, Midsi Sanchez support Polly Klaas’ father on 30th anniversary of kidnapping

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

SAUSALITO – For three decades, Marc Klaas has lived with the trauma of his daughter Polly’s kidnapping and murder, and through years of child advocacy, carried the burden of scores of families whose children vanished, too.On Sunday, the 30th anniversary of Polly’s abduction from her bedroom during a slumber party at her Petaluma home, Klaas said he is phasing out the foundation that backed crime legislation and helped 1,500 families across the country search for their missing children.The work has helped him heal, he said. But he’s 74 years old now, and it’s taken its toll. To think Polly would have been 42 today.“Dealing with your own deceased child is one thing, but then dealing with other people’s loss repeatedly over and over and over and over and over again, it just becomes a little overwhelming sometimes,” Klaas said in an interview from the living room of his Sausalito townhome. “I don’t want to die carrying other people’s burdens. I really don’t.”On S...

Ex-Charger Jerry Tillery ejected for late hit on LA QB Justin Herbert

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Jerry Tillery was ejected for a late hit on Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert in the second quarter of their game Sunday.Tillery, a former teammate of Herbert’s, delivered a forearm shot to the quarterback’s upper body after he had stepped out of bounds at the end of a 3-yard scramble.The Chargers bench swarmed Tillery, surrounding him before he was ushered away by Raiders teammate John Jenkins.Tillery was subsequently ejected for unnecessary roughness, continuing a penchant for questionable sportsmanship by the five-year pro.A first-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2019, Tillery’s time in Los Angeles ended when he was waived midway through the 2022 season after making 10 1/2 sacks in 54 games and accruing a number of 15-yard penalties.Tillery signed with the Raiders and played the final eight games of the season, but his midseason move was best remembered for picking up a costly dead ball penal...

Losses piling up for Cincinnati Bengals with Joe Burrow limited by calf injury

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Joe Burrow keeps playing, yet the NFL’s highest-paid player with the lightning quick release clearly isn’t himself. Blame the right calf strained back in training camp. The challenge for the Cincinnati Bengals is that they go as their quarterback goes.Burrow threw for just 165 yards Sunday, and the Bengals had to settle for a field goal the one time they got close to the Tennessee end zone as Cincinnati lost 27-3 to the Titans. “This was unacceptable …,” Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said. “And I’ve got the confidence that we’ve got everything we need in this locker room to get right and get back on track next week. Disappointing this is not the expectation we had going into this game.”Cincinnati won the coin toss and drove down the field with Burrow completing his first four passes, playing from the shotgun and making quick tosses. Then he got lucky Titans safety Amani Hooker didn’t pick him off on second-and-goal.The Bengals got to the...

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — There was a fiery moment during the NASCAR race at Talladega Superspeedway when a gas can erupted into flames on pit road. Ty Gibbs pulled out of his pit stall Sunday with the gas can still dangling from his Toyota and the fuel can dislodged in the middle of pit road. It sparked when it hit the pavement and then caught fire. Other drivers had to swerve around the burning gas can as emergency workers waited until pit road was clear to approach the fire. They extinguished the flames and the race resumed. Gibbs was penalized for leaving his pit box with equipment. He finished 22nd. ___AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racingSource

Rangers falter in season finale in 1-0 loss to Seattle, allows Houston to win AL West

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — The elation of less than 24 hours earlier inside the Texas Rangers clubhouse was replaced with disappointment about a major missed opportunity.The Rangers are thrilled to be back in the postseason, but failed to win American League West title and earn some extra time off when they lost to the Seattle Mariners 1-0 on Sunday.Coupled with Houston’s 8-1 win over Arizona, the defeat handed the AL West title to the Astros (89-73) as the result of the season-series tiebreaker and sent Texas (89-73) to the postseason as a wild card team for a best-of-three series at Tampa Bay starting Tuesday.“There’s always going to be disappointment because this game was big. It was huge. And so I’m sure there’s disappointment in there,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. “Once we get on the plane realizing you’re in postseason, and like I said, you get your head back to where it needs to be.”Instead of days of rest and home-field advantage, the Rangers will have to advance from the Wild Card ...

Questionable decisions by Bears coaching staff play a role in heartbreaking loss to Broncos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:24:02 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears coach Matt Eberflus praised his team’s passion and energy. He said the team’s execution was “really good in spots,” and that was “a big improvement.” He pointed to what he called “a lot good moments in there.”It was quite the take on Chicago’s 14th consecutive loss dating to last season, one in which the Bears blew a 21-point lead during an ugly finish that included a couple of questionable decisions by Eberflus and his coaching staff.Justin Fields passed for a career-high 335 yards and four touchdowns, but he also had a fumble returned for a score and threw an interception on Chicago’s final drive in a 31-28 loss to Denver on Sunday. The Bears led 28-7 after Khalil Herbert’s 2-yard TD reception with 4:11 left in the third quarter.“Obviously we’re all very disappointed in this hard-fought battle that we had today and the outcome,” Eberflus said. “But I certainly can see things moving in the right direction for our football tea...
