49ers’ defense seeks answers after Bengals, Burrow carve it up

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:11:40 GMT

SANTA CLARA — On the Bengals’ third play from scrimmage Sunday afternoon, the 49ers’ defense surrounded quarterback Joe Burrow with the kind of pressure it lacked six days earlier, failing to record a single sack in a Monday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings.On third-and-10, Burrow backpedaled as the pocket collapsed around him and found no safe haven. Arik Armstead’s 290-pound frame soon hung from his shoulder blades. But soon enough, the 49ers defensive lineman and another one of his cohorts, Nick Bosa, were on their backs in the backfield. Still upright, Burrow unleashed a completion to Tee Higgins, converting the first down, and five plays later was celebrating in Levi’s Stadium’s north end zone.The tone was set. The 49ers’ defense, which looked so daunting just a few weeks ago, was hardly able to slow down the Bengals’ All-Pro quarterback, let alone take him down, in an eventual 31-17 defeat, entering their bye week with a third strai...

Tuberville says he will keep blocking military promotions despite Israel’s war

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:11:40 GMT

(CNN) — Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who has held up military promotions for nine months, slammed a proposal being floated to change the chamber’s rules to allow a vote on many of the nominations en masse and attacked the White House and Senate Democrats for not negotiating with him.“It’s typical of this place. This administration would rather burn the Senate down and that’s what would happen. … If you change the rules of the Senate then it lasts forever,” Tuberville told CNN’s Manu Raju. “So they would rather burn down the Senate than negotiate.”All Senate Democrats would have to join with nine Republicans for this latest plan to work. The bloc of nominees wouldn’t include some higher-level military promotions, which senators would still want to confirm one at a time. The proposal could go to the Senate Rules Committee as soon as this week, a source told CNN Thursday.Tuberville has been holding up military promotions since February because of a Department of Defense policy tha...

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — UConn coach Geno Auriemma was traveling with his team in Hungary this summer when he walked into a mystical little shop and asked for a charm that might keep his star players Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd healthy this season.The woman behind the counter sold Auriemma a bracelet made of what the coach calls “spiritual beads,” promising they would bring good luck.“I think that was a con job, sales job, but I’m trying anything,” Auriemma said. “Because, so much has happened that you just hold your breath at the end of every practice, at the end of every workout, when you go home, that you didn’t get a phone call.”Bueckers, the national player of the year as a freshman and a pre-season All-American this year, missed all of last season and most of the previous one with two separate knee injuries. Fudd, who like Bueckers is a former high school player of the year, also had injuries that put her on the bench for significant time during her freshman and...
