Where the 49ers’ roster stands as free agency and new league year officially begin

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:14:40 GMT

At the close of the regular season, the 49ers all but said goodbye to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, tackle Mike McGlinchey, defensive back Jimmie Ward and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair.All have reportedly agreed to terms with other teams during the negotiating period and can officially sign contracts Wednesday at the start of the new league year — Garoppolo with the Las Vegas Raiders, McGlinchey with the Denver Broncos while Ward joins former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans in Houston and Al-Shaair heads to Tennessee.Those losses were factored in by coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch to the cost of doing business under the salary cap.Two more players — cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (Detroit) and defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway (Houston) will also depart, with Moseley being a mild surprise coming off an ACL tear in Week 5.An important piece of the offensive line was brought back in center Jake Brendel, while others scheduled for free agency who re-upped were...

Editorial: SVB failure adds to tech industry’s greedy image

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:14:40 GMT

Day by day, month by month, year by year, greed is ruining the tech industry’s image.This time it was tech’s response to the failure of its primary financial institution, Silicon Valley Bank. When it comes to privacy, child internet protections, curbing misinformation or, now, protecting our banking system, tech companies repeatedly put profit before the public good.The federal government bailed out tech this time, but the public’s patience with the industry is running thin, threatening its future.Silicon Valley Bank was a niche institution catering to financing for the tech industry. Two weeks before its collapse, the bank’s CEO, Greg Becker, reportedly sold $3.6 million in company shares. That’s right. Becker apparently made sure he got his money knowing the potential that others could be caught holding the bag.It was Becker who helped bring about the crisis. In 2015, he pleaded with Congress to weaken the Dodd-Frank Act regulations, created after the...

A closer look at the Warriors’ embarrassing road record and how they can turn it around

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:14:40 GMT

The vibes are buzzing when the Warriors play at home. A 29-7 record at Chase Center buoys their playoff hopes and the invigorating home win streaks inspire talk of the Warriors finally turning a corner.But the road Warriors are nothing like the home Warriors.Those big scoring games that lift them at home can’t plaster over poor defensive communication that completely falls apart when Golden State is on the road.Those defensive lapses are the primary reason for the Warriors’ 7-26 road record. Though not the worst road record in the NBA — the Spurs (6-27) and Rockets (6-28) have them beat for futility — but they definitely own the worst road record among playoff contenders.In fact, the Warriors are on pace to own one of the worst road records for a playoff team in modern NBA history. The 1987-88 San Antonio Spurs and 1985-86 Chicago Bulls made the playoffs finishing with identical 8-33 road records, the worst in last 50 years, according to Associated Press. The...

College basketball: Santa Clara Broncos catch a break, stay home for NIT opener vs. Sam Houston State

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:14:40 GMT

The Santa Clara Broncos are having one of the best seasons in school history and were a slam dunk to be picked to play in the National Invitation Tournament. But playing Wednesday night’s NIT opener at the Leavy Center was a nice twist for the Broncos.Unlike the NCAA Tournament, which is played at neutral sites, the NIT’s top 16 seeds have the opportunity to play at home right up until the Final Four — this year in Las Vegas instead of Madison Square Garden, where it had been held since 1938.The Broncos drew No. 3 seed Sam Houston State, but aren’t playing in Huntsville, Texas, because of a scheduling quirk. Not a basketball schedule, but an academic one.Sam Houston State is on spring break this week and declined to host the first-round game. Bearkats athletic director Bobby Williams said in a statement that without the students and staff on campus they “would not have been able to meet the standards required to host an opening-round game or create an a...

Opinion: California still fails to uphold defendants’ right to counsel

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:14:40 GMT

Sixty years ago this week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous landmark ruling intended to create a more equitable criminal justice system. In California, we are still waiting for the change that was promised.On March 18, 1963, the justices decided in Gideon v. Wainwright that defendants in felony cases have the constitutional right to a free attorney if they can’t afford to hire one.If you were too poor to pay a lawyer, it stood to reason that you could not meaningfully exercise your Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial.That is what happened to Clarence Earl Gideon, who was was accused of stealing bottles of beer and soda and about $5 in vending machine change from a pool hall in Panama City, Fla. The judge refused to appoint him an attorney. So Gideon, who was indigent, had to represent himself at trial. He was sentenced to five years in prison.While incarcerated, Gideon sent a handwritten appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing that the judge had violated his right to a fair ...
