Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:53 GMT

Former 49ers No. 3 overall pick Trey Lance on Tuesday made his first public comments as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, donning a hat that featured the team’s classic blue star.Lance described the last several days as a whirlwind after he was traded Friday evening ahead of San Francisco’s final preseason game.He sidestepped questions about his expectations with the new team, insisting that he’s intent on focusing his energy on each day as he learns head coach Mike McCarthy’s offense and assimilates with the Cowboys. He figures to be the third-string quarterback behind Pro Bowler Dak Prescott, who Lance said welcomed him “with open arms” Tuesday and Cooper Rush, who went 4-1 last season with Prescott injured.The third-year quarterback thanked everyone from the 49ers’ coaching staff to the athletic trainers for his time in the Bay Area and smiled at a question about the sour ending with the Niners when they installed Sam Darnold as the No. 2 q...

Oakland man’s murder confession: He told cops he killed Marin woman, then drove with her body in front seat to commit a second homicide, police say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:53 GMT

OAKLAND — Earlier this month, Oakland police arrested 34-year-old Amadi Monroe after identifying him as a murder suspect who went by the nickname “Bang” and who’d been stalking his victim, Jerald Larnell Clark II, since Monroe’s release from jail a month earlier.But when Monroe sat down in a police interrogation room after his Aug. 11 arrest and waived his Miranda rights, Monroe confessed not just to killing Clark, but also to fatally shooting 30-year-old Brenda Diaz in a Target parking lot hours earlier, authorities said. He then drove Diaz’s Lexus to Oakland to shoot Clark, with her body still in the front seat, according to authorities.Despite the confession, Monroe has thus far only been charged with murder in the killing of Clark. Authorities say the delay in charging him with Diaz’s death has been jurisdictional; investigators are working to confirm his story that he shot Diaz within San Rafael city limits, and whether the Marin or Ala...

Rookies Stroud, Anderson should make Texans better, but Houston still far from contending

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:26:53 GMT

HOUSTON TEXANS 3-13-1EXPECTATIONS: After three seasons as one of the league’s worst teams, things should start looking up for the Texans this year. But with a young team that’s still rebuilding, don’t expect Houston to be anywhere close to contending yet. They’re led by first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans, a former linebacker for the Texans, who has brought some optimism to the downtrodden franchise. A big reason to believe Houston will be improved this season is the addition of quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was the second overall pick in this year’s draft. He replaced Davis Mills after two ineffective seasons. The Texans also beefed up their defense by trading up to nab Will Anderson Jr., a defensive end from Alabama with the third pick in the draft. Anderson has shined in camp and made a highlight-reel play on a strip-sack in the second preseason game. It’s easy to see why FanDuel has him as the favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year.NEW FACES: Ryans, Stroud, Anderson, WR Tank...

You might think it’s in your backyard or around the corner, but a D.C.-based nonprofit has declared the largest tree in the city after a sweeping contest where residents submitted their picks.Its trunk is wider than Shaquille O’Neal is tall — over 7 and 1/2 feet wide (Shaq is 7 feet 1 inch). Located at the edge of the Battery Kemble Park, the Chestnut Oak, which measures over 24 feet around its circumference, is the largest tree in the District.When you drive by on Chain Bridge Road, you might think it is actually six or seven different oaks because of its split trunk, but as you get closer it is clear how large it is.“It was on our radar from the beginning because it was a champion tree that was found for D.C. — a champion tree, meaning that it’s the largest of its species for a state or city in this case,” said Vince Drader with Casey Trees, the group that ran the contest.Drader told WTOP that it is also a National Champion tree, meaning it is also the largest Chestnut...
