Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:24:31 GMT

49ers’ Brock Purdy not getting ‘sentimental’ about return to Philadelphia

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:24:31 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy played it cool Thursday, stiff-arming an obvious storyline of seeking vengeance in Sunday’s return to Philadelphia, where his elbow injury triggered their NFC Championship Game loss 10 months ago.“Am I going to go in feeling sentimental? … Am I going in to say I want revenge? It’s nothing like that,” Purdy said.Instead, Purdy shifted the focus toward the bigger picture, how the 49ers (8-3) need a win over the Eagles (10-3) for playoff ramifications, especially “where” they’ll be in the postseason.Last visit went haywire only six snaps into the 49ers’ opening possession, when Purdy took a snap at midfield and had his right elbow struck by speedy Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick.Reddick hasn’t reached out since then, nor did Purdy expect any well-wishes in what’s been arguably the NFL’s best comeback story this season. “It’s just the game. It’s how it goes. You get hurt,” Purdy sai...

Former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo filed the official paperwork today to run for U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo’s open congressional seat.Last week, Eshoo, 80, announced she’d be retiring after more than three decades in Congress. She was last re-elected in 2022 and her term ends January 2025. The District 16 seat runs from the Peninsula down through the South Bay from Pacifica in the north to San Jose, Los Gatos and Pescadero in the south.Earlier this year, Liccardo confirmed to The Mercury News that he was considering a bid for Congress. He was elected to the San Jose City Council in 2006, where he represented the downtown area. In 2014, he beat out now California State Sen. Dave Cortese (D-San Jose) to become the city’s 65th mayor. Liccardo handily won re-election in 2018 with 76% of the vote and termed out in 2022.Since leaving office, he’s been a lecturer at Stanford Law School and is the senior advisor and counsel for California civic initiatives at San Francisco...

By Devan Cole | CNNThe Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to authorize subpoenas for conservatives Leonard Leo and Harlan crow in its probe into ethics controversies at the Supreme Court.In a party-line vote, the Democratic-led committee approved the requests for documents and records from Leo, the co-chairman of the board of the influential Federalist Society who has played a significant role in selecting conservative Supreme Court justices, and Crow, a GOP megadonor whose largesse to Justice Clarence Thomas over the years has raised questions about why the conservative jurist has at times failed to report the gifts.The move is a significant escalation in the committee’s ongoing probe and comes nearly three weeks after the court attempted to address some of the concerns raised by congressional Democrats and others by announcing a new ethics code.“Leonard Leo continued to ignore our efforts and Harlan Crown has refused to provide a sufficient response,” Chairman Dick Durbin s...
