Prize free agent Javon Hargrave shocked to be joining the 49ers

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:33:47 GMT

When the free agency negotiating period began, Javon Hargrave was curious as to where he would wind up.With 11 sacks and in the prime of his career after a big year with the Philadelphia Eagles,  Hargrave was secure in the knowledge that he was about to sign a life-changing contract. What he didn’t expect was to be signing with the 49ers.“I couldn’t believe it myself. I really couldn’t,” Hargrave said Thursday in a video conference. “Sometimes when you’re trying to get the money, you have to go to a team that’s in a rebuild mode. When you get a chance to go a team that was just in the NFC championship it was an easy for choice for me.“It made me really happy because I was nervous about free agency, where I was going to have to go. I felt this was the perfect situation for me.”The 49ers officially announced the signings of Hargrave, quarterback Sam Darnold, defensive end Clelin Ferrell and defensive back Isaiah Oliver, with ...

Diocese of Oakland considers bankruptcy filing amid anticipated crush of sex assault lawsuits

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:33:47 GMT

Leaders of the Diocese of Oakland are giving “strong consideration” to filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid an expected crush of lawsuits against the church alleging sexual abuse by its priests.In an announcement Thursday, Bishop Michael C. Barber said church leaders were mulling the bankruptcy filing after having recently been informed that the diocese could face about 330 sexual abuse-related lawsuits. The landslide of litigation comes after a recent California law gave victims of sexual abuse a three-year window to file new claims that — until recently — had expired or been barred.The number of potential lawsuits against the diocese — and the breadth of church’s potential legal exposure — only recently came into focus with the end of the special filing period on Dec. 31, Barber said.“After much prayer and thoughtful advice, I believe bankruptcy can provide a way to support all survivors in their journey toward healing in an equitab...

In Pajaro Gov. Gavin Newsom said $42 million was available for flood relief. The real amount is just over $300,000

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:33:47 GMT

PAJARO — In his pledge to aid the hundreds of families who have been evacuated from the farm town of Pajaro in Monterey County after recent floods, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that $42 million would be made available to help those impacted by flooding through the United Way — but the aid organization said the correct amount currently available is just over $300,000.United Way of Monterey County Director Katy Castagna said Gov. Newsom may have “conflated” the $42 million in the statewide United Ways of California COVID relief fund with the smaller, local allocation of $300,000 given to Monterey County out of that fund, inadvertently adding to the miscommunication and confusion many Pajaro residents are growing frustrated with.Governor’s office spokesman Alex Stack said in a statement that “while in Pajaro, the Governor highlighted economic relief for farm and food workers that is being distributed in real-time to storm-impacted communities, ra...

Alabama, Miller face renewed questions about fatal shooting

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:33:47 GMT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Brandon Miller sat in a folding chair in a corner of the locker room facing an assemblage of reporters and video cameras.Alabama’s freshman All-American fielded few questions about his worst game in crimson and white, not with all the off-the-court matters that have shadowed him and a team mounting a bid for the program’s first national championship.Amid myriad distractions, the NCAA Tournament’s top overall seed dispatched 16th-seeded Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 96-75 on Thursday in the opening round even with its best player going scoreless for the first time.Miller, who politely but succinctly responded to questions about anything not related to the game, has been accompanied by a security guard provided by the university after facing threats since his presence at the scene of a fatal shooting was disclosed in court testimony.“It doesn’t bother me,” Miller said of the threats, which he forwards to university officials. “I send it to the ...
