What reasons do 49ers give for allowing 19 rushing touchdowns? ‘All of the above’

SANTA CLARA – Not a single rushing touchdown breached the 49ers’ defense through the first 14 games of their 2011 revival. Vic Fangio, their first-year defensive coordinator, offered a simple explanation for their prowess. “Some luck is involved, but it’s good play,” Fangio said back then. Good play like Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman combining for 20 tackles for loss, behind a menacing defensive line. It didn’t stop there. “Everybody likes to get dirty. We have a secondary that loves to tackle,” then-safety Dashon Goldson proclaimed. This season’s edition of the 49ers’ run defense runs counter to that 2011 dominance. It’s disjointed at every level. The 49ers already have allowed 19 rushing touchdowns, more than in any of coach Kyle Shanahan’s previous seven seasons. Five games remain to halt that trend, with the 49ers (5-7) next hosting the Chicago Bears (4-8) on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. Coincidentally, Willis made a cameo to watch the start of Thursday’s practice, and when apprised of this year’s defensive woes, he noted how any team that can’t stop the run faces a tough season. Such is the case. Shanahan

There are some essentials to keep in your emergency kit. “When it comes to natural disasters, it’s so important to have emergency supplies,” said Jeff Edelstein, owner of SOS Survival Products. “You want to know you could take care of yourself or your family for three days, a week, two weeks, maybe even a month.” Edelstein says water and food are the basics of any kit, as well as a good first aid kit and any medication you take. “If you ever have to evacuate and you don’t have your medication with you, you can be in a world of hurt.” Edelstein also recommends having plenty of toilet paper set aside – something that we learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A’s sign Luis Severino to richest contract in franchise history: report

For literal decades, A’s fans have clamored for their team to invest significant money — real money — into the on-field product. On Thursday afternoon, the franchise, at long last, did just that. Just in time for the move to Sacramento. Right-hander Luis Severino has reportedly agreed on a three-year, $67 million contract to join the A’s, eclipsing the six-year, $66 million contract that Eric Chavez signed in 2004 as the largest deal in franchise history. The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, as well as an opt out following the 2026 season. Since Severino rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets, the A’s will give up their third-highest pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. The pact with Severino pushes the A’s payroll into the $100 million range. According to Cot’s Contracts, the A’s have never had a nine-figure Opening Day payroll, the closest being $92 million in 2019. Last year, the team had baseball’s lowest Opening Day payroll at $61.3 million. Prior to signing Severino, the A’s largest contract on a free agent was its three-year, $30 million deal with Billy Butler. Severino

After Trump’s win, Russian disinformation aims to drive a wedge between the US and Ukraine

By DAVID KLEPPER WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden uses his final days in office to boost Ukraine’s defenses, Russia is playing a different game: spreading disinformation aimed at eroding U.S. support for Ukraine before Donald Trump’s return to the White House next month. Since the U.S. election on Nov. 5, the Kremlin has used state-run media and its networks of fake news sites and social media accounts to push divisive narratives about the war and America’s Republican president-elect. Analysts say the content, translated into English for American audiences, is intended to turn sentiment against Ukraine at a pivotal time, with the hope of reducing U.S. military assistance and ensuring a Russian victory. Recent examples include fake videos supposedly showing Ukrainian soldiers burning effigies of Trump or his supporters. One clip depicts soldiers saying Trump must not be allowed to take office and should “never be president again.” Multiple researchers have debunked the video, noting telltale signs of digital manipulation. A different video claims to show Ukrainian soldiers firing at a mannequin wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat and a Trump campaign

Ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio to testify at retired police officer’s trial

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio is expected to testify on Thursday at the trial of a retired Washington, D.C., police officer accused of leaking confidential information to the far-right extremist group leader after Tarrio and other Proud Boys burned a stolen Black Lives Matter banner. Attorneys for former Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Shane Lamond plan to call Tarrio as their first defense witness for Lamond’s federal trial on charges that he obstructed justice and made false statements about his communications with Tarrio. Justice Department prosecutors rested their case against Lamond on Wednesday. Tarrio is serving a 22-year prison sentence related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters. A jury convicted him and other Proud Boys leaders of seditious conspiracy for a plot to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power from Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson will decide the case against Lamond after hearing testimony without a jury. On Monday, the judge said Tarrio was waiting for the
