NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump, campaigning in Iowa Saturday, marked the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol by casting the migrant surge on the southern border as the “real” insurrection.Just over a week before the Republican nomination process begins with Iowa’s kickoff caucuses, Trump continued to claim that countries have been emptying jails and mental institutions to fuel a record number of migrant crossings. There is no evidence that this is the case.“When you talk about insurrection, what they’re doing, that’s the real deal. That’s the real deal. Not patriotically and peacefully — peacefully and patriotically,” Trump said, quoting from his speech on Jan. 6, before a violent mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol as part of a desperate bid to keep him in power after his 2020 election loss.Trump’s remarks came a day after Biden delivered a speech near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where he cast Trump as a grave...

Kickin’ It with Kiz: Russell Wilson’s flop proves Sean Payton is no football mastermind

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:11:06 GMT

Sean Payton was carried in New Orleans by one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Drew Brees. Same for Bill Belichick by Tom Brady and Mike Shanahan by John Elway. Without a difference-maker at quarterback, the Broncos aren’t going anywhere.M.P.J., football savantKiz: Players win games. Coaches try not to mess it up. During the peak of Brett Favre’s career, I asked Mike Holmgren, then coach in Green Bay and a former quarterback: Is the QB or head coach more essential to the success of an NFL team? Holmgren laughed and replied; “I’ve got to plead the Fifth.” Wilson’s flop with the Broncos reminds us a championship quarterback can make Payton look smart, but for all his alleged genius, Payton can’t make an average NFL quarterback a champion.Kiz, I’ve read you forever and generally agree with your takes, but lately have found your objectivity slipping, with too much anger at the media dissing by Broncos coach Sean Payton. I’m not sure y...

Sharks update: Couture could soon take another step toward return

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:11:06 GMT

SAN JOSE – Logan Couture will not return to the San Jose Sharks’ lineup for today’s game with the Toronto Maple Leafs but he could practice with the team on Sunday before it leaves for a five-game road trip.Sharks coach David Quinn said Saturday afternoon that Couture skated earlier in the day at SAP Center but wasn’t sure how the team’s captain felt afterward.Couture suffered the injury before the start of training camp and later experienced two frustrating setbacks, delaying his return. Couture, though, has been skating regularly for just over a month after, and indications earlier this week were that he needed more practice time before he returned to the active roster.Quinn said Thursday that Couture will join the Sharks on the road trip with the expectation that he would play at some point. The eight-day trip starts Tuesday in Toronto, followed by games in Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo, and Chicago.The Sharks have lost 10 straight games and entered Saturday i...

SANTA CLARA – Ray-Ray McCloud, the 49ers’ return specialist the past two seasons, came off the Injured Reserve list Saturday in a move that could alleviate a concern for the playoffs.In a corresponding roster move, tight end Ross Dwelley went on Injured Reserve, having missed over a month with an ankle injury.McCloud missed the past five games with fractured ribs, and he’s eligible to return for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium.The top-seeded 49ers (12-4) are expected to sit Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey but other regular starters could at least make cameos with McCloud in a game that doesn’t impact the Niners’ playoff positioning.Jauan Jennings (concussion) got downgraded to out for his third straight game, and fellow wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) remains out.The two practice-squad players elevated for Sunday’s game: running back Jeremy McNichols and safety Tayler Hawkins.Fullback Kyle Juszczyk (illness) was added to the inju...
