On Thursday, three days before the 49ers cornerback treks to Seattle for the first time as a visiting player, Sherman made it clear he still has issues with the franchise that released him in March.

On Thursday, the group unveiled a proposal to amend Virginia's constitution so an independent commission would draw the districts rather than the legislature. Читать дальше...

Since an all-cash business can lead to fraud, theft and even encourage robberies, Conine, Lieutenant... Читать дальше...
