Nick Mullens is the 49ers’ starter, but he has yet to prove he’s a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. At least that was head coach Kyle Shanahan’s assessment when asked if Mullens has shown No. 1-QB qualities. “I don’t know,” Shanahan said. “Being a starter — he’s got command of the offense. I think the game’s not too big for him, but I’m not going to go there yet.” At this point, it’s fair to say this: Mullens has been far better than expected. A 2017 undrafted free agent who began the season on the practice squad... Читать дальше...

Early in Wednesday’s practice, Oakland running backs went through a drill during which they carried a ball while coach Jemal Singleton jabbed at them with a boxing glove on a stick. On Thursday, the running backs dropped to the ground and popped back up while holding a ball on a string with Singleton tugging at the other end. Raiders running backs — who lost just one fumble in the season’s first 11 games — had three costly fumbles in Sunday’s 40-33 loss to Kansas City, making ball security an even stronger point of emphasis this week.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Anriel Howard scored 29 points, Teaira McCowan added 24 points and 18 rebounds, and No. 6 Mississippi State rallied to beat No. 18 Marquette 87-82 on Thursday night. Mississippi State (9-0) extended its regular-season nonconference winning streak to 45 games, but this was easily one of the toughest games during that stretch. The game was tight throughout the second half and the Bulldogs needed a late defensive stand to earn the win. Howard shot 13 of 18 from the field and grabbed 12 rebounds, while McCowan shot 9 of 12.

Three years after #OscarsSoWhite, the 2019 Golden Globes nominees are the most diverse Hollywood has ever seen. Three films by African-American directors were nominated for Best Picture, Sandra Oh’s “Killing Eve” performance and “Crazy Rich Asians” are breaking droughts for Asian-American films and actors, and Mexico’s cinematic titan, Alfonso Cuarón, has three nominations for his acclaimed drama “Roma.” “I wouldn’t say the doors have opened for diversity. I’d say diversity broke the door down,”... Читать дальше...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A prosecutor told a jury Thursday that James Alex Fields Jr. had hate and violence in his mind when he deliberately drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally, killing one woman, injuring dozens and leaving bodies strewn on the ground. As prosecutors urged jurors to find Fields guilty of first-degree murder and other felonies for the deadly August 2017 crash, his lawyers made a final attempt to convince them that Fields had plowed into the crowd out of fear.

She and the rest of the top-ranked Cardinal volleyball team are hosting the NCAA regionals this weekend as they... Читать дальше...

Charles Woodson. Rod Woodson. Aeneas Williams. Richard Sherman? On Thursday, the 49ers cornerback discussed his plan for the rest of his career and it included a potential transition from his current position to safety. It’s the same late-career move made by Woodson, Woodson and Williams, all of whom are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “It’s definitely something that I’ve looked at,” Sherman said. “And something that I’ve talked with (Charles Woodson) about.” The shift to safety, a position that doesn’t require the same quickness...

Following a year that showcased remarkable improvement and a return to the postseason, Cal and head coach Justin Wilcox have agreed to a five-year contract that will keep him in Berkeley through 2023. The lowest-paid coach in the Pac-12 at about $1.5 million per season when he was hired in 2017, Wilcox now will make an average of about $3.25 million, according to sources with knowledge of the contract. “I want to thank Chancellor (Carol) Christ and Jim Knowlton for their trust and confidence in me...

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray pulled off an impressive triple play during a brutal 30-hour stretch in April. On a Friday night, he played center field for the Sooners’ baseball team. The next day, he played quarterback in the football team’s spring game. After that, he played another baseball game Saturday night. It was a mental and physical grind for Murray, but his dedication to both sports has paid off. Two months later, the A’s selected him in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — An investigation into whether political operatives in North Carolina illegally collected and possibly stole absentee ballots in a still-undecided congressional race has drawn attention to a widespread but little-known political tool called ballot harvesting. It's a practice long used by special-interest groups and both major political parties that is viewed either as a voter service that boosts turnout or a nefarious activity that subjects voters to intimidation and makes elections vulnerable to fraud.

There’s a common adage that beautiful works of art — important art — can only come from a place of real suffering. It’s an adage that set writer-director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck on the path to his newest film, “Never Look Away,” which is based on the life of German painter Gerhard Richter. “My favorite book about filmmaking is Elia Kazan’s autobiography ‘A Life.’ He talks about his work with artistic geniuses and he says their artistic talent was the scab that formed on the wounds life...
