George Kittle's first impressions of 49ers rookie RB Kaelon Black: "Very fast."
Also notes Black's maturity — he's 25. Might be the most ready-to-play RB 49ers have drafted. "Seasoned" rookie theme is real, by the way: SF pointedly went for ready-made draftees with experience
GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🫵🏻🫡

Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

I am incredibly humbled & grateful for this opportunity to lead @usasports broadcast booth. They are making a huge investment in me and in the @pac12!! Really excited to help showcase this bold, new era of the conference. #BacThePac
Anthony Hopkins is the greatest actor, and an absolute joy to work with. He is the most generous, kind, and giving of himself to every colleague. When we did NIXON, I’ve never laughed more on a movie set. Just the most wonderful man.
Happy Birthday, John Taylor!
The ONLY player in NFL history with two 90+ yard scrimmage plays in a single game
In 1989, the two-time Pro Bowler's 92- and 96-yard catch-and-carry touchdown receptions from Joe Montana helped lift the #49ers to dramatic 30-27 comeback win over the Rams on MNF in Anaheim.
#FTTB's victory — their NFL-record 17th consecutive road win — clinched their fourth consecutive NFC West title and homefield throughout the playoffs.
Rogan was best known for the show Fear Factor. And, of course, a color commentator for the UFC. But he was mostly another comedian. There's absolutely nothing in his background, experience, or present-day that even hints that he has an IQ over 12, knows something about anything, and has any principles. He's another guy who used other media platforms to build his appeal and then moves into podcasting, where he rambles on about little or nothing, throws out some slogans, and so forth. He hasn't done anything noteworthy outside of entertainment. And so, that's what you get. But you can see that he has danced with some of the worst bigots and antisemites, like Dave Smith, another comedian (although nobody is familiar with him outside of the internet world), and has gone from doing the doggie paddle in the toxic swamp to the breaststroke. Now, he trashes Trump fairly regularly and attacks MAGA. Just another user and opportunist. I suspect the UFC audience much prefers Donald Trump to Joe Rogan, if it came down to it.
Bring it on ...
Health care? "You're on your own."
Housing? "Nothing we can do."
Grocery prices? "You're out of luck."
$200 billion for another war? "No problem!"
Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars.
We need to invest here at home.
People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump.
It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
