SANTA CLARA — Oren Burks demonstrated what it meant to be in the right place at the right time on the 49ers’ Thanksgiving night win in Seattle, jumping on a fumble by punt return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud when an eventual 31-13 win was still in doubt.But another player considered one of the best in the NFL as a core special teamer will be out for the foreseeable future in George Odum, a reserve safety who who parlayed his skill on special teams to a three-year, $9 million contract before the 2022 season.Odum went on injured reserve after sustaining a torn biceps against Seattle. He said on his Instagram account he played on playing again this season, but that would probably necessitate a deep run into the playoffs as he recovers from surgery.“I’ll be back on the field this year!,” Odum wrote.But Odum won’t be available Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, the first time he’s missed a game since joining the 49ers.

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:50:59 GMT

Mackenzie Blackwood will not be starting in net for the San Jose Sharks on Friday when they play the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center.That’s just fine with Blackwood, who has kept his eye on the big picture rather than any special homecoming. Blackwood played his first five seasons in the NHL with the Devils after he was drafted by the team in 2015.“It’s just another game, really,” Blackwood said Friday morning. “Obviously, I spent a lot of time here, so it’ll be nice to see some of the guys I played with before. But other than that, it’ll probably be interesting for me to see the rink from the other side.”Blackwood said the Sharks’ coaches came to him about a month ago and asked him whether he wanted to start against his former team. The 6-foot-4 goalie said he didn’t have strong feelings about it one way or another, so the Sharks started him Thursday night against the Boston Bruins and will have Kaapo Kahkonen go tonight against the Devils, who have won three strai...

Lawsuit: Santa Rosa school failed to help slain student Jayden Pienta

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:50:59 GMT

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (KRON) -- When 16-year-old Jayden Pienta was bleeding to death at Montgomery High School, school staff members failed to help him, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of Pienta's parents. Pienta's death at school was "tragic and preventable," attorney Michael Henderson wrote in the lawsuit filed in Sonoma County Superior Court in September. A 15-year-old freshman stabbed Pienta multiple times inside an art classroom in front of dozens of students and their teacher on March 1. Earlier this week in juvenile criminal court, a judge ruled that Pienta was the aggressor of the fight, "orchestrated" the art classroom attack, and the freshman who stabbed him was "not responsible" for manslaughter. Judge Ken Gnoss also took issue with Pienta entering "the sanctity of a school classroom where (the freshman) was told he would be safe," the Press Democrat reported.In contrast, the civil lawsuit blames school authorities for not expelling the freshman despite...
