49ers’ Deebo Samuel on scoring spree as Ravens come to town for Christmas

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:13:36 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Deebo Samuel acknowledges he’s in the most productive stretch of his 49ers career, scoring more touchdowns than even Christian McCaffrey over the past four games.“It’s just crazy, because every time I get the ball, I try to score,” Samuel said Thursday. “It’s just tending to happen a lot right now.”Not that the 49ers are lacking points from others, but Samuel’s goal-line gumption could prove critical Monday when the 49ers (11-3) host the Baltimore Ravens (11-3), in a matchup pitting teams currently atop their respective conference standings, with three weeks until the playoffs.San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (19) makes a touchdown catch against Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (24) and cornerback Brandon Carr in the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019, in Baltimore, Md.

Experts: Israel’s campaign in Gaza is most destructive in history

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:13:36 GMT

By Julia Frankel | Associated PressJERUSALEM — The Israeli military campaign in Gaza, experts say, now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history.In just over two months, the offensive has wreaked more destruction than the razing of Syria’s Aleppo between 2012 and 2016, Ukraine’s Mariupol or, proportionally, the Allied bombing of Germany in World War II. It has killed more civilians than the U.S.-led coalition did in its three-year campaign against the Islamic State group.The Israeli military has said little about what kinds of bombs and artillery it is using in Gaza. But from blast fragments found on-site and analyses of strike footage, experts are confident that the vast majority of bombs dropped on the besieged enclave are U.S.-made. They say the weapons include 2,000-pound (900-kilogram) “bunker-busters” that have killed hundreds in densely populated areas.With the Palestinian death toll in Gaza approaching 20,000, the international communit...

MLB is widening the runner’s lane to first, changing a rule that has caused World Series controversy

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:13:36 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is widening the runner’s lane approaching first base to include a portion of fair territory, changing a more than century-old rule that caused World Series controversy over interference calls.MLB also is shortening the pitch clock with runners on base by two seconds to 18 and further reducing mound visits in an effort to speed games.Another change adopted Thursday by the sport’s 11-man competition committee requires a pitcher who warms up on the mound before a half inning to face at least one batter. The new runner’s lane overrides a rule that has existed since the National League mandated in 1882 that runners must be within the 3-foot box on the foul side of the base line during the final 45 feet between home and first. Violators were subject to being called out for interfering with fielders taking a throw. The rule was designed to prevent collisions; foul lines intersected the middle of bases until the bags were moved entirel...
