Purdy’s success could open door for other QBs in NFL draft

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:15:43 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jake Haener bristles when asked about the obvious comparison to fellow experienced but undersized quarterback Brock Purdy.“I just feel like Brock is different. I’m different. There’s different things that we do in our games,” said Haener, the former Fresno State star. “Brock did a lot of really good things. Super happy for him and his family. But at the same time, I’m on my own mission, on my own train and trying to do something for a franchise that believes in me.”Purdy’s presence hovers over this year’s draft class after the overlooked quarterback who got tabbed with the “Mr. Irrelevant” moniker after being drafted with the final pick last year developed into a gem who won his first seven starts and helped the San Francisco 49ers make it to the NFC championship game.Purdy’s surprising performance as a rookie could open the door for more teams to be willing to take a late-round chance in next week’s draft on other successful colleg...

Rep. Jones brings infant-sized casket into Tennessee Capitol

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:15:43 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The recently reinstated Rep. Justin Jones carried an infant-sized casket into Tennessee’s Capitol as protesters calling for gun safety legislation outside the Capitol were blocked from bringing caskets inside. After passing troopers and security, Jones was then barred from bringing the casket onto the House floor, briefly passing it off at the doorway to fellow Rep. Justin Pearson, who was also recently reinstated.Demonstrators led by Bishop William Barber II had marched in Nashville on Monday, demanding that lawmakers pass the gun safety legislation and stop using their authority to trample democracy. They carried several caskets symbolizing those lost to gun violence on Monday. “The legislators are back, but returning duly elected lawmakers to their seat does not solve the problem,” Barber said, demanding that lawmakers “stop committing policy murder.”The fatal shooting of six people at a Nashville private school last month kicked off a stream of call...

McConnell: GOP will not support replacing Feinstein on panel

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:15:43 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that Republicans won’t allow Democrats to temporarily replace California Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Judiciary Committee, arguing that they only want a stand-in to push through the most partisan judges.McConnell called the effort to place a substitute on the panel as Feinstein recovers from a case of shingles “an extremely unusual” request with no known precedent.“Let’s be clear,” said McConnell in remarks on the Senate floor. “Senate Republicans will not take part in sidelining a temporarily absent colleague off a committee just so Democrats can force through their very worst nominees.”Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said that he is moving forward and hopes to put a resolution on the Senate floor this week to ask for unanimous consent to appoint a temporary substitute. But it is likely to be blocked, and it is unclear if Democrats would hold a roll call vote.Feinstein, 89, has been absent fro...
