Instant analysis of 49ers’ 27-14 home-sweet-home win over Bucs

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 13:31:05 GMT

SANTA CLARA – Now that the 49ers emphatically held serve on their home field, they’ll look to parlay Sunday’s 27-14 win over Tampa Bay into more success entering this season’s most daunting stretch.They certainly are in prime shape for it, judging from quarterback Brock Purdy’s statistically impressive air show, running back Christian McCaffrey’s rediscovered scoring knack and the defense’s prowess that might have to forge ahead without safety Talanoa Hufanga.For the second straight season, the 49ers (7-3) have just a four-day turnaround after playing the Bucs before visiting the Seattle Seahawks, this time for a Thanksgiving night affair with first place on the line. After that comes an NFC Championship Game rematch Dec. 3 at the conference-leading Philadelphia Eagles, before a Dec. 10 return to Levi’s Stadium to face the Seahawks and possibly decide the NFC West.The Bucs (4-6) offered a nice tune-up, especially for Purdy, who won his starting debut against them and Tom Brady...

Overturning of ban potentially a non-factor in reduction of single use plastics

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 13:31:05 GMT

A Federal Court judge ruled on Thursday that the federal government’s blanket ban of single use plastics was unconstitutional, but the changes may already be underway. The designation of all “plastic manufactured items” being toxic was determined to be too broad by Justice Angela Furlanetto, but many experts say the ban of most of these products would hold up against legal scrutiny.Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has already said the Canadian government is strongly considering an appeal, and with the ban on certain items already coming into effect as of nearly a year ago, certain changes may remain regardless of a court decision. Dr. Myra Hird, a professor in Queen’s School of Environmental Studies, said the overturning of the ban isn’t surprising but it really may not make a difference in the effort to reduce single use plastics. She says Canada’s Bill S-5 receiving Royal Assent in June means that this recent overturning won’t necessarily bring ...
