Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:05:08 GMT

If there’s anyone who would know all about the San Francisco 49ers and quarterback controversies, it’d be Joe Montana.The four-time Super Bowl champion and three-time Super Bowl MVP had plenty to say as he made a media blitz while promoting a new whiskey on Thursday morning, when he appeared on 95.7 The Game, KNBR and ESPN’s First Take, all in the 8 a.m. PR hour.What did the Hall of Famer who had a years-long QB saga with another Hall of Famer in Steve Young think of the 49ers’ trade of Trey Lance? Montana called it a “tough situation” but thinks it may work out for all parties involved.“I think the biggest thing for Trey is that he needs to find a place that he’s comfortable in the system, and I don’t think I ever saw a comfort level for him in that 49ers’] system,” Montana said on ESPN. “It’s a system that is played inside the pocket and he came from a system in college that always got outside and he had different reads that happened. The pocket is not a place to learn to throw fr...

By Julia Wick, Jaweed Kaleem, Christopher Reynolds and Emerson Drewes, Los Angeles TimesKIHEI, Hawaii — The line at Paia Fish Market usually extends so far down the main drag that staffers can’t see the end of it through their front window.But that hasn’t been the case as of late, with tragedy on Maui slowing foot traffic in typically busy spots to a trickle.“Today is the lowest it’s been so far,” said Lehua Jimenez, 21, a cashier at the popular restaurant in Paia — a windsurfing destination on Maui’s North Shore. “It’s continually decreasing.”Paia is half an island away from Lahaina, where the restaurant’s other location was among more than 2,000 structures destroyed in a wildfire this month. But the Paia location was seeing about a fifth of typical sales, said Jimenez. The Maui native and her co-workers were far from the only ones feeling the economic pain.The restaurant had only been open a few hours on a recent weekday and five people had already come in looking for jobs, Jimene...

Wisconsin’s new liberal Supreme Court justice hasn’t heard a case but Republicans may impeach

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:05:08 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Even before the newly elected justice who gave liberals a one-seat majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court has heard a case, Republican lawmakers are talking about taking the unprecedented step of impeaching and removing her from office.And they have the votes to do it.Republicans worry that the legislative districts they drew 12 years ago, which are widely viewed as among the most gerrymandered in the country, will be undone in one of the court’s first actions under liberal control. It’s a legitimate concern, as Democratic-friendly groups brought two lawsuits in the first week of newly elected Justice Janet Protasiewicz’s term asking the new liberal-controlled court to toss the maps.They waited to bring the challenges until after Protasiewicz started her 10-year term the the court Aug. 1, flipping majority control to 4-3 liberals for the first time in 15 years.The moves came after Protasiewicz said during her winning campaign that the maps are...
