49ers’ Colton McKivitz has a Bosa-like challenge in Steelers’ Watt

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 16:19:13 GMT

SANTA CLARA — With time at a bare minimum going into the opener, Colton McKivitz will have to settle for getting in some work against Maxx Crosby as opposed to Nick Bosa.McKivitz steps in as the starting right tackle Sunday against the host Pittsburgh Steelers, and while he’ll have some help in terms of additional blockers, it will be his responsibility to put his body between edge rusher T.J. Watt and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.Having grown up in Jacobsburg, Ohio, about 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, McKivitz will have friends and family present.“It’s a great way to start. Having joint practices with the Raiders and seeing Maxx was really helpful,” McKivitz said. “I’ve had this one circled. It’s going to be a homecoming for me and I’m excited to go against the best they have to offer.”Watt is the most formidable Steelers defender as an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense.

Editorial: Nix last-minute California wildfire insurance bailout scheme

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 16:19:13 GMT

For months, lawmakers, regulators, the insurance commissioner and the governor sat on their hands while the state’s wildfire insurance market became a full-blown crisis for tens of thousands of Californians.The governor and the Legislature could have proposed bills initiating a transparent process that would have allowed the public to vet legislation through widespread debate.Now, lawmakers are trying to push through a last-minute deal without public input that could bail out insurers at the expense of Californians. It also threatens to violate the spirit of Proposition 103, the 1988 insurance reform measure that outlawed price-gouging, saving policy-holders billions of dollars.It’s an outrageous flaunting of the political process. Californians deserve better.Proponents are expected to unveil their legislation in the next few days, using the egregious, sleazy “gut and amend” process, in which a dormant bill is pulled to the floor in the last days of a legisla...
