Ricky Pearsall's journey from gunshot wound to 49ers' key receiver

Washington Post2 days ago
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Ricky Pearsall's rookie season for the San Francisco 49ers never really got off the ground.
Nagging injuries kept him out of almost all of training camp and then he was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt by a 17-year-old in San Francisco about a week before the start of the season

Atalanta will meet for Muniz and Mateta in striker search

Atalanta are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Fulham centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz, with a meeting also planned for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to Sky Sport Italia, 24-year-old Muniz is increasingly seen as the hot favourite to reinforce the attack in Bergamo following Mateo Retegui's record breaking transfer to Al-Qadsiyah. The Brazilian found the net 11 times with two assists in the Premier League last season and his contract only runs to June 2026, although the club does have an option to extend by another year. Formerly of Flamengo, Muniz made the €8m transfer to Fulham in 2021. Muniz and Mateta on Atalanta radar CRAWLEY, ENGLAND – JULY 25: Jean-Phillipe Mateta of Crystal Palace looks on during the pre-season friendly match between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace at Broadfield Stadium on July 25, 2025 in Crawley, England. (Photo by) Sky Sport Italia also warn that Atalanta directors might use the trip to England to have other meetings too, specifically with Crystal Palace. This is because Mateta is seen as another alternative for the attack, even after the reported €34.7m proposal was rejected. He recently turned 28 and had an impressive 14 goals with two assists in 37 Premier League appearances last term.

Texas Dems Flee Like Cowards And Ditch Their Duties; Abbott Orders Troopers To Arrest Them

One day after Texas House Democrats fled the state in a bid to stop redistricting, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state troopers to arrest them. 'I ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans,' Abbott said in an August 4 press release. 'This order will remain in effect until all missing Democrat House members are accounted for and brought to the Texas Capitol.' Abbott said the absent House Democrats were holding up 'critical legislation' for flood victims and property tax relief. The Democrats fled the state Sunday, attempting to stall a vote on the upcoming Republican-friendly redistricting. Abbott signed the order to 'ensure compliance' with Republican Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows, he said. Burrows announced civil arrest warrants for the absent Democrats earlier that afternoon. 'They've left the state, abandoned their posts, and turned their backs on the constituents they swore to represent,' Burrows said in the chamber. 'I will immediately sign the warrants for the civil arrest of the members who have said they will not be here.' Burrows previously warned that if the Democrats did not return, 'all options will be on the table.' Attorney General Ken Paxton said on August 3 that he supports their 'immediate arrest.' 'To those who are absent – return now. Show the courage to face the issues you were elected to solve. Come back and fulfill your duty,' Burrows said when announcing the warrants. 'Because this House will not sit quietly while you obstruct the work of the people.'

AG Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama officials over Trump-Russia 2016 collusion investigation

Attorney General Pam Bondi convened a grand jury investigation centered around the 'Russiagate' probe on Monday, the latest bid by Donald Trump to wage war against Barack Obama for the FBI investigation of his first presidential campaign. The direction by Bondi does not mean that charges for Obama or members of his team are imminent. Instead, the move allows prosecutors to issue embarrassing subpoenas and gather testimony, while launching a fishing expedition. It's still unclear what crimes members of the Trump administration believe were specifically committed regarding the investigation into the ties between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia. Tulsi Gabbard's ODNI memo is the only document publicly alleging any wrongdoing by members of the Obama administration surrounding the investigation, which a previous DoJ review led by John Durham already probed. This is a breaking news story. More to follow...
