Peter Sblendorio | New York Daily NewsColin Kaepernick reached out to the Jets about a spot on their practice squad following fellow quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles tear, according to a letter shared by rapper J.

LIVERMORE — Bay Area motorists worried that they’re targets for criminals looking to steal their catalytic converters drove to a Livermore college Tuesday to have the valuable car part tagged with traceable identification information and law enforcement insignia.The anti-theft etching event — the fourth one of its kind hosted by Livermore police and the automotive department at Las Positas College over the past year — drew dozens of drivers whose catalytic converters were marked with their license plate numbers and spray-painted with the Livermore Police Department badge logo.The purpose, Livermore police Officer Taylor Burruss said, is to deter would-be thieves who spot the police logo and make the car part traceable back to its owner if recovered by law enforcement. In some cases, a recovered part can be returned and reinstalled. In others, identified victims can help the authorities pursue charges. Burruss recalled at least three cases where etching helped...

Pac-12 collapse: Washington president says $500 million counteroffer to ESPN would have been “stupid,” doubts it ever happened

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:38 GMT

Washington president Ana Mari Cauce took issue with the notion that the Pac-12’s media rights negotiations with ESPN collapsed because the university presidents believed the conference was worth $50 million per school, or a whopping $500 million annually.Instead, Cauce said the $50 million figure was discussed last year as a target for the total revenue distributions to the campuses — meaning it would have included payouts from the College Football Playoff, the NCAA Tournament and the media rights deal.“In some models, it was possible for some schools to get $50 million,” Cauce told the Hotline in an interview earlier this month. “But at no time did anyone think we could all get $50 million in media rights. That would have been stupid.”Cauce explained that after the announced departures of USC and UCLA (in June 2022), commissioner George Kliavkoff told the 10 remaining presidents that 30 percent of the conference’s media valuation “just walked out the door.&#...

California has 6 of the most-valuable housing markets in US

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:38 GMT

California is home to a half-dozen of the nation’s most valuable housing markets.The total value of US housing rose more than $2.6 trillion in the past year to just under $52 trillion – up $1.1 trillion from housing’s previous value peak of June 2022, Zillow said in a new report.Those gains defy predictions that higher borrowing costs would lead to a prolonged slump. Low levels of supply, enhanced by the lock-in effect — which has left current mortgage borrowers reluctant to give up their low-cost loans — have pushed nationwide prices to a new high. The rise in the sum of Zillow’s estimated value for every US home was tied to a 0.7% rise in the average price plus a surge in new construction.At the top of the metro area rankings were six California markets …Los Angeles-Orange County: No. 2 in the US at $3.7 trillion, up $3 billion or 0.1% since the June 2022 housing peak.San Francisco: No. 3 at $1.8 trillion, down $176 billion or 9% since June 2022.San Diego: No. 9 at $994 billion...
