Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco 49ers face difficult decision on Eddy Pineiro as kicking struggles threaten Super Bowl aspirations

Kyle Shanahan refused to rule out a potential kicking change after Eddy Pineiro's latest miss, leaving the 49ers with a major decision heading into their bye week. Could the San Francisco 49ers be getting a new kicker soon? I don't know if they will, but I'll tell you this much: they probably need one. Kicker Eddy Pineiro missed another extra point Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, and the questions about his job are getting louder. After the game, a reporter asked 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan whether the team would try out any kickers this week. Shanahan didn't commit either way. "I don't know, I haven't talked to anybody about that, we'll probably discuss on the plane," Shanahan said. That isn't a vote of confidence. It isn't giving Pineiro a pass either, but it leaves the door wide open. Make no mistake about it, Shanahan is not afraid to release a kicker and go get a new one.…

JJ McCarthy Ditched His Signature Eyeblack Against The Houston Texans Because He Was Lied To By Ohio State

JJ McCarthy played the best game of his NFL career against the Houston Texans on Sunday. He did not wear his signature eyeblack for only the fourth time since 2021. It was not a coincidence! There is a method to McCarthy’s madness and it dates back to high school. His college rivalry carried over to the NFL. Although the Texans’ record is not very good, the Giants have not been that much better. Sunday was an opportunity to make a statement. JJ McCarthy made his first start for New York after being traded from Minnesota. He was outstanding. The former No. 10 overall pick channeled his alter ego, Nine, and led his new team to victory. McCarthy completed 20 of his 28 pass attempts for 252 yards. Houston did not have an answer for Malik Nabers, who finished with seven catches for 111 yards. Eight different players recorded a catch. The Giants beat the Texans by six in overtime. McCarthy…

In a quiet Maryland election year, all eyes turn to Lower Shore district

In Maryland, not so much. Here in this mid-Atlantic land of Middle Temperament, there are no competitive statewide elections. Only one U.S. House race has garnered attention in recent days, but only because of Rep. Andy Harris’ (R-1st) combative behavior after a contentious public forum, but that’s unlikely to affect the outcome. The fate of the ballot measure impacting Democrats’ ability to gerrymander Harris into oblivion in a future election is uncertain. But there is no conceivable circumstance under which Democrats lose their 34-13 edge in the state Senate or their 102-39 advantage in the House of Delegates. Even with most contests a foregone conclusion, however, there are still a handful of races for state House and Senate seats this year that are considered competitive and merit attention. The hardest-fought House races are largely in subdistricts, with a smaller universe of…

Hearings begin on proposed MARL transmission line in West Virginia

The evidentiary hearing is the first of six days at the commission’s headquarters in Charleston. Proceedings are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. each day, with the first two and a half days devoted primarily to testimony from and cross-examination of NextEra witnesses before the hearing moves to intervenors and commission staff. About 64 intervenor witnesses have filed prefiled testimony, and the proceedings are scheduled to be livestreamed for the public. The commission’s current schedule calls for a decision by March 6, 2027. West Virginia regulators began six days of hearings Monday on NextEra Energy’s proposed $1.17 billion MARL transmission line, with testimony focusing on project costs, landowner compensation, economic benefits and the company’s notification process. The proposed 107.5-mile, 500-kilovolt transmission line would cross 58.9 miles of West Virginia through Monongalia…
