(AP) — Getting blown out at Green Bay following another squandered late lead the previous week against Seattle has quickly turned the San Francisco 49ers from a Super Bowl contender into a team just fighting to get back to the playoffs. If San Francisco doesn’t get healthy and eliminate the errors that led to Sunday’s 38-10 loss to the Packers, the focus will turn from playoff permutations to what offseason changes are necessary. “I think everyone understands completely outside and inside what the situation is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “That’s why the Seattle game was so tough of a loss and that’s why last night was even worse. We know what we got ahead of us. We know exactly what the playoff situation is. That is what it is. But really, all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that.” The task doesn’t get any easier as the Niners (5-6) get set to play at Buffalo on Sunday night. The 49ers are hoping to get injured stars Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa and Trent Williams back for that game, but their presence alone won’t fix everything that went wrong on Sunday. The defense got repeatedly gashed early and put San Francisco in a 17-0 hole before the offense even generated a first down. The running game never got going as Christian McCaffrey has looked nothing like the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year in his three games back from Achilles tendinitis. And whenever the Niners appeared to do something right, a penalty came back to haunt them. It added up to the most lopsided loss for San Francisco since the 2018 season, before Shanahan had turned the Niners into perennial contenders. “It’s probably one of the worst ones I’ve been a part of,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “It is embarrassing. You’ve got to take it on the chin, take it like a man and move on.” Despite the doom and gloom, the 49ers are only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West standings with six games to go. But San Francisco already has three division losses and a difficult schedule featuring games against the Bills this week and Detroit in Week 17. “My optimism is not broken by any means,” tight end George Kittle said. “We still have a lot of very talented players. We will get some guys back and I still have full trust in the coaching staff to put our guys in position to make plays. I have no worry about that. But definitely an uphill grind. We’ll see what we’re made of, which I’m looking forward to.” What’s working Red-zone passes to Kittle. Backup QB Brandon Allen connected on a 3-yard TD pass to Kittle late in the second quarter for San Francisco’s only TD. Kittle leads the NFL with eight touchdown catches in the red zone, which is tied with Vernon Davis (2013) for the most in a season for a Niners player since 2000. Kittle was the only consistent part of the San Francisco offense with six catches for 82 yards. What needs help Avoiding penalties. San Francisco had nine penalties for 77 yards and they were costly and sloppy. The Niners had 12 men on the field on defense on back-to-back plays, three false starts, a pass interference in the end zone and three penalties on special teams, including a holding on Eric Saubert that negated an 87-yard kickoff return by Deebo Samuel to open the second half. Rookie Dominick Puni had three penalties after being penalized just once in the first 10 games. Stock up DE Leonard Floyd. There were few positive performances on defense, but Floyd had both of the team’s sacks. Stock down Run defense. San Francisco allowed 169 yards rushing, including 87 in the first quarter for the team’s second-worst performance in the opening quarter since 1991. The Niners missed 19 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, as Josh Jacobs gained 83 of his 106 yards rushing after contact. Injuries Purdy took part in a light throwing session without pain on Monday and Shanahan is hopeful he can return to practice Wednesday after missing the Green Bay game with a shoulder injury. ... Bosa (hip, oblique) and Williams (ankle) also could return this week after sitting out Sunday. ... LG Aaron Banks, DT Jordan Elliott and WR Jacob Cowing all in the concussion protocol. ... RG Dominick Puni (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. ...

The Morningside University football team welcomed Siouxland's first snow of the season Saturday with a lopsided 35-0 victory over MidAmerica Nazarene in the second round of the NAIA Football Championship Series. As the snow painted the field at Elwood Olsen Stadium the Mustangs relied on bolstering runs from running back Max Hough, who refused to meet the turf, and their swarming defense to pile on the visiting Pioneers. Morningside's Isaac Pingel (39) brings down a Pioneer ball carrier in the Mustangs' 35-0 win over Mid America Nazarene in a second round matchup of the NAIA Football Championship Series on Saturday, November 29, 2024 in Sioux City, IA.. Logan Shanks While MidAmerica Nazarene struggled all day to find its footing on offense, with the pressure from the Mustangs not helping in the frozen tundra, running back Max Hough had no issues. “Wasn’t too bad after you clean your shoes off,” Hough said. The sophomore tailback finished the game with 149 rushing yards, including three scores on the ground to lead the Mustangs offense to their commanding win over the Pioneers. He consistently shook off Pioneer defenders and made moves in open space to extend runs, finishing the game averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Hough was named the most games most outstanding offensive player, coming up in a big for the Mustangs who were in search for their first postseason win since 2022. He ripped off touchdown runs of 23 and 13 to go along with his longest run of the day which came in the third quarter. “[MidAmerican Nazarene] were coming down hard and when our o-line picked up like they did it just made big holes that were easy to see,” Hough said. Injuries to the running back room propelled Hough up the depth chart at the midway point of the season, with his performances backing the trust of his teammates and coaches. Morningside's Isaac Pingel (39) brings down a Pioneer ball carrier in the Mustangs' 35-0 win over Mid America Nazarene in a second round matchup of the NAIA Football Championship Series on Saturday, November 29, 2024 in Sioux City, IA.. Logan Shanks “[Hough] starts the season he is our fourth running back,” Morningside head coach Steve Ryan said. “All of a sudden here he is at the end of the year and he is probably a 1,000 yard back now and he’s got all those touchdowns. You always talk about next man up and all those things and [Hough] has really stepped up.” Following Saturday's second round 'snowdown', Hough eclipsed the millennium mark with 1,051 rushing yards and a dozen touchdowns in 11 games. “It feels good to just be on the field,” Hough said. “Stepping up, I knew I could do it. Team was very supportive too a long the way, offensive line makes it easy too.” Morningside Zack Chevalier (15) uncorks a pass in the Mustangs' 35-0 win against Mid America Nazarene in a second round matchup of the NAIA Football Championship Series on Saturday, November 29, 2024 in Sioux City, IA.. Chevalier finished the day 18-32 for 186 yards and one touchdown. Logan Shanks While Hough was complimented by gunslinging redshirt junior quarterback Zack Chevalier, who finished the game completing 56% of his passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, the Mustangs faced offensive lulls. Despite leading just 14-0 at halftime, the game felt more in control of Morningside thanks to its shatterproof defense that continued to halt the Pioneers. MidAmerica Nazarene was stuffed on seven of its eight third down attempts in the first half and finished the game a combined 3-for-22 on third and fourth downs. Coming out of halftime, it felt like Morningside was a second late to forcing a mistake off of Pioneers quarterback Adrian Parsons. Its front seven had been forcing him out of the pocket, and the secondary was not letting up big plays, but a big play was needed to put the game decisively in favor of the Mustangs. First team all-Great Plains Athletic Conference defensive back Dijion Walls saw his opportunity on the Pioneers debut drive of the second half and didn't let it go to waste. Parsons zipped a ball from the Mustangs six-yard line down the middle of the field, where Walls caught the ball in stride and marched down the field. “I just looked at the quarterback,” Walls said. “I know that probably what I wasn’t supposed to do but I seen the ball and I went to go make a play.” Mustang defensive back Dijion Walls (6) picks off a pass and returns it 100 yards for a touchdown in Morningside's 35-0 victory over Mid America Nazarene in a second round matchup of the NAIA Football Championship Series on Saturday, November 29, 2024 in Sioux City, IA.. Logan Shanks A program record 100-yards later, Walls returned the ball to the opposite endzone to put the Mustangs up 21-0 to heavily swing momentum in his team's favor. “I thought that was the play of the game,” Ryan said. “We came out and we sputtered on that first drive and they took it all the way down. To make that interception in the endzone and take it 100 yards was really exciting to see.” Walls now sits with seven interceptions on the season and continues to come up big for Morningside's secondary which held the usually elite Parsons to 183 yards and two picks. “[Walls] likes the big moment,” Ryan said. “It is part of the nature of being the corner. He always draws the toughest assignments. He just loves those opportunities, he lives for those opportunities. He stepped up big today.” The energizing pick-six from Walls was the highlight of Morningside's lockdown defensive performance, which benefited heavily from 7.5 tackles for loss and five quarterback hits. The Mustangs clinched their fourth straight game allowing fewer than 10 points and look to keep up their stonewall ways in the quarterfinals. “They kept playing,” Ryan said. “They didn’t give up big plays on defense and kept them out of the offense.” “This is a huge one but we are on to the next one,” Walls said.

Donald Trump Jr. isn’t trying to hide his slimy cheating habits now that his dad has been elected, according to recent reports. Rumors have been circulating for months now that Donald Trump’s eldest son son has ditched his fiancé, former Fox News host and MAGA activist Kimberly Guilfoyle, for a blonde, Palm Beach “it girl.” Tabloids snagged photos of Don Jr. holding hands with Bettina Anderson this week as the two hit the town in celebration of the socialite’s birthday. According to the gossip rags, Don Jr. spent the night at Anderson’s lavish estate, which they note is right down the street from his father’s Mar-a-Lago estate. While reports of his latest romance first surfaced in August , Don Jr. and Guilfoyle made sure to keep up appearances the following month —possibly to keep the scandal from making headlines amid his daddy’s reelection campaign. However, following the felon-elect’s win against Kamala Harris, the Trump family took a photo with billionaire bestie Elon Musk, notably without Guilfoyle at Don Jr.’s side. Neither Guilfoyle nor Don Jr. have publicly addressed this supposed tryst, but tabloids allege that Guilfoyle knowingly turned a blind eye to her (ex?)fiancée’s extracurricular activities. “ Kimberly either didn't know about Bettina—or didn't want to know. Did she hear whispers that Don Jr. was fooling around with someone else? Probably,” a source alleged to the Daily Mail in September. Despite Don Jr. ditching Guilfoyle for another woman, she continues to post content promoting her suspected ex and his felon father. After all, being cheated on by the man whose daddy she so heavily campaigned for would be quite the humiliation. Don Jr.’s lack of fidelity—seemingly on-brand for the Trump family—was also a factor in the dissolution of the MAGActivist’s previous marriage to Vanessa Trump. As some might recall, Junior made quite a stir when pop singer Aubrey O’Day spilled the details on her affair with the married man. O’Day claimed that the two even hooked up in the bathroom of a gay club where she was performing—an interesting turn of events given Don Jr.’s past homophobic comments . "It’s a huge f—ing club, and everybody’s in a g-string or less,” O’Day told People Magazine. “I was just, in my soul, like, ‘There is no way the man that I’ve seen suited-up for the past couple months is going to show up to see me in this lovely land that I get to be in,’ and he did.” Interestingly, Don Jr.’s supposed new girlfriend has a friendship with his ex-wife. Daily Kos was able to identify an ongoing social media relationship between the two, with cute comments and heart and kissy-face emojis spread across their social media accounts. A screenshot from Bettina Anderson’s Instagram page. So, it’s safe to assume that Anderson—who likely runs in the same circles as the Trumps—is well aware of Don Jr.’s shady past relationships. With Don Jr. and Guilfoyle both set to appear at Turning Point USA’s upcoming America Fest 2024 , any interaction between them is sure to be closely scrutinized.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? BOSTON (AP) — A judge has set a date of Oct. 20, 2025, for the trial of a Massachusetts man charged with killing his wife. Brian Walshe faces first-degree murder, misleading a police investigation and other charges in the death of his wife, Ana Walshe, whose body has never been recovered. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Walshe, dressed in a suit and his wrists in handcuffs, appeared Monday in Norfolk Superior Court before Judge Diane Freniere, who recently took over the case. Walshe’s defense team is seeking documents related to the handling of two other cases by Norfolk County investigators — including the Karen Read murder trial and the alleged killing of Sandra Birchmore by a Stoughton, Massachusetts, detective Matthew Farwell. Freniere didn’t rule Monday. Defense attorneys are specifically seeking emails and text messages from the lead investigator on the Karen Read case, Trooper Michael Proctor, who helped lead the investigations that resulted in the arrests of both Walshe and Read. Proctor, who was relieved of duty, revealed he’d sent vulgar texts to colleagues and family, calling Read a “whack job” and telling his sister he wished Read would “kill herself.” He said his emotions had gotten the better of him. Prosecutors have said some of the information sought by defense attorneys is privileged or exempt because of a pending federal prosecution. Ana Walshe, who is originally from Serbia, was last seen early on Jan. 1, 2023 following a New Year’s Eve dinner at her Massachusetts home with her husband and a family friend, prosecutors said.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Brian Walshe said she was called back to Washington, D.C., on New Year’s Day for a work emergency. He didn’t contact her employer until Jan. 4. The company — the first to notify police that Ana Walshe was missing — said there was no emergency, prosecutors said. Prosecutors have said that starting Jan. 1 and for several days after, Brian Walshe made multiple online searches for “dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body,” “how long before a body starts to smell” and “hacksaw best tool to dismember.” Prosecutors have also said that Ana Walshe had taken out $2.7 million in life insurance naming her husband as the sole beneficiary. Walshe was also sentenced earlier this year to more than three years behind bars over an unrelated art fraud case involving the sale of two fake Andy Warhol paintings. He was ordered to pay $475,000 in restitution. Walshe’s scheme, prosecutors said, started with his selling the two original Warhol paintings in 2011 to a gallery. From there, he obtained replicas of the paintings in 2015 and sold those to a buyer in France before trying to sell the two fake abstracts on eBay. Advertisement Advertisement

Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road.WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s public justification of his decision to pardon his son — accusing the Justice Department of political targeting — threatens to undermine the image he carefully cultivated through decades in politics as an honest broker whose principal loyalty was to protecting the sanctity of critical U.S. institutions. Biden’s 180-degree turn on pardoning his son led Republicans to accuse the president of lying to the public ahead of the election only to reverse course after the political stakes disappeared. The White House provided scant justification for the reversal, offering merely that Biden changed his mind after “wrestling” with the decision over a Thanksgiving holiday spent partly with his son.
