Still ahead a family in an east bay suburb says their property was vandalized with a swastika how police are responding to the incident. And hurricanes and the slams on shore in louisiana where it is headed next and to be messed talk about it next in sports 49 ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has only good things to say about the quarterback his team will try to beat sunday, rest and Russell Wilson. As sports director jason dumas hass those thoughts coming up off they all endorse yes on prop 25. To end unfair, unjust, discriminatory money bail. Governor gavin newsom and van jones. Theyre voting yes on 25. The western center on law and poverty. The Dolores Huerta foundation. Californians for safety and justice. And the California Democratic party. They all agree that the size of your wallet shouldnt determine whether or not youre in jail. So, vote yes on prop 25. For sports. Sunday marks game one of the brutal fiveweek stretch for the fortyniners. And i guess is appropriate that that fivegame stretch starts with the arch rival Seattle Seahawks the seahawks are always pretty good but this year they truly looked like a super bowl favorite. Russell wilson is likely your mvp frontrunner has been doing things like that all season long and hes leading a seattle offense that leads the nfl in both points and yards per game. It seems like pete carroll. Its finally opening that playbook for his franchise quarterback. The niners in seahawks played 2 classic games last season. The seahawks handed the niners their first loss of the season on a game winning field goal in the first matchup and then in the final game of the regular season. Dray green law maybe tackle at the goal line for the game, winning say who can forget that that game locked up the number one overall seed for the fortyniners it. You know the rest. So the niners they definitely know the challenges of playing the seahawk especially on the road. The fact that Russell Wilson is playing the best football of his career that only makes it harder. When youre an athlete like russell has, but then you have the rap city has over time and i mean going back to washington in sea state, i mean hes always been such a poise player that the game to slow motion for. When youre a player who seems like you can play in slow motion. You see so much stuff you let the game come to e a and just how long hes been doing it. I mean whether doing it read them are doing it off schedule. I seen so many different defenses hes played with so many different players and when you have the skill set he does have the mindset. He doesnt have the experience he does thats usually what happens. Right now the dodgers should be getting nothing but love yes, most people here in the bay area hate them. But winning a world series is tough and they deserve some credit. But right now this is what everyone is talking about. Thats dodgers 3rd baseman justin turner. He was removed from the game after the 7th inning after he was told he tested positive for covid19. Once the dodgers won he returned to the field and celebrated with his teammates even removed his mask knowing he has the coronavirus it sends a message that celebrating a championship is more important than other People Safety and setting an example even if you ignore the fact that the dodgers let him play with an inconclusive test result the optics of it all still look really bad. The mlb address the situation in a statement today. This is part of that statement put out by the league. While it desire to celebrate is understandable turners decision to leave isolation and entered the field was wrong and put everyone he came in contact with at risk when mlb security raised the matter on being of the fall on the field with turner he emphatically refused to comply. Now thats just part of the mlb statement theyre bringing on a full investigation and i expect some penalties to be brought down swiftly well let you know how it all goes forward with we get 100 beef and hearty chili. Try my 5. 99 chili cheeseburger combo. Its pretty delicious. Try my 5. 99 woman after covid, my hours got so we cant pay our bills. And now our Family Budget is gonna be hit hard with prop 15.
