Beyonce said you won't break her soul, but she never said you won't break her water. That's exactly what happened with actress Sarah Francis Jones. Both she and her partner, actor Marcel Spears, attended Queen Bey's birthday show on Monday at SoFi Stadium when she suddenly went into labor as soon as the "Cuff It" singer hit the stage. Diana Ross sings ‘Happy Birthday’ to Beyonce at SoFi Stadium "I think it was right after the mute challenge," Jones said. "Everybody went mute. L.A. did very well ... and then I started having contractions."Sarah Francis Jones and Marcel Spears welcomed their baby girl just hours after Jones went into labor during the Beyonce concert at SoFi Stadium on Monday.This caught the couple by surprise as the baby girl wasn't due for a few more days.

"Usually I like to dance at the concert and I ...

Oakland A’s players are intriguing; it’s too bad ownership ostracized fans who would care

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:26:57 GMT

OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are three losses away from their third 100-loss season since the team moved out West 55 years ago. But through the historic lows are glimmers of promise that showed up in the A’s 5-2 sweep-preventing win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon in front of a crowd of 3,871.It’s unfair to ask Oakland fans to care about the up-and-coming players that populate this A’s roster. Team owner John Fisher has, since buying the team in 2005, not only ripped beloved players from them, but is on the precipice of ripping their team right out of Oakland.The new crop of budding core — Zack Gelof, Lawrence Butler, Tyler Soderstrom — labeled themselves “New Oakland,” but a relocation will have them playing anywhere from a minor league stadium in Las Vegas to San Francisco or a desolate Coliseum while a new Las Vegas ballpark is built.The ties between fan and player are already severed beyond repair.

By Lindsay Whitehurst | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors plan to seek a grand jury indictment of President Joe Biden’s son Hunter before the end of the month, according to court documents filed Wednesday.The filing came in a gun possession case in which Hunter Biden was accused of having a firearm while being a drug user, though prosecutors did not name which charges they will seek. He has also been under investigation by federal prosecutors for his business dealings.U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, newly named a special counsel in the case, referred to seeking an indictment before Sept. 29 in a status report required by Judge Maryellen Noreika.Defense attorneys, for their part, said Hunter Biden has kept to the terms of their original agreement with prosecutors on the gun charge. That calls for sparing him from prosecution if he stays clean and out of trouble for two years, and his lawyer argued it remains in force. Prosecutors disagreed.That agreement,...

METAIRIE, La. — New Orleans Saints rookie reserve quarterback Jake Haener has been suspended for the first six games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancers, a league spokesman said Wednesday.Despite showing promise during the preseason, Haener, a Danville native and former Monte Vista High School standout, was not expected to play this season.

Kurtenbach: The 49ers finally paid Nick Bosa because you can’t put a price on a Super Bowl

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:26:57 GMT

The 49ers gave Nick Bosa everything he wanted in his new mega contract.In return, the Niners will receive the NFL’s best defensive player for the next six seasons — the peak of his career.Sounds like a fair deal to me.The 49ers and the 25-year-old reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year have reportedly agreed on a five-year, $170 million extension with a whopping $122.5 million guaranteed. There’s no word yet on if he received any of the sinks in Levi’s Stadium as part of this new deal, which will, starting next season, make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. The new contract also ends Bosa’s 44-day holdout.Now, was it wise for the 49ers to effectively wait until the last moment to pay their superstar player?No. It was unbecoming for the organization and general manager John Lynch, who should have wrapped up this record-setting deal months ago. The Niners made a saga out of something relatively straightforward by trying to press leverage th...
