Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:52:52 GMT

SANTA CLARA — A right quadriceps injury will keep Jake Moody out of the 49ers’ preseason finale tonight at Levi’s Stadium, six days after he kicked a walk-off field goal in his home debut for a 21-20 home win over the Denver Broncos.Moody, a third-round draft pick, sustained the injury to his kicking leg in practice earlier this week, the latest hiccup in a rocky start to his career.Moody’s injury turns over the kicking duties, at least for tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, to Zane Gonzalez, whom the 49ers acquired five months ago via trade from the Carolina Panthers.It’s unknown how serious Moody’s injury is or how long he’ll need to recover; he is listed as day-to-day, according to a team spokesman. Ironically, Gonzalez missed all of last season with the Panthers after injuring a quadriceps muscle warming up for the Panthers’ preseason finale.San Francisco 49ers’ Jake Moody during NFL football training camp...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:52:52 GMT

With his mug-shot post racking up almost 90 million views in under nine hours, Trump shared a link to his 2024 campaign website.

Recipe: Peach cobbler is a delicious late summer dessert

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:52:52 GMT

Some like it hot. I do — at least when it comes to summer dessert. Warm fruit finales are comfort food at their irresistible best.Don’t get me wrong. When temperatures soar, I think cold entrees are the ticket. But a warm, sweet finish to the meal makes it cozy. So just before we sit down to dine on a cold-plate special, I slip a fruit-laden delicacy into the oven. Usually, it’s ready to eat at just about the time the last dinner dish is loaded into the dishwasher. Capped with a scoop of ice cream or a crown of whipped cream, peach cobbler is a favorite.This American deep-dish fruit dessert has a rich, biscuit-type topping baked on top of the fruit. Peaches are delicious, and blueberries can be added if you like. Add a smaller amount of the berries than peaches, such as five cups of sliced peaches and two cups of blueberries.Peach CobblerServes 8INGREDIENTS9 medium-size ripe yellow-flesh peaches2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice1/2 cup granulated sugar1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour...
