49ers: Brady, Manning endorse McCaffrey’s MVP case

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:54:08 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Tom Brady says his NFL MVP vote is leaning toward the 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey, who also scored an endorsement Monday night from Peyton Manning.Such backing might be what McCaffrey needs to wrestle the Associated Press’ NFL MVP award away from quarterbacks, who’ve won it 16-of-17 years since Brady captured his first in 2007.Or the 50 voters — from national media outlets — could follow McCaffrey’s own advice, which, after the 49ers’ latest win Sunday in Arizona, was to cast support behind 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, the unanimous favorite of the Las Vegas sportsbooks.The second-best odds belong to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who leads the Baltimore Ravens (11-3) into Monday night’s game at the 49ers (11-3).McCaffrey, the NFL’s rushing leader and fifth in MVP odds, made the media rounds Monday: He appeared on Brady’s “Let’s Go!” podcast and also on ESPN’s “ManningCast̶...

California looks to the health system to sustain mental health funds in schools

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:54:08 GMT

(BCN) -- To create an education system that has stable funds for mental health, California educators and leaders are turning to the health system and launching a statewide behavioral health initiative to fill funding gaps in fluctuating, sometimes unpredictable school budgets."The health systems and the education systems are not bound together successfully enough to make sure we engage in both prevention and treatment," said David Gordon, a commissioner at the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission. "That's particularly true for the most underserved communities." Woman killed on I-580 Richmond bridge identified Funding for mental health in California public schools typically has come from general education budgets, a reason funds have never been stable. As the need for more mental health services and specialists skyrockets, administrators and experts are turning to the health system to better serve needs that existing education budgets just can't cover.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:54:08 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois won’t be able to play at the European Championship next year because of the long-term knee injury that has sidelined him since the start of the season, he said Tuesday. His absence could last even longer, though, amid ongoing tensions between Courtois and national team coach Domenico Tedesco. Courtois said in an interview with Belgian broadcaster Sporza that he will not recover from surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in time for him to play at the tournament. The Euros will be hosted by Germany from June 14-July 14.“Due to the injury, there will be no European Championships for me anyway,” Courtois said. “I first have to recover the full 100% and then it is better not to put a date on it. If I’m lucky, I can play another match in May. But then you can never be 100% ready for a big tournament.”Belgium will be playing in Group E alongside Romania, Slovakia and a playoff winner sti...
