The San Jose State Spartans took the field Saturday night and whether they knew it or not, they had the absolute loyalty of the 1990 team at their backs.Absolute loyalty. Two words introduced to them as young men, two words that became a mantra that carried those Spartans through the 1990 season, two words that still bind them tightly 33 years later.“Whenever we text each other,” said Ralph Martini, the quarterback of the 1990 team, “the last words are always ‘absolute loyalty.’”San Jose State quarterback Ralph Martini shows off a text proving he and his 1990 football teammates still use the “absolute loyalty” mantra to this day.

The massive convergence of world and corporate leaders on San Francisco for this week’s Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering offers a welcome boost — but also some risk — for Democratic Party leaders from President Joe Biden to Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor London Breed.All three have seen their popularity sag in recent polls amid mixed economic signals, troubles abroad and domestic woes from crime to homelessness, while the host city itself has seen its spectacular vistas, cable cars and sourdough eclipsed by news reports of rampant retail thefts, car break-ins and homelessness.The APEC CEO Summit — said to be the biggest gathering of world leaders in the city since the founding of the United Nations there in 1945 — offers a chance to reset that narrative.“There’s a lot at stake,” said David McCuan, a political science professor at Sonoma State University. “It’s a bit of a forward-looking, turning of the page.”The event will bring toge...Today in Sports – Nathan Vasher returns a missed FG 108 yds. for a TD, longest play in NFL history

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to confirm reports about a possible deal with Hamas to free Israeli hostages trapped in Gaza on Sunday, but attributed any movement toward an agreement to Israel’s deadly ground offensive in the region.“There could be [a deal], but I think the less I said about it, the more I’ll increase the chances that it materializes,” Netanyahu told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday during an interview on “Meet the Press.”“I can say that we weren’t close at all until we started the ground operation,” Netanyahu said, adding that the pressure the Israel Defense Forces has put on Hamas leadership “the one thing that might create a deal.”Israel began its ground invasion into Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas-led attack, during which around 1,200 Israelis were killed, according to Israeli officials, and an estimated 240 people taken hostage.Thousands more Palestinians have been killed since the war began — more than 11,000, two-thirds ...Latest news
