CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old did not practice Friday on the campus of University of North Carolina-Charlotte after he was a limited participant Thursday. He had a thick layer of athletic tape … Read more

As a Black woman who grew up in New York City in the late ’90s and early aughts, double Dutch has always been near and dear to my heart. In the summertime, the balmy Bronx streets would be filled with kids hanging out on their blocks with time to kill and limited means. We’d fashion … Read more
Jimmy Garoppolo has been on the other side, the one that feels a loud and warm embrace every time the San Francisco 49ers visit SoFi Stadium to play the Rams.
