California tornadoes are rare in October. It’s the third-least common month for tornadoes in the state after June and July. There’s only been one October twister in the state in the past decade, coming on Oct. 8, 2022 in Lake Elsinore. #CAwx

Fred Warner is the San Francisco 49ers’ fierce heart. Now that he joins Nick Bosa on the shelf for the season, the Niners’ brass faces a tough choice over how much help they can afford to add.

Is losing Fred Warner for the season a knockout blow for the 49ers?

Macklin Celebrini (19 years, 120 days) on Saturday vs Ducks became the 2nd-youngest player in #SJSharks history, and youngest in just shy of 30 years, to record a 3-assist game. Jeff Friesen was 19 years, 89 days on Nov. 2, 1995 vs Devils. #NHLStats

I think the argument he’s making is that the NBA claiming the WNBA has too many losses to pay players more without transparency leads to speculation of how they are dividing the money

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

I'm that weird person who rewatched "Gilmore Girls" in anticipation of its 25th anniversary this week, curious about its secret sauce and why it still means so much to so many. Herein are a theory or two. What are yours, fellow fans? www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Why ‘Gilmore Girls’ still works, 25 years later

“Gilmore Girls” fans still swoon over Luke and Lorelai’s unresolved romance, but that unspoken passion hid a deeper love story at the heart of the show.

After Mac Jones played through plenty of pain to finish his most recent start, it’s not clear he can start Sunday at Tampa Bay.

"He definitely wasn’t good enough to go today."

It's San Jose Sharks opening day. So are they going to be good this year?

Some things to think about heading into the seventh year since the Sharks were in the postseason | @sfchronicle.com

Key questions for Sharks: Are Macklin Celebrini, young core ready to emerge from NHL basement?

The San Jose Sharks are in a six-year slump while rebuilding around young talent. While the postseason might still be out of reach, the 2025-26 season could mark a return to relevance.

Jessica Berman was previously announced as a keynote speaker at the ESPNW Summit.

The current agenda no longer lists Berman as a speaker, and the keynote conversation with Hannah Storm is now with "a speaker to be announced."
