This will be Nick Bosa's first purchase after signing historic contract extension

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:34:00 GMT

(KRON) -- 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa agreed to a record extension on Wednesday that makes him the highest-paid defensive player in history. The deal, which was officially signed on Friday, will reportedly pay Bosa $170 million for the next five years, including $122.5 million guaranteed. With all that money going into his bank account, what will the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year's first purchase be?A house."Definitely get a house out here, which will be a pretty big purchase," Bosa said with a chuckle during a news conference Friday, which was his first time speaking to the media since signing the deal. Watch the soundbite in the video player above. Bosa's answer may sound cliché. However, buying a house in the Bay Area -- specifically in Santa Clara County -- isn't an easy purchase, even for an NFL player. Before signing his huge extension, Bosa's 2022 salary was $895,000, according to Spotrac. The median home value in Santa Clara County is approximately $1.4 mi...

Novak Djokovic will face Daniil Medvedev the US Open final. It’s a rematch from 2021

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:34:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic limited big-serving Ben Shelton to five aces and broke him five times in their U.S. Open semifinal Friday. Djokovic pushed back when the 20-year-old unseeded American produced a late stand that got the home crowd into the match.And after overcoming what he called “a little black hole” caused by tension to right himself, finish off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (4) victory and reach his record-tying 10th final at Flushing Meadows and 36th at all major tournaments, Djokovic added a touch of insult to injury by mimicking the kid’s “Hang up the phone!” celebration gesture.Djokovic then pointed to his temple and pounded his fist on his chest, before a stone-faced Shelton met him at the net for the most perfunctory of handshakes. A year after Djokovic could not travel to the United States for the Open because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19, the 36-year-old from Serbia is one victory away from a fourth title in New York and 24th Grand Slam championship overall...

ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the seventh time in 11 games, Eddie Rosario went deep and drove in three runs and the major league-leading Atlanta Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-2 on Friday night.The Braves (92-48) have won two straight following a three-game skid.

D’Arnaud’s dropped in front of left fielder Jack Suwinski at 71 mph.“It’s kind of a testament to how far we’ve come as a team,” manager Brian Snitker said. “Last year we would’ve struck out three times. If you put the ball in play, something good can happen. A lot of teams do that to us. Even though we’re a power team, if you’re not striking out … I just think it shows our growth as a team and offense.”Acuña put that trend to rest in the fourth, driving his 35th homer 455 feet to c...
